Chapter 71
You practice the Reducto a couple of times, just to be prepared. When you feel confident enough you select the only option on the display: “Ready”. It takes a couple of seconds for the magical barrier to dissipate, but it eventually does and only the fact you already have you wand at ready allows you to cast a strong Reducto on the vines creeping out and reaching to you.
Unfortunately, the curse does not seem to work as intended. It looks like the plant is even more bent on getting to you than before. As you try to run away, it gets hold of one of your leg and as you fall on the ground, you drop your wand. The plant is quickly pulling you towards its other vines and all of your struggling does not seem to help. You try calling for help with the little air the plant hasn’t squeezed out of your lungs yet, but you don’t think anyone can hear you. As you start seeing black dots in your vision, a tall figure arrives and inundates the place with light. That’s when you pass out.
You wake up later that day in your bed with you mother hovering around you. When she sees that you are awake, she starts crying. She is a bit hysterical, saying how scared she had been that you father would be too late or that you may have suffered some damages from the lack of oxygen. She explains that the healer treated you for a sprained ankle, crushed ribs and some lacerations, but that you are otherwise fine now. She takes a deep breath and tells you that your father and her have decided that maybe you are not ready for your own greenhouse yet. You are affronted by their decisions but considering what just happened, you can’t really blame them. You’ll just have to try to convince them again next year.
