"Not that there's anything wrong with that! But you know our house history - pureblood mania and all that," he said, waving his hand nonchalantly. He hoped Simon didn't take it the wrong way. It was kind of cool, actually! Caleb had a few muggle things at his house, since their Great Uncle Ben insisted on immersing them in muggle culture sometimes. And by that - he meant they had a TV. A BIG one. Until it broke when he was about eight or so.
"Yeah, I'm more of the fighting type, though. I wanna be an Auror," he said with a grin. "What about you? Any idea what you want to go into?" he asked, although if he didn't know, he wouldn't be surprised. Most kids their age had no idea what to do with their lives. Caleb was just really...driven. Yeah.
Simon may have set a record? A look of confusion flickered on the boy’s face. First mugleborn in Slytherin? Well you know, Simon hadn’t really thought about that fact before until Caleb brought it up. He had kind of assumed that there had been more muggleborns secretly in the house. “
Really? Uh… That’s really neat,” he said and grinned. PEOPLE WOULD REMEMBER HIM! He felt gleeful. For he could have cared, he could have done a jig right there but Caleb was there and he thought Caleb was pretty cool so he’d save the dancing for another time. “
Yeah, yeah, it is sort of surprising after Slytherin’s past.” He was glad to be in Slytherin. It was the right fit for him.
“
An Auror? he repeated with wide eyes. That would be amazing. “
Awesome! It’d be brilliant to be that. That’s like being a detective, right?” Then Caleb asked him what he wanted to be. Oh, right. Well honestly, Simon could see himself in many fields. He had been told that he’d make a good Professor, a good Healer, and an awesome Detective. “
I don’t know. I either want to be an Auror or a Professor. But I’d have to learn more about being an Auror. I love investigating things.”
