When Jack mentioned needing a flashlight, she opened her mouth to recommend using 'lumos', but the Gryffindor had already started towards the front to get a muggle flashing. She guessed that he wanted to try the muggle experience of this lab, which didn't bother her at all. As she waited for him to come back, she began to doodle a few little hearts on her paper, but she didn't get to finish her third heart completely before Jack came back. She sat her pen down on the table and watched as he tried to figure out how to turn the flashlight on, letting a few giggles out here and there. Was it really THAT hard to figure out how to turn one of those things one?

"Hmmm," she pondered as she looked back down at the instructions. "We have to tape the graph paper on a firm surface, like a book." After saying that, she dug through her own bag and pulled out her charms book. That would work, right? She took Jack's graph paper, and then she used the spell-o-tape he just used on the flashlight to tape the graph paper on her charms book. "There," she announced as she sat the book on the table.

"Now, we have to move it in front of the flashlight until a medium sized circle appears." She picked the book back up after reading the next step, and then she placed it in front of the flashlight and moved it back and forth until what she thought a perfect medium-sized circle appeared.

Jack smiled. "Looks good!" he said. "Ok, now we need to measure how far away from the flashlight the paper is..." he said, looking at the instructions and using his pointer finger to keep his spot on the page.

He took the ruler and held it up so he could read it easier. "That looks like...just a bit over half a foot. So about 7 inches away," he said. That made sense...after all their flashlight was pretty bright and needed to be just a BIT futher away in order to get the correct sized circle.

"Now we need to outline the circle on the paper," he said, glancing down at the instructions again. "Do you want to do that?" he asked with a smile. This experiment was actually pretty easy, and fun!
