The garden gnome slowly stood up still feeling quite dazed and confused from his most recent flight over the garden fence courtesy of either Gred or Forge Weasley.
As he regained his balance and took in his new surroundings, the garden gnome couldn't help but have a little chuckle to himself.
Didn't Mrs. Weasley realise that he, along with his friends, would return to delightful, overgrown garden sooner or later?
Didn't she realise that the methods she found in that book of hers, written by the pretty boy Gilderoy Lockhart, were nothing more than a temporary quick fix, and wouldn't get rid of even the thickest of their bunch on a permanent basis?
He spun around on spot taking in the horizon and trying to locate a familiar landmark. He eventually spotted the large oak tree which towered above all the others, and he knew that he should be heading in that direction.
The garden gnome started the long, and familiar walk back towards The Burrow, wondering just how long it would be before he would be making this journey once again.
As he reached the edge of the garden, he saw that a few of his comrades had already made it back and in the process of throwing themselves a home-coming party as they normally do whenever Mrs. Weasley had a clear out.
He burrowed under the fence, and greeted his friends with a hug before making his way into their makeshift house and getting himself a drink.
