"Congratulations everyone, for a spectacular effort, now gather around, I have a few awards to announce."

"Slytherin, I award you 10 points for your efforts," perhaps not as tenacious in this task as some others, but nevertheless, they weren't empty handed.
"Ravenclaw, 20 points for third place..... Hufflepuff, 30 points for second place.... and of course, a huge congratulations to our winners, Gryffindor, I award you, 40 points." And Merlin knew they needed it.

"Throughout the activity, I was also on the lookout for competitors who displayed good sportsmanship... and as a result, I'd like to award Alexa Cambridge, Ethan McCarthy and Laura Hyde 5 points each, for their enthusiasm and willingness to help others."
A wonderful effort, which deserved to be recognised.

"Now, I suggest you all go get yourselves cleaned up, grab something to eat and scoot of to your next class. Have a great day guys!"

OOC: The lesson has officially ended. Thanks to everyone who participated, it was muchly appreciated. Hope you enjoyed it! I'll be closing the thread in approx 7 hours.

A long tendril snaked through a hole in the garden wall and the plants in front of it. Stretching out into the sunshine, it waved around slightly and slapped the ground, searching. Pulling backwards it latched on to what it wanted - the leg of the Gnome hiding in the bushes.

Slowly and carefully it dragged the creature towards the hole, making the leaves rustle and shake loudly. Finally, and with a squeal, the gnome was pulled through the hole to it's doom.


Third place... Vickers gave a sporting smile to everyone in behalf of his house even if deep down he was quite disgruntled with it, which adds to his already sky-high grumpiness that was topped off with his muddied rear end. He was trying to clean himself up but as he doesnt have eyes at the back of his head it was a little tricky aiming that scourgifying spell and goodness knows he doesnt want to accidentally make his entire pants disappear with misplaced evanesco.

On the Professor's go ahead Vickers quickly took up his book bag, already thinking of how much time he has to waste changing and trying not to be late for his next class, which happened to be Charms-- of all the classes not to appear looking like one has spent the morning rolling around in the mud. However he did make it a point to give an sincere pat on the shoulder the few students he saw helping out his house"Gideon, Min, Lex-- thanks for helping out. We really appreciate it." Scoring high on his books they were yup.

As he stomped off the gardens a rough rustling of the leaves and the squealing made him stop short and stare "Oh great... coming back again so soon?" he muttered, obviously thinking about the pernicious behavior of the garden pests. He glanced back at the Professor, would she be needing any backup? If not he will happily scurry back to their quarters for a much needed change of uniform.
