He glanced at the two girls and smiled grimly. “I have never been one for violence but I gotta say, I wouldn’t mind…blasting that thing into smithereens.” He probably shouldn’t have said that in front of a couple of students, but at this point in time, he didn’t particularly care. Millie and Pepper were gone. And the thing responsible needed to pay.
"Same here!!" Lex chimed in.
"I mean, I'm not usually given to violence," She averted her gaze just slightly, there was some truth to the statement but not much,
"but that thing needs to go!" Ahem. Of course she was happy the Ground's Keeper saw eye to eye with her on this one. Besides...wouldn't everyone want this thing blasted beyond recognition? She knew she did and now she was sure he did too.
"You don't have to make excuses; Pepper and Millie need help, sometimes we have to be hands on!" Nod. Nod. Nod. Though she seemed to be hands on more times than not...meh.

It seemed to only attack those living creatures that were outside.
Lex nearly squealed when she heard him say they would be going into the Forbidden Forest. She didn't though because whenever anyone saw an excited 11 year old they automatically assumed they would do something stupid and she would be crushed at having to be sent back at this point.
She'd never been in there an now she would have to legit reason and even two Professor with her!! Soooo much better than sneaking in and risking getting caught. Yup.

Of any kind. “There’s Venomous Tentacula of course but I don’t think it’s tendrils can stretch that far. A hybrid maybe?” He was thinking out loud, he didn’t expect his company to answer him.
Standing around wasn’t going to get any answers though, so Seb gave himself a shake, tightened the grip on his wand and turned in the direction of the forest. “Okay then. Let’s go.”
None of those plants sounded particularly nice but having very little knowledge on this subject she merely nodded her head in agreement to the plants he was naming. He was the Shiny Ground's Keeper; he'd know.
Then came the part she had been internally bouncing for. She turned sharply on her heel, ready to
have an adventure enter the forest and rescue those poor animals. If they were lucky she'd even get the see the plant get what was coming to it.
