Even though turning herself into stone wasn’t going to be a possibility, she did get a few, non-lethal, ideas from the discussion. She would just hope to never find herself in the position to ever need to use it as a defense.

Then it was pumpkin time. She almost bounced in her seat as she listened to the instructions. A carved stone pumpkin. She would be able to keep it around for as long as she wanted without it rotting. However, she was going to have to carve the pumpkin first. She had a brief flashback of potions class the previous year. The one where she almost cut her finger off. Sure, it was only a small cut that hardly required a bandage, but it could have been bad.

Deciding to keep all of her finger intact and knowing that she hadn’t mastered the dffindo spell, she looked to an older student for help. “Would someone be willing to carve my pumpkin for me?” She asked as she made her way back to her desk with a pumpkin in hand.
