"Why?"

"Because magic exists and I'm going to school with a ton of people who've known about it all their lives and there's a whole different world? – And also apparently electricity doesn't work. For some reason."

"What really?"

"It's what I heard. I assume we don't need lightbulbs, though, what with – I dunno, flames of never-going-out?"

"… Yeah, basically."

"But why doesn't it work?"

"Uh. Magic interferes with it somehow? I'm not sure. You have, uh, computers, right? Computers use electricity? They don't work near magic."

"Nor, like, an electrical watch. Apparently."

"That's dumb. I'm gonna fix it."

He coughs a few times, and the word "Slytherin" can almost be heard.

"Sounds sorta Ravenclaw-ish, to me."

"… Ravenclaw-ish?" asks Anthony, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah? Or you could say Slytherin-ish? Since ambition."

"Or you could just say it sounds Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Without the ish."

"Well I'm definitely not Slytherin so Ravenclaw-ish, probably."

Anthony raises an eyebrow.

"Ravenclaw could be fun."

"Professor Flitwick said they have a library in their common room!"

"What? Aw, man, no fair!"

"There's a big library in school anyway, isn't there?"

"Well yeah but theirs is exclusive."

"So's the restricted section of the library, if that's a draw."

"Of course it is."

"… If it's called a restricted section, it's probably, y'know, restricted."

"Yep."
