Aftermath Semi-PV Finished

Sereia's Calming Presence is in effect

While Koko explained the siutation, Sereia simply stood and stared as she tried to understand the situation.

Several things were going on. One: Slytherin was flooding. Okay, that was... bound to happen someday, although Sereia wasn't exactly trained to deal with such a situation. Two: someone broke a toilet. How on earth does one break a toilet? Sereia was already imagining someone fiddling with the flush or breaking a pipe, but why? Anyways, the broken toilet was likely the cause of the flooding which, okay, great. It could've been so, so much worse (read: a broken window). Three: a weird smell, not the usual toilet smell, was coming from the toilets.

Sereia sincerely hoped no one was doing any shady business in that toilet.

With a deep breath, she nodded. She took her wand from her robe and waved it at her book, whispering the incantation, and watching it float to her chair at the staff's table as she spoke. "That would be good. And yes, get your shoes. It's safer for your feet, especially if we're going to be walking in water." Sereia was already regretting wearing her nice ballet flats. But in her defense, she didn't think she would be dealing with a flooded common room this late at night.

Sereia will follow after Koko once she is ready.

Responsibility left Koko's stomach churning and goosebumps rising on her bare arms. If she weren't a prefect, or older, she would have simply gotten to high ground and waited the flooding out. As it was, she stared up at Professor Clairmont with only the fear that a child who had narrowly avoided being caught having done something moderately wrong could feel. Her arms alternated between being crossed over her chest in a last-ditch effort to stay warm and being down, hands clasped together, her knuckles whitened.

Professor Clairmont didn't seem to suspect anything, anyway. They hadn't been having a party in the dungeons, no, of course not. And the water, that had nothing to do with the party that absolutely had not occurred.

Maybe if she stopped thinking about the not-party, this would be easier.

She smiled warmly at the Divination professor when she noted she should get her shoes, and quickly, Koko strode back into the great hall, muttering a weary, 'Aer Calidus,' before slipping her feet into her now-less-moist shoes. She was pleased to have gained two inches in height when she returned to Professor Clairmont, slightly less cold than she had been before.

'Right. Well, onwards, I suppose.' Koko gestured towards the damp corridors that beckoned depressingly. 'I do hope the water's receded a bit. I don't want to step in puddles again.'

She would attempt to maintain light small talk as she led Professor Clairmont down the corridors and to the Slytherin dorms.
