Hmmm... Smoke... Sophie tapped her pencil against her nose, mulling over the question at hand. There was that saying about where there's smoke, there's fire. But it was a little overused...
A brilliant idea suddenly slapped her over the head. Snagging her fingers and raising her arm into the air, she leapt from her seat. "SMOKE SIGNALS!!!" She felt her outburst had been a little out of the blue, so she hurried to explain. "Like, if a Muggle was stuck on an island in the middle of the ocean, they could start a big fire that could create tons of smoke. Most ships nearby would be able to see the smoke above the horizon and would recognize it as a signal for help. You know, like a flare thingy or something!!
Hastily realizing how awkward she sounded, Sophie plopped back into her seat. Her face burned a bright red and her hands shook a little bit. Whoops... Maybe she shouldn't be so spontaneous next time... |
