I'm not really looking forward to them..."
Her eyes lit up when Aurora said she knew about Superman, her opinion of the red haired girl raising a little. "You do?!" She nodded enthusiastically, "Kryptonite, that's right! Deadly stuff. Well, I think. I don't understand the whole story yet, I'm still trying to learn it all." She'd promised herself that she wasn't going to tell anyone that, but she decided that Aurora could probably be trusted with such information. Mostly seeing as though Delilah herself only knew a little bit more than Aurora did.
...
Money?
Delilah shook her head, and took the note out of her pocket. £20. She didn't even know what the '£' symbol was for. "I haven't got a clue. I just hope I've got enough." Considering she had a Muggleborn dad - who GREW UP around Muggles and with all their silly conventions, you'd think he'd have passed on some of the information. But no. He didn't think she'd ever need to know about these things. Pfft.
"You'd think they'd bother to teach us these kinds of things in school, wouldn't you?" She added, quietly.
Aurora shrugged,
"To be honest, even I don't know what's going on right now." she said, then left it at that.
"Can't really explain it... Especially not right now. I am so hungry..." STARVING FIFTEEN YEAR OLD HERE! SOMEBODY HURRY THE QUEUE UP!
"Yeah, my boyfriend likes superheroes and stuff so I kinda make an effort..." Though she didn't do it for him.
"and I think they're really cool too." she admitted with a grin.
"Me too," she said.
"And Batman..." Because those two were her favourite. For some reason.
Aurora glanced at the note in Delilah's hand. She hadn't seen anyone else carry them.
"If that squiggly sign is like Galleons then it should be enough...
I think." she shrugged.
"I like these ones..." She held up a fifty pence.
"I like the shape." Because 50ps were all angle-y and cool. And they were bigger than the 20p ones.
"Yeah. They should teach it in muggle studies or something..." She thought back to the lessons they'd had. What about that etiquette one? Wizarding etiquette was almost the same... A money lesson would've been far more useful...
