But then...

GRAB!

A few ankles were taken a hold of.

CHOMP!

One vine wrapped itself around a wooden chair to crush it into pieces, fitting enough to be used as firewood.

What could have caused such frightening behaviour?
Sitting in the badger common room with her dark Rose head buried over a large number of started but yet unfinished homework assignments Ariadnes attention wasn't exactly on her immediate surroundings. When something grabbed a hold of her ankles she yelped and screamed out in sudden pain and a realization of what was going on around her. "Ouieeeee! That hurts. Let go!"

Kicking at the vine that now was wrapped around her ankles Ariadne watched as another vine crushed a chair into pieces. "Help! Someome please these vines are scary!" One badger girl against angry attacking vines was probably not going to end very wellpapp. Swallowing down a sudden lump in her throat Ariadne reached for her wand. Haden't Professor Cole said that vines didn't like fire?
