No, she really didn't think so. As the Slytherin Head of House she came in here rather often to keep up with things. Like checking in with the students, updating the notice board and recently cleaning. From the looks of things however as she stepped into the common room, it looked like this placed hadn't been cleaned in months!

There was no way she would be leaving it like this. Whatever the house elves were doing, cleaning the common rooms didn't seem to be it. With a gentle flick of her wrist, her wand was in her hand. A soft wave of her and a quiet whisper of an incantation was given to begin the clean up. This was all before her eyes even fell upon the two young ladies in the room.

Hazel eyes spotted the first years the very second that dim light was once again shining as it normally was. "Hello girls. This room is quite the mess today, isn't it?" They need not fret though, she would have it all clean and warmed up soon. But was that Miss Dupont coughing and wheezing like that?"Miss Dupont, are you alright?

But now she avoided the common room at all times. It was messy and disorganized and gross and dark and ridiculously cold and damp. Worst of all, it was dusty, and Phoebe was asthmatic. She was heading out in the morning, trying to slip away before her dormmates woke up, and................ she starting coughing and wheezing like crazy. She sat down on one of the couches, but that just displaced more dust, and made everything infinitely worse.

Phoebe was pretty sure she needed help. But hopefully she could deal with this herself before she had to bother anybody... She definitely didn't want to bother anybody. Because this was embarrassing, okay? And she didn't want to draw any more attention to herself at this school.

Alas her Head of House joined the common room and got to work. Something that Etta realized she should have done to begin with instead of remaining in a state of bewilderment. Apologies, common room. Moving past that Etta realized she wasn’t very familiar with Slytherin’s Head of House but she seemed rather nice and kind, making the youngling’s anxiety decrease.

”Hello.” Etta politely bowed, though she was unsure if the HoH would notice since the room was dimmed. ”Has this happened to the Common Room before?” Etta was still new to the school so she wasn’t familiar with much yet. Even if half the term had been completed thus far.

It didn’t escape Etta’s notice that someone sounded unwell and she went to investigate. To her surprise it was fellow dorm mate, Phoebe. Yikes, the wheezing didn’t sound very good. ”I think you should go see the healer...” Etta suggested to Phoebe. Hopefully the healer would have medicine to aid her dorm mate and she won't feel so ill.

Shifting focus back to the subject of cleaning the youngling asked the Head of House, ”is there anything I could do to help clean?” She’s up for any task that would help with organizing the room again.
