The third year nodded diligently, finding it easy to slip into the mindset of busywork. She liked this much more than studying, and Sisse administered it just like a professor. It was almost as if she noticed Millie's neglected Charms revision, gifting her the opportunity of practice to balance it out. It brought a smile to her lips as Millie piled all her things on the desk again. She took a sip of the cold tea before standing up to start on her side.

"We could check..." Millie agreed, waving her wand to still the teacups prancing wantonly on the desks within her sight. Then again, she thought, with Sisse's guidance the two of them were handling this little upset quite handily. That made her feel better about the few cups they had broken in the process, taking care of the rest herself did much to make up for that. "But wouldn't it be better if the matrons came back to the room all tidied up?"

Maybe there would even be House points in it for them.

That's not why Millie made the suggestion. Now that she had, however, the young witch found she truly wanted it. A little recognition for a job well done, surely that couldn't be too much to ask for. "You're such a talented witch, Sisse, why do we need the matrons when we have you?"

Her offhand compliment reminded Millie of another talent the older witch had as well, wondering if she dared ask Sisse for even more help now.
