Everyone said Hogwarts felt like home. Carlton hadn't agreed until he'd found this room where technology actually worked. He took little notice to the other students in the room and marched straight up to one of the free arcade games. He dropped his bag on the floor next to it and pressed a button for the screen to light up. He grinned, wondering briefly if he could beat his high score from the day before. Only... His eyes widened. At the top of the high score table was another name above his.
He was... He was number two?!
"That isn't fair!" He exclaimed, jabbing repeatedly with his finger against the screen. "I worked for hours to get number one." Someone else had probably worked just as hard but that was besides the point.
He repositioned himself and pressed 'start'. He knew what he'd be doing for the rest of the afternoon.
The fun room had been another place in the castle that Mason had showed no interest in before Hadley had made him curious about muggle things. In fact, he hadn't stepped a foot inside of this room in his nearly 2 years of being here.
But now he was curious what kind of games muggles liked to play so he entered the room while looking around curiously. The loud sounds, the clicks and beeps everywhere made hkm realise how much he appreciated silence and he was about to turn back around and leave when he heard someone complaining.
He didn't know why, but the Ravenclaw walked over to the young kid playing some kind of game and he watched. Just watched. Not saying a word as the kid tried to get the highscore.
The whole button smashing thing looked ridiculous to him and the kid seemed to get annoyed with it even. Was this how these gamed were played? Angrily smashing buttons?
Strange yet fascinating things these machines were.
