That made it all the better!
She paused behind him and rolled her eyes at the comment he made. Merlin's farting jinx? Whaa? Nevermind that. Not really knowing many spells to make this work expertly, Sophie just aimed the balloon at Cutty's head and lobbed it forward. It sailed toward him and now all she had to do was wait and see if it hit.
Cutty had gotten to a fairly meaty chunk of dialogue in the story and found it so hilarious that he began to laugh out loud. His head tossed back and his mouth open and the half-second between his first syllable was when it happened.
K A P L O O O O S H K!!!
Soaked from the head on downward, his dark eyes grew wide and the area across his nose and cheeks flushed crimson as his head flung in the direction of the offending water balloon.
SOPHIE NEWELL!!! Who he seemed to think was his arch-foe, even though he totally started it that day at the opening feast. "
Ah-heh! So you want to play it that way, do ya? Alright then, Newell. Have it your way!" Cutty's hand reached into his bag and pulled out his Bertie Botss Every Flavour Beans, the entire contents of which he intended to toss one by one towards Sophie.
Briefly, somewhere in the back of his mind Cutty had considered the profit loss. But he was too lost in the moment to not think it would be worth it. He opened the bag and in his impatience half of the colourful little beans scattered towards Sophie as though they were siding with her, very much to Cutty's chagrin.
No matter. He still had plenty of ammo. And he intended to get the first shot in. His dirty little hand immediately grabbed a handful of beans and began chucking them her way.
