Violet gave one last look around the study for knives, but didn't see any more. She was kind of tempted to try flying one of the paper airplanes around the room with a levitation spell, but she needed to get on with class. Besides, she heard the professor give the ten minute warning, so she'd better get going to the next room.
Which turned out to be...the kitchen! Well, there ought to be plenty of knives in here. Violet headed for the counter, where she thought she saw a butcher block holding a whole set of knives. "
Scar-PA-fors!" she cast, flicking her wand one, two, three, four times at each of the four knives in the block.
Next, she started opening drawers--napkins and towels and potholders, ladles and forks and spoons, silverware, and...hold on--third drawer had silverware, and silverware usually included knives! Yes, there were seven knives in the little knife slot--blunt bread knives, it was true, but still knives (could you really cut yourself on one of those? Violet decided to try transfiguring them all just the same). Seven
scarpafors later and Violet was done with the silverware (but--there should be eight knives in the drawer, judging by the number of other utensils--Violet wondered what had happened to the eighth one?) Not finding it in the drawer, Violet began searching on the rest of the countertops and tables and poking around the sink and dish drainer.
