 Top of the Stairs
Headmaster Bontecou stood on the highest landing between floors one and two. The water lapped over the top of the stairs, making the marble very slippery. The water level seemed to continue rising and would soon make it to the second floor if they didn't stop it. Hmm... Well, as his mother always said, "When like gives you lemons, Reynard, make lemonade." And that's exactly what he intended to do.
First, he draped a big fluffy beach towel (blue with a bronze eagle, of course) over the railing. Then, he shucked off his shoes and took his wand out of his robe pocket. A quick flick of his wrist across the water turned it bright orange for a moment before it went back to looking as dark and cold as before. Rey stuck a toe in the water and nodded approvingly.
Now, this was the part of his plan that he hadn't quite thought out. He was ready but there weren't any students around..... |
