With Ava's and Olly's help. "Good idea," Davie mumbled to Blaise. Yes, neither of them had the required muscles, and Ava was a girl (but a SMART girl) and Olly was a cool guy so... together, the four of them could make this happen?
"Oi Olly, Ava," Davie called out to the still-cleaning pair. He wandered closer to them with his trash bag still in hand. "Do you guys want to help Blaise and I make a tire swing? We need some string or a chain or something... dunno if you've found any in your cleaning..." But if they helped MAKE the swing, then they could SWING on the swing too. So he added that. "Could be fun when we're done."
Olly felt pretty good about how much leaves he'd raked up. He'd helped his dads before when they raked in the fall. Well not so much helped as caused problems and made more of a mess by jumping in leaf piles but he'd been young. The point was that he knew that they would do next so that's what he did. Olly grabbed a garbage bag and lifted his pile of leaves into it. There. He didn't know what Moxley wanted him to do with it. He was about to ask her when the sound of his name distracted him.
He looked for the source and saw Davie waving him and Ava over. Olly set his bag of leaves down gently by the wall and hurried over. He could do something with that later. Davie and Blaise were working on something much more exciting. A tire swing? That sounded so cool.
"There should be something we can use somewhere around here." He heard Ava suggest that they could conjure something, but this was Muggle Studies so he didn't think that was an option. Instead, he searched around the trash. He thought he'd remembered seeing a rope. Or maybe he'd just imagined it. But it was certainly something he would expect to find in this mess.
Oh, he'd been right! Olly spotted the end of a rope sticking out from under a small pile of leaves. He pulled, glad that it was a lot longer than just the end he'd seen. Hopefully it was long enough. Olly grabbed the leaves and added them to his bag before heading back over to the tire swing crew. He held out the rope.
"Is this long enough?"
