"Bathroom. Doh. Super easy and like how much decorating can really go into it in terms of additional furniture?" Like, a toilet and a sink and a bathtub were all givens. "Plus we could design our own pun-filled poo artwork decorate the walls. Maybe some sort of urine trouble." Okay, was she getting ahead of herself? Too disgusting? LISTEN, she was fourteen. These things were GOING to be FUNNY for her. Also. Not literal poo artwork, cause that would be disgusting. Just some sort of punny artwork.

Ikea .......... they were going to be putting together furniture? Or wait, wait ...... why were they NOT taking a field trip to one? Because literally when Schmoe mentioned the cheap ice cream, that was all Carsyn needed to want to visit a store first hand. Like ... looking through a catalogue was great, but she wanted ice cream. Stat. And it wasn't until the thick book made a thump onto her table when she woke from her ice cream daydream. UH. She didn't want to build furniture. See, this was why she was glad to pick bathroom cause surely they didn't need to pick furniture and could just do decor like shower curtains and things. Or did the shower curtains need to be stitched? Wait, how WERE shower curtains made???


Flipping casually through the book, she pointed. "We need this, obviously." Mirrors were a given. So Carys, you were writing this down? Or did they need to rip out the items from the catalogue they wanted? "And this doesn't look too hard to build?" Hopefully. Cause she supposed they needed SOME piece of furniture and how hard could it be to throw some shelves and posts together???
Her sister’s response had only elicited a bit of an eyeroll from Carys. Of course Carsyn would go for the easiest idea. Bathrooms weren’t quite as simple as she thought, either, although she doubted the professor was going to make them assemble the most important parts. There wasn’t a lot of assembly in those anyway. “I’m pretty sure you know I wouldn’t do anything like that,” she pointed out, scribbling down notes as to their plans on the post-it but leaving out punny poo artwork. She was all for artwork, even in a bathroom, but it didn’t need to be distasteful.

“Maybe we could put up sayings. Like how some people write quotes and stuff on Muggle bathroom walls.” She’d seen it in a Muggle park a long time ago, and even if she hadn’t understood whatever had been written it was an interesting idea. Plus, she was entirely too aware that her twin was way more focused on the lack of ice cream when it had been mentioned. Glancing through the catalog as well, she didn’t even see the food and other things they’d been told about. It was a bit disappointing. Even if she didn’t mind the whole healthy food thing going on during this term, she missed chocolate. And she missed the possibility of Hogsmeade trips.

“Maybe we could do all white furniture with dark accents. Like that shelf and the mirror, and we could use this little cabinet too. And then add color with the towels and stuff,” she added, quickly circling the three items as the professor had announced the lesson was coming to an end and sticking their post-it to the catalog for good measure. In case he needed to know which one was theirs.
