Ella paused in her search when she realized something. It'd probably be useful to repair any dents, scratches, or general damage before she made the armor look shiny and new, right? RIGHT! So before anthing else, the mending charm was going to be used. Awesome plan.
SPOILER!!: Toby!

So, when Tobias arrived at the Armour Gallery he was armed with not just his wand, but also a bunch of rags and soft cloths and a bottle of Mrs Skower's All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover (though he still wasn't sure if that was the best thing to use and would probably ask someone else if they were here). Oh, he'd use magic TOO, but elbow grease sounded like a good idea first.
The Hufflepuff had just hauled his bucket of rages and cleaning solution into the gallery and was about to start looking for the right suit, but he immediately saw Ella.
Grinning to himself, he headed straight over, set down the bucket with a muffled CLANK and retrieved a clean rag. Then he smiled at HER. "Hi Ella!" Tobias greeted her chirpily. "Fancy seeing you here!" That was what people usually said when they bumped into each other, right?
And then there was a smiley Tobias, the best kind of Tobias there could be.
"Hey, little badger. You following me?" GRIN. She was kidding, obviously.
"Here to do the Ancient Runes assignment?" Probably. Unless he'd decided to reenact the tale of Cinderella or something on his own. Who knew, really. Tobias was a creative kid.
While waiting for the second year to answer, the blonde approached the statue nearest her and ran her hand gently along the armor. There were definite dents and she felt sort of bad because she was among the students who had caused them. Poor thing.
"Sorry about this." She whispered, furrowing her brow. Could armor get mad? Anway...
"Reparo!"
She was relieved to see the improvement in the condition of the armor after the spell but there were still a few spots that could use mending. Perhaps she needed to concentrate more.
"Reparo!"
