The library is full of knowledge. I don't see why everyone wouldn't rush there the moment they arrived.

im not arguing! i just dont know how you figure out where to even start

That I doubt.

[Who knew? Talking to girls was so much easier over text.]

[ Talking to people in text in general was easier. ]

:? why would you doubt that?

Well, obviously you're clever, to have thought of these little faces-- and you seemed quite intelligent when we spoke. So I doubt you'd be unable to navigate a library.

Unwilling, perhaps! But not unable.

ehehehe well, yes, I AM pretty clever!! :p but the faces arent my invention by a long shot and i really like books, too i think i just prefer to get information from people instead? when i can

What sorts of books do you like?
That's fair, though. My friend James is more like that, I think. All my friends are, to be honest; I'm the bookworm of the lot.

science books!! oh my god, science books are the best there is SO MUCH information in such a tiny package formulas and chemistry and things like that precise and simple and SOOOO powerful and also wow yes i am kind of a dork too sorry ._.

Actually, if you'd ever feel inclined, I'd love to learn more about science. My mother taught me very little, but it's utterly fascinating!

:T!!!!! this is not subtle mockery, is it?

No, of course not!

I'm half non-magic-- my mother is non-magical-- so I learnt only a little of it before I was off to school. But I liked what I learned!

the word for that is muggle in your world, right?

It is, yes! I'm a half-blood, you could say.

yessss i knew the crash course draco gave me would come in handy B)

We're no different than anyone else. Magically, I mean. There's no more or less magic based on how much magical blood you have in you.

well, i wouldnt think so hermione is supposed to be really fantastic, isnt she?? wait, idk if you know hermione both of her parents are muggles! and shes like the most talented witch at school with harry

I do. Apparently I'm her teacher in the future.

[A beat.]

I don't know Draco at all. But his father was part of a gang when I went to school that targeted people like me-- half bloods, I mean, people with muggles in their family. So you can understand my wariness when you say he gave you a crash course.

That being said! It sounds like he's given you nothing but the truth.

yes :( and draco used to be a pretty big bully, too but he has grown up a lot he has not really had a choice!! i dont think it was easy for him either, you know? :x he had a lot of decisions made for him at home i promise that he is a very, very sweet boy and also i hope that you wont hold any of that stuff against him :/

I've already talked to him. Our general agreement seems to be: let's start over. There's little use in holding old grudges and letting generations repeat themselves.

Are you two close, then?

good!! i am glad to hear that it is really super important that everyone works together here ._. and, um, yes! you could definitely say that

Absolutely. And that's good! He could use a friend like you, I think.

In any case: science! You should teach it to me, if you feel inclined. And I could tell you a bit about magic, anything you're curious about.

welllll... a little more than just a friend T_T but regardless!! i would love to teach you science! also how do you feel about botany? :p

I'd love to teach it, if that's what you're asking.

oh, nope!! i was gonna offer to teach you if you need any plants ever in that case, though, let me know! i have the growth power and its as strong as it can possibly be :3

How long did it take you?

+

I'd love to learn

What should I teach you? I'd feel awful not giving anything in this exchange.
