"Woopy spoke out of turn!" He snapped at the witch before lowering his arms and turning to the small trail of potion climbing up the stairs. The red marks on his arms stuck out plainly against his pale skin.

It didn't take long before he was climbing down each step and carefully casting the cleaning charm on each; ensuring each step was completely rid of any potion residue. After all, who knew what kind of potion she had been trying to brew and what kind of effect it would have on the centuries old wood and stone of the school.

After about the fourth step, Woopy looked up to see the young girl still staring at him. Had she never seen a house elf before? By this point, the elf was more than a little confused though she was at least being civil toward him - which was a rare occurrence.

"Why you make potion go everywhere? It is messy and hard to clean! What potion?"

Woopy may not have been a potions expert but he knew a little and any insight into the potion would at the very least allow him to figure out if any further charms were necessary to make sure the whole school didn't blow up!
