He felt like he was in a dream and was waiting for someone to pinch him or something to wake him up. He hadn't even cast a spell yet. The only homework he did was things that he wrote. And the only magical activity he partook in was the skating rink, but that was only because skating was something that came very natural to him.

Planes, finally a word that Altair recognized. This immediately caught his attention. At first her lack of confidence he took as being a first year like him, but then when she spoke of her way of travel, Altair realized she was like him. "How do you even know all this?" he asked. She seemed so comfortable on a broom despite he fall. Didn't she know how dangerous they could be too. It was just a weird adjustment to live an entire life without magic and then to be thrown into this world that could be both good and evil. But, he was mostly struggling with: If he never used magic than he would never have to choose.
"Yeah tell me about it, one day I'm learning what a noun is and the next I'm asked to read Latin." Not to mention she still couldn't turn a vine into a rope and the only class she was any good at was Herbology she wasn't even 'good' at it- she just knew how to grow plants, it seemed the thing most in common with the non magic world- plants were plants and needed proper care. Sure, magic plants were way different- but the principal was still there.
"But me not knowing anything- I guess it makes me want to work harder to catch up- that's probably why I'm not so scared of flying on a broom, well I am, I'm just have a bigger ego" she wasn't about to slack and be considered clueless. Nope not for her.
"How do I know about what? Planes?" She tilted her head, was he into planes- that was cool! "Well I spend a lot of time on them visiting my grandparents, I needed something to do on the, what 14 hour flights? So I started learning about planes" she smiled, maybe they had something in common? Planes weren't an interest of hers but when you spent so many hours on then you had to learn something.
Just then the coach whistled class dismissed and robins head whipped around
"Oh hey want to walk back and put our brooms away? What house are you in anyway?"
