So Anna had been right! She hadn't told Sierra she'd end up doing hard, manual labor, but at least she'd been right about groundskeepers giving points. Apparently, Anna had gotten points one time for dragging a Christmas tree into the Great Hall. Granted, she'd been allowed to use magic for that, though.

Although she didn't say anything out loud, Sierra couldn't help but think that they deserved far more than one point for putting up with the groundskeeper. After all, it'd been him who had suggested they do this muggle style in the first place. Did muggles even cut their grass with scissors, though?! Merlin, no. She didn't think so!

She smiled, though, and said, "Thanks, Mr. Stryker." ...and he'd said they were free to go, so she didn't really see any reason to hang around much longer. Besides, she was a little afraid he'd give her another task to do if she didn't leave now. Maybe something like bringing in firewood--one toothpick-sized piece at a time! "Alright then. Well, I'll...see you around, sir."

She gave him a little nod and a wave then turned to walk away. She kind of lingered, though, so she could wait around for Evelyn.

Scooting forward every other minute since the cutting was going rather quick now, even if sometimes she had to double cut a few grass pieces since they were just too strong for these scissors (what did he feed the grass!? Spinach?), Evelyn looked over to Mr. Stryker when he said that was enough. Really?

WOot!

Following suit quickly, as in getting up from the ground, her eyebrows raised in surprise at the points being given. Well, what do you know? Sierra was right. Though, she totally thought they deserved like a hundred points for the brilliant job, but, that was her opinion. "Thank you Mr. Stryker." she nodded and replied after Sierra. And, they can go.

Meep! "Oh erm, here...the scissors." Yup. Taking a few steps forward, she handed the pair to the groundskeeper before making her way over to the younger Slytherin. "Have a nice day Mr. Stryker."

While she on the other hand, really needed to burn something or...something.
