Alright, polishing was finished. Ella stepped back and regarded the armor thoughtfully, thinking she'd done an okay job of it. Hopefully Professor Botros thought so too.

Now if she wasn't mistaken, they'd used the Impervius Charm during class last term to not only make the desks waterproof, but able to repel dust as well. At least that's what she recalled doing. Anyway, even if the charm didn't help with the dust, no water meant less rust which was awesome for the statue. It was worth a shot, yeah?

Wait, walk around in this armor? "I bet it'd be tiring, actually." But maybe cool just cause you could say you'd tried it out. "No worries, Toby. I'm too small too." Just saying.

Tapping the shoulder of the armor she was standing in front of, Ella concentrated and then said clearly, "Impervius!" Did that work? She hoped so.

Oh. Ella glanced over at Tobias and smiled a little, shrugging her shoulders. "Less time, is all." She'd gotten progressively busier as the terms went on and there was less time for exploring and things like hanging with the armor. "I do try and make time to walk by and give them a wink every now and then, though." And she grinned at the younger badger and then up at the armor.

The blonde finished up working on the armor with the Impervius Charm and bent down to shut her notebook, satisfied with her work. "Not too shabby, dude." And yes, she was totally talking to the armor.

"It'll help you loads in later years, the staying on top of your reading." Especially when OWLs came around. It was really good thinking on his part. "Believe me, Toby, no one can stay focused all the time." Especially if you had adorable hair ruffling boyfriends that insisted on being distracting during class. Just saying.
