This not only caused large brown foot prints and mud all over the clean kitchen, but a little squeal from Elyon.

Slowly setting his little sister down with wide eyes, he stared up at an angry Mrs. Skylar and an equally frightened Selina. Staring down at the mess the two had just made, he stuttered, "Oh, I'm so s-s-sorry Mrs. S-Skylar. I-I can c-clean that if- if you'd like....." He trailed off out of fear and shame. Shame for ruining the kitchen and fear of Mrs. Skylar's punishment for them. He wasn't sure what punishment in most houses were like, but if they were anything like what his own mum did, he'd be sprinting back out that door. Of course he was sure that Sophia wasn't like his own mother and definitely wouldn't hurt them (at least he was pretty sure of that anyway), but he was still hoping not to upset her. Going back to the door he began wiping his shoes off and setting them down by the door. "Sorry again ma'am."

Sophie's eyes softened at the sound of Christopher's voice. When he apologized about the floor she waved him off and said, "Oh don't you worry about that deary. It isn't your fault. My daughter was the one who was leading by example." She shot her daughter another look and crossed her arms, "Isn't that right Selina Arden?"

Sophie wiped her hands on her apron and moved across the kitchen to set it down on the hanger. Then she drew out her wand and pointed it at the floor, "Scourgio!" With the blink of an eye the floor was cleaned and she set her wand back in her holster.

"Right then. All of you head into the dinning room. Jake should be there. And for Merlin's sake Selina, follow by example and take off those muddy shoes like Christopher did."

Selina could not believe her ears. So this was how it was going to be. Christopher was going to get of scott free on everything he did and Selina was going to be the one who got blamed for everything. Typical. Just typical. Not that she wanted to argue with Sophie Skylar, the woman was an Ex-Auror and was the right hand woman at the Ministry of Magic in Australia. Messing with her mother was not an option.

So she removed her shoes and waved to Elyon and Christopher, "Come on you lot. The dinning room is this way." She led them into the next room where the dinning room was and took a seat beside her father.
