With his stomach now filled with pumpkin juice from the Great Hall, Adi took off for the rest of the Castle and soon found himself before the Hall of Statues. If he remembered correctly, Beatrice had used statues for the younger students to transfigure them into mushrooms. Yep, here would be perfect to continue with his practice then.

The moment he entered the Hall, he found the Hippogriff statue. Even in marble the creature looked majestic and real. After casting a fond look at the thing, he moved over to the statue to the Griff's right. A grindylow. You, Mr Grindylow, had the honour of being turned into a mushroom. LOL.

Adi started off by practicing the wand movement and then the incantation silently. When he was pretty sure he was ready, he raised his wand. ''Fungifors!'' Annnnd there went the 'n' shaped movement. Adi waited for five seconds before figuring no mushroom was coming. Drat!

"Fungifors!'' he tried again silently. Nope, still nothing. Ahhh, what a stubborn grindylow! He tried twice more before FINALLY! A pinkish umbrella mushroom lay before him. Wheeee!
