"You don't like robes?"

"I don't know. I've never worn robes before."

"Neither have I, but they're cool and wizardly!"

"They're all swooshy!"

"Yeah!"

"You can have mine, and I'll wear real clothes."

"Scott, robes are part of the school rules. You don't want to break the rules before you've even been to the castle, do you?"

"Didn't you see all those magical people around? Robes are their normal clothes."

"Muggle clothes, then. I like those better. You can wear normal wizard clothes."

"Aw come on they're so cool!"

"You think robes are cool and not magical creatures. You're just wrong about things."

"Scott, we don't say that!"

He giggles anyway. "It's like Gandalf! All we need is a pointy hat now!"

"Hats are cool," he concedes.

"Being a wizardly wizard is so awesome."

"We should probably get you a telescope."

"Oh yeah! I don't want to miss anything in astronomy."

Telescope it is!

"I'm sure we won't miss anything."

"Do you think stars are boring too?"

"No, stars are awesome, but worst-case you could borrow someone else's telescope, I think."

"Mom, he likes stars but not plants."

"Most people do, honey." 

He pouts. 

They retrieve a telescope.

So do they!

"I don't dislike plants. It's just animals who hate me, and plants are okay."

"I'll just find animals who like you! You'll see."
