Slugs were not fashion.
And neither was the rope she had made out of an old bed sheet that she was carrying draped around her shoulders and arms. Once she'd figured out getting across, she'd be done with it and be onto the next thing to solve here.
But someone was there. "No no no"

Because that had to be the explanation: they were clearly stopping students from getting across to the OTHER SIDE and to wherever that may lead. And Józef needed to know. NEEDED to. Absolutely HAD to because he'd been cooped up in his Common Room being lead to and from EVERYTHING for too long and now he was free.
And freedom was getting to him.
If he'd been in some other part of the Castle, there was a good chance he would have missed the quiet voice behind him, but it was quiet down in this part of the dungeons and so he turned to see who had joined him.
"Oh, yes yes yes!" Jó exlaimed back, eyeing the.... washing? the girl had brought with her. "Laundry room is back that way," he said jerking his thumb in a nondescript direction. "But while you're here, you can help me cross the pit of slugs!"
Wandering the Castle was something that Lady Helena had grown used to over the years. It did not bore her. As long as Helena encountered students on her wanderings she never minded how many times a place was roamed. The Ravenclaw ghost thought that she could hear voices when she drew near to the Slug Pit.
“Students.’’ Helena hovered a little distance away. Her nose was wrinkled in disgust. The Pit appalled her.
