Eden briefly considered her three options for invading acromantula lairs.

The riverside path seemed like an easy choice - they'd have the advantage of water. The choice was made even easier once she heard Ash come through with a trusty Ravenclaw game of 20 questions. God, she loved her house. Skepticism included.

Except. WAIT. Now she had questions to add too, and she slipped next to Ash to bombard Professor Headmaster with her own curiosity. "Wait, sir, are the acromantulas FAKE?"

It was obvious that this prospect disappointed Eden. Fake acromantulas wouldn't have real venom!

And now there was that loud little Slytherin joining their cohort. And Ivy! Fire was always fun, especially if the spiders could swim. Eden wasn't interested in blowing up REAL acromantulas, however. The waste of precious resources would give her nightmares. "Does accio work on spider brains?" And spider pincers..."Or if they're fake, we could just do what she says and fire-bomb the nest. Or we could make the ground sticky, if anyone knows how to do that."

She NEEDED to know if they were fake. Her approach depended on it.
