Lydia removed her paddle from the water and hung it back up carefully with all the extra ones.
Tinka stepped away from the laundry tubs and gave a little nod to Lydia.
"Tinka show Miss Lydia more Hogwarts." She reached down to grab the shoelace tied around her waist, untied it, then threaded the end though the handle of her whisk. When she was satisfied her whisk would be safe around her waist, she pointed towards the back corner of the laundry room.
"Miss Lydia follow Tinka now. Tinka show Miss Lydia more."
She quickly walked towards what looked like a simple cupboard in the far left corner, opened the door, and
vanished.
