"Yes you are correct Kylie. In most cases you would need to pre-drill a hole in the wood first before screwing. But if you have proper wood screws like we do then it is not necessary."
Lawson waved his hand around the classroom, "As you can see we have some very impatient people in our class today so I figured it would be easier to just show them how to drill straight into the wood. If you are careful enough and don't apply excessive pressure while you are drilling then your wood should not split."
Walking up to the board, Marcus gave it a tap with his wand. "Okay on the board is your homework assignment. Be sure to take note of it please. Now there is still a little time left for you to keep practicing before the end of the lesson."
"...Oh. Right..." Kylie had no idea there were special SCREWS to use. Ugh. She decided that Lawson saying that the students could continue to practice for a little bit meant to try it. She took a deep breath before setting up the drill and screw in the wood..
Bzzzzzzzzz.
Aaand, that's when there was blood. Lots of it. On her hand. The wood hadn't quite split, but it'd sort of chipped funny and a chunk of it went up into her hand.
Ow.
She sat patiently flinching every so often trying to think of something to mend her wound that didn't involve going to the hospital wing. She took out her wand and poked at it slightly, really unfamiliar with anything that would help her here.. Was there a spell to heal deep cuts? Kylie found herself in an unfamiliar rut. She'd never not known what spell to use... Frustrating.
But.. seriously... OW!
