Since no one, not even the professor himself, responded to his decoration question...Atlas decided that Professor Hernandez did indeed do such things if for no other reason than it was an amusing thought. Listen, he knew some found all this gnome tossing and whatever inhumane, but this Gryffindor was not one of those people. Still, mostly, avoiding eye contact with his Head of House, the seventh year simply nodded along to the professor explanation of ignorance regarding gnomes and only briefly shifted his attention back to Jude when the Hufflepuff offered some additional perspective. "Huh, here I thought it was leprechauns who were associated with gold and treasure."
Again, not a creatures person unless they belonged to the bug and insect variety.
The Gryffindor offered the Transfiguration professor a mildly curt nod in acknowledgement to the greeting, the blonde stumble stepped a bit when the much bulkier build of Freddie bumped him back. Gnomes might not be the only ones getting their heads in a spin this afternoon. "...yeah...sure...it would be embarrassing for him if it hadn't been." Not that Atlas was projecting or anything - he would be lucky not to fall over backwards himself while trying to get the gnome all dizzy because HE got dizzy.
Also...the shrieking? REALLY not appreciated!
Sighing mostly to himself as Freddie and Raj went off and made things look easy, Atlas was in no mood to go chasing after gnomes and instead had somewhat planned ahead so he could lure some to him. Work smarter, nor harder. Patting his pockets and pushing aside his metal matchsticks from Nemesis, Atlas found the edge of a box of Bertie Bott's which he then pulled out from his pocket and gave a very spirited shake to draw attention to himself and the object of gnomish affection.
Heeeeeere gnomie gnomie gnomie....come get the nice sugary candy and you may luck out with a worm one to boot.
