“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.
