As much as it pained her they couldn't use magic.

She'd offered to get the rocks but Schuyler had already taken care of that bit and they were already gathering the wood. Anya wanted to do the whole first few sticks thing so Lex decided she'd just help Schuyler with the rocks to start the base forming or WHATEVER it was they were doing.

Alexa started on the opposite side. "How big are we making this? Big enough for all of us while being too small to share with anyone else?" Yes, she liked this idea. Lions only. Nothing personal, it was just a thing.

She tried laying the rocks are evenly in the circle as possible. Had to make it just right for the sticks.

Oh. Okay. Orders. "I'll help with the rocks." Tessa offered with a feeble smile. She was still a bit confused on what they were going to be doing but decided she'd take it one bit at a time. What were they doing with the rocks again?

"We already did start," she informed the Karina girl from the common room. Did she not see that? People were gathering rocks and sticks and doing stuff with them and whatnot.

Not Alice, obviously.

What next?

In the end Sarah did not give that glare, rather keeping her thoughts to herself.

Then Anya began, Sarah was glad. She really wanted to get a move on with this, and her mates needed direction. Yet at the same time she did not want to be seen as bossy. So when Anya began with directions, Sarah felt relieved. "I'll do whatever is required..." she said. IN fact she could probably do all. She began to gather rocks,

She moved on to sorting out the smaller-sized wood twigs and stuff since Tag could probably handle the rest of the big ones just fine, and she glanced up then to see what the others were doing and noticed some people not really helping much. Like Alice, who was saying something about starting. Penelope chucked a small piece of wood at her foot. "Yeah, so start, Captain. Stop being lazy." She grinned as she said it, so it should be clear she wasn't mad or super serious or anything. But seriously, Cap'n needed to get off her lazy bum and participate.

Everyone had some skeleton of their campfire already, but they weren't even past the discussing phase.

Someone had to fix that.

Slipping both of her hands as if she was cold--and she WAS cold, so it wasn't really acting--she grabbed her wand firmly (her pockets were enchanted with undetectable extension charm, of course, so she didn't look like she was holding a wand or directing it). She was going to examine others' rocks once again, but was distracted by the Some-slavic-country's boy's funny action. He... he was silenced? HAH! She didn't know who did it, but she wanted to congratulate the person. Team-mate and cute or not, the boy gave her chills from time to time. They weren't exactly friends either, so it WAS funny.

...speaking of which...

Taking advantage of the commotion (or rather silence), she turned only a fraction to direct her wand better at Gryffindor area and cast a silent "Evanesco!" charm on their rocks and whatever they had got so far to make a campfire. It was an advanced charm, but she wasn't chosen to represent Beauxbatons to fail either.

Please, accuse someone random and start a brawl, over-brave creatures?
