>Hilda retreats deeper and deeper into the obscure halls of the library, looking for a way to magic herself out of her situation
>before she realizes it, she's wandered into the territory of the witches' coven and roused their suspicion, and she's left a trail of damp footprints and overturned books for them to follow
>she's cornered by a group of older ladies, who confiscate her soggy raincoat and discover that she's naked underneath
>after a thorough scolding, they take pity on her and offer to let her borrow some clothes once she's dried off
>(it's not the first time they've seen someone in this predicament and it won't be the last; magic is a fickle thing, and every once in a while a novice witch will teleport herself right out of her robes)
>unfortunately for Hilda, all the outfits they have in her size are varying degrees of cutesy and embarrassing
>frilly dresses and schoolgirl uniforms and stockings and bows and whatnot
>they spend a while "helping" her try them all on, fussing and fawning over her like a pampered doll
>Hilda assumes they're doing it on purpose as a punishment
>at this point she'd rather be seen naked
>eventually Kaisa tracks them down
>she convinces the older witches to let her take Hilda, though not before some more playful teasing at Hilda's expense
>Kaisa escorts her back up to the library as quickly as possible
>her friends notice the wardrobe change, of course
>Hilda refuses to comment
>she doesn't want to think about it right now
>she especially doesn't want to think about what'll happen when she needs to return the clothes she borrowed
>knowing how serious they are about book returns, she won't have to go to them, they'll find her
>at least she'll still have the raincoat
