 Astronomy Homework 1.3 [#95] Dani's Citrus Duck Spawn | Mama Giraffe | Lemon PATch | Pushed the Red Button
He stopped screaming long enough to RUN AWAY FROM the pumpkin, because what if it got too big and fell on him and crushed his lungs so that he could breathe? Or worse, his ESOPHAGUS so he couldn't EAT ALL THE YUMMY FOOD in the room?!?!?!? And now Gabe was asking what it WAS? Uhhh? Was the guy a Ravenclaw or what? He just POINTED at the pumpkin. Seriously, man. Use your noggin. What did he THINK the kid was screaming at? No giant pumpkins or anything. No big deal.
Dima was so scared of that stupid gourd.
But once it stopped growing (its circumference was probably longer than he was tall), the third year tentatively approached it again, glancing at CB and Gabriel in terror. They would SAVE him if it got bad, right? The pumpking was somehow balancing precariously on the pot, though he had no idea how. Didn't this defy the laws of physics or something? WHAT WAS GOING ON? Cross-quarter day was freaky.
Still, he had to do one more plant. So the kid flicked his wand at the second one, hoping it wouldn't get so... giant. "Vitaris Pumpkin!" It was growing slower, huh? A LOT slower. Still faster than his Bonsai had grown, but slower than the first pumpkin on which he had cast. Except.... it was reaching THAT size now. That humongous, terrifying size of the previous one that he had been trying to avoid.
Uh... okay. That was it. This was going to turn into some pumpkin apocalypse, and Dima wasn't sticking around for it. "Bye, guys."
There was food in the Great Hall, too. Sayonara, party.
