Before long, Lia had gently defanged Audrey. "There. Done. I'll be right back.. I need to help Professor Flamsteed for a few minutes." Yes, she was telling her plant what she was doing. And no, she didn't care at all what anyone thought.

Leaving Audrey there on her workstation, wand in hand, Dahlia headed out of the greenhouse to where Flamsteed was tending to an older plant. Poke. Stun. Defang. The same exact instructions as before. She could handle this.

The second year reached out and poked at one of the larger vampire plants. Poke, poke, poke. Wakey, wakey! It was time to get up! As soon as there was any movement from the plant and sharp teeth were visible, she aimed her wand at it. "Stupefy!" There was no time wasted in stunning this larger bitey one. Best to get the task at hand done and over with.

Carefully she parted the leaves, unfurling them enough to expose sharp fang like teeth. One by one gently pulling them free.
