It's like wizards think that just because we don't need Muggle science, there's no point in knowing it."
Derian nodded, just as bewildered as she was by the wizarding world's lack of fundamental muggle knowledge, "
Exactly! As a lover of muggle science and the like, it's like coming to a new place that everyone says is amazing and cool, and then realizing everyone there is illiterate." But he had to chuckle too, "
And it's hilarious." He was remembering Rafe's "eyenstine" comment earlier and how he thought there were muggles trying to "relate to gravel." It also amused him that he, as a first year, already had an advantage over his brother, a fifth year.
"
And, for the record, I think I would like your mum... and maybe give her a few career-oriented insights while I'm at it." He smirked, "
