"What about the Basilik? How do you kill one anyway?" he asked. So far so good with the answers. When a question came up, Medea spoke. "A basilisk, despite it's more deadly characteristics, is just like any other snake. There is no one way to kill one." There were several ways in fact. SPOILER!!: Fire o_O Quote:

But she didn't find the glare at baby brother all that funny. Low light or not, Aspen's SENSES picked up on the DARK intentions towards her brother.
She would literally slay the Head Girl. Literally.
So, with a WHOLE OTHER type of "Dark Creature" in mind (YOU, Louisa!), Aspen got her wand out, pointed it silently at the Head Girl from within the sleeve of her robe, and ... might have set the Head Girls shoelaces on fire a little.
Just a little.
Just the foot she had on the ground. Aspen didn't want to burn her leg off or anything.
Nothing to squawk at. Just a little fire on her shoe. The Head Girl WAS talking about Inferi. It was a practical lesson, see? And now? Now she'd know Aspen was WATCHING HER.
Hopefully not the Professor though. Aspen pulled her hood tighter and her wand and hand deeper into her robes.

"Uh Professor... uhm Red Caps." the creatures he covered for his finals last term "Even if they are rather low on the danger scale they are still considered dark creatures since their technique is to attack their victims when the least expect it before bludgeoning them to death. " Ok so that didnt require much lateral thinking but he is TRYING to keep upright.
It was in the nth time that his other leg braced against the ground this Ravenclaw's gaze shifted towards the floor-- AND then saw the Louisa's shoelaces were on fire. "You're on fire!" he yelled as he rushed on both legs towards the Head Girl and nearly tackled her to the ground. He reached for his wand in his pocket but realized it wasnt there (it was in his bag where it wont get smashed around by the graceful yoga-ing). Quickly he took off his sweater and started smacking it against the flames that has started to spread across the surface of the shoe. Quote:

Louisa would swear that something furry was perched up on her foot making it extremely warm by the minute. She looked down, in the dim light only a flicker of something moving caught her attention... then a faint smell. "Do yo-" she started to say to Vivi next to her when the entirely unexpected MINDBLOWING fact dawned upon her..
.. and Vickers, from the row behind them, voiced it out. Louisa SQUEAKed again, her eyes widening in both shock AND fear. HER SHOE WAS ON FIRE! In an instant though, Vickers was at her foot patting it with a piece of his clothes. Speechless Louisa all too shocked to speak or do any kind of reaction. HOW did it happen?!! Why?! Who--
GRRRRRR. Of cooooooourse! Her shock faltered to rage as she placed one hand on the boy's shoulder, "Th-thank you. It's gone now, Vick." BREATH BREATH BREATH. She turned and started looking around, frantically, trying to locate the future-to-be Bellatrix Lestrange. Because WHO, in their rightful and sane mind, would set someone's shoe on fire? HMM? Aspen bloody Odessa. ...
That happened.
The flicker of the light had caught her attention just as someone had yelled out it's existence. The same someone who had extinguished it. Having taken out her wand already, Medea turned it away from the students and instead gave a way around the room. The drapes opened, letting in natural sunlight while little streams of smoke floated away from the put out candles. It was going to smell like a birthday cake in here soon enough.
"Thank you, Mister Vanderbilt, for your quick action."
Medea stood silently for a moment, eyeing the class. She did not see how it was created, but shoelaces did not just set themselves on fire. Her theories did not ease her mind either. "I do hope this was just an act of a poltergeist. You all are too smart to cause such atrocity of setting someone on fire." Well, something, but that something was on someone.
West's question came just before she was going to announce the end of the lesson. "An interesting question. In all honesty, it would depend on what creature was bred." She eyed the students once again before turning her gaze to the young Slytherin. "It is difficult to create such a creature that would fit the description of a true dark creature, but...not impossible. Not by our very hands at least. It is a fact that if one adds magic into the mix, it can change the outcome entirely, but if one adds dark magic, then, you may be in for more than you'd expect. Magic is something we can't quite explain, Mister Odessa, especially with so many different variations. It's alive. Much like magical fires, if left long enough, it can create a ripple effect of danger." She was, of course, describing an ashwinder. "Leave it for too long... it can twist itself into something unnatural."
She paused for a moment. "Though I think this is topic for another time. Next lesson perhaps. I believe now is a good time as ever to end the lesson. A few bumps and bruises along the way, but nevertheless, this was a nice refresher for everyone." A little reviewing never hurt...anyone...
There were a couple glances to certain students. All of them Ravenclaws. "Class is dismissed. There will be no homework."
