She was in the laundry room, washing her own clothes the old-fashioned way... and while it was sorta calming, it was very inconvenient. She had class tomorrow. She needed her uniforms to be CLEAN. And the only thing she could find to wear right now was a beautiful black dress that was definitely not meant for kneeling on the ground scrubbing uniforms. Oh well. She'd never been good at taking care of fancy clothes anyway. RIP.

Ruari had never done laundry, that was dad’s job.

but he wasn’t a kid anymore, he was a whole eleven years old and it was time he started taking responsibility for himself. He arms full of clothes, Ruari wobbled into the laundry room and promptly dropped his things on the floor by the nearest machine. He heaved a heavy sigh, his lips betraying his amusement despite the attitude he tried to maintain. The ravenclaw felt especially grand today. He'd answered two questions right in his potions class and that one pretty professor had smiled at him.

Yes, he was quite grown up. Daddy- er, Dad would be so proud.

"Hi, nice day for laundry, innit?" he said, his prim accent tinged with a weird mock-cockney that he had picked up from Saturday morning cartoons. "I always like to do mine before it builds up, you know?" Back to his normal voice, but only because Ruari had finally noticed that the girl he was talking to was- well- a girl. A girl in a nice dress. Should he be dressed? Did really cool people wear their nicest clothes to do laundry? Now that he thought about it, he had often heard dad say something about laundry-day when he was wearing something he didn't usually wear...

His t-shirt and trousers suddenly felt... very uncool.

Ruari would do his best not to let it show.
