No Night-time Strolls
Mateo waited for the young girl to arrive for her detention, after catching her in the Library after curfew. He couldn't say he wasn't sympathetic, he had definitely found himself in a fair few scrapes when he was a student, but that was in the past now. To ensure the student followed through with his instructions to return, or in the case she'd forgotten, he'd also sent an owl to her at breakfast that morning.
It had taken him a little time to think of a suitable punishment for the young student's detention, but he'd finally decided on something. So, when the girl would arrive, he'd lead her over to the tables she had been studying at the previous night, with the necessary supplies in hand.Miss Smith,
You are caught in the Library after curfew last night. Please go to the Library after your breakfast to complete your detention.
Mr Sáez, Hogwarts' Librarian
"Good morning Miss Smith. As you know, you are here to serve your detention. And, as you can see, there are a few ink stains on these desks, from the clumsier students, and also from students similar to yourself, who have been studying in the dark and have spilt their ink by accident. So, I would like you to clean the ink from these tables, and without magic if you please. And I would advise you don't attempt to disobey me, if you are thinking of doing so."
At this point, Mateo would place a metal bucket filled with warm water and a sponge onto the desk. "I believe these supplies should suffice. If you have any issues, please feel free to let me know. I'll be by my desk."
With another friendly smile, he'd leave the girl to it.WC: 289| Interaction: @Pandora SmithDetention:

No Night-time Strolls
While he was having breakfast, he saw an owl coming. It occurred to him that he had been sentenced yesterday. After breakfast she quickly went to the dormitory and put some lettuce on her bunny. She quickly left the dormitories and headed for the stairs of the ground floor.
Breathless, she entered the library. She could see the librarian waiting for him. He had a bucket in his hand. She spoke as she followed the librarian.
"Don't worry, sir, I will not disobey. I'm a little late so I put some food for my pet for breakfast."
She watched his put the bucket down. Okay, I can do it, she thought. She thought at least I didn't score points from my house. She pulled up the sleeves of her dressing gown so they wouldn't get wet. She took the sponge from the metal bucket and squeezed the warm water from it. It had to start somewhere.
She looked at the table and began to clean any ink smudges she could clean. Some ink stains were so hard to come out as they dried so she had to rub them. Her hands hurt so bad when she cleaned a table.
She moved to the next table. She put the sponge in the warm water. Her robes were wet. After she sighed, he squeezed the water out of the sponge again. Taking a deep breath, he tried to clean the table but tried to remove a very hard ink. But she failed, and as a result, she was slumped on the table. Her hair was messed up.
She didn't know how long she had been here. But she knew an hour had passed. When she cleaned the table, she was covered in blood and sweat. She thought okay a few tables left.
...
When she came to the last table, she started to clean the table with her last strength. It's almost over, Pandora said to herself. There were lots of ink stains on the table, but Pandora wasn't thinking of stopping until she was finished.
When the cleaning was done on the last table, it was finished. Her hair was messy, her robe was wet, she was sweaty all over, her face was red, his hands were aching. Went to the librarian.
"I'm done, sir. If you let me go to my dormitory."
