...and now Sierra was annoyed, so annoyed that she bee-lined straight for a plant in need of a good pruning and didn't even stop to take a casual glance around the gardens. She hated homework. Absolutely hated it. What she hated worse was being on a tight time schedule, which was really no one's fault but her own.

No. No, she refused to believe that. It was the professor's fault for assigning so many assignments that she didn't even have time to do this one until the last hour. Siiiigh. She flicked out her wand and took a seat by the bush. What was that idiotic spell they'd been taught? Ahh, yes. "Flipnsnipwitit!" she said, surprised she even remembered the spell. What a foolish name for a charm... "Flipnsnipwitit!" As the overgrown pieces fell from the plant, Sierra collected them into a small pile.
