Gold raised a hand. "Metallic objects," she said, simply. "I've often seen that people find them one of the easiest ways to overcome a Kappa, if they can't get their hands on - or don't know how to conjure - a cucumber inscribed with their name. Kappas have a natural tendency to back off from metallic objects. They won't harm you, if they can sense that you possess one - and, even if you don't, it's easy to transfigure something into a metallic body." Defence meets Transfiguration.

"Other than that, I find that two of the easiest ways out are fire and noise, sir. Fire's easy to conjure, doesn't give a Kappa time to think or work out an escape route, and makes sure it stays away from one. Noise can be the most effective way out, if you don't have a wand. Kappas detest abrupt, loud noises, and that's where a person can bring his or her surroundings into play." Creativity in defence. One of her strengths, as Gold liked to think. "Clank things together, throw something into a wall. Or, if you do have a wand, use that to this effect."

Quietly, she lowered her hand.
