Hey, Evans...

Yes, Potter.

What do you miss most about being a kid?

#(her family)#questions and answers

What sound do you love?

One? I don't know. A good laugh is especially nice, or that sort of lilt a voice gets when someone's speaking and trying not to laugh, if it's in good humor, but that might be soppy. I sort of like the sound of a sweet wrapper crinkling, particularly.

When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?

Usually something will come along, but preferably I'd grab a friend and goof off. If that's not possible I take a novel down to the common room until someone distracts me, but I might end up researching something instead... I get curious and it ends up with a little slack to work with when I'm not free again.

Assuming I can't convince myself I'm busy anyway.

Clean-up| Lily and Remus

remus-thechocoholic

The sight of the familiar red head in front of him down the corridor was not a surprise, though her relatively high perch maybe more so. Remus smiled up at her, making his way through the light crowd of students who were currently shifting between classes. Picking up one of the buckets she had gestured to, he lifted it and held it up to her with an apologetic look, getting a closer look at the job she had been dealth.

“Lily, could you use some help? This-” A glance at the the thick ooze which currently covered many of the surfaces around them spoke for itself. “This looks like it’ll take all afternoon.” Before she could refuse his help, he set down the filled bucked of -puss, was it?- onto the ground and shrugged his bag off his shoulder, setting it on a clean section of the windowsill neatly. The job of a Head Girl seemed to be much more glamorous from a distance, it would appear, as he picked up a flat metal object that matched the one the redhead held in her own hand to scrape the potent slime off of the stone surface.

“How did you end up landing this job during your spare block? This is something more fit for someone serving a detention, from my own experience, and I highly doubt that’s what you’re here for.” Remus questioned conversationally as he joined her by the end of the step ladder, beginning to work at a portion of slime that covered the floor beneath them.

A few single scrapes proved the job to be much slower than in seemed to be in Lily’s hands, and he quirked his head up for a moment, pausing slightly as he continued on a small section, his brows furrowing as the job went on. “Is there a charm you’re using to get it off more cleanly? It doesn’t seem fond on separating from the floor here.”

Lily thanked Remus for the bucket and climbed back up, returning to her task immediately. She meant to deny his help, but he was a Prefect and she was a little lonesome. She was glad to have the conversation and company. Not to mention it really was a rather large mess, but Lily could've dealt with that much.

"Not detention," Lily agreed, scraping. As Head Girl she took even more pains to avoid it, but while in her early years that had partially been to earn the title, now she felt she had an example to set. She'd never been a rulebreaker, so it wasn't very hard, but it'd be nice to let her hair down. Literally, come to think of it - she'd put up her hair to avoid it getting in the ooze and tied it a bit too tight. "Though I reckon Filch felt a little vindictive, we were both there when this plant blew up and spattered, but I dodged the puss. Our caretaker is unable to take care at the moment, and we can't leave this mess here long," she explained, "Just made sense."

It wasn't the most pleasant job she'd had so far, but it wasn't terrible and it had to be done, and Lily appreciated that.

"Trade me your scraper, I might have a Charm for it and gravity's on my side. Mine was already coated in Slide-Free Solution, is the thing. Yours probably was at some point, it probably got applied wrong and slid free. There's likely a spell to do it all at once, but," she shrugged, "Muggleborn instincts? It's how Filch does it, anyway, it's not too bad," Lily stepped down the ladder again and held out her scraper. "Hard to determine where the puss ends in some spots, it's safer by hand,"

Clean-up| Lily and Remus

The ladder creaked, and tried to wobble. It was a little silly; Lily had two different charms on it to keep it from falling over, the thing was just keeping up appearances. Several feet off the ground in a busy corridor at Hogwarts Castle and scraping some plant's puss off the upper wall, the Head Girl had no worries about falling. A Third year's Herbology project had gone a little wonky in transportation, and Flich, having been caught by some debris when the plant was hit by a wayward charm - 'But Lily, why aren't spells allowed in the corridors?' she remembered being asked two days ago - was off, hopefully getting this miserable material out of his hair but more likely still ranting at the poor kid's Head of House, unable to preform cleanup. The task had fallen to the nearest Head Student, her not having any classes to get to with it being the weekend and being a little impressed at the distance the mess had gotten. The ooze was greenish-yellowish and smelly, and there were three large spots on the wall and one roped off on the floor. It was all terribly sticky, but Lily had a scraper coated in some beautiful magic that made it work smoothly enough, and she already had a bucket nearly full.

She looked for another. Oh, of course, she had left all other buckets on the floor to avoid nosy accidents... Rather than summon one for a multitude of Muggleborn reasons, Lily took the full bucket in one hand and began down the ladder. However, just a few rungs down she caught sight of Remus Lupin and stopped.

"Oi, Remus!" she called, "trade me this bucket for one of those?" She smiled, gesturing - slightly, so as not to spill - with the bucket she had by the handle to a few others by the foot of the ladder, of the same size and metal but in varying states of banged-up.

Sorry, Remus. Need a hand? I don’t suppose you had the chance to give them detentions… Tried exaresco?

Lily. *smiles at the sight of her, happy to see someone familiar and friendly before shaking his head* It’s alright, thanks. Just a bit of water. I tried to be fair with them, honestly, but I really don’t remember acting the same when I was in first year, for sure. I think I gave them detentions, but I don’t know how much of it they heard. They’re a bit crazy, hmm?

*gives a light laugh* I’ll probably just head off to the baths now, it’s getting late. How’re you, Lily?

evansisallright

Youweren't particularly like that, but I could think of a few people who were - I'll double-check the records this weekend and see if their detentions are accounted for, though.

I'm all right - I certainly won't keep you from your bath.

Trying to intercept first years from fighting down by the lake definitely wasn’t the best idea I’ve had today.

Have you seen a copy of the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3 laying around?

I tripped and it…flew.

evansisallright

... Flew. [She sighs.] Well, I gave her mine and she can keep it, but you should apologize. It's Katy Roberson's? Or, was... There wasn't anything salvageable to it?
