~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. 36. Reducto “Reducto!’’
The plant pot shattered into a million little pieces. Rachel was sorry she had been reduced to destroying the pot but for some reason, the mandrake within refused to leave its warm and snug hope. “It was only a temporary home for you,’’ the Ravenclaw assured the young mandrake over its screams. Obviously it could not hear her and all she heard was her own voice reverberating rather loudly in her head thanks to the bright pink earmuffs covering her ears.
Onc the mandrake was cemented in its new home, Rachel removed the earmuff and regarded the pot. “Rest in peace, pot. I hope Professor Myers doesn’t hate me for destroying you.’’ But surely he would understand. It was a good thing she would be getting him a replacement, anyway. |
