There were...just so many staiiiirs. Like now. And she sort of misplaced the box containing the helium.
Lottie kept on talking the whole way up to the sixth floor, and sipping on her raspberry tea, too. Whatever she'd been talking about wasn't nearly as important as Lex's hot chocolate, based on the amount of answers she got from the Gryffindor.
Once inside, she noticed the showers, and was told by Lex she should go first. A tiny smirk appeared on her face. She could've just left the hot chocolate on the floor while she tested the umbrella, you know? Like she did with her tea. "Okay, I'll go first, no problem," because she really wanted to know if this was a functional umbrella. Who cared how it looked, right? As long as it works...and looks pretty.
So, the girl opened her umbrella, placed it so it'll cover her completely and went to..., "Hey, how does this--," --work? Never mind. A BEAM spread across her face as she noticed the shower heads were magically charmed, it seemed, to be turned on whenever someone stepped below them. That was pretty cool, Professor Magnus! "It's working, right?" she said, as she eyed the water falling from the edges of the umbrella, and checked the constellations to see if there was water seeping through...but..., "Hey, it works!" she was also touching the umbrella, just to make sure.
THIS WAS TOTALLY WICKED!
Lottie stayed under the shower for a while longer, before finally stepping out, "You should try it now!" she was incredibly excited over this. Heh.
Lex watched on curiously as Lottie stepped under the shower that had no handle. She would have asked how she planned to get the thing working when out of nowhere it started gushing water like it was nobody's business! COOOOL!
Now she couldn't wait for her turn! Not that she was anxious enough to wanna give up her hot chocolate and simply try it in another shower while Lottie took her turn. Nope. There was no rush.
Siiiiiiip.
She watched carefully as the girl took her turn. You know, in case there was some exact science to getting wet. One could never be too sure you know. Lex's focus shifted nearly completely from the hot chocolate, that was just about done mind you, when Lottie started making comments about the effectiveness of her umbrella. Well of course it would work, it
was made by her. Honestly, sometimes that girl could be so modest.
Oh! And it was her turn to go! She finished the last of her hot chocolate,
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, then grabbed her umbrella and headed for the shower. Seeing as this thing was magic she had to open it before stepping under. When she did she heard that familiar gushing and beating against the top of her umbrella.
Did it...is it...working...?
She stood perfectly still for a moment trying to answer her own question and when she realized that she wasn't getting soaked a wide grin broke out on her face.
"YES! Mine works too!" It looked like rubbish compared to Lottie's but it
worked!
She hopped out from under the shower and flashed the umbrella a bit.
"Time for refills in celebration!" She said, beaming over at Lottie as she picked up the blue thermos again. More please?
