The Slytherin got the small jar containing his Strength Potion out of his pocket and drank it in one go. He stayed on his skateboard as he listened to the professors instruction and took mental notes on what to do. The first step's easy...choosing a group. Hmm. Plank Group sounds good.
Ethan stood up from his skateboard as soon as he felt refreshed, picked up his toy and boarded it up on the nearest wall and made his way towards another small Ravenclaw. A boy this time. Smiles and a wave for this cool dude! And just like what the professor said... "I'll let you try it out after we're done here, okay?" Ethan's not the stingy type. He's cool with sharing his stuff, since he doesn't get to do it all the time back home.
Now for the activity. Planks! Yes. He'll join that group. Ethan waved at another Ravenclaw girl who was already carrying a plank. The Slytherin gave her a thumbs up and carried on towards the pile of wood and got himself a piece. He lifted it without difficulty and returned to the group with a goofy kind of smug smile on his face. Ethan lifted the plank up with right, twirled it with his hand, tossed it in the air, and caught it again with his left hand this time. "This...is so cool." Pleased with himself, he balanced the plank with his finger as he made his toward the Builders Group. "Here you go, guys!" Well away from the group and from anyone, Ethan let the plank tilt and eventually fall from his finger. "Timberrrrrrrrr..." Plonk.
Grinning, Ethan gave the group a salute and got back to the pile of wood for another piece. Quote:

But STILL, best to be careful around BIG guys who said they ATE children. The small brunette was going to keep her EYE on him from now on.
Having already taken the potion, the first year beeeeamed and looked around for a group. Who wanted a super de-duper strong first year, hm? Hooow about that Ravenclaw girl AND skateboard boy? They looked like they needed some strong first year awesomeness FOR SURE!
"Plank people unite!" She annonced as she wandered over to the pile of planks and picked one up like it was NOTHING at all. Feather-light, this was. Did Kyroh SEE how strong she was? She waaaaaved her plank in the air at him and THEN decided that was probably a BAD idea because she could take out a fellow planker and she promptly stopped. STILL. Building stuff was FUN!
Making her way to where the porch builder people were, the tiny eagle dropped her plank down and smiled.
YOU'RE WELCOME! Quote:

She'd have been so much cooler with lying in bed and blowing spit bubbles or bonding with Wanda the worm. Obviously that wasn't happening. She followed a group of students who were heading in the direction she was aiming to go in, and kept an eye on them as she did so. She could probably lift some of them with incredible ease right now, seeing as she'd drank her potion on her way. You know..didn't want to drink it in front of people because she made faces.
Didn't like the particular taste of this or something. Maybe it just didn't agree with her. But whateeeev. SHE WAS ALL COOL.
They were splitting into groups? Right. So she needed to choose one that people she could stand had chosen. And she supposed little Sophie was one of those people she could stand. You know..she didn't bug her or anything, and if she was going to be plank lifting, then so would Elodie. Follow the rugrat, or something like that. "I'm with Sooooophie. Plank stuff." And just to make her point, she tapped the kid on top of her head a couple of times and ducked out of the way as she went for her first plank.
Momentarily, Elodie forgot about the potion and panicked about how it was going to be too heavy for the younger student, but when she had it securely on her shoulder, she remembered and WAS OKAY. Phew. No dead Sophie. Actually, Elodie panicked when she saw another rugrat doing the plank thing and had to keep reminding herself of what this whole thing was and that they were okay and that sitting on the floor and crying over potentially dead students just...wasn't okay. Or normal.
Once she was over that though, she was okay and hoisted one of the planks up, up, and onto her shoulder. She had the urge to lift it onto her head, but she'd wait and get that done on the next one. Maybe she'd get Sophie involved. LITTLE CLAW, LET'S GO PLANK. WHEEE SHE WAS SO STRONG. Sophie threw the plank down on the ground like it was nothing when she got to the back of the hut, and turned to head back around to see a ... very good-looking Slytherin boy doing the same thing and giving her a thumbs-up.
Heeeeeehehehehe. She gave him a thumbs-up right back and proceeded to question where Tobes was.
But she soon forgot about her missing Hufflepuff for little first year Maddie Cooper - the girl had already made a name for herself with this Ravenclaw third year - had joined their squad and looked far too precious waving her plank around like it weighed nothing. "Nice work, Cooper," she nodded on her trek to the pile of planks, staying far away from the members of her group on the way back because they seemed dangerous. But then ELODIE WAS THERE. CAT'S BESTIE WHO WAS NOW HER IN-PROGRESS BESTIE. "Hi Elodieeeeee." Soph was especially excited to be joined by her and instinctively gave her a hug because that's what she would've done with Cat and it was happening before she could stop herself. Oops?
She caaaaaasually detached herself moments later, though, trying not to let it show on her face that she was certain she had just made a mistake, and picked up another plank without looking at Elodie further. She hurried with this one, bouncing a bit in her step and totally psyched at how EASY this was. Merlin. She could get used to this. As she went to put the plank down behind the hut, she checked around her to make sure no one was there and swung it around freely, adding sound effects like sword slashes. "It'd be so wicked to have, like, a sword fight with these now that we're all buff and stuff," Soph thought aloud, grinning as she tossed her plank into the new pile forming behind the hut where the others would build the porch. "Y'know, if like some sort of army charged at us from the forest or something." Just sayin'.
