What. A. Mess.
Esme made a face as she stepped inside the room and saw what she was faced with. Despite reading the directions on the door, she somehow was taken aback by how messy and gross everything was. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she had inherited her mother's tenancy to be a bit of a neat freak. She was definitely more organized than her sister though of course Juno was nothing like this... The smell of the cat litter was enough to turn her stomach slightly.
No matter because it was time to get started.
First things first she would address everything that was on the table since it made more sense to work downwards. That was what Esme always did because that way any dust, crumbs, whatever that ended up on the floor could be cleaned up with the rest as opposed to having to do the floors TWICE. It was rather unnecessary in her opinion even if she had magic on her side. Speaking of magic, she needed to remember the spell that would get the rag to do what she wanted. Recalling a previous Charms lesson, she knew that the spell to bring a cleaning object to life was Liberum Arbitrium.
With a swish and clockwise twirl, she called out, "Liberum Arbitrium rag!" The table began to be dusted thoroughly by the rag working its magic, though she did let the pieces of paper fall to the floor. They would be placed in the garbage can though really they SHOULD be broken down and returned to the environment. Recycling was an important thing because the earth had only so many resources and people were eating them up. Whatever. This was not a time to get into a debate even though she disagreed. That would be a discussion for later. At least the table was becoming dust free. Satisfied that the job was being carried out effectively, she moved on to her other tasks.
It was a good idea to take care of the milk before it got spread any further. Besides she didn't want to accidentally step in it or something... Her attention was turned to the mop as well as a bucket. "Aguamenti!" Esme said, filling the bucket with water. She would need to perform the same spell as she had with the rag; a second swish of her wand followed by a clockwise twirl. "Liberum Arbitrium mop!" This would make short work of the milk. It would take less time than cleaning the table too, though that was being carried out VERY efficiently she could see upon glancing upwards. She would be done in no time though she was still far from finished. Obviously. As the mop and bucket did its thing she set about working on the litter box problem because she really couldn't stand the smell anymore.
"Locomotor!" she said as she pointed her wand at the cat litter shovel, lifting it off of the hook. Using her wand, she guided the scoop so that it lifted up all the bits of poop and emptied them in the trash one at a time. Bleh. She made a face. THIS was why no matter how much she liked cats she wasn't about to get one. At least dogs did their business outside...
Now on to sweeping!
Focusing on all the mess that she wanted to have cleaned up - and really it was A LOT - she said, "Liberum Arbitrium broom!" As it sprang to life and began sweeping the dirt and papers (was that confetti mixed in?) that littered the floor, she smiled. The dustpan would be needed because otherwise there would be a mountain in the floor and she wouldn't know what to do with it. "Locomotor!" she called out, sending the dustpan over to where the broom was gathering everything that it had swept up. Once it was all contained, she sent it over to the garbage can. Now she would just need to repeat everything until the floor was spotless. At least the table was clean, the litter was taken care of, and the milk was dealt with. All and all she was doing a good job.
Repeatedly she used Locomotor to gather everything that was littered onto the floor into the dustpan and then dump it into the garbage can. After a few minutes the floor was spotless. All that was left to do was fold the laundry.
Fortunately for Esme she knew the spell to fold laundry; her mother had taught it to her ages ago though she obviously couldn't use it at home until she was of age. No matter because she had practiced it at school and used it to fold up her clothes and keep them in her trunk. It saved a lot of time compared to doing things manually so she could definitely see where Professor Primeaux was coming from with saying how much easier charms made everything. They were a beautiful thing.
The first item of clothing was placed before her on the table and she tapped it with her wand. "Plic Vestimenta." This process was repeated over and over again until all the clothing was neatly folded and laid out across the table surface. Worried that she would damage her work by piling the clothes by hand, she opted to leave everything as it was. Didn't really matter because she had organized like with like and made sure that the result was as neat as possible.
Pleased by how well she had done, Esme left the room. |
