It's definitely better than staring at just this piece of wood.''

What in the world was that loud crack? Once again, Adi was alarmed for Hannah. "What just happened?'' he asked. It had to be the elbow she was massaging. "What's wrong with your elbow? Is it gonna be okay?'' Her next action seemed to have answered that last question for Hannah was back in action. That's when he heard a croak near his feet. Looking down he saw Gus. Adi's eyes widened. Oh no! If Hannah saw his toad, there was no telling what she would do.

Fortunately, she had success with her boat. Hoping to further distract her, the Hufflepuff said, ''Awesome job!'' He hastily raised his wand, hoping Gus would hop away. "Lignum Navicula!'' Tap! Nothing. He pushed images of a squashed Gus out of his mind and pictured his boat from class. "Lignum Navicula!'' Tap! A boat sprang up in front of him. "Looook! I did it! Just as you said!'' Maybe Hannah should tell him that before he tried any spell.

Grinning, he suggested, ''Should we try it again? Just to be sure we've got the hang of it?''
"Totally." She couldn't agree more and mostly she just wanted to keep working/talking to help distract her from the pain. She did not need to worry about what was going on with her body just now. Hannah would figure that out once she was finished with this homework assignment.

"I wish I knew what just happened." She was falling apart!!! That was what was going on. She didn't to be all dramatic or share any vulnerability with Adi so she tried to make it seem like it wasn't that big of a deal when in reality she was freaking out about this whole mess. "It just hurts. It keeps wanting to crack and pop for some reason." Hannah tried to think aof what she could have done for it to be hurting and justify the soreness, but nothing came to mind. Plus, she was young... she should be a bit more resilient than she was at the moment. "I'm fine." Not really, but moving on.

This whole cheering on thing was actually kind of nice. "Thanks Adi." and she flashed him a rare smile. This actually wasn't so bad after all, but she of course kept that to herself. He did the boat himself. "Fantastic!" She actually felt proud of his progress. "I told you, you could do it." She had actually taught somebody something and that was a pretty cool feeling to have.

"Yeah, I'll try some more. You never know what could come up on those newts." That was something else that she didn't need to be stressing over either. "Lignum Navicula!'' A boat appeared on the first try. Her elbow was still killing her, but she tried her best to pay it no mind. "Reverto." Staring at the wood and imagining a boat once again she tapped the wood. "Lignum Navicula!'' A boat the perfect size appeared in front of the seventh year once more.

"I think we got it under control." Unless, he wanted to practice some more in which case Hannah would understand. "Wanna give it a go in the lake and see how well we did?
