Lydia almost ran right into a bunch of cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Oops. She brushed some of them away with her hand. "So is there anything special about this floor, Tinka?"
Not understanding what the young Slytherin was talking about, she continued on down the corridor. House elves all had been and always would be. Nothing new about them. She then wondered if Miss Lydia was referring to how young she was. Tinka paused a moment when she realized that it was the Muggles that didn't like House Elves. She had never been off Hogwarts grounds or met a Muggle. When all that silliness had passed through her head, she started down the corridor again.
"Tinka like fifth floor corridor. Corridor maksies the best cobwebs of all corridor." She nodded her head excitedly.
"Toddles should cleansies better. He still young house elf. Toddles need cleansies corridor."
Her eyes were set on their next destination, just at the other end of the corridor, and her gentle pace down the corridor allowed her to take in all that needed to be cleaned once she returned.
