"Correct,"
"They certainly can." Most birds don't want to be bothered by a creature running around them. As for her question. "It's not necessarily magical parents who attract their appearance but on the magical properties in the garden from their prey that get them to appear." Hence why he wasn't allowed to 'help' out in the garden at his muggle parents anymore when visiting.
Now didn't this tale sound familiar? Recognising it Javy commented, "Unfortunately, that's not the case with every type of gnome."
Though Javy was a little behind on the Quidditch news (outside of Hogwarts, of course), this didn't give him any problems in answering, "Gnomes in packs could get rambuctious if not dealt with properly.." The war thing though.. Well, everyone was prone to exagerrate anything.
"You're certainly not alone with that opinion." Though Javy was looking for an actual fact.
"That's an interesting theory, Mr. Branxton." Now if only it could be proven.
Merlin knew how these students spent their childhood, as Javy had to imagine one wrestling a Gnome. Least he did contribute. "Correct, also occasionally known as Gernumblies." So it wasn't as much of a mouthful.
"Correct, their numbers are in no danger of decreasing."
"Correct."
Well this one was certainly excited by her jumping. "..Thank you for sharing that." He commended her enthusiasm though.
"
Good, most of you have some knowledge if not experience on them." Well, those who answered anyway.
"
Now then, as I'm sure some of you are imagining we will be de-gnoming the garden here." But first off, "
For those of you who neglected to bring own your gloves today do not worry, I have brought spare ones for you to use." Gesturing the basket by his feet. They were unfortunately permanently charmed to remain pink and glittery thanks to a certain individual. Ahem. "
Once your gloves are on, go on through the gate and wait for further instructions." Unlocking it, they were free to move in now.

OOC: As instructed, take/don on a glove and enter into the garden. Next post will be later today. =)
Writing everything down in her journal rapid-fire style, the second year allowed the lesson to sink in fully, a smile forming on her pink lips.
Degnoming a garden? Awesome. Anything that needed gloves was awesome, because gloves in class meant dangerous things were coming. And Caelen kind of liked dangerous. Dangerous meant adventure. And the small girl had a propensity for adventure. This was going to be a fun class.
Smiling hard and clapping in excitement, the girl found that she really couldn't wait to degnome the garden. Slipping her gloves on like the second year was abut to go perform surgery, the Ravenclaw quickly thought of how this would be performed. It was important to get your head in the game with things like this. Running a gloved hand through her shoulder length hair, she sighed and then quickly tore the glove off of her hand and checked to make sure there was no dirt in her hair. Following everyone else, the twelve year old went into the garden and got ready to work. Her grade HAD to be awesome this year.
