He was still staring down at the vine, rather confused if he'd missed it before or if it had grown just while standing there, but not having really noticed it before he hadn't been able to reach any sort of conclusion. And then he heard another voice, and glanced up, spotting Flamsteed. "It wants to be my friend?"

Did that mean it HAD recently grown, or moved or... whatever it is these vines were doing? "Did you see it move?"

Except he didn't need to ask that, because looking down it was clear the vine WAS moving around, and he could feel it continually brushing against his leg. It looked like it was trying to grab both of them now, and before he could take a step away the vine was wrapping around Evan's legs and moving him. Was he even being pulled closer to Flamsteed?

As someone who didn't like touch, this was turning to his worst nightmare. He tried to fight back a little, but the vine was much stronger than he had anticipated. "Any chance you remember any of the spells the Professor's have specifically been using against this thing?"

Hopefully before it got to his arms.
