Elise really didn't like cleaning but what could she do when all the house elves had resigned? They had to clean and do everything themselves, like at home but much bigger. If she'd ever taken the house elves for granted, this was a huge apology for them. Y'know, if they could hear her brainwaves thanking them for being so amazing and not complaining about the work they did so well.
Anyway, she'd probably start with Scourgify, since that's what she was best at. Five whole terms and a bit more of Potions lessons with Lafay did that to a person, making the two charms she used the most Scourgify and Incendio. Maybe even Aguamenti, but generally the other two. So wand at the ready, she figured that it was probably time to start the non-verbals.
Channeling the magic the way she generally would, she pointed at her table and used her mind to blast the incantation and not her mouth. Feeling a blast of something leave her wand, she opened the eyes she didn't even realize she was closing to look at it. The table was... significantly cleaner, but not as clean as she would have it if she had used the verbal charm.
"Scourgify," she muttered again, just for good measure. You could never be too clean. Beaming as the desk looked all pretty and dustless, she checked the sheet of parchment for the next charm.
