Stealth. Stealth was key!

Ethan got both of his hands in front of him as he spotted a gnome, whose backside was facing him. The Slytherin got a huge grin on his face and was about to grab the gnome by its leg when he stepped on a twig, alerting his prey. The gnome turned around and began to run towards Ethan. He would have stuck his foot out, but since he was crouching, he instead got his hand out and got hold of the gnome’s potato head.

“You will try!” Ethan said out loud as the gnome started jogging in place and flailed its arms trying to reach Ethan. The boy could swear that the gnome was telling him to get his hands off it. “Eh…not gonna happen mate.” Ethan grabbed its leg as he stood up and pointed at the gnome which was now upside down. “You are not to go back! Is that understood?” Obviously, the gnome didn’t understand a word he said.

The Slytherin spun around a couple of times and threw the gnome across. Ethan cupped his ear dramatically until he heard a dull thud.

Ethan – 3 , Gnomes – 0.
