It was almost rather infuriating, how long it took Gerald to find something that he was sentimental towards. At first he tried thinking of something that he always had, but then he realised that when he moved homes, he had barely anything to begin with, and nothing at his new home struck him as important.

Perhaps saving him from ripping out his hair, Gerald finally decided on his Goose Certificate. It was something that he didn't want to lose, and although it wasn't that old, it was a reminder of a Memorable event in his life before coming to Hogwarts.

And thus,he held the Parchment in his hands as he climbed the Stairs to the Tower, hoping that it was enough for the Chest, and if it was, that he would be able to get it back.

The chest, despite him never having noticed it before, was rather easy to find. It was unlocked too, which was a bonus. It bore the Hogwarts crest, as it had been described to him. All he had to do now was open it and place his item inside to see what happened next.

"Oh, there it is" He noted almost immediately. Was this always here, or was it a recent addition of Sorts? This was weird, even for magic.

Moving over, he went to open the chest, before placing the certificate inside, really hoping it wasn't destroyed.

The certificate burst into flames. It became an intricate display of mingled, roaring flames and pale blue magic. The light was bright, making it hard to watch and track what was happening. Then the object was reduced to ash. With a sudden flash, all light and magic vanished. Inside the crest remained a pile of ash that was once his treasured certificate.

There was something else, though. Inside the ash was a multi-coloured object, which turned out to be a rather large seed. If his sacrifice was worth it was yet to be seen, but at least he had succeeded in obtaining what could only be the rare, ancient seed. It was beautiful, and heavier than it looked, yet also healthy - ready to be planted.

Gerald knew this was going to happen, even if he didn't want it to. Shame, it was the only one he had, too.

Reaching in, Gerald plucked the Multicolored object up. When he was first told about it, he was expecting a Peach Pip, but this was much bigger than he had realised. How big was the Fruit itself going to be?

Looking around, he hmmed to himself. "Is the Greenhouse the Best place to plant this?" Thinking to himself, he tried to remember if there was a mention of where to plant it, in either their research or from the Collector. Deciding to check in the greenhouse, he left the Tower.
