He frowned at Miranda for a moment, wondering what on earth would cause her to go so crazy like that.

“It’s fine just don’t do it again or I will take points off you next time.”


It seemed that everyone was ready to move onto the next stage and Marcus was happy to oblige them. “Okay this time we are going to practice sawing a piece of wood. Now I want you all to use the mitre box as guides. I don’t think any of you are ready to do this free hand as much as some of you think you are.”

He walked back up to the front of the room, where he placed a piece of wood into the mitre box. “Rest your non dominant hand atop the mitre box to keep it in place and then place the saw into the groove of the mitre box.” He paused for a moment to demonstrate to the class what he was doing. “Now to saw the wood, it is a push and pull action with your hand.”

Again he demonstrated to the class on what to do, after a minute he had managed to cut the piece of wood in half. “Okay off you go.”


William smiled nodding, "Thank you Sir." he said taking the jar and looking at it. Putting down his hammer he opened it and took some cream on his fingers before rubbing it on his hand. He could feel it cool then warm and sighed. Smiling again he nodded his thanks once more and looked on as Lawson continued on with the lesson. As long as he didn't hurt himself anymore he'd be fine he thought flexing his hand experimentally.

He needed to get the nail out of the wood before sawing or else he'd have a problem. Picking up his hammer he glared at it and turned it around to the pointy end - the claw - and squinted as he put it to the nail. He had to dig in a bit before the claw thingy grasped the nail before pulling at it. Slowly it came out with a small squeaking sound but it was out. And without him hurting himself either. Score one for him.

Now for sawing he thought sighing in his mind as he looked at the box, the one that would help with the sawing. It looked weird he thought holding it in his hand and looking it over. But he was determined not to hurt himself, especially with the sharp pointy thing on the table. That was all he needed a nasty cut and a trip to the nurses. Not going to happen he mused as he put the box on the table and placed his bit of wood inside it. It looked like some kind of alien device he mused, a smirk appearing on his face before a look of concentration appeared in his blue eyes as he held the mitre box with his right hand, the left holding the saw. With a small grunt he began pushing and pulling the saw watching as it began cutting into the wood.

Pulling and pushing was hard work he mused, wishing he could use the Diffindo spell he was more used too. Muggles had it hard he thought as the wood finally splintered and it was straight on the line of the box. His arm was sore though.
