"Are you okay?" I asked.
She looked up. "I dropped my keys down the sewer grate," she said, shaking her head. "I really can't do anything right today. I should never have left the house this morning."
She fumbled with the grate for a minute, trying to pull it up, but it didn't budge.
"I'll get them for you," my dad said, already starting a spell to retrieve them.
"No, no, I can do it," Sadie said and whipped out her wand again.
"Maybe you shouldn't," Lucy said.
I looked quickly around to make sure no human tourists were around. This was exactly the type of thing they weren't supposed to see. All forms of magic were off limits to humans, especially magic involving wands, which most witches and wizards didn't need. Unless, of course, they had a bad cold.
"What's the spell?" she muttered, scratching her head. "Hovero-keys-um-ini-ah-ah-ah-choo!" she shouted. Nothing happened. Her keys remained stuck beneath the sewer grate. She sighed and turned to my father just as a crack of thunder sounded in the sky. We all looked up and saw a massive gray cloud begin to form.
"Uh oh," my dad said and quickly uttered his own incantation. Sadie's keys jumped out of the sewer and into his hands. He handed them to her. "Better wash them off when you get home." He helped her up and hurried toward a taxi, which only the tourists ever used. "I'll be back soon as I can," he called over his shoulder to us, opening the door to the cab for her.
"Let's get inside before we get soaked," Eleanor said as the rain started. It poured out of the clouds like someone had just turned on a showerhead directly over us. I sniffed the air, it smelled... strange. Like boiled cabbage.
"What is that?" Lucy asked, wrinkling her nose.
"I don't know."
"Come on," Trixie said, tugging at my sleeve. I followed behind her, my eyes never leaving the sky. There was only one rain cloud in it, and it was right over our bakery. Everything else was dry. The rest of the sky was blue.
"That's weird," I muttered and pulled open the door.
