"Of course." She gave her surroundings one more passive glance. They had a plan, of course. "Our little friend will be in motion shortly." The French slipped off her tongue. Melanie hardly cared if no-majs saw her do magic recently. It would be of little relevance soon enough if all things went according to plan. And through her own ~~dodgy and illegal~~ research, some no-majs were very receptive to the idea of magic. Since there were Hogwarts students around, though, Melanie was sly about it. Gripping her wand in her pocket, she glanced over her shoulder at a specific street behind her, her eyes unblinking. She knew Duncan knew the plan because they had gone over it for weeks now.

Melanie's demeanour hadn't gone unnoticed. The loss of weight, the lack of a glow... it was unusual and not something he approved of in the slightest. She might be the older twin, technically speaking, but if they didn't have slightly more pressing matters at hand, he wouldn't have hesitated in bringing something up.

The plan. Duncan gripped the box in his pocket with one hand, the other hand reaching into his other pocket to take out his wand. He didn't need to do what he was planning on doing, not when there were so many Muggles nearby, but he was a man who liked precaution and this was simply one way to cover up his tracks. While Melanie did her thing, he moved away from her and quietly made his way towards a certain familiar face.

It was then that a number of things happened at once.

There was a loud screeching sound as a violent red bus came to a sudden stop in the middle of the street. A number of people nearby turned to look at the commotion and the bus driver started arguing with a random muggle. While all of this was going on, Duncan slipped the box out of his pocket, held it up close to Kaysha's face and blew gently. The powdery contents were already blowing towards the Muggle Studies professor's face but Duncan wasn't lingering around to watch. He slipped back towards his previous position next to Mel as quickly as he could and lifted the charm on his body.

"It's been done. Now we wait for the next phase..."
