She didn't push further- she figured the ideas would be quite mischievous.

"Alright, I already have an idea," she said, and walked over to one of the nearer trees. Instead of trying to swing over the lake, and risk getting wet, she was just going to swing. She cast a spell that lengthened the rope/vine and then tossed one end up and over a sturdy looking branch. Once it had dropped down, she took the two ends and made a large knot. With a grin, she grabbed the rope and hopped up- her feet on the knot and her hands holding the rope. Using her body's momentum she swung. "Sander, you have to try this!" she called out, partially forgetting that this was for homework. At least the rope had passed its test.

Soon, she hopped off and, after cleaning up the vine, she knew it was time to work on the wood. "Lignum Navicula," she murmured the spell name over and over as she approached the wood. She was ready.

Sander had just completed practicing the incantation to changing his piece of wood into a boat. He was now prepared to cast the spell. He stared down at the piece of wood lying on the grass, and pictured it changing into a small boat. Sander even knew what the boat would look like because he had the image of the boat in his mind. Keeping all thoughts away except for that one image in his mind, Sander picked up his wand, tapped the wood with his wand and just as he was about to say the incantation, "Lignum Navicula" he heard Tessa calling out to him and the image in his mind dissolved.

He turned to hear her ask him to come and try out the strength of the rope which she had just transfigured from a vine. She had it draped over a branch and she was swinging on it. He looked up and laughed at her, "If I do that, I'm more likely to break that branch, but what the heck I'll give it a try after we're done with the assignment," Sander called out to her.

'Now can you stop interrupting me all the time? I do need to concentrate here you know,' Sander grumpily thought to himself as he looked at Tessa but then he heard her laugh and instantly his grumpiness disappeared.

Turning his attention back to the piece of wood, Sander resumed his concentration again. Like before, he blocked out all sounds and cleared his mind of all thoughts except the image of the boat. He pictured the piece of wood changing into that boat.

Keeping that image solely in his mind, Sander picked up his wand, tapped the piece of wood and said the incantations to the spell, "Lignum Navila" and watched as the piece of wood, began to change form. Its edges began to curve and its middle began to hollow out....and soon lying on the grass in front of Sander was a small wooden boat.

"I did it, Tessa. It took a lot longer than expected but I managed to transfigure the piece of wood into a boat,' he called out Tessa, excited that despite the initial distraction and interruption, he managed to cast the spell successfully.
