Slow but cautious steps saw him eventually making it close to the tree. And now his nerves were back. Ugh. Maybe he should pretend that the tree was Olivia and she was preparing to send him a well aimed and strongly whacked Bludger at him. This idea strengthened his resolve. “Immobulus.’’ Charlie briskly did the wand movement, hoping his spell worked and that Olivia the tree would freeze so that he could get to one of those pods. Fingers crossed! |
