Taking On The Magical World 56 Chapter 55: Renovating

The only times we went out to take a break was to go downstairs to the dining hall and have our meals.

Other than that, we spent the whole day, dis.h.i.+ng out cleaning spells from our wands like the Tergeo charm. Which does the job of siphons off any liquid, such as blood, dust or grease, off of the target you point your wand at.

The other spell we used rigorous was the Scouring Charm. This spell is used to make nearly ever object squeaky clean. The spell is really fun since you can fill a person with soapy bubbles.

Fred was the first person that started firing the Scouring spell and it hit George square in the face. When he opened his mouth, soap filled it. After that, it was all out war between the three of us.

Finally, after our battle was finished, we looked at the wreckage we caused. The entire bathroom was saturated with soap and the three of us were not that much better off.

"Why don't we call it a day?" asked George as we were sitting on the edge of what remained of the fountain.

I looked outside from the blue stained-gla.s.s window and see that it is late into the evening.

"Yeah, I agree with you, twin. Even with all this soap piled on top of me, I still feel so grimy." Fred added, and I have to completely agree with what he has said. I feel so itchy and I also feel like that I have not showered for months on end.

"Well, it late anyways so let just go get showered and continue with this tomorrow." I voice, the twins eagerly nod their head and we head off to the Gryffindor tower.

------------------------

I, Fred, and George came back the next, which was a Monday, after all our cla.s.ses were done for the day. We got right back into cleaning up the place.

That day we had to use the Scouring Charm only since it is the only thing we know that can be used to clean out smaller infestations of bundimun. It was these little pests that were making the bathroom smell so awful.

We found the little ugly pests hiding in the corners of the bathroom stalls. These pests are a magical creature found all over the globe. It is greenish in color, has many little yellow eyes, they fed on dirt, and could destroy a whole house thanks to their secretions. You could know that they are around by the foul stench of decay that they leave hanging around in the air. With a large enough of an infestation, the building they are held up in could collapse thanks to their s.h.i.+T!

The Scouring Charms could clear out only a small infestation. Thank G.o.d that it was only five of these ugly little b.u.g.g.e.rs we found or else we would have had to give up on this place because only the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures (Pest Sub-Division) could deal with a large infestation.

--------------------------------

We spent a whole month of slow and thoroughly cleaning up the whole place.

Our troubles did not end only with the infestations of bundimun, we found Ectoplasm stuck on to one of the bathroom stall doors.

Ectoplasm is a sticky, viscous green substance left behind by ghosts and other spirits that slowly acc.u.mulates over time. In other word is ghost fart. It is really strong, and it could act as a powerful adhesive, but it also harms humans should they come into contact with it, since it is also a poisonous substance.

I had to ask Professor Flitwick for the spell to get rid of the Ectoplasm. It was very difficult work, to get the spell from Professor Flitwick since I had to avoid the question of why I needed the spell. Thanks to being a good student in his cla.s.s, I was finally able to learn the spell, which is called the Skurge Charm.

This is a really sad spell, I muse we I got it since it only has one use, to clean up ghost fart!

After a month of hard work, we were finally able to clean up the blue stained gla.s.s windows, the bathroom stalls, the fountain, and the sinks.

I even put in a lot of hours studying transfiguration since a bathroom is still a bathroom, we need to transform the place into a genuine shop. After long hours in the library, I was ready to get the place set up.

I was able to transfigurate the bathroom stalls into large shelves, were we can place the goods. The sinks were transfigured into cubic display cases, that can hold our latest creation. The remains of the fountain were transfigured into a proper round counter, that can act as cas.h.i.+er station.

"Wow, remember how this place was when we first came here? Now look at it, you won't even recognize that this was the pile of rubbish heap, we started with." George said out loud with a tone of contentment in his voice.

"Yeah, we should have taken a photo from before and then after, people would be amazed at the huge difference," Fred added.

"It is called a before shot and an after shot," I correct Fred.

I look around the place and it is a much better sight than what we came to when we first entered the bathroom, no, I should call it shop.

A dozen candlelight lamps hang all around the place, glowing in a soft golden luminescent light. Seven empty shelves line the left side of our shop, soon they would be filled with merchandises, I envision to myself. The right side of the shop holds nothing except the two large windows, the three of us could not think of anything to place there yet. In the middle of the place is a new stone counter. On the either side of the mysterious doors, line cubic display cases.
