In fact, she hadn't let herself be in a silent surrounding ever since she was in the girls' bathroom last night... not healthy for her.
Luckily, Vickers started explaining how they were going to build the trellis and the swing. It sounded ridiculously easy when he talked about it, but Louisa knew better. It was going to be HARD to do all that. However, she just shrugged and gave him blank looks. She was in this with him even if it took all week.... in fact it'd be better if it did since that was a great distraction from what she'd been thinking about earlier. "If you say so.."
The Ravenclaw moved one of the wooden planks to the side. She eyed it for a minute deciding where exactly to cut. When her eyes didn't get it, she dragged it closer to the one Vickers just demonstrated on and by comparison Louisa cut it into two unequal pieces. "Diffindo!" A leeeeeeettle bit too much force causing the wood to 'explode' cut. Oops. "Uhh... we can still use those." The cut may not be as clean as Vickers' one was but it was usable.
She squatted down and placed the smaller piece on top of the longer one the way the boy did. And again with her wand, a jabbing motion and then, "Pario Claustrum," the bolt erupted from the tip burying itself into the two planks. She stood up and glanced between her separate two planks and Vickers'. "Oh. I should've connected them to yours..." Hence the latticework explanation. Sighing faintly she dragged her two planks closer, lifting them off the ground and then lowering them over the other two. "Pario Claustrum," she jabbed the wand where they should be connected.
Moving on to do some more...
He had just taken a few more planks in his hands when a mini!explosion went off right beside him. He turned sharply and blinked rapidly a few times, avoiding whatever splinters and debris in the air to settle. Whoah... yeah definitely something bothering the Prefect.
"Uh yeah that'll be fine..." he mumbled automatically, picking up the planks as if nothing was amiss. He paused for a moment though as he watched the Prefect start bolting her planks to the ones he started and the beginnings of the trellis started to take shape.
He turned and started pairing the planks together before making a decisive wandstroke and uttered
"Diffindo!" slicing a couple of planks in one go. When Louisa was done fastening her planks together he moved in and continued building the laticework
"Pario Claustrum" he uttered each time he bolted a plank against each other. He worked on these a few times, cutting the planks and bolting them together until the main latticework for the trellis was completed.
He took a couple of skewers and lay it on the ground, Concentrating that it be a larger, thicker plank, Vickers drew his wand across it and uttered
"Temran Madera!" A pair of thicker planks appeared in place of the skewers. Happily the Ravenclaw took one of the thick planks and started bolting it to the long edge of the latticework, then moved to do the same with the other plank on the opposite edge. Finally he stood up and examined his work
"Ok, one side of the trellis is done." he smiled. Now to see if Louisa needed help with the other trellis...
