Easy as pie.
"We had some dueling earlier, and now I think we're going to try to see just how much load bearing we can actually do. You game for it?"
She didn't need to be told twice. Nodding to Mo's words, Cassia's eyes darted to the two piles Mo mentioned. "
Got that!" Sounded easy and non complicated. She was glad she picked this group.
And did she miss the dueling? Apparently.
Was
that a challenge? Whether it was or was not the seventh-year got all geared up about it. The potion was responsible for the physical part but it was all her being pumped otherwise. "
Count me in," she said crouching by the old pile and lifting two planks up. She figured she could start with two for now and see how many she could manage.

Ooh, Ethan the musical. Cassia flashed a bright smile at the fellow Slytherin. At first he looked a little bit out of place with the wood planks and not his musical instrument but it probably was the fact that she had that impression of him, being the musical boy. "
That's the spirit," She commented on his statement. "
I could say the same, you know," Of course only because she had gulped that potion down. And she supposed it was the same for him as well.

Lovely little creatures they were, especially when they started offering cookies. She did like cookies.
But of course now she was here to work and could see that some had already gotten started. Oh Merlin just how late WAS she? Lex stood there for a moment, not sure what activity she was meant to join--hang on, this was heavy duty kinda work. It made sense for the Professor to have mentioned the potion now and the Gryffindor fished around in her robe until she'd found hers. There was a quick gulp and a moment to get over the dizzy feeling before she proceeded to have another look around.
CASSIA!!
Well that settled that. Lex walked over to the group with planks, not thinking to question it, she stood next to the bestie and looked around with a wide grin. "SO. What're we doing and how can I help?"
And look! Lex!
Cassia wanted to flail to draw the gryffindor's attention but that was kind of hard seeing that she had two planks of wood. And waving with them didn't seem like the smartest and safest idea. You wouldn't know whose head might get knocked while she attempted to wave with those. But hey, she didn't have to, her bestie already spotted them. GOOD! She had a good pair of eye, this lioness did.
"
We're moving planks from this pile to that one," she answered repeating Mo's words but in gist. "
And seeing how many one can load!" She added. Wouldn't that be Lex's fav part. "
See you on the other side," She said with a grin before starting jogging with the two planks of wood.
Which was hard, mind you. She might or might have not slowed down a couple of seconds later.
