"You really need to start attending some Muggle Studies lessons or something," she teased. "You won't understand half the things I say otherwise." As for the quote. "I like it too." Obviously. Hehe.
Mimicking his smirk, she nudged him gently with her elbow and replied, "Sure you can." Not really. Heh. Was she sure there were no stupid questions though? Hmm. "Yeah, I am. Questions aren't stupid unless you try to make them that way." Yep, that pretty much summed it up. But she forgot everything else when he mentioned the pitch. Her eyes widened slightly as she asked in a slightly awed voice, "You have a pitch in your backyard?" Merlin, she wanted his backyard! She was going to steal it as soon as she found out where he lived. Hehe.
Snort. He could tell by facial expressions she was teasing him, but Anakin wondered if there wasn't some truth to what she said. He really knew nothing about muggle things, and he'd been pretty lax with attending his classes so far this year. Heh. That was probably pretty unacceptable, and his Da would kill him if he knew...
"Do they teach about this Dr. Seuss and...Dark Mador?" He believed that was what she had referred to him that first time when they met. Seemed a silly name to him.
Heh.
"Not if I'd like to keep my face pretty." Of course, he was joking about the 'pretty' part. But he couldn't help but think there might be SOME truth to maybe getting beat up...Hufflepuffs were cool, but some seemed rather eccentric in their house pride. Maybe that was true of every house though? Or maybe it was the loyalness coming out? He really had no idea. Unless you tried to make them that way?
"So I suppose my trying to come up with a stupid question to prove you wrong wouldn't work...because it'd be seen as trying to make it stupid?" Bummer. It might have been fun.
Why did she seem so surprised? Tilting his head slightly, he gave a small nod. "Yeah, we live in the country." In Ireland. And the were basically surrounded by fields, and no one was around there property. Just the way his Da liked it.
