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.
Silvia wasn't looking forward to sticking her hand into the gooey insides of such a dangerous plant, but it was probably the better role for her; she was very petite and wasn't sure if she would be strong enough the hold down the branches for very long. So she said, "I'm alright with it," and stepped in front of the plant, just outside of its reach. "I'm ready, I think," she said. She waited for the older girls to finish knotting the vines, her wand within reach in case she needed it.
