 Post 4 Cutting the wood Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Aspen branch in hand, Gideon made his way back to the part of the wooded area that seemed to have the most activity going on at the moment...the workbenches. Setting the wood down, he almost took out his wand to accomplish the cutting of the runes having been using magic all along at least with the portal. But that might have had something to do with figuring it would be best not to dally over the creation of the carving needed, not wanting to hold others up. And then the 5th year remembered something the professor had said about mixing magics and the effect it could possible have on the runes, another reason pushing him towards the more hands-on approach.
"Perhaps doing it by hand would be better," he mused quietly, his gaze coming upon the various tools provided for accomplishing just that. Sure it would take longer, but the effort might show he had learned something about not always using magic especially when mixing such magiks. Gideon picked up the handsaw and paused as he held the saw in one hand while the other held his branch to the workbench, the boy trying to eye where best to place cuts before he started. Had he something to mark it with, the 5th year might have went in that direction but he was left to meerly visualize. Once he was satisfied he began sawing at the branch, working hard at his cutting and counting as he went.
One...two...three...four...five...
