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'. Quote:

The Slytherin quietly got himself a plank and held it with ease, like he was holding a wand, and hid it behind his back with the top poking above his head. Not so discreet, actually.
With a mischievous grin on his face, the Slytherin jumped in front of the girls and revealed the plank behind him. “En garde!” You know…sword fight? With a plank? Hehehe.
But hold on. Where are the other boys? YO WE NEED MORE PLANKERZZZ. Quote:

What better way to show off her strength that by carrying heavy stuff? It made sense to her.
Plus, the people that were in that group were people that she had never met before. Maybe she could meet some more cool people. It would be a win, win for her. AJ strolled over to where her group was assembled. "Hey guys. My name's AJ." Just so they knew. Were they ready to get started because she was ready to throw some planks around. Quote:

Even if she wasn't the strongest tool in the tool box.
Arista walked on over to where her group was assembled, and introduced herself, "Hello everyone. My name is Arista!". Like all of her other introductions this one included a curtsy. After the intro, she picked up her first plank and saw the others sword fights. These people knew how to make stuff fun! She walked over to where she saw the other girl (Sophie) toss her own plank.
She tossed the plank she was holding into the pile before jogging back over to her other group mates. Okay she moved one now could she be in the sword fight? With her first plank up on her shoulder, Els made her way over to where the others had put theirs with eaaase. This potions was going its job and she was ALL FOR BEING STRONG. Though, she was sure that afterwards...she'd just want to lie in her bed and sleep because ugh manual labour. At least she hadn't painted her nails earlier. Or so..she didn't remember. Nope. No nail painting had happened, and she checked on the state of her nails as she headed back to the group, after a shorter rugrat. "Righto. So. AJ and Arista. New group buddies! Hi. I'm Elodie." And she ALREADY knew Ethan.
She knew him well because he'd called her a variant of a parental name at the feast. PARENTAL. She was not a mother. She was not his mother. But she gave his hair a fluff anyway, and then gave Sophie a glance as she collided into her and gave her a hug. Well. Okay. Hi there, kid. Elodie smiled down at her and nodded. "Hiiiii, Sophie!" It was hard to try meet her level of enthusiasm. Sophie was...one of those kids, huh? Bounce, bounce, bounce. Bounce, bounce, ENTHUSIASM. It was fine though. Elodie could deaAAAL.
Kinda.
With a raise of one eyebrow, she looked back down at the planks of wood and then up at Sophie. A sword fight? Was that...possible with the planks? "Or you could try carry five planks at a time...." Just..a thought? Picking up another plank, Elodie nodded. "Sword fights could woooork." Yep, yep it could. Whilst the group deliberated or..started up their sword fight, she traipsed off with the plank on her shoulder, only to dump it with the others and head back to them a minute or so later.
Yeah. That Ethan was...peculiar one.
