It was actually fun watching his peers do the de-gnoming. From small first years trying to catch the creature without the help of magic, to the toughie looking older boys who looked rather stupid chasing and being chased by the gnome. So much for poise and such. Hehehe.

Ethan turned as he heard their professor call out the next instruction.

Wait that was it? He was just taking a breather, and now the class is done? Just like that? The Slytherin shrugged and walked towards the professor to claim the promised reward. They were to toss at least two gnomes, yeah? He managed to get at least 10 creatures across the pen, so he was way beyond safe to get out of the garden.

The Slytherin gave the professor a nod as he removed his own gloves, dunked his hand inside the bag and got himself a piece of the reward. Ethan examined it by turning it over and over in his hand.

Shrug.

“Thanks, Professor!” Ethan beamed at the man, pocketed his reward and made his way out of the garden dancing. It was indeed, a good day.
