It was at that moment when she saw another student leaving AND Professor Kennedy. And was the boy harvesting fire seeds? Why yes, he was. The flaming plant was there too. Perfect. Just exactly what they needed. It was quiet on the library. She assumed that the crowds of students hadn't appeared yet and now was the appropriate time to strike and get ahead. Vi turned to the bucket and cast the heating charm on it to keep the seeds warm after she harvested them. Next she turned to Ace, gave him a quick thumbs up and smile, and then approached the fireplace.

With gloves on, she placed the bucket down next to her and readied her wand. Then she took a deep breath and began to slowly pick the fireseeds, gently pulling the seeds out one by one and placing them into the bucket.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

Perfect.
See, the Library wasnt exactly the first place that Ace would have thought of when looking for fireseeds inside the castle. Because books yknow? Books and fire aint the best bedfellows to put it mildly.

But the wavy haired Gryffindor gal felt really sure about this, and lo and behold there it was, a steady stream of fellow Potioneers picking away at the hour's prized possession.... from a fireplace.

Fine, not quite the burning bush that enthralled him in that highly memorable Herbology class with a bonus Centaur meet-up. But then this is the library, burning bushes can be metaphorical yknow.

He fitted his dragonhide gloves snugly into his hands, took his wand and the remaining metal collection bowl and cast the heating charm Chaudensis, the nonverbal movement practically second nature now. Then he approached the fireplace and reached his gloved hand in, picking up a fireseed or two and depositing them onto the heated metal bowl on his other hand.

After the fifth plunking sound of seed hitting the bowl, he covered it quickly with a shield charm and deposited it onto their supply tray. "We're all good here now right? Back to the batcave?" he joked at Vi. Lead the way back pretty lady.
