That should be illegal or something.
Can't throw hammers or hit anything but nails with them, and can't use the saw. Could they use anything?! Looking at the last picture, she sat there for a moment before actually smiling. She knew this one! It was in her muggle book thing! "That is a...meter box?" That's what it was called right? "Something like that...but you use that saw thing, and it helps cut the wood boards at a straight, precise angle."

She should know. She had WORKED with the item.
"The one you have is the most common kind. It's open at the top, and at the ends." She eyed it. "The slots give the saw its direction."

They are good for when cutting angles legs for chairs or when forming triangular frames, which are the strongest support structure."
folding his hand in front of himself, Patroclus smiled.

Simon smiled and looked at the Professor hoping he had given enough info because he had loads more but didn't want to act like a know it all.
"Very good." Marcus was indeed impressed with the class' knowledge of muggle tools. He thought he might have stumped them with that one. "You will also notice that the mitre box also has a couple of grooves that are on an angle so that if you are making corners in your wood then the mitre box will give you a precise cut."

Crossing her arms in front of her she just sat there. She did NOT want to move. She liked where she was sitting. If he wanted her to move then he was going to have to move her himself.
"Because I said so" Lawson replied frowning at Marie and the way she was sitting in her chair.
Oh how he would love to go over there and grab her by the scruff of the neck and drag her back over to Destiny. But alas he could not manhandle the students.
Which was a shame really.
Instead he walked around her desk so that he was now standing behind her and took out his wand. He placed the 'Glisseo' charm on the floor all the way over to Destiny's desk, he then placed his foot at the back of Marie's chair and gave it a push with foot. He followed behind her chair as she slid back across the room and flicked his wand again to stop her chair once she had reached the desk Destiny was sitting at.

So instead of talking she had gotten out parchment and started writing.....
Hmm Rae still wasn't feeling too well...... Not since Charms... She saw him in there... Hopefully he didn't see HER. That was terrible, worse than terrible. Rae would be mortified if Xylon saw what happened. Maybe if she ate something she would feel better. She could stop by the Kitchens on her way to the seventh floor if he was up to it.
As he was passing one of the desks, he paused to look over the Slytherin girls shoulder. "Perhaps Miss Quirregen you would be able to pay attention in the class if you weren't so busy setting up dates with your boyfriend. Put the note away...now, thank you."
Lawson headed back to the front of the room and turned back to look at the class. "Now you all need to pay careful attention for the next part of the lesson. We are going to first practice hammering a nail into a piece of wood and if you don't listen and observe the demonstration properly then there will be accidents and I will not be happy. Everyone understand?"
