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.

Chris couldn't help but laugh, because everything Derian said was true. If a Muggle had a conversation with a wizard, they would most likely leave the conversation thinking that the wizard was an idiot. "You've got a very good point there."

"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, "But, seriously, I think growing up as a pureblood would be interesting at the least. Take, for instance, the fact that you grew up riding brooms while most muggles only dream of such things."

"Umm...thank you?" she said, laughing once again. "I'm sure my mum would like you too. She hates having all that Muggle knowledge and no one to talk about it with. That's why I know so much." Sure, Muggle knowledge was worth next to nothing, but it was interesting if you really got into it. Muggles had better books and music too. "Growing up with magic is great, yeah, but I think most people take it for granted. The easy way for some Muggles to do things is like a punishment for wizards. We see everything that Muggles find amazing and wonderful as ordinary. Normal. I think growing up without magic helps you appreciate it more." One thing Chris loved about talking with Derian was that it was intelligent conversation. She could give insights and know that he would understand, and find new views from his insights.

Chris jumped at the Ravenclaw's voice, letting out an embarassing squeal. She smiled at him as she recovered but said nothing, as he seemed to be addressing Derian.
