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.

I'm not sure he'd really like to do that. When you think about it.

I mean, it would really be sort of nasty, wouldn't it?

Oh, er...yeah. I suppose it would.

Sorry.

Hullo, Luna.

He shouldn't have to actually chew it, what? I mean to say, he could spit it out.

I would do.

But it would certainly solve his problem!

Urgh!

I say, old chap, that's an excellent idea.

Terry: if you turn into a bear, spit Carrow's head out after you bite it off.
