Alfie wanted a long shower. Another one. He was pretty sure he still smelled a little bit like the cauldron muck that Peeves had covered him in anyway, and he didn't mind per se, except that people kept looking sideways at him when they got too close and he was sick of explaining that it wasn't his fault. He'd had to get out of his room, because the smell was still clinging in there to everything and his bed was particularly bad, so he'd headed to the Common Room - hoping that in a bigger space he wouldn't be so noticeable. He didn't think it was working, really. Even the cats were keeping their distance, and usually he got on really well with his housemates' pets.

His presence near to her felt somewhat comforting. Not completely, but a little at least, and he was trying, which was important. And what he was saying was true - Malfoy was pretty high and mighty. He undoubtedly had no idea who she was, and he might not even have noticed what house she was in.

"You're right," she said finally, after a long period of silence. "I'm going to go up to my room, Alfie, but thanks for calming me down." She struggled her way out of the chair, gathered up her books and turned to leave, but glancing back over her shoulder, she offered a parting piece of advice.

"Alfie? Go and see Professor Flitwick. He can at least help you out with some sort of charm to mask the smell until it wears off by itself." She smiled sympathetically at him, then left.
