Though why Lawson seemed so unhappy about it, Jake would probably never find out. Hehe.
Ducking down, Jake pulled out the drill and looked at it closely before doing the complimentary robot moves while pressing the on button which made him sound like an ACTUAL robot. Heck yes. And THEN he held it to the side of his face and pretended to be someone in one of those horror movies, evil face an all.
That one felt best.
"Ssssir, do dddentists use these d-d-drills too?" the boy asked, and then looked around mischeviously. "Hey Wwwilliam, hold ssstill," he joked, giving the boy a winked as he ZZZZZZZZZZZ'ed the drill again.
Bahahaha, this was so fun.

Simon did what he was told even though he didn't want too, he then heard the Professor talk about an Electric Drill.
"Oh My Giddy Aunt." Simon said suddenly, as he looked down under his bench and got his Electrical drill out and looked at it, this was going to be awesome.
"Professor don't Doctors sometimes use these?" He asked, "I'm sure I've seen some doctors use this." He turned to Jake and glared back at him, he had seen him glaring at him earlier but hadn't bothered looking until now.

Whatchu lookin' at, sonny Jim?
Rawrr.
buZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Lawson looked between the two Hufflepuff's and heaved a deep sigh. This was why he didn't want to show them the power drill.
"No doctors and dentists don't use this particular drill okay? They have different types of drills."
His gaze drifted to Jake for a moment, "I am only going to say this once. Behave yourself whilst using the drill."

She listened carefully and then her hand went up in the air. "Professor? How does it work? The drill thing I mean?" It had electronic components right? Even if it ran on batteries it shouldn't work here because of the magic. And this was Hogwarts after all. A memory tugged at her. "Are you using the same charms that Professor Dumont used to so we could see electronic stuff working?" That would also explain his reluctance in letting them use their wands in here.
"I'm getting to that Miss Toussaint, I just want everyone to get the feel of it first."
Lawson was about to move on when Celandine asked another question and he gave the Head Girl a smile. "Of course otherwise none of this equipment would work here. It's only for this classroom though, so even if you were tempted to take something from here it wouldn't work anywhere else in the castle."

Selena was clumsy at times and didn't want to drop it on someone or something like that. At least she knew her limits... however some people seemed quite excited. Was the professor really letting them near a power tool like this? They'd all die.
He turned and looked at Selena and smiled warmly at her. At least she was sensible enough to not want to go stupid with the tools. "Of course you don't have to. I can show you how to do it with the normal screwdriver."
Moving back to his desk, Lawson picked up the power drill and held it up for everyone to see. "Okay so as you can see on the bottom of the drill is the battery. Moving up we have the trigger switch. This is button you press to make the drill go, as some of you have already figured out." He looked at Jake and Miranda as he said this.
"Up the top of the drill is the screw driver bit. As I explained before there are two types screwdrivers. Flat blade and cross head blade. Then we have the speed selector switch which I think is self explanatory. You have a choice of slow, medium and fast speeds. And over here is the reversing switch. Flick it forward and it pushes the drill in. Flick it back and it will go backwards, taking the screw back out."
He paused to take a breath before continuing, "This here is the torque adjustment collar. What this does is determines the depth you want to the screw to go in. The higher up the torque you go the deeper the screw will go in." And then he pointed to the last component on the drill. "This is called the keyless chuck. By turning the chuck counter clockwise it will release your drill bit, by turning it clockwise tightens the drill bit, keeping it in place."
Putting the drill down for the moment, Lawson placed a piece of wood onto his desk and then picked up a two inch screw. "Okay so as you can see I have a cross head screw, so I need to use the cross head blade. I now turned the chuck counter clockwise and then place the drill bit into the centre and then tighten the chuck again by turning it clockwise." He held up the drill so that the students could see what he was doing.
"Now that I have my drill bit in place, I need my screw which I have right here. What you need to do now is hold the screw against the piece of wood, pointy end down. Fit your drill bit into the screw and hold it steady and then place your finger on the trigger and the screw will go into the wood. Now because you are all beginners at this I want you all to make that your speed setting is on slow. Make sure your fingers are well out of the way when you get the drill going."
And now was the moment of truth. "You may all try it now."
