Cris was initially worried when some of the other students joined the other two groups. Would he be the only porch builder? But then a young Hufflepuff came over to join him and Cris breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hi, I'm Cris. I'm really glad you decided to team up with me. I thought I was going to be the only one," Cris smiled gratefully and stuck out his hand to shake his new team mate.

He looked around hoping for others to join their two boy group and was relieved to see Lux coming over to join them, followed by Bay and then Jasmine.

"I'm so glad you're here to help," Cris grinned at his friends. Right now they had three Hufflepuffs, one Gryffindor and one Ravenclaw. Cris wondered whether any more would join them. He hoped there would be. A couple of Slytherins would be nice too.

"So does anyone know what type of porch we'll be building?" Cris asked the others. All he knew was that they needed one and that of course required planks of wood and stone, both of which the members of the group were gathering from them.

Testing to see whether his potion had taken effect, Cris picked up a plank of wood and balanced it upright in the palm of his hand. Yep, the potion was definitely working.

"Hey look everyone. One hand," he turned to grin at everyone before placing the plank of wood down on the ground. "I guess this could be part of the porch's extended roof or the floorboard of the patio. Anyone has any other suggestions?"

Yes they were working as a team and that meant sharing ideas.

....and then yay! Cris wish was answered, when a young Slytherin joined their group.

"Hey hi, Sophie. I'm Cris," Cris waved at the girl. He had heard Professor Culloden mention her name in class. Then he shook his head,"I don't have any planned design yet. Maybe the others or you or the Professor?"
