Third Floor Common Room [Saturday, Mid-morning]

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Trouble with being six, rather than sixteen, was always going to start with the size problem. Mostly the height problem. Everything good always seemed to be kept just out of reach of small hands, and that included a decent breakfast.

Effy didn't really want to starve, but at the same time, there wasn't exactly anyone around to do it all for her.

So she was going to stand and stare up at the higher cupboards, like maybe she could make them relinquish the food in there with just the power of her mind.

Clearly it wasn't going very well.

Alex glared at her and then calmly went over, filled a glass with water and dumped it on her head.

Yep.

She made a squincy face at the cold water drenching her hair and glared up at him. "That's not a lake!"

"Oops," Alex said, not sounding too bothered about that. "My mistake. Guess I am dumb, then."

"But you promised!" Rose argued indignantly. "You said you'd dump me in a lake. Please?"

"You really want to get dumped in a lake?" Alex asked, staring. "Really?"

"Duh!" she said, staring back. "I never got dumped in a lake before!"

"Do you know how to swim?" Alex had to ask because he was not dumping her into a lake and having her drown on him.

Now she just looked insulted. "Of course I do! I'm five!" Like he might have forgotten.

"...fine," Alex said, already heading out of the common room. "I'll go dump you in a lake and then I'm coming back here to have breakfast."
