Cutty's hand went up too quickly when Thompson asked about the different ways of getting a puffskein to do exercise. He had to quickly withdraw it when the Professor gave the limitation of legality, however and that set him back to the drawing board.
Meanwhile, other students gave their answers...

I used his love of carrots against him." Okay, so maybe it was a one time experiment, and Titus had bitten Mo afterwards, but it had worked... one time.
Cutty noticed that whenever Mo Branxton spoke about animals it was always recounting an unusual experience. Like the kruppie relieving itself story in Ancient Runes. What Cutty would've given to have been there.
He stared at the Ravenclaw Captain for a minute considering him, before turning his attention elsewhere.
You know, using someone's love for something against them really wasn't a bad idea.

Chocolate tastes nice, but can make you feel chubby. They like boogers, but I wouldn't leave a trail of those, because ewww." Boogers were gross.
Shudder.
The cute little Puff from Ancient Runes was there and sort of thinking along the same lines as the Ravie Captain.
How many calories were in a bogey? Text Cut: Alice & LOLOLOLOL...Puff-jocks! <3

... that didn't sound far-fetched, did it?
She would pay to see that, so it couldn't have been.
Cutty's expression brightened when he heard Alice mention puffskein quidditch, but he was not at all imagining anything which even remotely resembled Alice's vision for this. Recalling that his was a fusion class of Care of Magical Creatures and Charms he took a minute whilst the other students answered to deduce that they were looking for a very specific answer and one that was possibly related to charms. Remembering the sound of the rabbits claws from last year as it struggled to get away from him and he Carpe Retracted it back for spell practice, his hand went up again, "
You could use charms to provide resistance to motion like."
