Without waiting for any comments, questions or concerns the sixth year got to work moving the rocks around and moving them into a ring. "There's that." She didn't have time to twidle her thumbs and she hoped her housemates would get it together. She grabbed the instructions to read what they had to do next.
Well... "
I know. You're not the only one." Kat didn't like doing things the Muggle way when they could just flick their wands and BAM! Campfire made. Right? "
But what could we do? It's Muggle Studies..." Kat shrugged. The class wouldn't be named that way if they weren't supposed to learn how the Muggles lived by, right? Plus Hadley wouldn't be so amused by the use of magic in her class, unless it was necessary. Magic actually wasn't too necessary because yeah, making fire just apparently didn't need it.
Please. It would've made everything easier.

"Can someone try and light the fire with the flint or something? I don't think I'm strong enough to get a good spark," he admitted. Normally he wouldn't admit that he was weak like that, but look at him. He wasn't any Superman or anything. He had yet to hit puberty and wasn't about to waste time acting like he had the ability to light a fire by himself.
Kat decided to help the others fix the teepee pyramid thing with the twigs and branches. She knelt down and did the last bit of it, plus the finishing touches... then she looked at the perimeter stone thing. Everything was actually in place but final touches were necessary. Kat wanted everything sort of perfect, you know? How perfectionist of her. Lighting up the fire though. "
I'll do that, but I don't think we're allowed to light it up yet." Or were they? Kat looked at Professor Hadley for the final instructions.
"
Oh and you did great, helping with the campfire." Kat was grateful. Her Slytherins were awesome and she couldn't imagine how much she'd miss them after she graduates.
