Waiting until most of the people had gotten their protective gear, since there would be less people to get close to that when she herself got up, the Slytherin was just about to get up and go get a pair herself but, Salander had already done that apparently.
Muttering a 'thank you' to the older Slytherin, Evelyn took a pair of gloves and eye-wear before settling down in her seat, making herself comfortable and sliding on the gloves, all the while keeping an open ear for what Professor Truebridge was saying.
Staring down at the piece of wood in front of her, the teenage girl pulled out her wand and tapped it against her hand, thinking of which rune she should carve into it. Why not her favorite? Thurisaz? However, before she could even begin to think of the incantation, a sudden blur caught her off guard as her gaze snapped up to the moving thing in the air, causing her eyes to widen. What in the world was that!?
Staring at the moving piece, in a moment, it clicked in her mind that it was a wooden board much like her own, except hers wasn't connecting with a Gryffindor's head at the moment. She couldn't help but snort at that actually. Hehe, what!? It was FUNNY!
...wait. Fire. FIRE! FIRE!! Lookit it!
"NOOOO!" she whined rather loudly, watching the flames disappear under the water being conjured from Salander's spell. Alright, so she was upset the beautiful flames disappeared...and she was also upset that now her lap was getting drenched. Stumbling out of her chair, the Slytherin scoffed, glancing down to her wet front...
Before glaring at Salander that is. This...was his fault. He could have totally let the fire be.
It wasn't like it hurt him!

Well, that answered her question earlier about whether or not this carving charm could cause the wood to catch on fire. Who needed Incendio when you could start a fire with Intaglio?
Then, Kurumi got doused in water. Lots of it. Her bangs became plastered to the front of her face covering her eyes and her shoe started making a squishy noise. Did any body have a towel?
Still, instead of getting angry, Kurumi found herself laughing. First class of the year and complete chaos was breaking out. It felt good to be back at Hogwarts.
"Perhaps, I should have carved Ur instead," she laughed picking up her piece of wood. "Seeing as it is a rune that represents water, maybe it could have prevented this." She parted her soaked bangs and looked up at Salander. See, everything could have some educational value.

That was until she looked up at the sound of Matty's voice and gave him a weak smile. "I don't think that I am overthinking it. I am not thinking at all. That's the problem. I can't keep my focus, my mind tends to wander halfway through saying the incantation."
She watched as Matty demonstrated the correct way of doing it and was just about to attempt it again when Sal started yelling about a fire.
EEEK!!!
She had done it again. Mia was just about to push her chair away from the desk when suddenly she was drenched with water. She sat there for a moment blinking a couple of times, trying to figure out what had happened when she saw Sal standing there with his wand out and realised that he had put the fire out.
Mia slumped down in her chair. No point in telling the Slytherin off for wetting her seeing how it was she that had caused the problem in the first place.
"Er...maybe I should try the other way of carving a rune into the wood."

Not bothering to take the things Salander tried handing her she just continued to sit and stare. She wouldn't be needing those materials anyway, not like she was going to use them. Why should she care now anyway? If James didn't think it was important enough to be in class then she didn't think it was important enough to participate. Yeah, she was so going to be kicking herself later for those thoughts.
It wasn't until she had a face full of water that she snapped out of the daze she was in. "What the hell was that for?" she shouted as she jumped up from her seat. Okay, so maybe there had been a fire at their table but she didn't know that. Heck she didn't know anything that was going on around them now.
Drying her face off with Salander's robes... since he seemed to be the one that got her wet, she gave him a shove. "Do I look like I needed a shower?" If she wasn't in a bad mood before she sure was now.
Was this class over yet? She wanted OUT of there.
As he doused the flames out, he could hear someone wail on their table-- Evelyn looked mortified.
"I'm putting it out! I'm putting it out see?!?" he said, completely oblivious of the fact that he was getting rid of the flames that had the Slytherin girl all enthralled. When he as finally done he saw the sopping mess that was their group and started to tergeo the water from the table
"Err... sorry guys..." he mumbled, grinning at Kurumi's suggestion and then hearing Mia's remark
"Honestly I'm just about ready to try the pocket-knife version." Because in Hogwarts, wooden sticks are infinitely more dangerous than metal blades.
And before he knew it, Marie was yelling at him, using him as a towel then shoved him so hard he lost his balance, hit someone and fell backwards. He looked back up at the
drippingSlytherin blond. What came over her? She was just quiet and mope-y
and dry one minute and now she actually got him on the ground.
He grappled the edge of the table and hauled himself back up.
"Sorry..." he mumbled, then added sheepishly
"You want me to vacuum you up?" Least he could do.

Truebridge stepped closer. "Mia, you're more than welcome to wait to learn the other method, but I think you're more than capable of doing this, it's just a matter of remaining calm and focused. That will come with practice."
Truebridge clearly wasn't at all bothered by the sight of flames. For good reason too, while some things might catch on fire, the rune charms surrounding the room did mean any fire would be sluggish and easily put out before it caught severely enough to do any damage or burn anyone dangerously.
Then he turned his head at Professor Truebridge. Oh no! Fire, water, and this corner of the classroom looking like a mess and they arent even halfway done with the lesson. Salander winced, expecting to be told off and made an example of in front of the entire class....
....and get 5 points for Slytherin.
Wait. What?
His mouth still askew when the Professor started to move away
"Oh, thank you Mr Truebridge sir." he called out. He looked at the Slytherin girls and the Hufflepuffs and beamed. 5 pts a piece for getting wet.
Do they want another shower?
