I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

So Terry, when you get back:

You said it's a claw between brown and black. Curved. Longer and narrower than a fingernail, pointed but not super sharp (so not a hunting animal) and fur near the knuckle.

I'm trying to think what sort of animal it might be. Nearly everything with paws has claws -- rabbits do, squirrels do, weasels, rats, bats. Rat claws are pretty sharp, though. Definitely not a lizard or other reptile because those don't have fur.

If you were turning into a weasel (for instance) you'd get a whole lot smaller but maybe that didn't happen because you transformed just one finger? The Headmistress would know for sure but I can't exactly go ask her.

Probably not anything in the cat family, either. Their claws are all very sharp, aren't they?

VERY sharp. If he were turning into a cat he'd have been able to draw blood if he pricked one of his other fingers with it.

Well, if it isn't any sort of cat, what about a wolf? Or a fox?
