"Huh," Z said, still looking at Greta with hopes for a helping hand up. "I hadn't thought about booby-trapping the brooms. I'd leave the regular school brooms alone because I like most of the Firsties and Saporta'd poison me if I did anything to his precious baby Snakes who, and I quote, "have so much potential!" but the upper years..."
Greta did not look any happier and Z figured she probably wasn't going to help her up now.
"Kidding," Z said hastily and got up, absently flicking her wand and watching to brooms fly back into place. It was pretty awesome to have done that nonverbally on the first try, clearly chasing ornaments with Professor Lazzara was doing wonders for her spell work. Idly she wondered what else he could teach her before refocusing on Greta.
"What are you doing here anyways? Oooh, did you come back to school? Please tell me you came back, I'm desperate for a friend in classes who's actually my age."
