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.
She was ABSOLUTELY DONE, both with her tripwire thing and the SITUATION AS A WHOLE. OKAY. Sophie had taken longer to set up the tripwire spell, long enough that by the time she was successful Toby was done with the water balloons already, so she gave him an anxious look, slid her wand back into its holster, and looked ALL THE STRESSED. She was just WAITING for the door to open and for Thompson to yell at them and forget all about how much he loved them and favored them as his best students - he'd instantly forget and he would never give them cookies anymore and she'd never be able to swim in his pool AGAIN. He'd disown her from letting her be the flower girl at his wedding. Life would be over.

She saw all the forthcoming opportunities for fun stripped away in her mind's eye, and when she looked at Toby, she probably looked like her life was ending.

Rising to her feet, she gestured between the bucket and the space above the door with a sense of urgency, giving Toby the 'okay' to do the placement charm again. She was fully capable of doing it herself, but at this point, she thought it was better that the cool cucumber took care of it.

Aaaand she was already starting to back away from the office door. READY TO BE OUTTA THERE.
