She headed out of the Hufflepuff common room, all of her assignment creations in her canvas bag, and made her way to the girls bathroom on the second floor. She wanted a bit more privacy than the Hufflepuff dorms would provide, especially if her soap and face mask didn’t work. Before walking into the bathroom, she glanced up and down the hall, then poked her head inside and questioned “Hello? Is anyone in here?” Thankfully, there was no response.

She entered the bathroom and sat her canvas bag upon the sink counter. Emmalyn placed her items, one by one, on the counter and pulled out her notebook and pencil. She decided to start with the soap. Clean hands were good to have before applying a face mask. After unwrapping the bar of soap, she turned on the faucet to a nice warm temperature and stuck her hands under the warm running water. With her left hand, she picked up the bar of coconut lime soap and rubbed it between her hands, working up a nice lather. She placed the soap back on the waxed paper and finished washing off the residue.

The lime scent filled the bathroom with its mild aroma. The coconut was far less detectable, but a hint could found if she sniffed her hands. “That seemed to work well.” Then it was time to try the mask. She opened her container to find a brownish gooey substance inside. She had forgotten that avocado browned so quickly. She figured it should work just fine, but not be as pretty as it first was. Her fingers dipped into the container and began spreading the goo on her face. It was cool and refreshing. It needed to be left on her face for fifteen minutes, so she figured it was a good time to start taking notes.

The mask had started to feel crusty after about ten minutes and the desire to scratch her face was almost overwhelming by the fifteen minute mark. She quickly turned on the water at the fifteen minute mark and used her new soap to remove the mask from her face. The brown, crusty goo fell into the sink and her face felt much better after it was completely removed. Her skin was now very soft and smooth. The mask had helped and it was so easy to make.

She reached over and grabbed her bamboo towel to dry her face and hands. The towel was a bit scratchy for her face, but it did make a good hand towel. She wasn’t sure if it was due to her spell casting abilities or if it was the type of towel she chose to make. Maybe bamboo wouldn’t get that soft? Either way, it still worked and she was thrilled about it. She cleaned up her mess and packed away her items before leaving the bathroom and heading back to the Hufflepuff dorm to write her reflection.
