A stout little gnome with a particularly round potato shaped head noticed not one but TWO of his friends begin flung by that stinky old Herbology professor (Tapio) so he charged RIGHT at his ankles, tiny little gnome teeth out in a ferocious (for a gnome) growl.

Amongst the chaos, another gnome spotted a friend in danger - and the boy (Milo) was going on about wanting to harvest his saliva?! How rude! He must save his friend! He ran straight at him, taking his tiny gnome fists and smacking his shin over and over in an attempt to get him to drop him.

Another one made for the fence where some of the older students were gathered - only to comically stop DEAD in their tracks at the sight of an OWL (Celeste) (wasn't it daytime?! What was an owl doing here?!) and immediately turned tail and headed the other direction. Nope. Not today, Mister (or Misses?) owl! He instead turned his attention to a younger girl (Aurora) who was screeching as she flung his companion over the fence. Aha. Target acquired! He raced towards her, arms flailing as he did his best to scare the girl with his very fearsome SNARL (nevermind the fact that this particular gnome was the runt of the group and hardly bigger than a golden snitch).


Having decided that getting rid of one singular small gnome was probably about the most amount of help that Aurora would be able to provide the group, the eleven year old was contemplating just mingling herself in amongst the group and pretending that she was doing an amazing job. That was until a tiny snarling creature came racing itself towards her and the blonde let out a terrified scream as it bared its teeth and targeted HER.

There was nothing in Professor Hernandez announcement to say that they were about to become Gnome food! Did gnomes EAT small children?! Were gnomes like sharks and when one bit and drew blood they would all be attracted to the smell and soon Aurora would be overwhelmed by tiny evil chomping machines! Had the first years been lulled to their DOOM by someone who was supposed to be looking after them and that was why it was mainly the older students here who knew they wouldn’t be the targets. Well this wasn’t at all like the smiley happy fishing gnome at her Grandma’s house which she would be SCARRED FOR LIFE from every time she saw it now.

With her feet kicking out in front of her to ward off any oncoming attack and with a loud girlish squeal which she was pretty sure her sister would be able to hear from the tower, the Ravenclaw ran and hid behind Professor Hernandez throwing her gloves in the general direction of the Gnome and hoping that the Professor would be able to protect her from death by garden gremlins!
