Janelle listened as Professor Stewart explained what they would be doing first. Building a fire. Ok. Maybe they would be brewing a potion by moonlight. So as the professor built a demonstration fire, Janelle took note. She had built a fire without magic before, but she wanted to do it properly........as instructed.



Just then, a word from Echo. Did she want to work together. Janelle turned to the Slytherin with her reply. "I think we're each supposed to make our own fire..........but, that doesn't mean we can't work together." Yeah, this was going to be fun. "I think we'd better go get some wood. We can make our fires right next to each other. That way we can help each other when we need it." Great idea, yeah?

Janelle went up and got some pieces of wood and returned to the spot where she would be building her fire. Hopefully next to Echo. Ready to work, Janelle bent down on one knee and began to arrange her pieces of wood. She peeked up at the professor's arrangement and tried to duplicate it. When she was satisfied, she stood up and surveyed her work. Not bad. Having an idea, Janelle searched around for a couple of small sticks on the ground, making sure they were nice and dry. When the box of matches came around, Janelle took one. Then she struck it against the box until a flame erupted. Moving close to the wood pile, she placed the match against the stick and hoped it would catch. Eventually it did and Janelle placed the stick between the larger pieces of wood. Holding her hair back with her hands, she blew gently until the fire began to spread to the other pieces of wood. Yep, she had a fire. Janelle walked over to Echo and handed her the matches. "Ok partner, it's your turn."
