MEMORY: Little Hunter - CAPPED

Just as the students start to examine Pepsi for the safest spot to climb, the little tiger starts moving again.

Behind them, the Wandering Willows all leap from their beds, the Blob deflates with a flatulent sound. It's chaos. Utter bedlam, trying not to get trampled.

In the air, Zero Sugar Pepsi twists, a teeny tiny John Wick in her own action movie. What had caught her attention was not Ms. Treetops, but something reaching for the Herbology teacher — a strange vine tipped in a tiny purple flower. Pepsi intercepts the vine with her little claws outstretched, pulling the vine off course and along with her.

Whether she knows what she was doing, or just saw an irresistible toy, the spiny kitten rescues Ms. Treetops from that strange creeping vine. Tansy turns at the sound, leaving her snapping dragons behind to carefully separate the cactus kitten from the invasive plant.

"Oh, what a hero," she murmurs, warm and affectionate as she scoops the kitten up into one arm. "You don't like these either, hmm? Don't touch them. They're bad for you."

With her free hand, Tansy Treetops produces a gnarled wand from somewhere at her hip, and she carefully blasts the vine with ice until it isn't moving any more.

In the commotion, an empty terracotta pot rolls off the table and lands sideways on the ground, the mouth of the toppled pot a long tunnel back to Peckenpaugh's
ruined auditorium.
