He had his gloves in his hand, ready to put them on, but didn't move to do so just yet. Instead, he sidled up to Thompson.
"Professor T," Toby said ever-so-casually, with a teeny tiny smile. Thompson. Mr T. My main maaaaaaan. "Is this... will it hurt them? Isn't it kind of... mean?"
Of course, if not, he would do it. But y'know. It helped to ask, right?
Ah, it was the
Tobester young Tempus. Javy was letting the Professor T slide with his anxious behavior and question. At least that's what the reason could pass off as by. "
Not necessarily, as there won't be any need to physically harm them."

That was well gotten rid of. Sometimes, Transfiguration could prove really useful and now she was proper ready and entered the garden.
This Prefect's attempt at changing the colour of the gloves didn't work, instead spraying out glitter onto her face and clothes before returning to its pink and glittery shine. Luckily that was removeable as Javy quietly used his wand to vaccuum the glitter on the ground and air.

Pink and glittery.....seriously?
The boy raised an questionable eyebrow at the man as he picked up a pair. "You have weird taste..." he said and pulled on the gloves. If only he knew how to change colors...
"
Thank you.." Javy was not offended, instead satisfied with his favorite dark-blue coloured gloves donned on.

While Javy didn't have an extra pair of eyes behind his back, his hearing made up for it. "
That'll be five points Mr. Striker."

HAHAHHA. "Stop being SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hufflepuff, Toby." Amiright? SO Hufflepuff.
"
Settle down, Miss Kettleburn." Though that was asking too much out of some of his students. "
There will indeed be a reward for the most satisfactory work." Whether it was just houses points... or more, they would find out momentarily.
Waiting until the last student(s) entered in did Javy shut the gate behind. "
Alright, gather around everyone." Making sure they were still standing before continuing, "
Now that we've entered their 'territory' they should be more visible any-"
As if on cue, one unsightly-looking Gnome was running amok heading toward Javy's legs to make for a nice teething ring. Waiting until it was close enough, Javy raised his foot with the sole of his shoe meeting its face blocking it from moving any closer whilst still running in place.
"
Anyways," Carrying on as if he wasn't interrupted, "
You are to find one, capturing it without the use of brute force or damaging spells if they aren't already chasing after you." Aiming his wand at the still running Gnome he silently casted a spell, sending it to fall on its back laughing. "
Once that's done, you are to grab them by its feets or hands," Calming walking with the still laughing Gnome after holding it by its feet, "
making sure there's enough space surrounding you, take it for a spin," So there the Professor was spinning, almost like a ballerina before stopping suddenly to send the Gnome flying... past the fence into the tall grass area.
"
Very simple.. just be sure not to overdue it, you want the Gnome to be dizzy instead of you when you send it." Though if it helped some, he wouldn't stop them from the risk on failing the throw. "
As painful as it might sound the idea on them landing on the ground, their massive heads happen to serve as a cushion softening their impact." So yes, they weren't being harmed as the one thrown could be seen jumping up and down now in an attempt to come back over the fence. It was much too short to do so.
"
Now the rules," Cue any groaning that may happen, "
If you happen to use your foot to stop them, do not punt them over no matter how tempting it may be." Well, that was the major one. "
You're to send at least two gnomes over the fence. Anymore and you could be due for the major reward." Extra points? Chance to void homework? He would reveal that for the very end. "
When you're ready now get to it."
OOC: As demonstrated, you are to complete the activity by sending two gnomes over the fence.
-Stop a Gnome with your foot (Do not punt them), non-attacking spell, etc.
-Take them by their feet so they dangle upside down with their mouths away from your hands
-Spin around enough times before releasing them.
-Make sure they land over into the pen with the tall grass and other objects for them to hit. When you miss (since no one's perfect) simply go after it and try again.
This should take at least eight posts to complete, remember to label them. You have until May 19th, 11 pm EST to finish.
