Theo was having trouble with the spell, so he figured that he needed to find a place inhabiting more students so that if he needed help, he could puppy dog eye someone. Since he only had one knut that he wanted to save for later, Theo avoided the common room and decided the house table was a better idea.

Who was that over there already? Peyton?

He'd have to ask HER for help if he got stuck? Ugggggggh... The Slytherin nodded quickly at her, then rested his gargoyle on the table and stared at it for a moment. He looked over and saw his teammate's gargoyle rolling over and stuff. PFFT, he could do this!

The Slytherin pulled out his wand, gave his gargoyle a tap and said, "Piertotum Locomortor." There was something off about the last word.

Theo couldn't remember if it was LocomoRtor, or just Locomotor. Eh... may as well try them both.

"Piertotum Locomotor!"

BOOM - The gargoyle sprung to life. Theo was completely aghast and just watched it in adoration for a moment. Oh, yeah! Tricks, he needed to teach it tricks! He'd already taught it to dance, so he needed something else this time. "Star jump!" The gargoyle did as it was told, causing Theo to break out in the giggles. Anything to make an inanimate object break out a sweat! He watched it for a good 3 minutes, before getting bored.

What ELSE could this lil fella do?
