Infuriating! She'd always hated gardening back home because she never knew when a gnome would come running out of the weeds and bite her, so she'd always been slightly paranoid. But now they weren't even in a garden, and the gnomes were just attacking them randomly.

Harriet's spell froze the gnome, but unfortunately it also froze her leg. "GAA!" she screamed as she toppled over, unable to support herself with just one leg. Then the vines started wrapping themselves around the lower half of her body. Well this was just fabulous. *insert sarcasm.*

Thankfully Harriet stopped the vines with a Finite, so she was partly free - just with a numb leg. "Thank you Hattie!" she called out as the Hufflepuff ran to help someone else, meanwhile she was crawling across the floor to receive her wand. She couldn't be mad at the Hufflepuff for trying to help.

She got her wand back up from the floor (though her leg was still stunned) and pointed it up at any gnome who might think of taking advantage of her weakness. Nearby she spotted Maisie looking very scared. "Irretio!" she shouted, pointing her wand to the gnome closest to Maisie.
