Third Seed; [Action]

[nearlychosen]

[Good evening, Luceti. It's just past sunset, and neighbors around House 26 might have noticed Neville outdoors a bit later than usual, fussing with an overgrown potted ivy. A wave of a wand and a cheated mumbled incantation later, the plant has grown to twice its size. From there, it's a bit of a boring magic show while he works with ineffective spells, some of them providing mobility to the little vines; mostly, though, there's nothing. Fully engrossed in his work, he doesn't notice some of the vines loosely coiling around him until they begin contracting against his forearms. He yelps in surprise and sets to work stunning the wispy strands, which might have been easier if he'd work on mobilizing it before it was the size of a rather large cat.

Little help?]

[Not particularly! In fact, they're refreshingly familiar. Maybe she's from Beaubaxtons?]

Perhaps, if you wouldn't mind... Do you have your wand on you? I can't seem to properly stun it.

Wand? Never mind, I'll ask later. Just hold still for me, would you?

[She holds out her hand, aiming it at the plant, and concentrates a bit, said hand starting to glow. After just a few seconds...] Fireball!

[As one might expect, this spell causes a fireball (actually, three small ones) to burst out of her hand and crash into the Devil's Snare, thankfully avoiding Neville.]
