As genteel as her sister usually was towards her, Ruby really didn’t fancy being faced with a hangry Tabitha. She’d made a quick note with the specific brand and type of candy that Tabby had requested and folded it neatly into her bag that morning in order to, heavens forbid, not forget.

After a good hour of shopping and browsing and admiring all the new books that had come into print in Flourish and Blotts (you could take the girl out of Ravenclaw but you could never take the Ravenclaw out of the girl), the Mediwitch strolled her way over to the fountain for a quick pit stop, to collect her thoughts and consult the aforementioned list. Typically the thirty-five year old would greet the Cherubs with a friendly hello and drop a coin into the fountains waters to hopefully prevent the inevitable aqua attack but the thought must’ve slipped her mind as as soon as her bottom touched the stone she was subjected to a streak of water directly to the back of her head which dripped its way down onto her note and smudged the impeccable handwriting to complete illegibility.

“Oh Merlin” she heaved a sigh whilst attempting to shake the remaining water droplets off of the paper.

Running errands was one of the few things that could get Noah out of the Ministry during the work week when the minister was busy with one thing or another which demanded him to be nearby and assisting. And since the latest was something that Genevieve herself frowned upon, it was left up to him to handle it himself, which the personal assistant had accepted with not much trouble. At least it was nice weather outside for once and they had grown from the taste testing that had started his time at the Ministry.

Stepping through the moving stones from the Leaky Cauldron the former Hufflepuff paused to get his bearings of the familiar alley, admittedly not once to spend much time there. At least since the summers when he spent days on end gathering school supplies. His eyes flickering around the area but alas not paying the fountain nearby much heed which if he had remembered…

SplOOSh!

Noah felt the wetness hit the side of his face just as the personal assistant had decided to move on in the direction of his destination. “Seriously?!” he mused, turning and stepping back from the offending cherubs as he pulled out a hankerchief from his robe pocket. The young man hoping to be out of the line of fire as he gathered himself. Like seriously, why hadn't someone removed or at least busted the troublesome fountain in a freak "accident"?
