Reaching the "classroom" area, Janelle saw that she was not the first to arrive. "Hello Professor Stewart, Professor Newton, my fellow classmates." Janelle was in a rather good mood because these were two classes that she really enjoyed. Hopefully this would be a fun class and as always, she was ready for anything. Now she just had to wait for class to begin.

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."
"sounds good to me" she said while making her way over to get some peices of wood. Stacking them like a box her wood was starting to look like a little house.
"cool" looking over at some other students they seemed to be putting dry little sticks in the middle of theirs. Echo followed suit and added some to hers.
Echo Watched as Janelle got her going
"ohh nice fire Janelle" now it was time for her to light hers. Grabbing a match Echo struck it on the side of the box thingy, like she just saw Janelle do. It caught fire. She placed it carefully and quickly in the middle of her house and it started to burn.
"ohhh fun, that was my first time building a fire" she kind of wanted to do it again. he he he
Moving closer to her newly made fire it instantly started to warm her up.
"ohhh thats so much better" nice and toasty.
