"Did you have porcelain garden gnomes?" she asked curiously.
"No. My neighbors did. That's what started my obsession with explosions, because I would set firecrackers under them, and occasionally inside them, just to watch them shatter. They always were replaced though, with exactly the same ones," said Nate, having a flashback to fourth grade at his muggle school, "My neighbors were freaks. Well, I was a wizard, so I guess that counts me as a freak in that situation, but they were just plain weird. Gnomes and cats. They had about 30 cats..." said Nate, smiling and shaking his head.
