Sarah headed to the towerpatch, it was nice and outdoors, yet not too far from the dorms where she was heading next. She looked around before choosing a table to sit at. She placed her satchel in front of her and took out a pouch from there as well as a piece of newspaper. She spread the newspaper on the table before her and using her wand she began to strip off the bark with her wand.

The shavings fell liberally to the newspaper below. Although the shavings were fast covering the Daily Prophet, Sarah took no notice, as scrapping off bark was hard work. She did not want to venture too deep into the wood after all, yet making it too shallow would not help either.

Finally she had made a 360 rotation of the wood and it was done. Sarah put the wood aside and folded over the newspaper. Then she opened the pouch and using the newspaper as a funnel she lifted it up, allowing the shavings to slide into the pouch. It was getting late and she had other homework to do. So Sarah closed the pouch and placed it in an outside pocket of her satchel, along with the wood. She then folded the newspaper incase she needed it and closed up her satchel. She picked up her satchel and headed to the dorms.
