Fire seeds, huh? Vi had taken a gamble. She had first thought the Gryffindor Common room or every common room would have the fireseeds but decided that was not nearly a public enough place so she decided to head to the library. Turning to the curly haired boy behind her, she smiled and almost grabbed his hand."This way! Come on!" she called as she raced ahead toward the fireplace.

It was at that moment when she saw another student leaving AND Professor Kennedy. And was the boy harvesting fire seeds? Why yes, he was. The flaming plant was there too. Perfect. Just exactly what they needed. It was quiet on the library. She assumed that the crowds of students hadn't appeared yet and now was the appropriate time to strike and get ahead. Vi turned to the bucket and cast the heating charm on it to keep the seeds warm after she harvested them. Next she turned to Ace, gave him a quick thumbs up and smile, and then approached the fireplace.

With gloves on, she placed the bucket down next to her and readied her wand. Then she took a deep breath and began to slowly pick the fireseeds, gently pulling the seeds out one by one and placing them into the bucket.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

Perfect.
