Daphne wasn't particularly surprised when Liam immediately perked up at the idea of going to the candy shop. "Sure. No problem," she said, nodding. "Although not too much candy for Nigel. He's still pretty little, but I don't think a lick of an acid pop will hurt him too much," she added with a wink.
She nearly winced as the young boy started to pull on his obviously dirty socks, but with a flick of her wand, they were clean before he'd even touched his feet to them. After he'd finally pulled them on, she took Liam's hand and started to lead him back to Miles' study.
"Something very important," she said. "I have to go and see Anthony today, and we thought it best to tell you why before we left."
