WC 410/400	Color Legend - Mylo | Thoughts

Cleaning, there seemed to be a lot of it recently. Not that Mylo minded in the slightest as they were used to it at home, having had their own chores to do around the house and it often gave them the time to just clear their head and just not think about anything.

This time it was the bathrooms of Hogwarts, and as help had been asked of the students of the school Mylo wasn't one to turn away. And although they had quite a bit of homework to get through they had decided to go and help, however little it may be and at least get one sink nice and clean for the next person who'd come to use it.

Having walked over to the bathrooms they saw nurse Sabo standing there, offering cleaning supplies to the few students who had come to help, and explaining what she wanted doing. Mylo had thought along their walk over there that for this task they would use magic, they didn't often do so as Mylo thought that by using magic for mundane tasks such as cleaning or other things that they would become to dependent on it, and that was something they didn't want to do. But with the amount of school work they had to do they had made an executive decision that this once magic would be the better option.

So walking into the bathroom they greeted the nurse, and went to find the dirtiest part of the room. Thinking that if they cleaned it with magic then students who didn't know the cleaning spell yet wouldn't have to do it with their hands.

Having found a part that didn't look entirely disgusting but was arguably the worst part of the room Mylo levelled their wand at it and said; "Scourgify". Watching as the surfaces started to turn clean again and even sparkle if you looked at it from the right angle. Looking around the area they had cleaned Mylo made sure that no spots had been missed and that it was actually all clean and that they wouldn't have to go over it a second time.

Happy with the results Mylo decided that it was good for today and that the homework they had waiting for them couldn't really be put off for much longer. So saying goodbye to Nurse Sabo he made their way back to the Ravenclaw homeroom, hoping that it would be calm as usual.

Alliasta took off her Gryffindor robes and was left in just a white shirt and skirt, and she loosened her red tie a little more and then started walking out of the Gryffindor common room.

There was another cleaning errand today. And Alliasta joined immediately. Chocolate frogs and a house score were definitely enough to tempt the girl. This wasn't entertainment. So, they were going to clean the toilets this time, but Alliasta was not a girl who was afraid of getting her hands dirty. And she didn't worry much about contamination. Cleaning was relaxing.

Alliasta smiled. She skipped and walked towards the toilets. She could hear noises from inside, but it wasn't very crowded, but there were a few students. Alliasta walked in immediately. And saw the nurse inside. She smiled at her kindly and started moving forward, looking at the cleaning supplies. Everyone was trying to do their best. It was nice to have people help with something like this. And other students might have been attracted by the Chocolate Frog and the house score... Or some were just bored.

What part of the toilet should you clean? Alliasta thought to herself. She looked around. Then she thought of cleaning the doors. She immediately grabbed some swab and then approached one of the doors. After all, people had to touch the doors and their handles, and those places were not really hygienic.

She looked at the door handles and then saw that it was actually dirty up close and she immediately took the wet swab in her hand and started rubbing it. It was so stained that it really tired her arms. But Alliasta continued. Maybe it would have made more sense to use magic, but still, Alliasta had extra energy to get rid of today anyway. And that cleanliness could help.

Afterwards, she sighed and moved on to the other doors, first she would wipe the door handles and then the door itself and finally her job would be done. But these things were really difficult. Alliasta kept going and was really trying. Cleanliness was nice. So it was calming. And it was something Alliasta could devote a lot of her energy to. Oh and the chocolate frog reward would definitely be really good.

After finally finishing slowly, Alliasta sighed. The job was over, but she were over too. She sighed and then left where she had bought the cleaning supplies and left. Before leaving, she saw herself in the mirror, looking really tired and funny. She chuckled at herself and then left.

Ability: Lovely Creature is in effect.
Calming Presence is in effect.

─────Accalia was practically vibrating with energy.
Sure, it was fair to say it was rare that she wasn't in high spirits or had springs in her legs, but today in particular she was absolutely thrumming with it, the excitement having her pores feeling as though charged full of electricity.
Her eyes set forward on her goal, for today it was her first time getting to conduct an errand for the school and as far as she was concerned, it was a perfect task, no, better yet a perfect challenge!

Well, as perfect as cleaning a latrine could be anyway.
Sure, most students might balk or grumble at such a mundane duty, but for her, it was an opportunity.
She'd be able to throw her whole body into the work and really get down and physical with the washrooms, to use her body, strength and energy instead of just her mind for once, not that she minded her classes, her pretty stellar grades could attest to that, but in her mind, nothing beat a good physical routine and the repetition coupled with the satisfaction of doing a good job, having sparkling clean bathrooms she could brag she'd scrubbed to a literal sparkle were reward enough, she wasn't even really in it for the chocolate frogs that had been promised, seeing them as just a nice extra to the task.

And so it was that she had dressed down into her workout gear, a tank top and tracks the color of her house, her vibrant red, fiery locks tied up in a ponytail, that she attended the second floor bathroom as instructed by the school nurse.

Greeting Miss Sabo with an offered handshake, Accalia beamed her bright signature smile towards her and gladly took one of the mops and buckets, as well as the rags, and any other supplies still lingering around, while making sure that she was leaving enough for other students who may still be coming, though she did note that she was a little late to the party, as usual for Accalia as she was always tardy but always tried her best.

"Thank you ma'am, I promise I will have this whole school looking schmick and span! In fact it'll be so clean you can see your reflection anywhere you look!" Accalia promised, she meant it too, though it seemed this task was only to clean the one bathroom, Accalia had set her sights on a challenge, the challenge being to clean absolutely every bathroom in the school, by hand, before the end of international toilet day!

'After all' she thought 'I could always go wash off if there's a particularly bad mess, I mean I will be around the bathrooms anyway right? A quick rinse and then right back into cleaning! 'sides not like I haven't helped with nappies or mucking out animals before, and even if I don't manage it by the 19th, I could always train for next year, or the year after! Set my mind on cleaning all the bathrooms in a single week just as I have on running the lake!' she egged herself on, stepping into the first toilet cubicle that did not have another student already working on it or clearly have worked on it.

Slapping a protective mask over her face and goggles over her eyes to protect from any accidental inhalation of germs or chemicals, she wasn't afraid of grime by any means but saw no need to inhale it, she dove headfirst into her task.
Setting her bucket and mop to the side, she grabbed her scouring brush and a bottle of bleach and got to work on the first toilet cubicle.
Carefully, she poured the bleach into the porcelain, scrubbing it just gently enough to get it into the deep germs, then letting it settle as she moved on to the next cubicle and repeated the process, then the next.

After covering a few toilets with bleach, she returned to the first and scrubbed the bleach clean from inside the bowl, her strokes almost rhythmic, her arms flexing slightly as she worked.
She scrubbed each surface until it shone, splashing toilet water over the settled bleach to ensure it was all washed down.
Again she repeated this step, flushing each bowl after the initial internal bowl scrub, returning back to the first toilet she then put as much of her elbow grease as she could to polishing the inside, leaving it sparkling clean, grabbing a rag and some spray she set to cleaning the seat, then the rim, then outside the toilet, leaving it all looking near new, standing and wiping her brow she then set to mopping the floor of the first toilet, repeating her steps for the other two.
The repetition was comforting to her, and as she continued she developed a steady rhythm, driving her further, humming softly to herself.

Seeing as this was a group errand, she didn't wish to take all the chance to clean toilets away from other students that may wish to attend, so moving from the toilets to the sinks, Accalia continued her meticulous approach, polishing the porcelain, scrubbing the taps until they sparkled, and giving the mirrors a thorough wipe until they practically shone, her reflection caught her eye for a second, and she grinned at herself. “Just one room down,” she murmured, her voice muffled by the mask "At least fifty more to go!".

Finally satisfied with her work, and knowing that if she let herself she'd try and tackle this whole room by herself, to the robbing of other students Accalia decided to move on, returning to Nurse Sabo with barely even a sweat upon her brow Accalia looked up at her with big, almost begging eyes.

"May I keep these supplies for a bit? I want to see if I can get all the other bathrooms done!" she queried hoping for nurse Sabo's approval.

Sere was currently seen wearing a t-shirt and training along with her running shoes. After her routine exercise, which she always did early on Sunday, the Gryffindor girl casually approached the Bulletin Board and read the new announcements there. That's where she found information about the errand held by Nurse Sabo, and the time is exactly today. Sere immediately climbed up the stairs to the second floor and stepped closer to the Abandoned Toilets.

Another cleaning errand, the second time during this semester. Sere didn't expect that she would reach the point where she has to clean the Abandoned Toilets. Is it because the Abandoned Toilets are... abandoned... like how it is called? That's why nobody wants to clean it?

"Ah, I didn't bring my wand." Sere hissed. Who would have thought that she would changed her way to the second floor instead of heading straight to her dorm after exercising at the Great Lake. "Right, apparently a muggle has to do it in the muggle way." Standing in front of the Abandoned Toilets, Sere untied her hair and retied it to make it neater before stepped in. She gave a small nod to Nurse Sabo that stood near the entrance.

The girl could see several students have started cleaning. Some were chatting and others were focused on their respective activities. Sere looked around. This is her first time coming inside. The last time she approached the Abandoned Toilets are when she learned how to use The Opening Charm, Aberto, more than a year ago at the beginning of the semester, together with the professor and her classmates.

"Okay, let's make this simple," Sere said it to herself. She immediately knew her job. Her hands moved to take the cleaning fluid and brush, then approached the sinks that looked dull and some rust was visible on the taps.

Sere did it the muggle way, as she had said before. She wet the sink with water and poured the cleaning fluid, then did the same thing to several other sinks. She let the liquid sit for a while and her gaze once again wandered in all directions. "There's a snacks and candies stand over there!" Sere raised both of her eyebrows, "Cool." A new and fun innovation from Nurse Sabo. She had never found this kind of treat on other errands before. Dusana Sabo is indeed pretty creative. Thinking about it, I could remember clearly about that casserole dish turned into a swimming pool in the Great Hall.

Sere continued her activities, brushing the entire sink, not forgetting to brush the tap, full of energy. "Ugh, this is like doubling my exercise." The sweat that had started to dry, again wet her temples. She didn't know for how long exactly she was busy with the brush, foam, and the sink.

"Done. At least the result is satisfying." Sere turned the tap on to let the foam flow with water, removing it until the clean-sparkles showed. The girl nodded in satisfaction, washing the brush that was still foamy until it clean, then washing her hands as the last step before returning the cleaning supplies back to its place.

Before leaving, Sere took her time to stop for a moment in front of the snacks and candies stand, taking two lemon sherbets: one that she ate immediately and the other one that she put in to her pocket. "You've done a great job today." Sere walked out of the Abandoned Toilets with a small jump, starting her day with such a good mood.

𝒥ust the day before, Brookline had received a short and formal letter from her father. It destroyed her that her father could be so cruel and formal about such things to his own daughter.

And here she was cleaning a toilet. Never saw that coning. But she loved cleaning, so was that such a surprise?

When Brookline ate breakfast, all she ate was a couple rolls, and a strip of bacon. She had seen on the bulletin board that @Dusana Sabo, the nurse wanted the Abandoned Toilets to be sparkly clean. Brookline quickly signed up, forgetting the feeling from yesterday.

But soon, as she arrived at the Abandoned Toilets, on the second floor, Brookline was haunted with the memory from yesterday. But she realized it was just a feeling that’ll never go away. But, still shaking it away, she nodded at Nurse Sabo, then gave the Hogwarts’ nurse a small smile. Then looking around the room, she asked herself what to do. Noticing a stall that no-one had claimed yet, and studied its grimy toilet seat, and its plain Jane dirty walls, she cringed, glancing at it to see what supplies she needed or don’t need just yet, but will much later.

Brookline, soon enough grabbed a rag and a little bottle of cleaning gel and other liquids, and practically ran to a idle stall. She started scrubbing, the porcelain around the toilet, then the bowl, then the actual seat of the toilet, the over again, getting the spots she missed. Looking pretty good, she cried, “Scourgify!” Just for good measure. Once that was sparkly clean, Brookline decided to clean the handle to flush the toilet as well. Cleaning always calmed the Welsh Ravenclaw down, and down til her nervousness was gone; or in this case: her anger.

Humming a soft tune as she worked, Brookline scrubbed, and washed, and swished the toilet, then plainly moved on to the stall’s dirty floors and walls. When was this last cleaned? This is absolutely disgusting. She thought but kept scrubbing, because plainly and simply Brookline absolutely loved cleaning. She’ll clean all day if she wanted to, she’ll scrub all day if she needed to. This little Welsh Ravenclaw just loved cleaning.

Soon enough the once-dirty floor was clean, and Brookline used a spray bottle and wet the dirty walls in stalls. Rubbing a ray along the wall, the dirt amounts disappeared, and piled all on the rag. Instead of a clean white rag it turned into a dirty black rag. Dirt and grime was still piled at the top of the walls. She wondered how she would be up there clean it.

Oh! The toilet! I can stand on it. I'll have to clean it more afterwards, but oh well! Brookline thought, and put her right foot on the toilet seat, then her left foot. Then she started cleaning the upper walls. Once they were sparkly clean, she carefully stepped down, making sure she didn’t fall into the bowl. Then she cleaned the toilet seat again, scrubbing it real hard from her two footprints.

Aly Salinger had never seen a restroom so packed... and full of children, no less. The first- and second-years had swarmed the abandoned toilets with boundless vigor, getting on their hands and knees and doing manual labor more excitedly than half of them attacked their homework. Aly herself was only here for the chocolate. With most of her pocket money going towards potions ingredients, interview bribery, N.E.W.T. supplies, secret pocketknives, and the like lately, she hadn't had much of a chance to stock up on sweets. Plus, her cleaning spells had always been a weak spot - blame that on having grown up with a house-elf - and the Ravenclaw certainly needed the practice.

Ignoring the buckets, mops, soapy water, and heaps of youths surging around them, Aly checked in with the nurse before casting her green gaze around the rest of the room. Her gaze alit upon more sugar readily available - much needed, after this morning's advanced Charms class - and she swanned by it all, snatching a lolly from the bench with practiced ease as she passed. The sweet popped into her mouth, Aly pulled her wand from the front pocket of her jeans - a Muggle invention, but one she'd readily accepted as a fashion do over the last year and change - and pushed her way into one of the empty stalls.

"Thank Merlin they didn't have us do this years ago," she muttered to herself around the lolly, which clacked against her teeth, as Aly debated internally which spells to use. The Scouring Charm, the Siphoning Spell, the Washing Up Charm... ugh, and this bathroom could seriously use a Bedazzling Hex or two, too. But whilst the younger kiddos could handle the actual cleaning of things, there were far too many things that needed fixing, and that couldn't be done by just ten fingers.

And so, she addressed a few of the more dribbling pipes: "Reparo... Reparo..." To a particularly nasty one, first "Arresto Momentum!" to slow the flow of truly horribly dirty water from its cracked surface before then a much easier "Reparo." Eventually satisfied that she had done enough to warrant the chocolately crown, Aly headed for the door, feeling quite proud of herself. That she could experience pride for... fixing toilets... was certainly new, but it was the little things, nowadays, that one needed to focus on. And if fixing a couple pipes could count as today's little thing, well, then that was enough for Aly.
