Xerxes had just finished casting off one last "Incendio!" when the plant shriveled and died. He stood completely still for a few moments, just to make absolutely sure the threat was entirely gone. He then straightened up and ran his fingers through his hair; letting out a deep sigh of relief.
Xerxes turned to his nearest housemate and raised his hand for a congratulatory high-five. They had done it; he and his fellow Hufflepuff's had neutralized a great threat and managed to do it without suffering any serious injuries.
"That was a close one." he said to no one in particular. He let out a little laugh, just to cut the tension. "Good job everybody. A real team effort, I must say."
Xerxes turned to his Head of House. "So, what should we do now, Professor Burbage? I'm guessing we need to tell someone, like maybe the Headmaster, what happened? And someone should probably find Nyle. I don't want to accuse anyone of anything vexatious, but you're definitely gonna wanna talk to him."
