Sierra had never had much luck getting along with the Lions, but at least this one was offering a group.
"Mmkay, cool," she said, giving a nonchalant shrug. Err...she should thank them now, right? Argh.
"Thanks," she added. She looked at both, silent for a moment, then said,
"Sierra Greingoth. Fourth year Slytherin."
Spotting the Gryffindor checking to see that her gloves were on, Sierra did the same. Yup. They were there.
"Okay, I'll help you tie the knots," she said, speaking up before the Ravenclaw could say anything. No way would Sierra sticking her hand into that plant.
"Well, we're up," she said, noticing it was their turn for one of the plants.
"Off we go." Tayla nodded and on a whim decided to add,
"Tayla Barnhill. Third year Gryffindor," although she had mentioned her first name already. The Snargaluff felt provoked as they approached, so Tayla could see the thorn-covered vines whipping through the air. She tried grabbing one but every time she did, she had to snap her arms back, the thorns narrowly missing them.
"We need to...get it to...stop moving too much!" Tayla said as she tried to grab a vine. But she knew they couldn't stun the Snargaluff yet. Maybe a Freezing Charm?
"Yikes!" she jumped, as she felt one vine spank her hand. Good think the gloves protected them well.
"Get ready to stick your hand in, Silvia," Tayla said.
"You're alright with that, right?"
Without waiting for Silvia's answer and hoping the young Ravenclaw wasn't freaked out by the idea of her hand inside this plant thing, Tayla took her chance to pin down a couple vines.
"Knot!" Was all she could manage to say to Sierra.
