SOooOOOOOOOoooooo it would make perfect sense to teach Derf to iron clothes in the laundry room, right?

Yeah, NOOOO.

Lucas thought it was TOO LIKELY there'd be unpleasant professors people could be snooping around OR people Lucas just didn't feel like dealing with OR house elves, which he also didn't feel like dealing with because he loooowkey didn't believe in keeping house elves around so...

So.

Here he was. In the broom closet he told Derf to meet him in. He was armed with some very wrinkly clothes, some hangers, and his wand. It was a little tight, but Lucas didn't mind. He liked the privacy of the broom closet and supposed they could be more candid about things here anyway. And...Lucas had a small gift for the Hufflepuff prefect that he didn't want any ahem mean professors bystanders to see.
