Good, good. They were doing well so far. Well, most of them were. A couple of them didn't quite get it straight away. But there was nothing wrong with that.
Smiling at them all as she walked around to inspect their coracles, Isabelle flicked her wand out again and moved over to an open piece of grass. Swishing it in a square shape, a large plastic tub suddenly seemed to rise up out of the grass. Once it was stable, she filled it with water before turning to face the kids again.
"Now, when we get to the game later, I have to warn you - the coracles you are making now won't be the ones you use every time," that wasn't clear at all, but she'd explain more later.
"For now though, so you feel more comfortable, you can test out how water-tight the things you're making are by placing them in this tank. And sitting in them if you wish. That way you can check where you've gone wrong, if indeed you have at all, and what areas you need to concentrate on to make them lake-worthy." While I make a mental note of who I'm going to place in teams later on. Quote:

She turned the boat over and smoothed her hand over its exterior, looking for leaks. A hollow thing floats better
Splinters?
"You should be fine," Issy reassured the Gryffindor, walking over to where she stood. Feeling the boat the girl had made she nodded.
"It feels quite smooth to me. And I doubt any would get through your clothes anyway."
