So as Sophie and Tobes approached Thompson's office door - the sun was just coming up, which made her even more anxious because that meant people would probably be waking up soon - Sophie was EVEN MORE careful about treading very lightly and being as absolutely silent in her movements as possible. Her eyes were big, her posture was tense, and even still, she couldn't help but smile because she was with Tobes and this was HIS idea and she was so, so proud of him. Her troublemaking, evil mastermind. Guh.

She set the bucket down softly so he could add a few more water balloons, if he wanted, and took a moment to steady her breathing - she was so excited - and veryyyyy methodically and carefully began her efforts to cast the tripwire spell Fuller had taught her in front of Thompson's door. Since they'd just done all this once, they should be professionals and get in and get right back out, right?

Nope. The tripwire spell took her a second try again, but she did succeed, and gave Tobes a look of OKAY HURRY QUICK LET'S DO THIS AND GO.

"-teddy bear," Toby was saying, finishing his sentence and nudging Soph when they were still halfway across the grounds and out of earshot of Thompson's office. He could TELL that his best friend was more anxious about this location, whereas in contrast Toby had already become way more chill with the entire thing. Maybe it was because they'd already done one office (and therefore were past the point of no return, seeing as they'd get caught if they went back now), or maybe because he knew Thompson wouldn't be mad at them. He'd seen fit to try and chill Soph out a bit too.

But not anymore, because now it was back to being QUIET AND STUFF. At least outside wasn't so dangerous, because the weather made noises all the time, and there was always the possibility that Thompson wasn't even here. But anyway, shhhhhhhhhh.

Once again, when Soph did her job, Toby got to work with the second bucket, filling it up with the waterballoons as quickly as he could whilst still getting the spell right. Even now, after getting it right once, Toby would occasionally mess up the spell and need to try again. He blamed that on the adrenaline and the excitement of the situation though, and was patient with himself.

"Mizurus Boru... Mizurus Boru..."

Soph wasn't that patient though, which was... accurate. Ha. Toby just poked out his tongue at her and kept filling up the waterballoons to make them watery orbs and place them into the bucket.

Okay. DONE? WAS SOPHIE DONE? WAS SHE READY TO RUN WHEN THIS WAS ALL... DONE? Maybe they could go visit the creature playpens after? See if the nifflers could steady their nerves? ... Maybe not.

Toby got to his feet, keeping his ears pricked for any noises within the office.
