This is not a shouting match, but it could get that way any moment now.
"I'm not impugning your quality, Mr. Ollivander, but if you don't want to sell me a wand -"
"I have sold you a wand, Miss Swan, and if you say it does not suffice for your purposes I do not see how else I could possibly interpret you."
"Only in quantity!" she says. "I just want two."
"With an attitude like that you might one day find yourself in possession of two pieces -"
"That's exactly the sort of reason I want a second! If you won't sell me one -"
"I have sold you one, good day, Miss Swan!" Ollivander turns to the next customer. "Pardon her. What can I do for you today?"

"This is Karen," Miranda says, when Karen doesn't introduce herself. Miranda is almost finished eating and Karen appears to have been satisfied with most of a cantaloupe slice and some toast.

Sadde decides she's not particularly hungry and just serves herself some hot chocolate and some toast. "Nice to meet you!" she tells Karen, apparently oblivious to the girl's discomfort. "So I guess we'll have Charms together," she adds conversationally.

Willow is not as oblivious as Sadde, but she's about as tactless. "Hey Karen, are you okay?"

Willow shrugs. "Alright," she says, then grabs a strawberry.
Sadde looks between both of them, somewhat bemused, then shrugs herself and finishes drinking and eating her breakfast.

Eventually even Willow finishes eating. "I'm so excited about Charms! I wonder what we'll learn."

Willow grabs her own bag and pretends she's holding an invisible wand. "Maybe they'll teach us how to turn our wands into light sabers!" she says, and starts swinging her invisible wand-slash-light-saber around, producing accompanying sound effects with her mouth.

"It's from this series of movies—er, do you guys have movies?" she asks as Willow continues doing her swooshes and zwooooms.

Sadde ponders for a few seconds, then starts explaining. "So, er, muggles can do this thing where we—they record stuff, like your moving pictures, except they have sound as well and they recordings aren't really people, they don't talk to you. They frequently do that to tell stories, sorta like animated books, and those are called movies. And there's this trilogy of movies called 'Star Wars' and people in those movies use these swords made out of hard light—"
Willow makes a zwwwooom! motion and sound between them to illustrate.
"Kinda like that," Sadde says. "Also next year they're gonna release a prequel movie to this trilogy."

"Well, I don't know all the details, I'm not a super fan—"
Willow stops her noises and motions to stare at Sadde. "You what?!"
"Sorry!" she laughs. "Anyway, yeah, they're usually yea long and there's this metal handle and when it's turned off it's just a handle but when it's turned on the blade is made of light or something and it's all shiny and stuff, and it can cut most things but not other light sabers so there are light saber fights."
Willow deems this explanation satisfactory and starts pretending to be duelling someone with her invisible light saber again.

Sadde smiles in a way that might suggest she wasn't that oblivious about Karen's earlier discomfort, and nods. "It's kinda weird, yeah, but kinda fun, too." She watches Willow savage three simultaneous enemies and laughs.

"Movies are pretty neat," Miranda tells Karen. "Maybe sometime if we hang out on a school break you can see one."

And Sadde sits with Willow. They both grab their Charms books, too, but Willow gets a cookie from her bag as well and noms it.
"...didn't you just eat breakfast?"
"Yep! But I left myself a present here! Good on me!" she says, and pats her own head. Sadde snorts.
