Dodging some of the other students as they cleaned around the classroom, Ethan wandered back over to his desk. Sure he had cleaned the top of it - and quite well, he might add. But the seat was still dirty meaning the back of his pants probably was too, not to mention how filthy the floor was underneath it. He curiously watched a Hufflepuff girl for a moment as she crawled around under desks, cleaning the floor, and he decided to clean that area around his desk too.

He pointed his wand at the seat of his desk. "Scourgify!" The dirt disappeared but he noticed a few cobwebs in the legs of the chair. "Scourgify!" he commanded again as he pointed his wand to remove the rest of the dust and cobwebs. Now for the grimy floor. "Scourgify!"

Now that the rest of his desk and its immediate area was clean, he figured he could also polish up the area to match the top surface of his desk. He waved his wand in a crisp S formation at the seat of his desk. "Poliotus!" It seemed a bit shinier, but maybe not quite as polished as it should be, he thought remembering Knox's demonstration. Probably would take more practice to master it, not that he really cared much about this spell, but he'd be getting practice today, like it or not.

Peering down at the stone floor, he noticed that it did look cleaner thanks to his spellwork, though still a little scuffed. Maybe it could benefit from a little polishing. Another tight S in wand movement, pointed at the floor, he commanded, "Poliotus!" It instantly looked shinier. That was done to his satisfaction.. now where else?
