Cassandra came out to the student gardens... Great... Lee, Inagaki and Slughorn... She did not wish to be seen by them so she hid behind a bush. In her haste, however, her anckle got caught in a gnome hole and she tripped, alerting the gnome who inhabited it.

The gnome came out, angry... nostrils flaring. It took a rock and tossed it with precision towards Cassandra's head. "Protego!" She said trying to get back to her feet, but failing miserably. Her anckle had begun to swell and the gnome moved at a fast speed trying to hit the girl on the head.

"Stop That!" The stupid creature was not only hitting her in the same spot over and over again, but he was making a lot of noise. Drat! If she'd only had paid attention to her house elf whist he was degnoming the garden... She had no Idea how to get rid of this creature.

Stupid Ocean Tea Jones, not doing his job! There should be no gnomes in the student gardens. Oh! Flobberdung! "Icarus!" Cassandra said pointing her wand at the creature, who grew wings.

The creature seemed to be pleasantly surprized by the change and began fluttering towards the lake. Good riddance... but she could not move, and now that the adrenaline was gone, the pain was beginning to take over. Had she broken her anckle?! Oh dear Merlin no, not with the all male 'I hate Trelawney' club nearby. She sat there, silent, hoping the boys hadn't heard the gnome. She would rather suffe- "Ow!"
