Junia found the antics of the older kids in the class to be quite rude. The mention of runes and thoughts of her grandfather made her wonder if anyone had ever dared to act like that in his lessons. Even the idea of such a thing made the tiny twelve year old's blood boil and she'd decided she would've hexed the pants off them in retaliation. That Katy girl was right in standing up for her family, she was.

Attention having returned to the YATI, Junia thought about his questions. She had no idea what a golem was and besides, Aslan seemed to have that covered. The second year made a mental note to ask her about it later but for now, her clay creature. How could it be made into something dark?

"Small dogs are cute and it's been my experience that lots of people jump at the chance to keep small, adorable creatures. To help them. A dark wizard could use this to their advantage, setting seemingly lost, little dogs around and letting wizarding families take them home and care for them. Only the longer these families have the dogs, the more the comfortable they get, giving the dogs the perfect chance to attack and take them out."

....Or something else. Something else could work, too. The second year smiled and shrugged, her gaze falling back on her clay dog.
