Harry thought on Neville's amendment. "Well, that could be useful, but it doesn't test their read knowledge - that's what essays do, and that's what Minerva and Pomona will tell you." He tapped a finger to his chin, "You could always at least make the essays shorter, save you some trouble." He shrugged. Harry was a DADA professor in more the style of Remus - he was very hands on, and asked the same of his students - but he also knew the subject sort of required essay work. There was a lot to learn, and in-class projects could only do so much.
Harry laughed. "I'm pretty sure we have magicked dolls that are better for that, these days. I distinctly remember Molly buying one for Lily when she was three - it was hell on earth - like having an actual newborn in the house all over again," he sighed, a big put-upon sound. Lily hadn't even been into dolls!
