He missed them. Really.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Dylan offhandedly heard Vicky muttering the unsticking charm. The Slytherin frowned deeply. His pronunciation was off...The way the Professor had said the word implied their was a "W" in there...And the way his teammate was saying it...Well, he was sure the "V" was silent.
"I think you're putting too much emphasis on the "V"...I think it was more "we" instead of "ve"" Quote:

"Yeah, I think that's it." Briefly testing by trying to stick the wheel in a random position on the board. "Ahd-high-row." Then bending to try pulling it off, okay it was stuck. "Ah-Wek-sis." Now trying to pry it off, it came out simple. "Yep, yep!" Hmm.. but now that she saw where she randomly stuck that wheel in the middle of the board gave her an idea.
She took the now wheel-free board that could be used for the wall.. Hmm, she wanted to make sure what she did next was a wise thing, "Hey, how about we cut out a little opening, so that we could have like a little window of display so come can come and get their fortunes read?" You know, like those muggle ice cream trucks she use to crave for as a little girl. Maybe it might help them speed faster? She needed some confirmation on that though. "Or at least a little door for one of us to crawl in and out of so they won't feel caged." She liked asking before doing stuff, she didn't want to look stupid for doing something out of line, after all.

Because that would not very good at all. She turned to the slytherin girl as she spoke. Ooh. Now she new how to say the spells right. That was good. Because then maybe she wouldn't like say the thing wrong. "Ahd-high-row" She spoke, not actually doing the spell. But just practising. Because then she would at least know that she could do it right. Hopefully she'd get to stick something together. Like a wheel or something.
Ooh. Slythie girl was speaking again. "I think a door is a good idea..." She mused, because well being caged in wouldn't be very fun. "I mean then we can get out easily..." And it wouldn't be scary. Also if the cart like fell over they would be able to get out. Instead of being trapped in it forever. Seemed like a good idea to her.
The Ravenclaw lad was confounded when the wheel remained stuck on the floorboard despite his incantations. When Dylan spoke he turned his head towards the Slytherin then back onto his notes several times.
"Pronouce V as a W?" Well heck maybe it was force of habit on his part to pronounce Vs just like he would pronounce them in his own name. He repeated the wand movement for the unsticking charm but time uttered the incantation as Dylan suggested.
"Ah-wek-sis".
And just like that, the wheel came off with his hand.
He shot Dylan a look of pleasant surprise and gave the Slytherin a thumbs up. Ok,
now he's got his spells straightened out.
He propped the wheel up and grabbed hold of the wood that would serve as the axle
"Adhaero" he uttered with the proper wand stroke onto one end of the axle then drove the narrow end into the center of the wheel. The spell work, and the wheel was now stuck on one end of the axle. Vickers accio'd the other wheel and repeated the same sticking charm on the opposite end of the axle, attaching the wheel in turn.
Now they got a working pair of wheels!
Vickers repeated the steps with the other pair of wheels and the axle and soon enough they had a set that would support the front and the back of the cart.
He looked at the Slytherin Captain mentioning about cutting the boards for walls.
"That would be good. And we can just attach three walls onto the cart--two sides and the back-- then leave the front open" Keep the design simple yeah?
