As the new school-year's rose fingers touch the sky I have the luxury of indulging my latest students with a myriad of approaches. Today, a student wearing a necklace dangling a large alligator's tooth shared not only this decoration with me, but also that he or she had been told that this tooth could be considered a weapon. Upon being asked by this young student if this was true I immediately launched into a Harry Potter explanation, an explanation that hopefully answered itself.
"Such a tooth can be considered a weapon, particularly if this tooth has been infused with the blood of a basilisk and you are attempting to destroy a diary written by Tom Riddle, or any other Horcrux. Other than that, I do not perceive this lone gator tooth as dangerous or threatening in any way. Thank you for asking."
Please advise me if I have led this student astray. A representative from the orthodontic lobby is pestering me as I write!
