"Fantasic!" Olivia exclaimed as Mel grabbed the two pieces for her.Putting her wand closely against the large crack in the wood,Olivia once more began tracing over it,the join visibly closing and sealing as she did so.Wiping her hand over the finished product,she smiled with satifaction and took it out of Mels' hands,placing it bottom up on the floor ready for the attachment of the legs. "Thank you so much,it would have taken ages without your help," she grinned at her fixing buddy."Now," she said,looking around at the rest. "I think we can salvage maybe one more table and a couple of chairs,and get that dent out of the filing cabinet," she added,gesturing to the tall metal object by the wall. "Then the scorch marks on the wall,a bit of a tidy up and brush up and think that will be it." Smiling she turned,hands on hips,to face the pile of wood that was no longer recognisable as anything. "This,however,will have to be thrown away and replaced with new stuff."
Grabbing the legs to the table,Olivia carefully held them in place and fixed them back on,shaking each one to make sure it was on firmly.Turning the table over she nodded with approval and set about fixing the remaining chairs.It was shame she couldn't do more with the furniture,but what had been around the blast site was now so splintered even the best witch in the world would have problems fixing them.
Lining everything up once she had finished,she was pleased to see there was at least 2 tables and 4 chairs that the Charms office could get on with.Glancing over at Mel she laughed. "Well,I'm afraid some of you may need to share,as I think that's all we're getting from that lot."
Mel gestured Olivia's Thank you away with her hand
" Really, no need for that, I'm glad I did something, since the office was all blown up, I couldn't have worked, at least now it's habitable!" she said. She then observed how Olivia repaired the remaining furniture, she had studied various levels of Charms but she had never really got into the repairing.
"It's a great work! I think no one could have done it better" Mel said nodding to the 2 tables and 4 chairs
" The rest I think the department can afford to buy.." and she looked at the scorch marks
" time to get that done? Maybe a little magic on the way...?"
