☠ 002

[ficklefuckwit]

So i know this book of monsters is meant to have a bit of an attitude problem.
But the blasted thing has stolen my shoe.
I believe i can get it to abandon it by dangling my second one but i can only be in one place at one time.
So im not quite sure how to go from dangling the bait to retrieving my other shoe without losing something more important than the first shoe.
Any suggestions?

[For anyone in the Gryffindor boys' dorm, Jake has spent the last hour or so standing on his bed and trying various methods of reclaiming his lost shoe from under it with the vicious book. Naturally, he's warned any of his bunkmates of the danger, but that doesn't mean he's had any better luck getting the thing to relinquish his shoe.]

Maybe you could toss something in the middle of the floor and when the book goes for it, stun the book.

Why don't you try and find somebody willing to be live bait?

Maybe you should just accept the loss of your shoe. That thing is a tad terrifying.

Have you tried using any sort of magic to immobilize it? I'm sure there must be a spell that can help you with that.
