Hermione had stayed for a bit longer, helping Verity to gather the rest of the Pygmy Puffs, and had offered her help, but neither of them could think of anything else to do. She'd headed back to work, and Verity sat on the porch, counting the puffballs in the box.
"...nine, ten, eleven..." She frowned. She'd thought there were thirteen? She knelt by the porch again, crawling low to try to see if there were any more. It was possible some had been lost, as much as she hated to imagine it... Oh! She Summoned another from deep underneath, cuddling it in her palm and tucking it into the box. Maybe the last had made it then. Maybe around the corner? She headed around toward the side Alley, spotting the last purple fuzz behind a bin, and scooped it up.
