"But surely pumpkins can't act...and besides, didn't you put the ghost on there?" She asked, tucking a piece of stray hair behind her ear. "I saw you with your wand pointed at it. What were you trying to do?" Because clearly the ghost had not been the intended result. Plus she was kind of curious. She was never really bold enough to practice magic out on the grounds by herself.
The older boy didn't seemed all that pleased with Ella and to be quite honest, she didn't care. The first year hated seeing anyone act so violently against something so...well pitiful. It really put her wand in a knot. A pumpkin was a pumpkin not a soccer ball or a kick ball. Plain and simple.
Ashton looked at the pumpkin again and folded his arms across his chest. "Are pumpkins human? Can they feel? And what do you end up doing with them?" Giving a smug grin he looked at the firstie. "You end up eating them and in a sense... destroying them." She then asked about what he had been trying to do.
Smirking he laughed, "In all honesty, my spell didnt work. And not that its any of your business.. but.. " He cocked an eyebrow at the firstie debating on whether or not to tell her. Ickle firstie Huffie. "But I got it from somewhere to make the vines grow and have it dance around. An old trick my mom showed me when I was little."
