Blinking.
There was tons of that.
All the blinking directed towards Professor Hirsch when he responded to her.
Torn between elation and complete shock, the seventh year essentially gaped at the man for a good long while and, by the time she came to, he had already dove into the next portion of the lecture. Admittedly...she was pleased that the reality was not far from the narratives she had read. Although the unfortunate reality was that in order to defeat the creature one needed an understanding of both Ancient Runes and Arithmancy - neither of which Paige was particularly strong in. In fact...all of the subjects beginning with the letter A were her weakest.
It would be too much to ask to hope that any golem she faced have the Hebrew carved into it's head....right? That seemed to be the most straight forward...unless there was a standard format for both runes and numbers that she could easily commit to memory...
Still...it was refreshing to see just how much the power of language and the written word could have over such a potentially fierce foe. One where ravishing your want and casting all sorts of powerful spells was not a means towards victory. Inspired a bit of confidence.
As for more benevolent uses...there was always manual labor, she supposed. Depending on the size of the golem and all along with a witch or wizard's casting ability when it came to lifting heavy objects. Would be an interesting reveal if they had somehow been involved in the construction of Hogwarts...hmmmm...
