The twins stayed long enough at the Ball to say hello to people, congradulate those who needed congradulating, etc... Less than 1/2 an hour later, they slipped out and high tailed it back to the shop. There wasn't much left to do... last minute labling and packaging, now that they knew who the winners were. The Bobble heads were charmed and ready to go. There were three dozen individual dolls and 1/2 a dozen special full sets packaged and waiting.
Fred and George cleared a section of one of their more prominent shelves (one of the ones they used for special sales), as well as some space on the counter for a set or two. Then they set to work on the flyers, Fred wanted all the lettering to be bright pink, but George finally prevailed upon his brother the benefit of customers being able to read (and thus place orders) it.
It was well after midnight, when all that was done.
Diagon Alley was completely deserted and within an hour, the twins were cloaked and moving about the area, posting flyers into the wee hours of the morning. They'd borrowed two Owls who would make trips to Hogsmeade, with even more flyers. The birds were sent on their way an hour or two before dawn, giving Fred and George pleanty of time to catch some sleep before the mayhem started...
