The Winner gets the Slime PV Errand Closed

@Everly Charlton & @Quinn Healy

Starlee probably should have thought that bringing flobberworm's into the trophy room wasn't the brightest of ideas, but she was too preoccupied with finding a nice, safe and secluded space where they could be alone. She didn't want to run into any of her enemies, that was for sure. Plus... she hadn't actually spent much time in the room, only passing by on the way to classes, so introducing their little worms to some Hogwarts culture sounded like fun. Even if that isn't exactly how things played out in the end.

The giant kneeled down, not showing any sort of anger at the two for the mishap. Starlee appreciated this, as even though this may have been an attempted cover-up, it really was more along the accidental side of things.

Starlee couldn't help but try not to giggle when the boy suggested the lunacy of their plans. Everly attempted to explain, but nothing more came out. "Well..." she began, in a similar tone as Everly. "I just wanted a quiet place... away from everyone..." she trailed off, realizing that there just wasn't a great explanation as to why they ended up here.

She nodded demurely, but with a sense of determination, when he said they would be helping with clean up. It was her mess, and she was going to make it right. The giant stood up, and Starlee watched as he quickly put out the fire and the three of them looked at the steaming trophy in the fireplace. The mucus had now dried, hardened onto the trophy.

Everly thanked the giant for the help, and Starlee nodded and added a "Yea... Thanks!" alongside it. Cradling her flobberworm in her arms, she walked up to the trophy, blew on it a few times as one would do to a hot soup, and then grabbed a handle. It was a little hot still, but nothing that she couldn't hold. She set it on a nearby table and began trying to pick the now hardened mucus off... which... miraculously, it seemed that it peeled off quickly and in fairly large chunks, almost like some sort of hard putty.

"Would you grab a cleaning rag Everly? We can give this trophy a good polish and be on our way! There must be a storage closet in here for cleaning... and perhaps Mister Eliseo has finished building his shelter?" Starlee said as she continued to pull off more chunks of the hardened mucus, eventually finally ridding it of the growth.

Everly was caught red-handed.

Well, not necessarily caught. She had yet to convince her mind that. Everly would admit to the realization that the trophy room wasn't the best place to bring flobberworms in the first place, but Everly would go to any means to defend her case. She would not get her first detention of the school year, and certainly not get detention thanks to flobberworms of all the reasons to get detention. She would not.

Thankfully, though, the probability of detention seemed to be farther than Everly had thought. The giant was kinder towards Everly and Starlee's little chaotic mission than Everly would have been to herself, and she was appreciative of his kind action. Starlee took the lead, forcing out an explanation for their act of stupidity. Everly nodded eagerly. The truth was there was not really a good explanation for this, but she hoped that it wouldn't backfire too much in her face. Everly lowered her head in shame, knowing that the two of them would still have to clean up this mess, since they had caused it. She took one last look at the wreck of slime and destroyed things everywhere, still wondering, why did I do this again?

Everly set her flobberworm carefully down on a table, then on second thought, lifted it up again. She wouldn't risk creating a bigger mess for herself to have to clean up. "Sure, Starlee!" Everly said, reaching over to grab two rags. She handed one to Starlee, and started rubbing the surface vigorously with the other. When the two girls finally managed to clean up their mess, Everly would thank the giant and wave goodbye to the Slytherin as she left.

Everly quickly ran off to grab the rags so they could finally clean off the trophy, to hopefully make as if nothing had ever happened. "Thanks!" she responded brightly as Everly handed her the rag.

She peeled the last chunk of mucus off the trophy, and the two girls got to work polishing it down so that it would shine 'like the top of the Chrysler building!' She had heard that saying somewhere, and now seemed like the perfect situation for it, even if she had no idea that it was some building in America.

After a final swooping motion, Starlee felt assured that the trophy was polished back to its original state, and heck, probably even shinier than it was before! She carefully picked it up and placed it back into its original spot on the shelves. "There!" she said happily. "Good as new! In fact, I think its better than new!" she gave a wink to Everly and the giant and continued in a 'matter of fact' manner, "I think it even shines brighter than the Chrysler Building!" She nodded at the end, sure the two would agree.

And with that, Everly raced off, saying a short goodbye. Starlee did the same, saying to the giant, "Well, erm, thank you for your help! Mister Prefect... Sir!" Since she hadn't gotten the giant's name, she struggled to be as polite as her parents had taught her to be, hoping it wasn't too much. She waved, quickly scooped up her flobberworm, and ran back out to the grounds, hoping that Mister Eliseo would be ready to receive the flobberworms back.
