With Bella and Apollo joining him, Jude and Freddie, it certainly seemed like it was gonna be mostly 7th years coming out to help. That was until Desiree and Professor Carton had both made their way to the garden starting the influx of younger students and professors. He smiled as Aunt Hads joined the fray with Professor Devries not far behind as Professor Hernandez gathered them with his words. A good sized group to accomplish what they set out to do today for the benefit of the garden and potions by extension.

Gnome chucking…how fun.

Rajesh entered the now open gate into the garden proper and spread out a little to avoid spinning into a fellow human before eying the nearest gnome that came near him. It took some maneuvering because they sure could be quick, but the seventh year finally managed to grab hold of both ankles and lifted the creature off the ground. Even still the gnome tried to grab hold of an anchor to keep himself grounded. The Ravenclaw won out though, taking aim over the fence and spinning.

One…two…three…THROW!


-------------------------------------------------


A familiar owl had come to perch on one of the fence posts out of the direct line of fire from the tossed gnomes. Celeste certainly didn’t want to wind up being knocked down herself. But if there was anything she and her husband had learned in their own experiences with the troublesome creatures, was they weren’t fans of being around large birds. Incredibly useful information in a household that had two animangus’ with raptor forms and hawk and owl familiars. So she was going to try and do her part…attempting to keep the gnomes from wanting to climb back through the fence and defeating the purpose of the tossing.

Wings partly outstretched, the great horned owl could look intimidating. Come at her…she dared you. She certainly wouldn’t mind scooping them up if need be. Then they’d certainly be carried away.
