A pair of hands, sparsely covered in decayed flesh with bones visible, gripped a door and ripped it off its hinges, flinging it aside as if it were no lighter than a gum wrapper. The sound of glass shattering echoed as another rotting hand punched a hole in one of the walls.

The creatures laid waste to the greenhouses. Tables were upended. Plants were yanked out of their pots and cast aside to die, while their pots smashed on the ground. The poor daffodils honked frantically until one Inferi silenced them by ripping their petals off. Another picked up the venomous tentacula and threw it at the wall, shattering both the pot and the wall.

Some of the carnivorous plants tried in vain to fight back by biting the Inferi’s skeletal appendages, only to be thrown off violently. The Devil’s Snare wound itself around their legs, but they snapped it in half as if it were a mere blade of grass. Soon the greenhouse floors were littered with dirt, dead plant parts, shards of glass and terra cotta, and a few gold coins that fell out of the creatures’ tattered clothing, but they weren't finished. Their rampage of terror was only getting started!
It was later than Felicity realised when she started to pack up her things, having become engrossed in studying for her Herbology NEWT. She stopped when she heard the noise of the door opening and looked up, her mouth already half open with an apology for Professor Myers and reassurance that she was leaving.

But the look on her face when she saw who, or rather what had entered the greenhouse was one of complete disbelief. Swallowing hard, her things forgotten, she moved slowly until her back was against the wall and tried to hide somewhat amongst the leaves of a large bush.

The Inferius' rampage grew ever closer to her spot, and Felicity pulled her wand from her pocket with a shaking hand. "In... Incendio," she tried to shout, but her voice came out in a hushed whisper as tears pricked at her eyes. Trying to take deep breaths to calm herself and simultaneously blinking back her tears, she raised her wand again, her voice this time a shout.

"Incendio tria." With a slash of her wand aimed at the Inferi closest to her, Felicity offered a silent prayer that the spell worked, before screaming at the top of her lungs. She could only hope that someone was out on the grounds, that they were close enough to hear her, because there was no way she was defeating them alone.
