One second he was admiring his sketch, the next he was thinking about how cool it would be if he could use magic to make alterations and show it when life was going on! The changing of the seasons, students walking about and playing games....

Then a chocolate frog was on his sketchbook.

He did catch Haddie's comment of disgust in response to the frog. The half-blood grinned, while he grew up in the muggle world, chocolate frogs were something that he became rather familiar with on the train.

"It's just a spell that animates them, they're not actually alive," he said with a shrug, managing to catch the frog and break it in half.

It stopped wriggling as soon as he did that.

Plopping half in his mouth, he offered the other half to Haddie.

Hang on, back up a minute for this not-quite-as-conversational 'Claw. Haddie was from Southern California? "My cousins are from there!" Davie informed her cheerfully. But no, he hadn't really noticed an accent on her, and shook his head to say as much. "Sorry? Maybe you're from a different part than them?" Or maybe he WAS bad at pinpointing accents.

"Creative people are everywhere," Davie commented sagely, "if you're creative enough to know where to look." Plus it had been said by uh, previous Headmasters and Headmistresses that most people didn't fit into one house or another entirely, and that didn't surprise him one bit. He knew how that Hat worked, probably better than anybody here, excluding professors.

David was at first surprised that Haddie hadn't heard the expression about George's ear, but then he remembered she was a Muggleborn (bless her heart) and thus he put on his professor voice. He would HAPPILY over-explain this story, since History of Magic was his easiest subject. "The year was 1997. The month was July. The date was the twenty-somethingth, and all of Harry Potter's best friends from the Order of the Phoenix were on a mission to rescue him from his evil aunt and uncle. George Weasley was part of this mission to extract him before his seventeenth birthday, but en route to their safehouse, George, disguised as Harry, was hit by a poorly aimed Sectumsempra spell, and lost an ear as a result of that dark curse. The modern-day expression 'George's left ear!' is my favorite tribute to this legendary Weasley who was most hole-y after that occasion."

And that explained that. Heheeee! Hopefully Haddie had understood, yes? Surely she'd heard of Harry Potter by now? Hehehe.

Sure, twins were different, he supposed.... David just kind of nodded to that. Being an only child meant that he had no clue what it was like to miss a sibling, nor to miss his twin.... so.... sorry? He also had no clue what a long car ride with a stupid annoying brother was like. Not a clue. "I still say it's a Ravenclaw argument," David insisted. "Logic. You have it." Just accept that you're in the best House, Haddie, it's okay.

The second-year GASPED when this firstie described his chocolate frog as EW. EW??! ExCUSE YOU?! He clucked his tongue in sharp disapproval of her disapproval. "Thank you, Jasper, finally somebody understands." EW. She had just thought his frog was EW. David couldn't take this. He couldn't. He wouldn't! "Will you at least look at the chocolate frog card, and tell me if it's Mopsus or not?" Not his fault if he sounded exasperated, but C'MON. A CHOCOLATE FROG WAS MEANT TO BE AWE-INSPIRING! Her reaction was just plain WRONG.

"California really only has one accent. We'll really, western United States kinda only has one accent. Different slang in parts, but, yeah."

She managed to sit quietly while Davie told her the story about George's left ear. Which was a bit tough, as he acted like she should have heard of these people. She hadn't. And didn't know what the Sectumsempra spell was either. Only that it caused people to lose an ear, apparently. Didn't sound like a type of spell that would appeal to her, so she didn't bother asking about it. She did, however, grin at Davie's pun. It sounded like the sort of joke she'd make.

"Who's H..." But the gasped, shocked expression on Davie's face, which quickly turned to an almost offended look of disapproval. Haddie had no idea what happened until Jasper spoke up.

Oh! That actually made more sense. A red tinge tinted Haddie's cheeks as she took the offered half of the frog and took a bite. The chocolate frog, was chocolate, and nothing else. It was good. And now that she knew it wasn't a real, live frog, the novelty of it was nifty! "Thank you, Jasper, for explaining it to me." She emphasized the last bit both in tone and with a sideways glaring glance at Davie. Chill, Dude. They're frogs. Made out of chocolate. Not a book burning.

And just because he had acted so offended, and made rude little disapproving clicks with this tongue over the fact that Haddie didn't know what a chocolate frog was, she made him wait. Wait until she finished her half of the frog. She made sure to take the most excruciatingly small bites imaginable, and chewed each longer than necessary and was able to stretch it out for at least a minute and a half. She looked down at the box the frog was in.... First, she should probably clean her hands, right? And she took her sweet time with that too. Finally, at a snail's pace, she removed the card and looked at it. "Sorry, Newton Scamander... Want it?" She offered him the card. "So, who's Harry Potter?"
