"Eww, figures a Weasley would enjoy playing with such a retched creature" Perpetua says "Does it say how to kill it? Is there a spray or enchantment to get rid of them"

A bit concerned about Perpetua's question Professor Hallows gives her a strange look. "yes Miss Weasley, you are correct." She said "Today we will be practicing safely throwing gnomes." She watched as Perpetua's face went pale white.

In a way she felt bad for the girl, and wonders what it would be like for her if she was raised in a different home. Her daydream was cut short when she noticed everyone staring at her.

"Oh yes, the gnomes.. are we ready?"

Prof. Hallows dumps out a bag of gnomes. "The farthest distance and the most gnomes caught get 5 house points each. And each of you must throw at least one gnome."

Lucretia eyes went wide
'wait, i have to touch it?'

"Perhaps you could wear a glove or put a hankercheif between your hand and the gnome" Caroline said helpfully. She grinned and darted towards the gnomes. It took her awhile to catch one...she had never been very good, but at last she did and she swung it like a lassoo and let go. The gnome soared into the air and thwacked against one of the trees of the forest. She had never been very good at distance either. But oh well.

Lucretia swallowed a little letting her dignity fall a little
'i wont have no weasley beat me'

she looked around and prepared to launch her attack

Horrified from the fact that now she too HAS to touch one of these creatures she thinks. "Jinkies come here"

*CRACK* her house elf appears

Perpetua points to the gnomes

"that one, and throw it far" She orders. The house elf grabs a gnome and throws it, almost as far as the Weasley girl's gnome. The house elf then disapparates back to the Lestrange Manor

**Caroline Weasley** · **Caroline Weasley** on Thu Oct 30, 2008 12:41 pm

Caroline blinked at the elf, she wasn't sure if that was fair or not. She decided to let the professor worry about it and set about grabbing more gnomes. She managed to hurl three more, each one going a little farther. She just needed to warm up.

Lucretia was actually starting to enjoy this a little, however she didnt let it show on her face, she was determined, she grabbed one of the little creatures and swung it around above her head, throwing it with all her might, she waited to watch it fall
