 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Isabella knew it was only a matter of time before the teacher got back to the boring part of Herbology - plant anatomy and whatnot. She sighed, watching as he drew and labeled a rose for them to see. As to why he was drawing a face on the rose... Isabella really didn't know. Roses didn't have faces, at least not any roses she had ever seen. Bored, she took another drink from her water cup.
And spit it out when Professor Myers said he had spiked it with shrinking solution! This man really was crazy! Isabella stared at the professor in disbelief, wondering if this had ever happened when her mother was at Hogwarts. Surely not, surely mother wouldn't let her come to a place where teachers thought it was okay to just put things in their students' drinks. Was her education really worth being shrunk?
As the rose started getting bigger, or rather, as Isabella started getting smaller, she gripped her water glass very tightly. At least the boring plant anatomy part of the lesson hadn't lasted very long, she supposed. Maybe this class would be a bit like that Magic School Bus show she had seen when she went to Muggle school last year. Those kids always looked like they were having fun, and Miss Frizzle never let any of them get hurt, even when stuff went wrong. When she finally stopped shrinking, Isabella stomped a bit on the potting soil they were all standing on. It seemed dense enough to hold them, at least. And roses weren't dangerous! |
