SPOILER!!: Tessa, Alice, Airey

Those words were the only warning Tessa had. But, given her Quidditch reflexes of catching Quaffles and dodging Bludgers, it wasn't too surprising that she was able to get out of the way of the water balloon in time.
"Oi!" she exclaimed, looking around for the source of the water balloons, a slow smile spreading on her face. "If you're going to start throwing those, you had best share ammo with the other side!" she called out, stifling laughter.

Which was also very counter productive since Hershel tended to shed fur. Shudder.
So, the ferret was now in its muggle telephone booth cage in his office while Airey had left Tiberius safe and sound in the laboratory.
The astronomer now found himself by the Black Lake with the sole purpose of getting some fresh air. Perhaps even a little bit of a jog would be in order. He could simply transfigure his suit into a track suit for such purposes. Since his back had been feeling better recently he had decided to up the anty a bit with exercise. Keep his already unusually high energy levels up.
Approaching the edge of the lake, Airey looked at the water and remembered with a reluctant fondness the day that Tiberius had come flopping up on to the shore. He bent over to pick up a particularly smooth rock to skip and was completely unaware of the water balloons heading in his direction.

Airey loved her anyway, though, so it didn't matter that she was intruding upon his free time, right? Right? Right.
"Hi professor," she greeted cheerily, as oblivious to the water balloons as he was. "Whatcha doing?"

Before he could express his displeasure about this with some sort of potentially inappropriate astronomy related slur, he turned his attention to see just who the culprit was and found himself grinning instead. "Ah, Miss Fischer, pleasure to see you out and about," he greeted. "I was just thinking about ta-----"
*SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK*
A water balloon hit the professor right in the face. It broke instantly on contact, soaking his top half while he stumbled backwards a step or two out of surprise. *SPLASH* Left shoe in the water.
First Balloon- Miss
He gave Tessa a small wave she was laughing that was good.
"Why would I give my targets fuel. Nope this is my attack." He laughed and looked to his other balloons.
"I can send another one to you if you want though." Pulling the blue bra back he set it flying at her.
SWOOOOOSH
Through the air it went.
Third Balloon was going through the OH NO was that pretty coming right near the balloons. The balloon hit professor from the street.
"Sorry professor cool dude I did yell in coming though." See he warned people they were coming at him didn't he hear?
Pulling back the blue bra again he set two more balloons in and pulled back. Pretty wasn't wet yet and she might want to join in the fun. Plus this could give her a start to see how his aim was for you know quidditch reasons.
"FIRE"
Sending the balloons off toward them sailing quickly through the air.
Oh and Tessa
can't forget her, he turned and pulled back again picking up another water balloon.
"FIRE"
Did his balloons hit their target?
