One second Laura was standing holding one end of a rope and looking up at the third year, the next she was drenched! Spluttering, she stared around wildly, only to notice that Professor Lawson, who seemed to be completely dry, had caused some sort of rainstorm to pour from the ceiling. Blinking rapidly, Laura tried to get the water to stop going in her eyes, and to stop her side fringe getting plastered over them.

Pulling a slide from an inner pocket of her robes, Laura clipped her fringe to the side of her head and began to think. Quickly, she used the spell that Rachel had used on her when she had come out of the flooded dungeons to dry her robes off. Then, to make sure that she didn't get wet again, she quickly shouted "Impervious!" No more water landed on her, and Laura was very proud off this acomplishment.
