It took her about three minutes to convince herself that it wasn't that bad. It could've been worse. And no one was near listening. Except maybe for that kid who approached her, but the snake was fast to shoot him a look. Poor kid, ran like the wind. Hopefully he made it to the facilities in time. None of her concern though. She had a tree to deal with.

Next step was vengeance! Well, it didn't really say that but somehow it implied so. To cut a branch. Only now did the steps seem realistic to the fourth-year. Sure, you sing and pat the tree and be very nice then you wrench a branch off. Yup, it was between the lines. Cassia was so good in reading those. Even better than reading the lines themselves.

She stepped closer to the tree and started reaching out testing branches. What kind of branch did she need again? Oh she forgot to decide. Well, she'll go with the easier to cut. Also, she didn't consider the upper branches. Last time she climbed a tree with Dora it wasn't so pleasant to be repeated. Let's just stay on the ground. Safer and steadier.

After rubbing her hands together, the blond closed her fists around a branch and YANKED! Doing so, she learned a couple of important facts. Branches are rough and would cut your hands. You'd think she learned that the other day with Dora. Second, it took more strength ,to yank a branch, than hers. So nope. She didn't have a branch, only a cut hand.

Glaring at the tree, she retrieved her wand and hissed, "Diffindo," HA!
Cassia snatched the branch and stepped back cradling her cut hand.
