Understandable mistake, in Fina's eyes anyway, but she did understand the girl's pain. She had always hated when professors called her Josephine.
But names aside, there was bigger fish to fry. "I don't know. I mean, I can't do it alone. But well first we need to figure out what is causing the problem. If it's a plumbing issue, a ghost issue," aka Myrtle. "Or just, well, I don't know really." Anything was possible at Hogwarts.
Mm-hmm. Right. Sure she did.
How did anyone get Alexis from
Alexa? Thankfully not many people decided to take it upon themselves to change her name but every once in a while you had people like the dear Professor who clearly felt that her parents had made a mistake in naming her and took it upon themselves to right that wrong. She made a conscious effort to remove the scowl but the woman's next sentence nearly brought it right back.
"So...what you're basically saying is that I wasted my time and my socks running over here because there's nothing you can do about it and in fact the bathroom might just be extra haunted--is Hogwarts under a ghost attack or something?!" That's really all she was getting from the conversation.
"That'd be so weird if we were..." She said, more to herself than the Professor. In her mind a plan was already sketching itself out. She could see some late night patrols looking for said ghosts and anything else that might be out to make sure her socks were ruined.
