Bethany paled. Bathtime?! She knew from previous experience that bathing magical creatures was not the most exciting thing in the world. In fact, bathing any animal was a talent in itself, and Beth sure enough did not have that talent. She looked down at Taffy and silently hoped to Merlin that this wouldn't result in her covered in water and soap, she'd save that for the little crup in her arms.

"Alright Taffy, time to clean you up." She said hesitantly, emptying the tub and setting the rest of the materials in it to the side. She picked Taffy up and set him down into the tub, that way he wouldn't be able to dash away once the water touched him. She grabbed her wand from her robes and sent an "Aguamenti." into the tub. Taffy began to wriggle around once the water touched his paws and Beth did all she could do to prevent him from jumping up and running away. She already saw one poor boy's crup run around as soon as it heard the word 'bath' and nearly ran into Draper. That would've been a sight to see, she giggled to herself.

Once the water had filled the tub up to the level she wanted, she pointed her wand to Taffy's back and dampened the fur that was still dry. Once that was finished, she stopped the stream of water from her wand and picked up the shampoo bottle. "This is just shampoo Taffy, it won't hurt you." She said, and then proceeded to pour some onto the shivering crup's fur.
