There were particular spells to deal with acromantulas, but Eino wasn't very familiar with them. "I think we learned about those last year... There was a spell, wasn't there?" Kurumi would most likely remember. "Ashwinders, don't they originate from fires? I suppose keeping an eye for big fires in the muggle populated areas would help were to look for them. How would we even stop one? Water them? Freeze them? What about their eggs? If we were to find them we wouldn't be able to touch them so perhaps the Hovering Charm and others like it should be useful as well... Don't you suppose so?"
Kurumi thought for a moment. "
I am not sure how we can prevent them from entering non-magical areas..." unless there were special acromantula sensors in the wizarding world that she didn't know about. "
The only thing they are afraid of is a basilisk...which we can't let loose in non-magical areas either." Hmm...this certainly was a pickle. "
We could put a disillusionment charm on a large statue of one a put it around the perimeter of a small town and see how many spiders stay away?" That sounded a little ridiculous, but she had been afraid a giant statue of Mickey Mouse when she was six. "
The spell you are thinking of is Arania Exumai. We could practice it on plush spiders like we did in Care of Magical Creatures last term. We wouldn't want to practice on real spiders...we might accidentally kill one of them."
Kurumi then put some thought to the Ashwinder situation. She had forgotten about the fact that they were born from the remains of magical fire. "
Then, I guess we need to remind witches and wizards to extinguish their fires properly so that ashwinders don't accidentally get created. If we ever find eggs, we would have to administer a freezing charm right away."
