Another flick of her wand and she'd already gathered those four wheels they needed. Were they even necessary? Because they could just Accio the cart from the finish line anyway, but the whole point of the activity would be lost. Activity. Why were they doing this in Divination to begin with?
Speaking of Accio'ing stuff...
...that handle over there would be a nice addition to their cart, or soon-to-be cart, but a swish of her wand solved that problem. Now they had four wheels, a handle...and...
THE FLOOR!
Kate smiled and nodded in approval, "Excellent!" he should pick those pieces, the wood ones, because he was pulling the cart...but, "And the little walls?" because it had to have some of that too, and it was better if they had everything in place to stick it all together...or most of the stuff anyway.
Blimey, she was getting busy with the wand, wasn't she? In the time Spike had chosen and dragged back his one bit of wood, Kate had accumulated four wheels and the handle. He nodded approvingly as he put down his bit of wood. "Nice work," he said with a smile.
...as for the walls? "On their way!" he said with a crooked grin. "I wanted to check you were happy with the size of the floor first." Because that would dictate the size of the walls afterall... And he noted that she said
little walls. He'd certainly support that. "Be back in a mo..."
And with that he was off again to the wood pile, on the hunt for wall pieces. He quickly located two identical pieces that would do for the two sides. They were possibly a bit long, but they could always make a style feature that. The back piece was proving a bit more difficult. All the pieces seemed too big, or too small, or too narrow. Basically, just wrong. And he wanted their wagon to look good as well as work...
And then he spotted a piece near the bottom that looked like it could work. He tugged it out, falling backwards are he did so. It was worth it though, as it was just the piece he was looking for.
Three walls sorted! He headed back to Kate once more.
"Ta-dah!"
Okay, maybe that was a bit pre-emptive. They had to stick it together yet. She was good with sticking charms, yes?
