Word Count: (100)
Rating: G
Challenge: #3 Broken
Characters: Hermione/Severus
“Broken?” Hermione gazed at the limp shape.
“It only bends so much before it breaks.”
“Maybe a splint.” She tentatively poked the flaccid object.
Severus batted her hand away. “Stop that. You’re not helping.”
“It’s more bent than broken, try straightening it out.”
“No, that’s not helping. A transplant would seem to be the only answer.”
Hermione’s eyes went wide. “Can you do that? Will it work?”
Severus shook his head, his prize Orchid - the stem broken in half. Even if he transplanted it into a new pot, it would never be ready for the Hogsmeade Flower show tomorrow.
