It was one of her best thinking spots when she wasn't working out, so the captain made a detour on her way back from the prefects bathroom (freshly clean and pressed and in correct uniform) with her hair still damp and her ponytail curling at the edges.

She stopped short at the scene before her. House elf in tears - Nimma, who was the sweetest and couldn't possibly have done something wrong on purpose - and one of the new professors standing over the elf and glowering.

"Is everything alright, sir?" She asked politely in her Australian twang.

ALGAMUS, SIR YES SIR.

The armoury is one of Algamus' favorite places, so shiny and bright and also dusty and always in need of a good cleaning! This time though, this time Algamus had a bad feeling as he mARCHED into the gallery to check on Nimma, and quite rightly so. The scene before Algamus' eyes was difficult to understand...

"Nimma! Why is there water all over the floor!?! Master Ainsworth sir, Algamus will fix it sir, Master can trust Algamus! Sir!" The girl student did not interest Algamus in the slightest, as long as she kept her greasy fingers off his shiny Hogwarts armour.

This creature spilled water on my brand new shoes.’’ Glares happened when the next elf joined them. “No thank you. That one there has done enough.’’ Oh his precious shoes! Non verbally a drying spell was cast. In the meanwhile, all three of his company were ignored.

She was a little surprised, if she was honest, that it was apparently such a big deal to have water on his shoes. Every single pair of hers had been thoroughly imperviused by her mother, so it wasn't a problem that she ever ran into herself. And.... they looked dry now? Obviously Professor Ainsworth was good enough with his wand, even if he was just a Muggle Studies Professor. Muggle Studies, a subject she herself was mostly pretty pro at, but spells like that one? Not a chance. She was pretty sure too that she'd never be able to manage a non-verbal, so it was always pretty impressive to see one, even if there was a scowl accompanying it.

"I think it was an accident, professor, it had to be. Plus its only water, right? Your shoes look fine. My mum imperviused all my shoes, so water never bothers me, I bet you could do that too, impervius them, that would keep them nice, wouldn't it, sir?"

Hopefully Algamus would vanish the water puddle instead of chastising poor Nimma any more.

Nimma's face glistened with tears as she continued to sob uncontrollably. She did not mean to cry! She *sniff* did *sniff* not *hiccup* mean to! A young studentsie came in which frightened Nimma only because she did not want Master Ainsworth to get mad at the studentsie too! And THEN, Algamus came in too and Nimma started crying all over again. Algamus would see what a bad house elf Nimma was being! And the studentsie was trying to help, and Nimma was so grateful but she felt terrible. Even though the damage was now done and Master Ainsworth was dried off, Nimma was absolutely miserable. Never, in all of her years here, had she spilled on a master of Hogwarts! What would Headmaster Scrimgeour say to her now?? Lip trembling, Nimma started to back up and with a *POP!* she disappeared.
