Did Maisey catch a little bit of a smile from Professor Carton? Why yes she did, and she could not have been more thrilled. She didn’t know but it was always funny to her to see some professors, especially the more serious ones smiling. Even the smallest of smiles. She also enjoyed listening to the others' answers too. It was like everyone was just so smart. Or they had really good ideas as their answers.
Oh… they were building stools today. How neat. She really hoped that they would be able to keep it when they were finished.
She already had everything she needed laying out in front of her. All she needed was the tape measure and a hammer, just in case she really wanted to do this the magical way she had done it the muggle way several times. She took two poles and moved them closer to her, in front of her on the workbench. Laying them parallel to each other. She took the measuring tape and at 8.5 inches from the bottom, she made a small visible mark. Doing the same with the other pole. Next she picked up one of the small planks and four nails. Placing the plank at the mark she had made on the poles, she lined it up. Using her wand to hammer in the nails to the poles and plank. ”Malleus!” Tapping her wand on the nails one by one until that side was put together.
She took the other two poles, Measured to the correct length, and made a mark there on each of the poles. With the other small plank she nailed the pieces together just as before. She used her wand and said ”Malleus!” and tapped the nails with her wand again until all of the nails were in. Now she had two pieces that looked exactly alike. Following the next part of the instructions, she just about forgot where she was in the instructions but after rereading them she found her place and continued work on the stool. She turned the piece over where the nailed side was facing down.
She then measured 7 inches from the bottom right side of the leg, she made a mark there. She even measured the space between the mark she just made and the small plank she just attached. It was right at an inch and a half. She took the medium sized plank next, lined it up, ”Malleus!” As she tapped the nail at the top with her wand. With another ”Malleus!” she tapped the nails again this time at the bottom. She repeated the process of steps 6 and 7 to the other piece.
She faced the leg up so the nailed sides were up. She took the measuring tape again and measured 7 inches from the bottom and marked the spot. She lined up the marks on the left and right with the planks. Then she nailed everything together and created the base. She stood the stool up on the workbench, placed the large plank on top of the base. She checked the overhang to make sure it was even and at the half inch mark, once she decided that everything was straight and even she took the last of her nails and nailed them into all four corners and one at each side.
Finally she was done, and feeling quite proud of herself.
