Were there? Merlin she should have had Julie check before they made it all the way up this many flights of stairs.

Hindsight and all that.

Jessa led the way through the library, willing herself to ignore all the books she actually needed while she was here. This was still technically a lesson with a half hour limit. The walking alone must have been eating away at their time leaving her with hardly any time to peruse the shelves. Tragic really.

"Oh, hey, I think I see 'em!" She chirped as they got closer to the fireplace. So not in the Common Rooms then, good, because at this point, both Ravenclaw Tower and the Slytherin Common Room were equally too far away. "Here, I've got the bucket. You can go ahead and cast the heating charm on it then we can grab what we need." Jessa offered, slipping on the gloves she'd stuffed into her pockets before leaving the Potions Classroom.
The kitchens had been a good guess, but that was all it had turned out to be. A good guess with no conclusion. Not that Julie could or would have blamed Jessa for it- They'd both jumped into it.

She was however, quite keen that this be the last stop for the Fireseeds. They had a lot of ground to cover and only thirty minutes in which to do it in (barely any time given how gigantic the castle was). Julie, who was considering their chances of getting back first, perked up as Jessa spoke. "Yeah? C'mon-" Julie only just held herself back from running the length of the library to the fireplace.

"Excellent!" Julie exclaimed, not bothering to keep her voice down as she too pulled on her gloves and tugged out her wand from her robe pocket. If they kept up this bit of luck the girls would make record time.

The Chaudensis Charm was easy enough (and besides, charms were Julie's thing) and with a gentle rotation of her wrist the bucket was warmed to perfection. "How many did we need? was it Three?" or five? She should have written it down.
