Text Cut: Ms. Joshi (plus the pair of younger teens - feel free to continue as if she dried them off if you'd like!)

Several paces beyond the bustling fountain was Beitris, her robes falling neatly into place with not a hem out of line. Her keen gaze swept the scene in an instant: the headless cherub gurgling water and the appearance of Krittika Joshi precisely where she ought to be. No splinching. No misplacement. No unfortunate entanglements with ornamental statuary. The noise that came with the arrival though... that was something the examiner made note of instantly.

However, the nearby splash—and the utterly sodden pair clambering out of the fountain—drew a slight narrowing of Beitris' eyes. She registered the cause-and-effect chain swiftly: startled civilians, the reaction that came following a loud Apparition arrival, and a collision of bodies. No immediate harm done, save for perhaps wounded pride, wet clothing, and a comic book that looked as though it had survived a minor monsoon. These all things the examiner noted on parchment.

She first approached the pair of teens that had taken a swim in the fountain. "Would either of you care to be dried off properly?" she inquired, lifting her wand with a subtle, almost exasperated air. "It would spare you the ignominy of dripping through the remainder of the Alley." If so, a jet of hot air would come out of her wand with a wave.

Her gaze then returned to Krittika, her priorities remaining clear. Despite the minor disturbance, the practical exam would continue. When she spoke again, it was with her usual brisk professionalism.

"Your next destination is the entrance of St. Oswald's Home for Old Witches and Wizards. You are to Apparate just outside the main gates, not within the grounds themselves," she emphasised, a slight hardening of her gaze suggesting that she had seen students botch this in the past. Precision and discretion were paramount, after all.

Beitris tapped her clipboard once before placing it at her side. "You may take fifteen seconds to prepare your visualisation. Apparate only when you are fully confident in your destination." A brisk pause followed before she added, "I will meet you there."

Without waiting for further comment, Beitris turned smartly on the spot and disappeared with a sharp, quiet pop, leaving behind nothing but a faint displacement of air.

OOC: Feel free to make a post here with your character departing via Apparition, otherwise please proceed to St. Oswald's Home.

One thing was for certain, however: it was not her goal to appear on the edge of the Fountain. Merlin knew that she had more important things to battle it out with a Fountain, of all things. It wouldn’t care if she accidentally sat or stood on its edge. Very shortly after departing from the Examination Room, Kritti found her feet making contact with the ground. She allowed herself to ensure she had settled nicely, that her knees didn’t buck even though the impact had been almost subtle. Next, she checked for any Splinching but found none. The most important factors of all? The Ravenclaw was facing the Headless Cherub. And she had avoided crushing anyone nearby. Excellent!
