Oh no....thought Kitty as three gnomes ran at her and her spell only stopped one. Before she could react, one had jumped on her feet and another was swinging towards her arm.

"Oww!!!" she shouted, screaming in pain as the evil little thing bit her ankle. It hurt so badly she dropped her wand, it clattered to the floor - sending sparks flying. She stumbled sideways and nearly fell to the floor.

The gnomes were still on her and she was angry now. She kicked with her free foot at the gnome who bit her ankle, simultaneously trying to shake the other gnome off her arm. "GET OFF ME YOU LITTLE CREEPS!!!" Her ankle still hurt like crazy.

Luckily she had help from Harriet, who was trying to stun the gnomes. Kitty was too preoccupied to say thank you, but she appreciated the help and tried to position herself so the Hufflepuff's spells hit the gnomes and not her.
