Rae's eyes widen comically. "I kid you not when I tell you that this man... was crazy about Dark creatures. We found this out later, but my circumventing the crup at the front door, we walked around the house and right into a nest of lethifolds he was illegally harvesting for invisibility cloaks. If you don't know about lethifolds, they can be driven off with a well-done Patronus. I have no idea why Anj couldn't perform one, but I was too busy feeling bad that I'd die without giving Alexander a chance to say 'I told you so.'" She was laughing at herself again.
"So the lethifolds are coming at us... one of them might have been on Anj already... and I tried to shoot sparks for help. Instead, I ignited the house on fire." She shrugged. "Turned out to be rather effective, as the lethifolds thrive in dark, dank places. The heat and light from the fire drove them away, and we ran for it." She was laughing by now, her words less than perfectly audible. "In conclusion... you never know what you'll need to protect yourself." :: Lauren smiled and rose her hand. " We were learning about Lethifolds in Care of Magical Creatures. I know they are hard to find so it must have been scary to have seen one but must be interesting now. " she said. :: |
