Pete, we need to chat.

[seabrit]

Why?

[redwhiteandhero]

We'll have to get you your own stuff next time we go to Hogsmeade, but you can use mine until then.

[seabrit]

I thought it wasn't sanitary to share this kind of stuff...

[He stops talking as Al works his magic around his mouth.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Eh whatever, it's only for a little bit. And you're my brother-- how much could it hurt?

[seabrit]

[Peter made a face, sticking his tongue out.]

I got some of that stuff in my mouth. It's gross.

[redwhiteandhero]

You should've kept your mouth shut then. Spit it out; don't swallow.

[seabrit]

[He spits into the sink, still making a face.]

I didn't know you didn't want me to talk during.

[redwhiteandhero]

Well shut it now, I'm almost finished.

[seabrit]

[He waits obediently for Alfred's last few strokes.]

[redwhiteandhero]

[Aaaand done.]

There, now get yourself cleaned up, and I've got some stuff you can rub on so it won't burn later.

[seabrit]

It'll burn later?!

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah, sometimes it gets all itchy, but don't worry about it.

[seabrit]

Does that mean we're not actually supposed to do it then?

[redwhiteandhero]

Hell no, if you kept running around like that everyone would laugh at you.

[Meaning Al would laugh at you. Same thing.]

[seabrit]

[He pouts, then splashes water on his face to get the rest of the cream off.]

I look older with it though.

[redwhiteandhero]

Not when it's all patchy like that, squirt. Don't worry, if you shave it it comes back in thicker.
