Charlotte was having a unusually unfocused day.
How horrid. Charlotte thought as she passed by a child begging for something fr pom its mother. And Charlotte being Charlotte she stopped off at her favorite place in the world.
Ice cream. Heading to the counter she pondered a sundae with toffee, chocolate, and marshmallow, with an apple topping.
As she waited for her sundae to arrive a thought flashed across her mind. Soon her family reunion was going to come up.
Oh how she dreaded those things.
All Gryffindors, and aspiring to be Gryffindors gathered in one place. Rowdy and loud.
And she, the lone Slytherin.
Charlotte sighed and picked up her Ice Cream. As she was heading away from the counter she felt someone bump into her. Then she felt a cold, wet substance on her nice white shirt and a voice say.
"Oh I am so very sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. I should pay more attention to where I'm going."
Charlotte just stood there her mouth wide open with shock.
Well at least she has the decency to look embarrassed Taking a deep breath she put on a smile and said.
"Well this is a fine mess/." She reached for some towels and started wiping her shirt. "But really, do watch where you are going. Next time you could mess up someone shirt who really gets angry."
