A large mattress would work well though, or possibly making the ground a feather bed, that would work as well." He said smiling.
He could see Melanie kept looking at him, out of the corner of her eye and he grinned at her. "How about we just fireproof the tents? Wouldn't that be easier?" He asked her arching an eyebrow at her.

He obviously had a problem with her and she wasn't going to stand for being spoken over and made to feel foolish. "Well, I played Quidditch as well and if you knew anything about Muggle toys such as trapolines you would know that they don't keep bouncing FOREVER. But since you seem to have all of the bloody answers to the problems we are facing, why don't you take the lead on the mission." Dora exploded. Then turning back her hair and eyes turning bright red again, "I believe I will wait for Abby and the rest of the Task Force, I cannot work with this insufferable man!! Perhaps I will see if I can be useful somewhere else considering that Mr. Perfect here can solve all your problems." And with that Dora shot sparks from her wand with anger catching her parchment on fire she cried "Aguamenti" and turned on the spot and disappeared before Mel could say anything to convince her otherwise.
"Fire proof tents work of course, but the danger of fire isn't only on the inside, it's also on the outside, there might be wizards trying to play the muggle and set a fire outside.. and if we remember the last Cup..." she made a disgust noise. She was enjoying this talk, things seemed to run smoothly and she preferred to talk to Torq normally like this than to have to stare into his purplelish eyes all the time.
Dora's angry speech and actions left Melanie shocked. She wanted to say something, but Dora didn't give her the chance. She wanted to make both of them to talk like two civilized people but she couldn't either.
She looked in the direction where Dora had disappeared shocked, her mouth slightly open
" What on earth?" she said, she didn't hear the meaningful tone behind Torq's words, she hadn't been paying attention. She wasn't really sure what to do next.... she looked at him, her eyes wide.
" That..." she breathed heavily
" just killed my buzz..." sat back on her chair, annoyed. The protuberance on her belly was getting clearer everyday, like a small bump. Her hair hang on her back bouncing from side to side
" Maybe you should go talk to her, apologize, say that she got you wrong... I don't want people fighting in my division" she said, innocently, really believing he didn't mean any harm.
