Zhenya grabbed the other two tin cans and put the string through one, tying it in a knot and tugging it to see if it was going to come through the hole, which it didn't. She tried again with the other side, giving it a tug, and it stayed in. COOL! Well, now her tin can phone was done, she waited for Cinna to tie her strings in. Then they could practice them. Zhenya had no idea what it would do, having never used a telephone or a tin can phone before. But she looked forward to it.
Now that they were done they could get to work on their phones. The Gryffindor tied her cans together checking to make sure that the string wasn't going to slip through the holes. Perfect! She looked over at Zhenya. "Ready to try these things out? Stay here and I'll keep going until the string gets tight, okay? Hold your end up to your ear and I'll talk to you. Cinna took off to the other end of the room. She stopped once the string got tight. She grinned and held the tin can to her mouth, "Testing, testing 1..2..3.... Hello Z. Come in Z. This is C. Can you here me?" She might be giggling like a little kid. She was kind of having too much fun right now.
