"Oh, they're quite real and quite vicious at times. But if you can catch them and toss them before they have a chance to damage your garden, then your vegetables turn out much better." Percy couldn't count the number of time's he'd been sent off to toss the gnomes, though he fondly remembered the glee some of his brothers showed as they did the job. "And yes, it's quite amazing at that."

Percy held back a groan at the sight of the boy showing Lucy how to handle the ball. She was going to want one, he had no doubt, and would want to practice in the house. It reminded him of when she'd 'borrowed' a bludger from her Uncle George and he'd spent weeks putting items back together. It endeared him, however, to see her happily engaging with the young boy.

"That's all right," he said with a shrug as she mentioned not recognizing the regulars. "I'm not always as observant of those around me when I'm following her around and trying to prevent her from buying out the shop. But we'll certainly say hello on our next visit now that we've had a chance to meet properly."

He nodded. "That's quite understandable. It's a sad period in our recent history and it's a terrible shame that it happened, and that so many were affected by it." He to this day had some lingering guilt over his own actions - or rather inactions - during that time, but like so many, he'd feared for his life. He had, however, done what he could despite his own treatment under the old regime. "It is quite thankful that you missed it. Where out of country did you go? You and your son have quite interesting accents, though his is more pronounced than yours."
