Which he was getting low on, so he'd probably steal away to fill up the cup attached to his neck via lanyard after the next attraction.

Which... based on the loud noises from his youngest sister, she had now found what that attraction was going to be. Bumper cars? His body almost hurt now just thinking about it. And staring at people already enjoying the attraction, this one - like most magic events - had a twist on it. He nearly wanted to groan and bow out of the idea, but as per his usual he was powerless to say no to a sibling. Especially when Lisa was this excited. "Okay. Let's do the bumper cards. You in Maya?" He turned his attention to her.

He didn't have much time to wait for her reply though, before Lisa was TUGGING on his arm and waving it around. Luckily, he'd learned long ago the best protection for his body was to be a limp noodle for moments such as this. So there was no resistance from him. Though he could only imagine how silly they looked to onlookers, as he had also hit a growth spurt from end of term and beginning of summer and now sat at 5'6, with his tiny sister looking like a madman beside him. This was normal to him though. There wasn't even a flinch. "Okay, okay. We'll go." And because he didn't want to lose Maya either, he reached back and attempted to grab her hand as well so that both were pulled along by the Tiny Tornado Nam.

"It doesn't look that bad yet though."

She had been looking forward to watching the mailman drop the parcel off... then bring it inside... and then open it and get lost in them.

But when Lisa said she wanted to go to the Diagon Alley event, how was she supposed to say no? Once she got there, her eyes were as wide as saucers. Even though she had been at Hogwarts the last two years, seeing this stuff was new to her. Maya made sure she stayed close to her siblings so no one would get lost. With how crowded it was, she would not be surprised if they lost Lisa, though Evan had grown quite a bit so she was sure she would be able to find him.

When Maya heard the excited gasp come from the youngest Nam, she immediately focused her attention and saw the bumper cars. "Um... sure?" she replied to Evan with a slight shrug of her shoulders. She had a feeling if she said no, that wasn't an acceptable answer. And at least it wasn't her arm practically being ripped out of its socket by Lisa. She held onto Evan's hand, making sure she didn't get left behind. "Person who gets bumped the most buys ice cream afterwards," she added, a small smirk crossing her face.

With a better view of the bumper cars, she wondered what exactly made them magical - other than them hovering slightly above the ground. "Hey Lees, do you need help getting into one?"

Rule Number 1 of hanging with the Youngest Nam: Never ever ever say no. Lisa had taught Noah this lesson from an early age causing the eldest Nam to be wrapped around his little sister's tiny pinky. Lisa had known it from a young age that her eldest brother was very compliant. It was his personality - sweet, kind Noah who didn't want to cause trouble or bend the rules too much. Unfortunately her brother did not come with them today (he had to work - EW) buuuuuut she still had Maya and Evan who were with her. Maya, like Noah, was much easier to convince of things; however, Evan was the strongest at resisting her ways in reality - she just didn't know how to read her brother's deadpan face. He just gave her a deadpan expression and Lisa had yet to figure out just how EXACTLY to get past that.

Mark her words. She'd figure it out! Or so she swore to it on Dumbledore's polka dot stockings... er.. Dumbledore didn't have polka dot stockings.

Tiny Tornado Nam finally gave up on wiggling Evan's arm spastically when ice cream was mentioned. She kind of just stopped and her eyes grew as wide as saucers at the proposal. Hehe. Excellent. "I'm in! Ice cream it is. Deal!" she beamed and waited for their turn to get into the bumper car arena.

She was ever so slightly offended at the offer to help her get into a bumper car but once she eyed the cars one more time, she looked to Maya and nodded thrice. She meekly whispered. "Yes, please but don't TELL anyone." Especially any of her friends. She didn't want to appear lame. She was just tiny and sometimes being small was a struggle.

"What coloured Bumper Car do you want?"
