The redhead's normal high heels were missing from her feet, for this evening she was simply wearing a pair of flats; all the better to sneak around the castle in, after all.
She carried a red bucket of cleaning supplies in one hand and her wand in the other. Once she was even with the first year, she offered it to her to hold instead.
"Your tools, Ms. Cambridge. I'll take your wand for the evening, thank you. Make certain every plaque, trophy, cup, medal, and whatever else you may find in here SHINES. I want to be able to see my reflection in them when you are done. Are we clear?" "AHHHHHHHH!!"
Lex gripped Felix a little too tightly in her fright and the poor creature screeched before struggling out of her hold. Her breath caught in her throat for a minute when a voice came out of nowhere but she managed to compose herself when she realized it was only the Headmistress. Was scaring her really all that necessary?
And just what did she mean by making more work for herself. All she did was touch the trophies--such nice, shiny trophies. Turning at the presence of the woman she saw something very unwelcoming in her hands.
O___O
What would she do with those...? Her tools...? Alright, the 11 year old was officially
not liking where this was going. She blinked up at the woman when she gave what might have been the most ridiculous instruction ever. Was she looking into the same room as Lex? There had to be like a million trophies in here! Merlin she didn't even know any cleaning spells that might have been able to help. No no, this wouldn't work. She opened her mouth to speak when the woman said she would take her...her--WHAAAAAT!!!!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" She shrieked, throwing herself on her knees and gripping the woman's legs tightly.
"Please--Please don't take my baby, we haven't been together all that long..he'll miss me..." She could feel her eyes tearing up and she took a moment to dry them with her sleeve.
"Anything but the wand, anything--take Felix, he's not that good a company anyway." The kid was desperate.
