>Head home and clean up.
Hermione looks down at her wet clothes with a grimace. Even her hair had yet to fully dry. How disgustingly unpleasant. She pulls out her phone as she walks toward the street where her driver had parked. “Chauffeur! I’m currently heading down [redacted] street, come take me home. And let the maids know to begin preparing my bath, will you?” She hangs up.
Drying her hair with a small towel, seated uncomfortably on the now damp leather seats in her car-ride home with a nearly empty gym-bag at her feet, Hermione glances at a notification on her phone. Excellent. She now had an address for the Beets residence. That investigation team wasn’t entirely worthless, after all. After thinking for a moment, she calls home. “Butler. Is my sister still occupied? I would like to speak with her.”
“A rather rare request from you, my lady. I’m sure she would be pleased to hear it. Unfortunately, she has just gone to bed, after the conclusion of her discussion with your father. Per your mother, miss Aurelia is not to be disturbed for at least seven hours, to ensure she receives adequate rest. I can, however, leave a message for her to review at her leisure.”
“Hm.” Hermione frowns. “No need for a message. Simply inform me as soon as soon as she awakens.”

The red-haired girl lets out a contented sigh as she submerges herself in the warm water of her large bath. It was almost impossible to describe the sheer bliss of no longer having to suffer through damp clothing. As she lounges back, she considers the other magical girl, Lorene. She was a bit sharper than Beets, and rather competent at swinging that sword around. Frustratingly, she hadn’t even been able to get a last name, and the girl had covered her face in Samantha’s group photo, meaning it would be difficult to look into her further.
Knowing so little about her was an undesirable position to be in, but she supposed that as long as they stayed out of each other’s way, it didn’t really matter too much.
Hermione lets herself relax, thoroughly enjoying her bath.
>This is nice. Anything to do on your phone? Or preparations for your chat with mother?
