As she pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her forehead, Beezus also watched as Aquila's vacuum did its magic. It wasn't really what you'd classify as of that on the proficient degree but she was working on it. It was showing. But there was hardly any litter around their room now since she had already vacuumed. If they were pushing through with practice, in which they were - Beezus called the shots, they'd need a bigger, messier space.

And where was her mind running off to?

Duh. The Common Room downstairs.

So...she waited until Aquila's vacuum whirred down before she pulled on her own and slipped an arm around the younger Ravenclaw's elbow. "Come on, come on, come on." Beezus tugged her companion out of the dorms, down the staircase and finally, gently released her when they were in the Common Room proper.

"You're helping me, right? We shall clean the Common Room!" And no one's going to object. She was being a Prefect here and all. "All right. Let's start vacuuming under the couches? There, near the fireplace?" She didn't even wait for her cleaning buddy - yes, Aquila was now her cleaning buddy - to respond. Once again, she pulled the girl towards the fireplace and set up her contraption. She was going to work with the left side and she gestured that Aquila take on the right.

Wand out. "Vacavus!" SCHROOOOOOOMP. Ugh.. Papers under the couch? SCHRoooOoOoooOOOoooooooOMP. Candy wrappers? Merlin... haven't they established the rule that each of them dispose their own litters? They needed to have a House meeting soon.

SCHHHHHRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOMMMMP.

Dust, dust, dust.

How are you doing over there, Aquila?
