She even left him unsupervised in Diagon Alley, even after what had happened before, with that whole disappearance thing that got his name in the newspaper and made him SO FAMOUS. An actual CELEBRITY. Or something.

While they were on a rare day out in Diagon Alley, where he usually went with his dad, Spencer's mum had gone into the book shop to look for something and, rather than drag a bored and troublesome ten year old boy around with her, she had permitted him to sit on the bench outside and wait there instead. He'd promised not to get into any mischief or wander off with anyone, and she had promised to keep a close eye on him through the window of the shop.

Spencer, however, bored quickly. There was very little to occupy his wandering attention while just sitting on a bench, and so the bench quickly became an impromptu climbing frame. He clambered up onto the top of the backrest and balanced there, wobbling slightly back and forth and marvelling at the street from this wonderful new vantage point.

Today was a mum day. Surely he'd only be wasting it if he didn't get into some kind of trouble. But the question was, what?

Diagon Alley was way busier than he'd thought it was going to be, and giving Flynn the slip had proven more difficult than previous occasions because he couldn't just get on his skateboard and zip away. Józef did eventually manage to, though, when his cousin was occupied with his boyfriend, and without a backwards glance he was out of the bookshop (who had time for reading when there was so many, much more exciting things to do?) and

.....

Instead of running off to somewhere or something more interesting, Joey was confronted with a boy clambering all over a bench and balancing on the backrest of it! That looked cool, and of course the eleven year old immediately wanted to try it. So he did, climbing up and standing wobbly but grinning massively next to the other boy.

"Good view."
