So, he thought she was insane?
She'd give him insane...
Lawson eyed Miranda with a raised eyebrow for a moment longer before moving away.
He would have to keep a close eye on that one, he had the feeling she wasn't done causing trouble.

I know itīs a stupid question...but I canīt get that thought out of my head..." *blink blink* big blush....
"Because the mitre box is made from tougher material. The blade on the saw is designed to only cut through wood" he said wearily.
At least it was a decent question.

"Professor?" She paused, "Do you need hugs?"
He really looked like he need hugs.
Lawson looked at Celandine preparing himself to answer another question on sawing wood but instead the question took him totally by surprise.
"Oh...er...no thanks Celandine. I think I'll be alright now. Thanks for the offer though."
As much as he appreciated the sentiment it was not hugs that he could go for right now.

Glancing around the room he winced sympathetically as Lawson finally shouted - loudly. Not making it look like he'd been effected, even though he had been he hesitatingly put up his hand.
"Sir, would you like a chocolate frog? You help me with my hand, I'd like to help you." He asked in a kind voice. He had enough of them in his bag.
Ooops he must have really freaked the kids out.
"Thanks William but not right now, maybe after the class."
Oh yeah wouldn't that be a sight, Marcus Lawson trying to show the students muggle tools while on a sugar high.
He wasn't in the mood to be fired just yet.

Simon didn't want to Humour the Professor, he wanted to do it free hand. "But it's..." He started then stoped and counted too 10 before putting the wood in the Mitre box. "Okay then, if I really must." And with that he got his saw and started to saw as fast as he could thought the wood, within a few minutes he had done it. "See that was easy." Simon smiled.

"Professor how are we driving you insane?" Simon asked as he continued to saw whilest looking at the Professor, he was a Professional at sawing, he had done it loads of times. "Professor can I please do this free hand?" He said as he turned to looked at how his sawing was coming along. "How many pieces do you want it cutting into?"
As Simon went on and on, Lawson kept on taking deep breaths while trying to keep the smile plastered on his face.
And the kid wondered why they were driving him insane. The boy had been asking him the same question for the past twenty minutes.
"Simon read my lips. No. You. Can't. Saw. The. Wood. Free. Hand. You will use the mitre box just like everyone else okay?"
How much longer before this lesson is finished?

WHAT!?
And there it was...
He wanted her to sit next to Miranda? That girl seemed just as crazy as Destiny when it came to these tool things. There was NO way she was sitting over there.
Nope, not gonna do it. She would rather take her chances sitting next to her crazy friend.
"Um thanks but no thanks Professor. I would rather stay here and take my chances with Destiny." At least she knew she would be able to bribe Destiny with chocolate if she started to act all wonky again.
Whoa!
Maybe it was Lawson she had to worry about getting all wonky. The man seemed to have totally lost his mind here.
What's wrong with us? she thought. He's the one giving the student's dangerous tools to play with and he wonders what is wrong with them when they don't know how to use them. The question should be what's wrong with him. What else did he expect a quittitch beater to use a hammer for, or a crazy girl to use a saw for, not to mention the nutty boy with the saw. And then he wonders why Marie doesn't want to sit in the same place for more than five minutes. She doesn't want to become a victim of one of these crazed students and their not safe for children tools.
Marie watched as Lawson walked around the room barking at the students. Maybe he forgot to take his medication today. Maybe he needed someone to get it from the healer for him. "Professor, do you need me to see if the healer can bring you a calming draught? You seem a little tense for some reason today." Yes, she would help him out if needed. Then she would be able to get out of class and not have to worry about getting in trouble for leaving.
She quickly put a piece of wood in the mighty box and started cutting away at it. Yep, best to look busy so Professor Meanie doesn't blow a gasket again.
"Thought you might see it my way" he said with a small smile on his face. Well at least Marie seem to be able get him to see the amusing side to this fiasco of a class.
Oh for the love of Merlin, he throws one little wobbly and they're all ready to cart him off to the loony bin. "Thanks for your concern Marie but I think I'll be okay now." He knew she just wanted to get out of the class and he wasn't feeling very obliging right now.

Flinging his hand up suddenly, Jake grinned at Lawson whilst his other hand dropped the saw which clattered sideways on the splintered wood. "SIIIIIR! Ddddo we get to uuuse electric d-d-drills?"
And THEN Jake heard Simon... and he glaaaaaaaared at him.
GLARE.
And trust Jake to be the one to bring that up.
Lawson placed his hands onto the desk and ducked his head and let out a long drawn out sigh. "Yes unfortunately you do."
He was going to regret this.
He just knew it.
Raising his head, Marcus looked at the class and with resignation and picked up the tool he had been very reluctant to put in these kids hands. "This is a
power drill it is the easiest way to screw a screw into a piece of wood. Now these drills run on batteries so there will be no problems with cords or electricity."
He paused for a moment to take a deep breath, "Okay you will each find a power drill underneath your work bench and I have taken the liberty of labeling the parts for you. Now before you get your drill out I will tell you all once again that this is a tool not to mess around with. I will give you all few moments to check out the components of the drill before I go through the steps on how to use it. Off you go."
