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.
Toby snorted in laughter. Not even quietly. OOPS. He couldn't help it; it was just funny how Soph totally DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM about Thompson. Man. She'd probably see soon. Their chances of getting caught in the act were now very close to zero, but BOTH professors would surely know who did this. Soph herself had actually asked Professor Fuller for the spell they needed to pull it off.
But Toby shut up laughing super quickly, and nodded at the Ravenclaw. Once again, he raised his wand and did the same wand movement that he'd done up at Fuller's office, accompanied with an ever-so-quiet,
"Fixate."
The bucket floated through the air and hung above the door, doing that same teetering thing. Once again, when the tripwire was triggered, the bucket would tip, and waterballoons would pelt the poor soul below.
OKAY. OKAY NEARLY DONE. The Hufflepuff inched closer, leeeeeaned up and rapped on the bucket once with his wand to turn it invisible, and just like that the space above the door looked empty again.
Now they really needed to scram. No doubt Sophie was raring to go already. Toby grinned at her and gestured that they leave at once, before high-tailing it out of there alongside Soph.
