He flicked the pixie from his eye with his wand, and then shouted "Stupefy!" as it flew back towards him. Before the stunned pixie had even hit the ground, Nate had strode over to another toadstool and torn off the cap, perhaps a bit too violently, but alas there was no damage done to the cap. One more to go! he thought
Pixies attacked like a swarm of hungry
vashta nerada. Knowing full well that he may lose points, but wanting desperately to leave, Nate pointed his wand through the cloud at the nearest toadstool (there was nobody in between it and him besides the pixies) and quietly said "Accio Toadstool", hoping that Professor Bentley hadn't noticed. The toadstool hit him in the stomach, and he caught it before it could fall to the floor.
Right, matter of safety... he thought, remembering his loss of points only a few minutes ago. He closed his eyes and mouth tight and twisted off his final cap. He was finally done! The pixies, unfortunately, did
not seem to think so, and continued pulling at his hair, plunging into his nose, and scratching at his face. Nate pointed his wand at the pixies on his face, and he was very careful to do this, so as to not stun himself. "Stupefy!" he yelled, and about three pixies were frozen.
He did this again and again until he could see. Nate retrieved his other caps, made to the front of the greenhouse, dumped the caps in the box, and ran from the greenhouse, swatting away at the remaining pixies on his face.
