Points, which even back when Fina was a student, she still knew to be VERY precious to many students.
"I had planned for something a bit more extreme for chatting after explicitly told not to," Fina sighed, looking back and forth at the pair. "But I really don't have it in my heart to do that to you, so I will say this: Consider this fair warning, one step out of line, for any reason, and you will find yourself in the dungeons for an indefinite amount of time." That was fair, right? Hopefully. More importantly though, hopefully it wasn't too lenient.
"Before you're both dismissed, then you are to work together to clean up the cupcake mess. The muggle way, with no wands. And by together, I literally mean that," With a quick flick of her own wand, she tied the girls' ankles to each other with some conjured rope, followed by summoning both their wands. She handed one girl a broom and dustpan, as well as cloth and cleaner to the other girl. "Together," she reminded them, because without teamwork, she doubted they'd be able to adequately clean up the mess.
Ellie nodded. Psshh.. Easy! She cleaned the muggle way for the past eleven years! But she definitely let out an audible
'Eep' when her wand flew from her holster. Her precious wand. She had come to value that beyond anything else these past few weeks.
Then a rope bound her to that Lafay-loving girl. Ugh. Not cool. She took the broom and dustpan and looked at the girl expectantly. She needed to start getting all the frosting up before Ellie could clean the crumbs. Otherwise all the broom bristles would get all sticky and icky.

"It's Ellie. Actually." she said. Merlin! She could at least get her name right. She was kinda awesome that way. Unlike the girl, she didn't deserve a proper name yet in her book. Nope.
