The owlery was out too, as Cutty feared being harassed by an owl and that some of the goods might be likely to get snatched up by a hungry and less-oft used owl. The kitchens were the perfect place!
The boy looked severe given who he was. His hair was combed. His hands and face washed and cleaned and his house-coloured silver and green tie was tied neatly around a clean and pressed shirt. Cutty's school back was filled to near busting not with school books or parchment or quills, but his sweet stash which he was totally serious about selling.
Fern came crawling out between the barrels and choked as she saw the person standing in the hall. It was him -
CUTHBERT. The one she had done incredibly well avoiding since the boat debacle, despite the fact that he was in the same house as her cousin.
"What are YOU doing here!?" She demanded, "
You're not a Hufflepuff! Go back to your own house! Shoo!" The 11-year-old waved her hands at him, stepping until she was practically nose-to-nose with the boy.
