"Alright, let's see what we have," she said, digging around in her bag. "I have some spare parchment," she said, laying that down on the grass. "Which we can make impervious to water, so that's not a problem," she said, digging around more. "I have a napkin too," she said, taking that out. "Or, we can take duplicate some fabric from the bag," she suggested. "What do you guys think?"

But first he tied one corner of the napkin to the top end of one stick and the other corner to the bottom of the stick. Then he stretched out the napkin and tied the other corners to the top and bottom ends of the second stick. He was now holding up the sail.

"Now we can use the shrinking spell to reduce the size of this contraption." Leaning forward, he waved his wand in a V shaped and said the words to the incantion, "Reducio". A purple beam of light streamed out of wand and over the makeshift sail and right before their eyes it began to shrink.

When it got down to the size that fit Lux's boat, Sander ended the shrinking spell. Now all he had to do was attach the sticks to the boat. Tapping the bottom end of one stick to the boat, Sander said the incantation to the Sticking Charm,"Adhaero" and lo and behold the stick was now attached to the boat. He repeated the steps with the second stick before sitting back.

"Here's your sail boat, Lux," Sander handed the boat back to Lux.

It was a relief that Sander and Tessa weren't mad at her for being upset - in fact they didn't fault her at all - but that did not really help her feel totally better about the whole situation. Even though she was only 12, she should be more adult and deal with things better. Sometimes it was hard though, especially when she thought someone who meant a lot was forgetting about her, and Lux really looked up to Tessa. Watching her and Sander work on her sail, she tried not to feel bad anymore, but it was hard when they were being so nice to her after she had walked away from them.

"Thank you so much, guys. I'm sorry I was such a big baby." Taking the boat back from Sander, she admired the amazing job they had done. Wow, her boat looked even more awesome now. "I want to race now!"
