Exactly... That doesn't make sense at all. The wind must've had some magical property propelling it... " He paused as his mind went back to the Cold Ones. "
You don't think that it could possibly be the Cold Ones or a dark Wizard at work?" He figured that either one of the options was bad news.
He had finished potting the bouncing bulbs when he saw Ethan pull out his wand.
Huh? Simon curiously glanced over to see Ethan transfiguring his snowboard into a wooden sled.
Awesome! With Ethan by his side, he knew he could accomplish anything. He was sure that they had a fair chance at saving the plants in this particular greenhouse. His nose twitched all of a sudden and he fought back a sneeze. Eugh. Ah.. Ah.. Ah!!!!!! Nope. He didn't sneeze. Eugh. There was too much pollen in here. With most of the angel trumpets repotted, he moved onto the umbrella flowers. A sticky charm? Hmm.. Something like super glue but less permanent, right? His eyes widened. "
How about the placement charm?" he said feeling very clever. He may have even wiggled his eyebrows at his friend.
Oh, ho, ho, all of their lessons were coming together now. He pointed his wand at some of the potted plants, preformed the complex wand movement, and uttered the charm. "
Fixate." Then he placed them on the Professor Fuller and Thompson would have been super proud of him. He then performed the sticking charm on the plants that he had placed on the transfigured sled.
TEAM HOLMES WAS GOING TO SAVE THE DAY!!
Anyway, back to plant potting......
Nods. Nods everywhere as Simon
Moriarty explained his theory, and mentioning the Cold Ones.
“They thrive in cold conditions, yes? But my question is…could the Cold Ones produce this kind of horrid weather? If not, then why are we having this bloody cold weather?” You see, this is what he loves when he’s around Simon. They get to exchange ideas and theories and whatnot.
“…if it’s the Cold Ones…then…why are they targeting Hogwarts?” Right? Why the students? Or…the staff? Ethan’s eyes widened, and paused for a second…then finished re-potting one of the plants.
“…do you think the Cold Ones are after the arm that Professor Flamsteed showed us in Defence? Maybe…maybe the arm is some sort of…homing device for them?” Merlin. If that’s the case then they should destroy the arm pronto!
The third year glanced at Simon and copied his facial expression when his fellow snake looked like he was about to sneeze.
“You all right, mate?” Really, he can’t afford one Simon Holden to be sick. Not when they are silently being attacked by dark forces that they can’t see.
Simon seems to be fine, and the third year watched and gave him a thumbs up after casting the Placement Charm on the said pot. Don’t you just love a Slytherin’s brilliance? Moving on, Ethan continued to inspect the room for plants that can be salvaged, and re-potted them on the huge pot Simon made.
#TeamHolmes is winning.
