Although many of the students had noticed the bowtruckle, Gwen hadn’t. She simply drew her attention towards the Professor while she thought of an answer to he last question. What to do if a skrewt came by? Maybe Evanesco?,she thought, but before saying that out loud, she remembered what she’d read about the spell. Perhaps making the animal going into non-being wouldn’t be the best answer to give in a CARE of magical creatures class.

Something else,then…, the third year thought. Expulso? Errr… maybe the animal shouldn’t explode either. ‘What about using a Freezing Charm?’ What- it wouldn’t harm the skrewt, right? ‘Or… a spell that one can surely cast’ Spells could go wrong too… and it wouldn’t be a good thing to make the creature angry and make it snap back at you. Or maybe an Incarcerous? Hmm. What about Petrificus Totalus? 'Or...Levitate the skrewt with a Wingardium Leviosa?', the girl mused.

All right. One thing was sure- she should definitely stop reading about too many spells. Merlin’s beard, she could have given a decent answer like a normal person would have. Like...‘ask for help’… but she would have never done that, anyway… or ‘stay still and start moving backwards’ But noooo. Gwen had to think of all the possible spells.

Wait- -

‘Is that a BOWTRUCKLE?’, she mumbled, finally able to see the creature. When did that thing appear?, the third year asked herself as she looked around for a second. Errr… had absolutely everyone except her seen the bowtruckle??
