Waddiwasi Wanted: One New Gryffindor Uniform 08: Diffindo Huff. Huff.
Why was the Gryffindor Common Room all the way up at the tippy-top of the school? Seamus took a deep breath as he rounded into yet another staircase. Was this the fourth floor, or the fifth? He'd lost count.
He needed a break. So, with a sigh, he sank onto the bottom step, his heavy schoolbag thunking down next to him. Stupid potions class. There was still a bit of soot on his nose from today's cauldron explosion; he wiped at it absently. He hadn't done anything WRONG this time! Had he not ground the roots enough?
Sitting there, stewing on what had done it, Seamus noticed a thread hanging from his sleeve. His mum had taught him to never pull them out, as it would undo the entire seam... but it was just hanging there. Mocking him.
He couldn't leave it. So, pulling out his wand, Seamus held the sleeve down against his knee and pointed at the thread.
"Diffindo."
The thread sliced off easily... and so did half of his sleeve, and his trouser leg. Seamus stared at the split cloth for a moment before standing and continuing up to the common room silently, frowning.
