Levi had been glad to add to Greer’s point about the Geranium’s teeth. And it was true, just like humans, their teeth needed to and should be well taken care of. Professor Hawkins - like the other professors - sure was putting him through the gauntlet this term! Not only with the workload but with the additional questions during lesson time. He didn’t realise he was mentally complaining, but did it really count as complaining when Levi intended on looking up the answer to how one knew the age of a young ‘Fanged’ Geranium? The hardworking Hufflepuff sure was determined to!
For now, it was time to focus on the next activity!
Listening to Hawkins’ instructions and reading them from the board, the third year’s quiet confidence grew. First up, he donned his trust pair of dragonhide gloves, ensuring they were on securely so that they wouldn't slip off. His head tilted left to right as he thoughtfully tried to make up his mind about which plant to go with. For some reason, his gaze lingered a tad longer on the slug-like plant poking out of the soil.
Bubotube it was!
His wand was carefully pointed at the plant, at the spot precisely where the cutting would be taken from. “Diffindo!” The corresponding downward slashing movement was done. Knowing how destructive this particular spell could be, Levi really, really thought only about making an ample enough cutting. In the end, he got what he wanted; it was just that the cutting that fell away was a smidge bigger than he wanted.
At least the plant seemed okay otherwise. |
