Back to muggles. But at least he had done the little he could to make sure all the muggle-centered lessons didn't have to be that repetitive. He removed the marshmallow from the fire, as the sky darkened and night fell.
Eirian bit her lip as she thought, pushing her thick-rimmed glasses up in hope that the non-prescription lenses would reflect the minimal light enough to hide her puffy, swollen eyes. The transformation from rebellious Brasileira to quiet, studious Hogwartian had been instantaneous after she broke up with Thiago. Maybe paying attention to her studies would make her a better person? And that was why she broke it off... Because he deserved someone better than her.
For the first time in her life, Eiri then rose her hand and offered her best thoughts. "Different cultures have different beliefs," she said, voice small and warped by her thick accent, "which reflect their beliefs and values. Because muggles do not know ghosts really exist or what they are like, they depend on old myths to tell them what they are like. In Brazil, people believe less in ghosts and more in demons... and some ghosts are said to protect the forests, because the country is does not have such a history of being industrial like England or America and they still have a severe attachment to nature."
This was the first time Eirian had ever referred to the Brazilian people as "they" instead of "we," also. So many changes... Something inside of her wondered if, when Jayce came back, whether he'd still know her.
