Magical Contract - Goosh's Magical Mischief-makers

[Ikkin]

Goosh's contract:

I need help! My garden is overrun with gnomes, and Gilderoy Lockhart released a tribe of Cornish pixies in the living room! (And his book doesn't help, either. >_>) Also, I may or may not be chased by an Inferus/Dragon/Voldemort.

***

Since two days have gone by since the first request, I'm starting this one. The end date for this one is May 22nd. The first request can still be worked.

Pending requests:

• Goosh's Magical Mischief-maker Problem (Solution due by May 22nd)

Finished requests:

• Mr. A's Love Trouble (Solution due by May 20th)

So, get to helping.

Goosh:
Have you tried 'Magic Pest-Be-Gone'? It's Ministry approved, and it really helped with my giant bed bug problem. The best part is: It seems to work with ALL kinds of pests, so it should help with your other problem. And there are no known side-effects, but then again, nobody checks the sprayed pests for side-effects.

Goosh:
Just freeze all the pests, and put them in a chest and throw them to the bottom of the ocean. Duh.

Goosh:

Wow, you have quite an infestation there. The easiest way to get rid of them would be to hire an exterminator, but if you can't afford one, or just want to deal with them yourself for some reason, here are some suggestions.

For the pixies, just spray them with Doxycide. If you're having trouble catching them, hit them with Gilderoy Lockhart's book first. It's easily heavy enough. (Note: Doxycide is made for doxies, which are a good deal tougher than pixies, so if you have qualms about killing pixies, don't use it.) You can also chase them around and hit them with heavy objects, or try to catch them in very heavy nets, but that's a huge pain.

For the gnomes, start by getting them out of their holes. It's a good idea to have a friend or two handy to fill in the holes once you've done this. Horklumps will work wonders as bait, if you can get them. When you have them all out, chase them with something loud or flashy (magic can generate great effects for this) for a long distance, and then stop and walk quickly and quietly back to your house. If you have an invisibility cloak, now is the time to use it. The gnomes will be too stupid to find their way back if you've chased them a sufficient distance and make sure they can't follow you.

As for the Inferus, dragon, and Lord Voldemort... I really hope you're joking. If it's an Inferus, a simple, decent-strength fire spell should keep it away from you. The dragon is tougher. Hopefully it isn't trying to attack you, in which case all you can do is run as fast as you can. Throwing distracting spells around may help as well. If it isn't too interested in you, or doesn't know where you are, hide, and see how quickly you can get away WITHOUT letting it know you're there.

If Voldemort's chasing you, on the other hand, all you can do is search frantically for a main character to hide behind. Those people are invincible, although you better make sure that they're directly between you and the Dark Lord, because he absolutely loves killing people in front of main characters. Hopefully he'll become distracted and more interested in the main character(s). That's your chance to get away.

Hope this helps, and hope you get out of this situation alive.

Okay, prize time. ^^

For most effective, Salah wins 250 cookie points, for being so comprehensive and giving a logical solution to the Voldemort problem.

For most creative, I can't decide. >.> So both Surf and Omni split the prize and win 175 cookie points each for the awesome mental image of Voldemort frozen in the air like a pixie and of spraying Voldemort with pest-be-gone. X3
