Santario had informed the house-elves the evening prior not to bother cleaning the toilets as, after breakfast, she had two volunteers to give them a well-deserved break. The only thing that she had asked of them was to supply two buckets full of soapy water, scrub brushes, and toothbrushes. While the toothbrushes might have earned her an odd look when Santario approached the bathrooms after breakfast, it seemed the house-elves had not questioned it enough not to provide what she had asked for.Detention Thread Instructions:
- This is an official IC detention thread.
- You must post a minimum of 600 words to complete this detention.
- Words can be posted in one go or as three separate posts of 200 words each.
- You do not have to wait for me to respond in order to post.
- General RPG rules apply, all words must be your own and any quoted words do not count.
- Until you have completed the detention, you cannot start any new threads on the site.
-You can talk to Santario if you want but I will not be able to post a response until I get back on the 1st of September. She will be there monitoring your work and will give your wands back when you finish.
Santario dropped the larger scrub brushes into the buckets so they could not be seen without reaching into the bucket before setting one in front of a different bathroom door. A toothbrush would be laid down beside the bucket. This is where she would wait until for Aurora and Violet, and once they did show up, as their chaperones would be contacted, if they did not, she would hold out her hand. “Wands. You will clean these bathrooms until they are done. I will allow you to break for lunch, but we will be back here until you are finished if you have not before then. You will only get your wands back once the bathrooms are clean and not before.”
While she thought it would be hilarious if they never noticed a larger scrub brush available, she would tell them about it if they had not seen it by lunchtime as Santario did not fancy standing around there all day either. Once the girls got started, Santario would sit down, pull a book out of her bag, and start reading it while she waited.

Muggle detention was not a stranger to Aurora. Back in the muggle school, she was quite a fighter and a problem both to her peers and teachers. Oddly enough, the girl was somewhat excited to do whatever the prefect asked her to do. Will it be cleaning the dragon’s den? Or harvesting enchanted chocolates? Considering this will be her first ever magical detention, nervous but happy were the only things she felt as she went surfing to the dream world. Truth to be told, it was not like anything she had imagined inside her fluffy filled rainbow and clouds brain. Reality often is disappointing, especially if you set your hopes too high. To be fair, Santario had mentioned about how the detention will be, and yet, Aurora was still dreaming of something else. Obviously not going to happen. Scrubbing the toilets is more than fine. Literally getting down and dirty was not something the Ravenclaw was reluctant to do. It was the fact that she had to do it with none other than Violet Carrington, her on and off best friend slash enemy. With a smirk, she turned to face the furious snake. “Disgusted, Lady Karenton, the first of Hell?” Pathetic. The pure blood queen smooth skin will be tainted by those harsh chemicals inside the soap. “Be mad all you want! The toilets won’t be clean by themselves with your glare.” Aurora would walk past her to grab the toothbrush and start working like her life depended on it. “Violet, Toilet, even your name rhymes.”

@Aurora Ranvier | @Santario Martin ReducioWhen firing her spell at Ranvier, Violet hadn't thought right and the concecuences came...the worst one Violet would have thought. Detention. Yes, she had been warned, but she wanted to help the poor Swedish boy's horribly transfigurated hair by revenging Aurora. The impulse of helping Felix had made her risk having detention, which was the last thing she wanted. When she was called by the Slytherin prefect to realise her detention, Violet could only follow the older girl with her head down, glaring at Aurora as she made her way to the toilets she was going to clean alongside her 'friend'.
Just the though of cleaning toilets was absolutely disgusting, and when she arrived at the place was not the first time she gagged. The thought that she could not perform a simple scourgify on them made her want to run away into hiding for the rest of life. One more glare towards Aurora's direction made it clear that Violet considered all of this the Ravenclaw's fault. Violet hesitantly gave her wand to Santario. Violet felt like her wand was a part of her and giving it to somebody she did not trust was not a okay thing to do. But when Violet once more saw Santario's prefect badge, she sighed and gived in. Violet definitely did not want another detention.
“Disgusted, Lady Karenton, the first of Hell?” ''Shut the hell up Ranvier, I wish your surname was more complicated so that I could give you your own ugly nicknames.'' Violet glared, as she took the sponge and dipped it in soap. “Be mad all you want! The toilets won’t be clean by themselves with your glare.” ''Yeah, of course not...'' Violet mumbled, staring at the floor as Aurora gave her another horrible nickname. Another glare shot Aurora's way as Violet kept scrubbing the floor.
A few minutes had passed, and work in the bathroom still had to be completed. Violet looked at Aurora from time to time. Her thoughts were always how did they become enemies? Yes, Violet considered the Ravenclaw her friend, especially after taking care of her adorable silver siberian a few days before. But, they were always fighting for absolutely no reason. Like, a few months before, they fought just because Violet had Aurora's muggle best friends name as her middle name. This resulted in Aurora digging Violet a grave and Violet shooting spells at Aurora for her own safety. But now that Violet tought about it, Aurora was a pretty cool person. She was constantly changing hair colour, her personality was a bit too much, and the total opposite of Violet but very extroverted, and Violet, when they weren't in their fights, had to admit that she liked her. Thinking that this was the perfect time to maybe bond, Violet extended her hand towards the Ravenclaw. ''Why are we also mad at each other...''480

One of her favorite things about herself is always her last name. A good decision it was, to not change it to the muggle name of Alloway. Not to mention, it was the only thing she had from her father besides his knitted Hufflepuff scarf. And to hear the fact the Slytherin secretly adored the name as well was such a win for Aurora. “I know my last name is cool, you can’t make a pun out of it.” Still not realising the presence of the bigger brush inside the bucket, the toothbrush in her hand desperately tried to get rid of the stubborn stain on the bathroom tiles. “Oh, I got one! Aurora Punvier Ranvier-y fast!” A smug look was all over her face, as if she just said something utterly clever. In all honesty, the purple oompa loompa was not that aggravating to have around. If she knew when to put that mouth in time out, the rating five out of ten would be given willingly.
Everyone in the entire universe needs to stop asking the girl for a reason why she did such things. First, it will confuse her and that will surely lead to another banter or scream or tears. Secondly, her reasons will sound irrational to those who have a perfectly functioning brain, hence, it will not give anyone closure. “You stole my best friend’s name! I think?” Even herself wasn’t sure about the credibility of the answer that came out of her loud mouth. Hopefully, in the future, the young bird will fly high to the sky and find her rational brain that was hidden somewhere in the clouds. As a wise man said, put your wishes as high as you can. But if it was too high, you won’t be able to reach it, and that was what happened in Aurora’s scenario. The next thing that the frenemy did made Aurora take a step back in surprise in her crouching position. Was this a trick? Violet being nice? Someone, please call St. Mungo’s. “You know what? I will take your hand, and wreck your plans, but I am not your man as I already set my eyes on someone.” She finally said it. If Violet has a good pair of ears, it will be nearly impossible to not catch that phrase.
Flustered. At least Aurora did not mention the boy’s name, notyet, at least. Her eyes focused back on the floor, both hands gripped tightly on the poor toothbrush and brushed the dirt out of the tile ever so aggressively as if it was one of her enemies. Yes, if she could, she would do a grand gesture towards Felix Kolbeck, the one of the many reasons she was in detention right now. “I- I mean, I am not, and I do not like him, obviously, Why would I?” As much as her face muscle wanted to block the urge to smile, the force was too much to handle and she failed, miserably. And instead of just locking her mouth and throwing away the key, secrets splashed out like when one pack of mentos was being thrown inside a bottle of a coke. “I kissed him on the cheek because I wanted to make sure if this is a real feeling or just inside of my head, and now I cannot stop thinking about him. But I do not like him though, I cannot stand anywhere near him.” Sure you can’t, Aurora. Deny it all you want, it will just get even stronger.
A little silence filled the toilets. The sound of the bristle of the toothbrush against the floor was the only music that echoed through the cold wall. It was an unwanted feeling, having a crush on someone in the least safest place ever existed was hard. Nothing lasts forever, not even people. And that was the hard consequence she needed to face. “B-but I am so scared, what if I do? I mean, I liked lots of people here, not my fault people are gorgeous, but if they are hurt, of course I am sad, but I don’t really care like really care that much, you know?” It was almost embarrassing to put a little bit of the baggage on her shoulder onto Violet’s. As far as she knew, the snake would expose her anytime soon, but she was the only person that was present and knew about the danger in the wizarding world. She will understand, right? “He vomited slugs and I felt so bad, what if he choked on a slug and then the slug devoured him from the inside like they did in my dream? And he hates me now!”
This situation was not something that Aurora could talk about with Naomi. They were two worlds apart. Worries after worries Naomi would think the girl was bluffing or insane took away her bravery to let out her voice. Sure her mother would listen, but the chances of her to be put into a muggle school instead was higher than the chances of the Gryffindor boy liking her back. Thus, her wish to let the darkness stay away from him would be destroyed. “Hogwarts is a revolting place, it is dangerous. What if he is bitten by, I don’t know, any monsters and then I couldn’t be there to help because to be really honest, he wasn’t the best at spell casting, worse than me, and what if I lose him? I-“ If Violet would notice, tremors took control over her hands. No longer she could hold the heartbreak she tried so hard to conceal all this time. Tears escaped her eyes, followed by a shaky breath. “I just couldn’t”
The toothbrush fell from her grip as she frantically wiped away the evidence of sadness, but it came down anyway. Her entire face was hidden underneath her hands, she choked on her sobs, “I-I lost someone before, and it hurts so bad and I know it was like a decade ago, and I look fine, but I am not. And I- I hate that I couldn’t do anything, and he’s gone, and sometimes I feel like his face is starting to fade away from my memory and I am scared. What if-“ There will be the first time of everything. And this exact moment inside a dirty toilet was her first time talking about her grief of the loss of her father to a living being. Finally letting go of what was left unsaid. Her vision was blurry, apparently, so was her mind. “-What if it will be the same case with Nicholas?” A hot tea has been spilled. She dropped his name, it was loud and clear, hard to ignore, of course. “You did not just hear me saying his name. Nope, you are hallucinating, do not talk to me.” Quickly took her toothbrush and walked to the farthest corner, away from Violet, then brushed her teeth with it. An error, indeed. Her brain was broken.

@Aurora Ranvier | @Santario MartinViolet would have indeed prefered to be born with a surname that couldn't be turned into a pun. However, when Aurora suggested a pun for her own name, Violet thought it didn't make any sense. ''Uh, Aurora what? I don't get it.'' Violet rolled her eyes, turning back into the task at hand. She wanted to finish cleaning the filthy bathroom as soon as possible, so that she could leave to the Kelpie cabin at once. Not being able to fully attend the Quidditch game was already enough, she just wanted to read and get some rest to be able to hear who the hell had won the game.
“You stole my best friend’s name! I think?” her glaring intensifying, Violet looke at Aurora and wanted to slap her pretty little face with the sponge. ''Well I didn't steal it, my mother stole it. You know, Karma.'' Violet said, lying about her mothers name as she had done the previous school year. To be honest, Violet was surprised to know that Aurora didn't know what Karma was. But good for her anyways. When Violet was starting to feel more emotional and took Aurora's hand, she wasn't prepared to hear that Aurora was, uh, setting her eyes on someone. Trying to ignore the first part of the ravenclaw's poem, she looked at Aurora, her eyes wide, as she stopped cleaning for a second. ''You like someone? W-who is it?'' curious, Violet paid close attention to her frenemy, ocasionally cleaning the floor and walls.
“I- I mean, I am not, and I do not like him, obviously, Why would I?” ''Aurora, you can't lie to me. Who is this person you are talking about :pepethrowup:?'' She said, now feeling more concerned. ''You kissed him?! Jeez, Aurora wh- well, if you don't like him, then why the hell did you kiss him on the cheek....'' not really understanding, Violet kept cleaning the floor.
But wait~ she definitely was not prepared for what was coming next. Violet looked at the pink haired ravenclaw with her eyes wide open, and felt as thought her heart was going to shatter onto the ground for how touching and sad Aurora's next sentence was. ''Aurora, I-'' Violet took a shaky breath as tears were starting to come to her eyes for how emotional that was. Violet did not want to admit it, but she did cry very easily. ''Did you cast the spell? Like, the slug vomiting one? If you didn't, its not your fault, but if you did, well, my best advice is to control your temper..'' Violet wiped her tears from her cheeks as she continued scrubbing more.
“I-I lost someone before, and it hurts so bad and I know it was like a decade ago, and I look fine, but I am not. And I- I hate that I couldn’t do anything, and he’s gone, and sometimes I feel like his face is starting to fade away from my memory and I am scared. What if-“ The usual cold and reserved Violet had gone, and an emotional and sobbing Violet had been summoned into that dirty bathroom at once. ''Aurora, no, stop I can't take it I-'' Her face now red as heck, Violet started sobbing as she, not conciously doing it of course, took the mop that they had been using to wipe the floor and put it into her mouth like a blankie she used to control her tears at home. Shoot, this was too embarassing for Violet, but she didn't care much anymore.
“-What if it will be the same case with Nicholas?” ''NICHOLAS MCCOW- I- I mean, Nicholas McWho? I-I don't know anyone named nicholas, yeah, no, I dont know anyone, yes, i mean no.'' Violet lied, her face flushing ever so brightly. Aurora. Had. Kissed. McCowan. Violet had to do everything in her power to stop Aurora from liking the Gryffindor boy, for deep down Violet felt like this guy was going to hurt and bully Aurora in the worst ways possible. '' Aurora, are you sure that you like this guy?'' Violet had to make sure that she had not heard right.

Boys are dumb. But they made Aurora even dumber than usual. The toothbrush that she used to brush her teeth was probably as filthy as licking the dirty bathroom tiles. Imagine the amount of bacteria that was hiding between each bristle, and now transferred to her teeth and oral cavity. The worst thing about this situation was the fact the Slytherin did not even bother to warn her about her action that was going on as they spoke and cried together. “I don’t know, I am sure it will go away soon, like in a week or so, absolutely, this will not and should not last” In such a young age, it was impossible for the girl to have a grasp about feelings. That category was way too high, beyond her reach, out of her field of view. The only thing she knew was the fact that every interaction with the unfashionable guy was very much pleasant, the type of things that you wanted to do all over again even if it was just some foolish meaningless argument.
Everything was hard to understand. The more her brain tried to make everything make sense, the more clueless she got. Nicholas was not the type of person that usually made her feel some type of way. Definitely not someone who normally will make her all giddy and excited. He was just another person that passed her in the hallway, then why can’t he stay that way? “He is such a git! He is so, so rude! And annoying! And very harsh to me! How do you suppose to like someone that is not nice to you? So I don’t think I like him. I mean, how would I know!” These days, her mind was full of hypotheses of the research by comparing her reaction with subject number one and number two. Both were somewhat identical but different at the same time, like two cupcakes with only one icing. “The closest, almost the same but not really the same thing happened with Peri, but he’s nice and charming and smart and a good duelist, so I guess that made so much sense why I used to admire him, I mean I still do, he’s an amazing person after all, but like I don’t really care if he likes me back or not, and whether he likes someone else or no one.” Sometimes it would be so much better if she knew when to just stop and shut up rather than blabbering all of her secrets in just one sitting. “Oh did i just say another name?, I-“ She threw away her toothbrush, moved closer to Violet and decided to go all in.
“You know what? Whatever, I don’t care. Yes, so I admired Peri, or Pericles Dralt, A third year Ravenclaw, during my first year. I literally joined every club he was in, such as the frog choir, headliner, animagus. But I suspect he has someone already, and I don’t really care, you know? But with Nick-” She paused and let out a sigh. “-or Nicholas McCowan, a second year Gryffindor, but i like to call him McNuggets more-“ That was officially his nickname until she decides otherwise. Her mood change was quite apparent from the tear streak on her cheek and the radiant smile on her lips while the picture of the flannel boy appeared in her head. “-I guess I don’t really care either, I mean, he can like anyone he wants, but I still have this hope that he will like me back, you know? I mean, it’s not like I like him or admire him or adore him. I don’t know” Both hands played with her nails, eyes glued to the ground, then she stopped and pulled her hair lightly. “Maybe I do like him or just indecisive, I am very confused.”
Feelings. She could talk on and on about that particular topic despite her zero understanding. This might be the start of their blossoming friendship. Bonding over dirts and heartfelt conversation. From the outside, Violet was quite an attractive girl. Perhaps she has more experience than I do. One or two questions won’t hurt. “Do you ever like someone? And how do you know if you like someone?”
