Fable of the Faulty Faucet
Mistie sighed as she turned the corner. And then she sighed again as she head down yet another corridor. She sighed once again, looking grumpy as she possibly could as she tried to find the nearest lavatory without the help of anyone because she was feeling miserable. If there had to be one thing she was iffy about it would be her cleanliness. Mistie hated being dirty, especially when it came to her clothes. She liked her things being as spotless as possible, which is why she grew up nimble to avoid messes. But today someone in Potions accidentally spilled some harmless concoction on her robes. She accepted the apology but she was very annoyed with the state of her robes so wouldn't stop making a fuss until the professor let her go to the bathroom.
She was just now walking in, after about three years and day of searching for one. The castle was cool until you started looking for something important. But now that she had found it the grumpiness left Mistie, relieved that she could finally get cleaned up.
And now that she wasn't worrying as much, curiosity began to settle in the young Gryffindor. The castle was just so old and seeing it in all it's ancient glory was beyond interesting. It was empty except for two closed stall doors and the sound of someone urinating loudly. Mistie cleared her throat loudly and smirked when the peeing stopped abruptly. Then she walked over to a nearby blurred window that was cracked open slightly and looked out. A cool breeze brushed against her cheek as she studied the grounds.
Mistie went over to one of the many sinks in the middle of the room and began washing her hands. She got some soap and scrubbed them until they were clean. Then she took off her robes and wet the dirty spots on them, starting to scrub at them. She noticed some people wander in and out but didn't pay too much attention, focusing on looking impeccable. The spots were fading but very slowly. Mistie pursed her lips, hoping that the professor wouldn't make too much of a fuss when she came back late.
