There was nothing at all for him to worry about because she always had his back. Even if this was simply about refilling water guns.

The instructions to run at the fountain didn't faze her. Even if they got sprayed by it. It was, after all, only water. "Come on, Ary. You can stay behind me for now.. if you want." Chances were it wouldn't last very long and she would end up running off and climbing up onto the fountain.

Getting to her feet, the water gun in one hand, Bryony took hold of Aryan's hand with her other and started off running at the fountain at a speed she knew he could handle. See, always thinking about him!

It was time to spray the fountain now, yes? Don't mind her while she did! The others were close by?

Suddenly Bryony was off and running and spraying, dragging Aryan with her and he simply saluted them both as they did, before turning towards his sister.

"Did you pick a watergun? You ready to go too?" He was going to make her be part of his world on this too - or... well, at least part of his plan. It would be nice for them to both have established friends before they started at Hogwarts! It made the whole experience seem that much more exciting. "Go together???" He asked, giving her a wide grin. He didn't wait for her to answer, just assuming she would agree, before his own feet were carrying him towards the water with a battle cry as he sprayed. "AAAAHHH!"

... What had been the point of hiding earlier?

If Gilly, and everyone else must know, he wasn’t keen on having attention to himself; he preferred the shadows. Charging at the fountain would definitely do that sort of horrific thing. Besides, he was always in Bry’s spotlight {probably the only one he had grown used to at this point of his short life} and that was more than enough.

It really was unsurprising she yet again interpreted his look correctly. Oh no; he didn’t need to hide or anything, just let everyone else go ahead. Especially Drake since this was his mission. Yet before Ary knew it, Bry had grabbed his hand and he was yanked to his feet. Now, he may have had lots of experience being towed by Bry at rapid paces but if there was one thing he did not inherit from the God of Athleticism it was the ability to run properly. Heck, he failed at all things sporty.

As for Drake? Drake was clearly the most enthusiastic. And loudest. Was he going to give Bry a run for her money? This certainly seemed as though it would be the case. Ary let got of the hand holding his to follow Drake’s lead of letting loose and letting the fountain have it.

Take that, fountain!
Everything then started to happen all at once, which the girl with the curls could not say she was completely surprised by considering everyone that made up their little group. She watched as Bryony grabbed Aryan's hand and made the both of them dart toward the fountain. It would only be a matter of moments before her brother followed suit, and she would continued to watch them all because, in this situation, she did not think it was better down where it was wetter.

Her dark eyes met with Drake's when he asked if she had made a selection and was ready to charge after the other two. While Gilly was pleased that he had offered them to go together, she didn't respond. While they all dreamed about going up there to attack the fountain, she knew that would be a big mistake. Her mind had already been made, which didn't really matter as her twin made a battle cry and ran toward the fountain.

She, still holding on to the bag with the remaining water guns in case any of them, did step forward a few paces, close enough to be with the group but definitely not close enough to the fountain. She would be content just looking at the world around her, right here on the alley floor, where such wonderful things surrounded her. And the biggest perk of all would be her curls would not, in theory, get wet from where she had positioned herself.
