"AN OWL JUST SHAT ON ME!" June cried.
Alice erupted into giggles, so much so she had to lean on her best friend so as to not go tumbling to the floor. Dorcas looked as though she was using all her strength not to laugh, but the small smile was unmistakeable.
"Hold still June, I'll get it off." She smirked, leaning forward with her tissue.
"IM NOT GONNA HOLD STILL THERES BIRD POOP ON MY ROBES AND ON MY FACE."
"I think it matches the blue quite nicely." Alice remarked between high pitched laughs. Dorcas snorted.
"Oh shut it-"
"June stay still otherwise I'll end up wiping your eyebrows off instead."
"Fine, fine just get it off."
One of June's charms had backfired a few days ago. It was an adjustment of an extension spell that she wanted so she could grow her hair longer, apparently annoyed at the inability to tie her bob up during practical lessons and too impatient to brew a potion. Unfortunately she somehow ended up removing her eyebrows, and for the past week had been drawing them on to the best of her abilities.
Dorcas sucked in a breath as June whipped her head around, and Alice gasped. "I told you not to move you dumbass."
"...Why? W- what have you done?!"
"I told you not to move."
Alice clapped a hand to her mouth. June had told them about the incident, but she had not yet let them see her empty face. Now, that was changing. She looked so... different with just one eyebrow.
"Dorcas, I swear on Rowena Ravenclaw, if you've done what you think I've done then I'll- I'll- I will-"
Dorcas' face grew red with the effort of not laughing, and her eyes wide. "I didn't mean to."
Alice had to turn her head before bursting into a new set of giggles. She suspected Dorcas had done it on purpose so they'd get to see the full extent of the damage (she'd been saying she wanted to), but she couldn't help but feel bad. She felt even worse that she was laughing, but the self control needed not to was impossible.
Slowly, Juniper reached a hand to her face, fingers swiping at where her right eyebrow should have been. When she felt nothing, she paled. "This isn't funny."
Dorcas shook her head and closed her eyes, lips twitching. "No, no it isn't. I'm so sorry."
"You're laughing!"
"I'm not." She turned her head to the side and snorted. "Okay, maybe I am, but Juney, I'm sorry but this is the best thing to happen all year."
