Ben MacFusty was not your average five-year-old. For one thing, Aunt Rhona let him play with dragons. Whenever he wanted.
But also, he got to hang out at St. Mungo's a lot and it was really fun. The Mediwitches were really cool and played with him when Daddy was with patients, and sometimes they pushed him down the hallways in rolling bed races! But only when no one else was around. Otherwise they'd get into trouble.
"Hey!" he said brightly, wandering into the nice lady's room. "Daddy said I was 'posed to make sure you didn't run away."
