Or are you just projecting your own fear and loathing on the creature?"
He stood up then and again looked off into the forest as if waiting for something. "When you come face-to-face with a dangerous creature like some of the ones we're going to see today, you should ask yourself those questions as well as a few others. What do you think your first move should be when you find, say, a blast-ended skrewt coming up the path toward your house?"
Williamson was curious to see their reactions to such a scenario, particularly since he thought he had heard something about a few students actually being IN such a scenario.....
Well, they could always question who
else they could toss into the line of fire to help them get away from the creature. Surely there'd be a willing Hufflepuff and a non-willing Gryffindor nearby. Sierra didn't think that answer would go over too well with WWW, though. Especially seeing as she sprt of, kind of, maybe forgot to turn in his homework assignment...
"I think it'd be a good idea to flick your wand out your holster," Sierra suggested, raising her hand. Then, like,
Puffer Brother said over there,
"Using your brains wouldn't hurt either. Not all creatures are approached in the same way, so you need to figure out what's best in that situation." A few seconds of silence passed as the wheels in Sierra's head continued to turn.
"But you know, if...say, a Nundu was coming after you, I think it should be socially acceptable with everyone to just throw all caution to the wind, turn around, and make a run for it." Quote:

Hopefully.
Sierra caught a movement out of the corner of her eye and quickly jerked her head to the side. Nothing. If it was something, it was gone now...
