It would have been awesome if he had. But all it did was remind Nigel that he should go to Zonko's once Hogsmeade opens up and not trip on a skateboard. Oh right class is starting and Nigel was right it was gnomes. Thompson said it right there. They were annoying things. Good thing Nigel did not have a garden or wherever they live. He did know something about gnomes beside the obvious. But it does not have to do with gnomes specifically. Meh whatever, he will just say it.

"I know that a Jarvey can be used to de-gnome a garden"

He knew that because it was brutal and awesome.
