Look at her now, hammering away with the best of them. Hopefully there would be no injuries today, but it was okay since she had experience.
Oooh, he had discovered her secret. LOL. "Sebastian taught me. You remember Sebastian from class during Fourth Year, right?" That had been one of the best Ancient Runes lessons ever because she got to be a princess even if it wasn't Ariel. She would have been the best Ariel ever, and the only time she really got to be was because of that stupid evil book. Lux hated that book. At least she never had to see it again.
And it was time for the string!! She was so ready for that because her second tin can had a hole in it. Grabbing her piece, she threaded it through one of the holes before securing it with a snazzy knot. The same thing was done on the other side and voila. Tin can phone.
"Let's test these out!"
Zhenya watched again as Lux finished off her hammering. Okay... well, Zhenya could do it. She could. So with her left hand she held the nail in the centre of the bottom of the tin can, with the other hand, she picked up her hammer with her right hand, and hovered it over the top of the nail. She did some very slow and careful taps, but after about 15 of them, the nail finally punctured the tin can. Cool! She did it! Sheeeeeee nailed the tin can without nailing her finger off! Next tin. She grabbed the next tin, with her left hand again held the nail in the centre of the bottom of the tin, and with her right she hammered away at it. She tried to do slightly bigger and harder hammers this time, but voila, it worked. 7 hammers and the nail went through. WOOT!
Zhenya put the hammer down and admired her handiwork. She wasn't sure she'd ever really try using a hammer again, after all she was a witch with a wand, but learning these crafty muggle skills was very interesting, and perhaps necessary if she was ever in an emergency and required to use a hammer. No, she couldn't think of any reason why she would have to but... you never knew.
