Ethan gave the weed in his pot a stink-eye, and got his hands on his hips. “You’re supposed to shrink into nothingness.” The Slytherin said leaning closer to the said weed. Yes, people, he’s talking to it. Ahem. The boy however, decided not to be disheartened! Of course, he will get this right. YES WEED, YOU WILL SHRINK!

Ahem.

“Parveus Minori Minimus!” coupling the incantation with the wand movement, and intention to shrink the weed, the unwanted plant became smaller and smaller and…gone. “Huzzaaaaah!” The jubilation was cut short however, because he found another weed. Ethan gave the spell a second try and…well what do you know? GONE. Poof! Yusss!

Giving his tree one final big hug, Ethan stepped back, and inhaled as much air as he can, and breathed out slooooooooowly. “Wooooozaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. I can do this!” the third year tried his best not to think of the spell as an irreversible one because it scares the hell out of him, okay? Okay. The boy focused all of his attention to the tree, and gave himself a clear picture of what he wants to see. A mini-Roberta.

And so…

“Parveus Minori Minimus!” Dear Merlin…please shrink properly? Ethan had his eyes closed, but then took a peek as soon he was done with the incantation. He opened his eyes just in time to see the last seconds of the shrinking process. Fawkes, he did it! Yesssssss! “Hello, mini-Roberta.” The third year smiled at his work and gave his bonsai a pat on its…head.
