Just as he was deciding to call it a day, he had no jelly slugs left anyway, he heard a disturbance behind him and he quickly whipped around to see what was going on. The sight before him caused his eyes to widen and his mouth to open in surprise.

How was it that he had been out here for probably over an hour and this girl is here for five minutes and she managed to catch herself a gnome? Michael quickly made his way over to her. "That's my gnome." he stated rather matter-of-factly.

It wasn't until he was right beside the girl did recognition flicker in his eyes. "Hey! I know you. We met in Diagon Alley. Tora, right?" She had been looking for quills, the same as him. And if he also remembered correctly she was a second year, same as him.

he belatedly realised that he hadn't answered her question and he rested back on his haunches and blinked at her. He had thought that was rather obvious. "I was trying to lure out a gnome. So that I could wrestle with it." Duh!

It was that boy from the shop! "Quills! Right. And you're Michael, right?" she said coming up before diving back on top of the gnome before it could get away.

"Who ever said it was your gnome? I'm the one who caught it after all." she said raising her eyebrows. Michael might have lured it there, but Tora was the one to actually pay attention enough to notice it (and then pin it down after).

Suddenly the gnome gave a great heave and threw Tora off balance. "Just a mo!" she huffed before tackling it back down to the ground. Once the excitable gnome was more firmly placed face first in the dirt she continued on, "Ok. So why would you want to wrestle with a gnome anyway?" She was currently wrestling a gnome, and trust her, it wasn't as much fun as it was made out to be. Maybe if she had some sort of gnome-catcher something to help her it wouldn't be as bad, but as she didn't have anything that would qualify.

After the gnome was quiet for a bit, Tora actually looked up at the person who she was having a conversation with. She needed to get off the subject of this gnome, and so of course the first thing that comes to mind when speaking to any other student from Hogwarts... "So I didn't catch what house you were at the store. I'm Ravenclaw. You are?" It was hard to tell she was in Ravenclaw when she didn't have her robes on, so she just stated her house instead of having him guess like she would normally.
