Weasely

Dictionary.com says it isn't a word, but M says that weasely is his favorite new word. He read in his current book that the only way to kill a basilisk is to trap it in a weasel's den and the 'weasely' smell will kill it.

How handy to know...you know, in case I'm ever confronted by a basilisk. I suggested to M that perhaps he should carry around eau de weasel just to be on the safe side. Though, perhaps a mirror would be handy too - previously I've read that if you can get a basilisk to look at itself in a mirror, that will kill it.

Here's a basilisk, in case you're curious.
