"And of course, I would LOVE that." Cora was happy that Eliza was thinking long-term about their friendship (if that made sense?) because even with their age difference Eliza was still one of the nicest ones she's met so far. That could change, though, if she met the right people. But Cora was sure that they would stay friends. "You'll have to tell me how that works, though. We don't really communicate with the muggles in our area." Not that Cora was opposed to it or anything, but her family kept to themselves.

Kneazles: Cora knew a bit about them. "I actually do know about Kneazles. I read about them, and my aunt has one, although we don't see her often. Kneazles can actually be very aggressive, but they are good judges of character, so someone like you would be fine. A kneazle would be very loyal to someone kind like you. And yes, I guess they are a bit different than a normal pet, since they are definitely smarter."

Quidditch: Cora chuckled. "Oh, no. Not me, I could never play quidditch. Well, I've always wanted to, but it's too brutal. It's not for me since I'm not aggressive or competitive enough. I actually am pretty great on a broom. I learned early," Cora explained with a smile. "I do like watching though. Even though I may cover my eyes at some points. How about you? Have you started flying lessons yet?" Cora asked curiously.

Eliza was glad that Cora didn’t already know much about Muggle post. It gave her something to talk about. Something that seemed to make Cora happy! “Oh yes! They have one!” she bubbled over, eager to tell Cora more. “It’s really a lot like ours, except instead of owls they have other Muggles deliver it.” She thought she should clarify, “Well, not just any old Muggle. They have to work at the Post Office….er…like the Communication branch at the Ministry,” she explained. “Anyway so they write the addresses of where they want it to go, and the Muggle called the Post Man, or Woman, knows how to get there and they put it in a little metal box at the Muggle’s home!” She hoped how she explained it had made sense. “And of course there are telephones too, but not many magical families have those either.” She hoped that knowing all of this Muggle technology wouldn’t make her seem like an inferior witch. She’d just grown up with is was all.

“Oh gosh, I didn’t realize that Kneazles could be aggressive.” She worried that maybe she shouldn’t get one until Cora said she thought a Kneazle would like her personally. “Someone like me? Do Kneazles like little bookworms?” she joked. “I guess I would have to teach it to be nice to everyone first thing. I wouldn’t want it to hurt anyone.” She took her sketchpad out and wrote down the tips that Cora had mentioned.

She put her sketchpad away and listened to Cora talk about Quidditch. “Ah I see. I don’t think I’d be aggressive enough either. But I don’t know, maybe if I get a little better at flying I could try. It’d be really scary though…” she said. “That’s cool that you learned early. My parents wanted me to but I kept running into things,” she laughed. “I did just go to my first flying lesson and I really enjoyed it!” Eliza’s face lit up as she recalled the experience to Cora. “At first I was afraid, but then…oh wow, then I was really flying! The breeze was so nice and the way my robes whipped in the wind the faster I went…” she gestured with her hand in the air, mimicking her turning and winding around on the broom. “I loved it!” Settling herself back down she thought to ask, “Do you have a favorite professional Quidditch team? I don’t really know much about them, but I sort of tune in when my dad watches the games. Is our house team any good?”
