Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

This was getting even stranger. People were filing in, filling the tubs and just dumping their clothes in them. Were the tubs acting like machines for today? Someone should have mentioned that to her instead of having her standing here like she didn't know what was going on.

Pffft.

Gotta love spell work.

HAIR BOY!!! He caught her attention as she looked for her own tub!machine. He was even waving and smiling, heh, when wasn't he? She BEAMED over at him and gave him a wave, Ella got one too as he made his way over to her. The next person she noticed was Forrest as he entered. He didn't look very happy about any of this. He got a wave and a smile but now she had to focus again because Melanie was saying stuff.

SPOILER!!: Melanie <3

Melanie put down the shirt she was about to drop in the "whites" pile and looked at Alexa's clothes. "You're supposed to wash your clothes by hand," Melanie said, shrugging her shoulders. Which wasn't too difficult. "Don't worry, it's really easy," Melanie promised.


Lex mirrored Melanie's blank look with her own. "Washing...with my hands...?" Was that even possible? She'd never seen her father using his hands to wash anything in the dirty clothes hamper at home. A levitation spell to get them to the laundry room, his hands yes to get them into the machine but that was about it...

"I don't see how it could be easy..." And this meant she was wrong about the tubs being charmed to act like machines. Very strange stuff in deed. "Could you maybe, I dunno, demonstrate or something?"

She was a visual learner, of course she learned the most when she herself was doing the action but for now she'd be content to watch. "How did you learn to wash with just your hands?" If it was something she needed to learn then her father would have taught her ages ago.


SPOILER!!: Kitridge ^^

"I wouldn"t advice using spells around your clothes. You might damage them. Do it the muggle way by hand it won’t damage your clothes." Leo advised. If everyone started shooting spells in the laundry room then somebody would soon end up being injured.


Then Mr. Kitridge confirmed what Melanie said. She'd have to be hand washing. Typically the smile would have left her face by now, her being not amused and all but yeah the smile was still there. Today was getting stranger and stranger.

The corner of her lips twitched and the smile was in danger of falling for good this time at the mention of no using spells. "Seriously?" Ah, yup, no worries, the smile was still there but still, "When you say damage, you mean like I could make the clothes and such and probably everyone else blow up on accident then have the Healer with a lot of work on her hands for the next few weeks...or more like making some of the colours ugly...I don't much mind the second one, I can just have Daddy buy me new stuff when I get home."

Really, it wasn't a problem.

"But okay. Hand washing. How do I do that?"
