"Oh I don't really fear I'll run into anything, but then again I didn't know there were slugs here either. I wouldn't want to run into a spider pit. Ugh!" She loved the darkness and was a big fan of worms, but even Kitty was scared of spiders. At least the large ones.
"Oh I love being prefect," answered Kitty with complete sincerity. "I never imagined I would have been able to be a good prefect, but now I think I've got the hang of it. Patrolling is great! And Rooney and I get along just fine. Penny writes to me with advice every other week."
"Are you going to collect slugs?" Kitty asked curiously, looking at Laurel and the nearby slugs. She wondered if that was why she was down here.
Laurel looked on as Kitty did her best to avoid stepping on any slugs while she moved closer to her. Probably to not seem rude while they conversed. Roderick had chosen wisely, she was going to remember to tell him that. The amount of slugs in this dungeon were to put it mildly disgusting but Laurel wasn't going to tell Kitty that.
She could not keep a straight face though at the mention of a possible spider pit. The Divination professor visibly shuddered and said
"I'm not a fan of spiders either so I'm immensely glad that Hogwarts doesn't have a spider pit." Unless of course they had one down in the detention dungeon to scare naughty students ?
Smiling glad for the change of topic Laurel said
"That's wonderful to hear Kitty. Most people grow with responsibility and you seem to be doing that too. Penny, who is that? A former housemate?" Seemed likely since there was no student currently studying at Hogwarts by that name.
Nodding she said
"Yes, I am actually here to collect slugs. The more withering, slimey and large slugs i can find the better. Would you care to help me collect some? I need a big amount of slugs for my next lesson and i'm sure Professor Newton wouldn't say no to a few either."
