Wait...was she playing Cotton Eye Joe? Alice burst out laughing. She hadn't heard this song since gym class at her muggle school. If she was on the ground and not in the air, she probably could have started doing the dance for it. Instead she just chose to hum along with the music.
That is until she spotted balloons inflating themselves...well inflated balloons aren't too bad...although wait....
Alice's eyes widened slightly as a balloon near her popped, nearly spraying her entire body with shaving cream. Well...wasn't this something? Alice carefully steered her horse over, dodging another balloon that had just popped.
"Protego!" Alice yelled, a small shield forming around her and Anna Bell. Keeping her shield up and steering was going to take some effort.
