Alice stood flabbergasted. They had to do what?! Was this professor serious? Alice has never ever done any kind of building in her life. That's why she had elfs, duh. And what's all this nonsense of making sofas. Alice likes Runes, but she never imagined having to get down and dirty, literally. She looked around wondering if the students were going to comply and apparently they were. The hopes of a strike vanished.

Alice sighed. She was a pureblood meaning that she didn't do these kinds of things. People could tell right away by just looking at her well manicured nails. Ah! Her nails, they're going to get ruined. Alice wondered how long it would take to send an owl to her grandparents asking for an elf. Hmm...very intriguing idea, but it wouldn't do.

Finally, resigning to absurd ideas, Alice made her way towards the stacked things in the corner. It would be better if she had someone that actually knew about building a bent...dent...kent...well whatever it's called.
