Olivia had followed the groundskeeper over to the demonstration yet took a few steps away from the fire pit and him. Safety first, she thought. She was definitely glad to be a couple paces away because she did NOT want to lose her eyebrows. Merlin. That'd be awful. Though this task of starting a fire did seem doable.

After watching the demonstration, she set about grabbing a variety of wood splints (small, medium, and large) and then placed them on the ground. Alright. She had to make the structure that the Groundskeeper had showed them. It was like a house tent or tent house? Come shaped tipi looking structure.... Crouching down, she set up the structure with the smallest splints in the middle and the larger ones surrounding it. Okay. It looked good. Yes. Yes.

Then she readied her wand. Incendio. With her wand pointed at the wooden structure in the fire pit, she confidently moved her wand up and then sharply down, "Incendio!"

Had anything happened? Olivia was about to take a step closer when she saw a few sparks. Those sparks soon turned into a small flame that began slowly devouring the wood beside it. Perfect! Fire built. She had some chance of surviving in the woods on her own.
