Cornish Pixies making havoc.

A Pixie is a small, bright blue mischief-maker, and loves tricks and practical jokes. It is able to fly, and enjoys lifting people up by their ears and depositing them on the tops of trees and buildings. Pixies can only communicate with other pixies. Their voices are described as "so shrill it was like listening to a lot of arguing budgies". They bear live young.

[edit] History

In 1992, Gilderoy Lockhart brought a group of them to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during his tenure as Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. He lost control of them, and attempted to round them up using the incantation Peskipiksi Pesternomi, this however did not work, as Lockhart most likely made it up on the spot. The Pixies picked up Neville Longbottom by the ears and attacked other classmates who were trying to whack them with their books. Lockhart hurried out of the room, asking Harry, Ron, and Hermione to "nip the rest of them back into their cage." Hermione Granger ended the riot using a Freezing Charm.

Hermione uses the Freezing Charm to stop the rampaging pixies.
