The boy ducked into the closest shop as the HEAVENS opened and every inch of water in the world fell from it and onto his head. Blasted billywigs!

He was drenched.

And even drenched wasn't an appropriate word for the state of him right now.

Mama would liken him to a drowned rat. Daddy would just laugh and ask if he had tried to catch any rain drops on his tongue. Neither would make him laugh. Neither would impress him. Roo would just want a nice warm bath and a cup of hot chocolate for when he got out.

He muttered something about looking like the fountain had taken a disliking to him, and tried to shake the water out of his hair like Elphie did. But Elphie was a dog, and he wasn't. SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. SHAKE IT OFF. BYE WATER. SHAKE.
Chloe was so invested in the prospect of getting her very first wand she wasn't really aware of the drippy boy that had just wandered in. She would have been fine with the state he was in, as it wasn't really her business to question why someone else choose to go out soaking wet, but when he wrung himself out like a dish towel and some of the sprinkles of water landed ON her....Chloe cared.

Her eyes got all big with surprise and her hands flew to her hair. Her thick, blonde hair did not need to be wet. It was hard enough taming the beast of thick, semi-curly and frizzy hair without water in the picture. How rude. This boy had no manners.

And she was going to tell him so.

Scrunching up her nose to show how serious and grown up she was, Chloe tapped the boy on the shoulder, "Excuse me. You got my hair wet. I'm waiting." For her apology, that is.
