Okay, he needed to take a moment and get himself cleaned up. He knew that, but he'd been more concerned about Anna than the sticky mess that Peeves had poured all over him. Now, with her grumbling and pointing out the obvious, he took the time to stop and tug out his wand. It took him a few passes, and he wasn't sure he'd gotten it all off, but more or less he had. At least when he ran a hand over his hair and face, he didn't feel anything. He'd have to take a full shower later to make sure he got rid of all the stick, but that wasn't going to happen for a bit. 

"Not anymore. So, we still sneaking out to Hogsmeade or are you going to use Peeves as an excuse?" he asked, cocking a brow at her and tilting his head a bit. Frankly, he was pretty sure she'd take the excuse. Or, maybe not this one, but he was pretty darn sure that all manner of interferences would keep them from making it all the way to the village. 

Gesturing back towards the mirror, he waited on her to make the next move.
