"I've been trying to tell him that that is no way to treat someone but he just won't listen" he sighed. It was as if his brother thought he was entitled because they were from a wealthy family. Perhaps this was the reason why he was placed in Hufflepuff? Because he never saw someone lower than him. To him, everyone was equal and being rich did not necessarily mean having a lot of money. Someone could be rich with family or love or a hobby as well! "Expensive...i guess it is. I'm not sure. Is 340 Galleons expensive for bedsheets?"

So Noah had three other siblings. "And you're the oldest or?" he asked as he began to shift his body so that he was seated on his knees and then he laughed. "Yeah, that is totally only a slight hiccup that your Head of House is the Headmaster" The man was going to be the biggest obstacle if he were to try and sneak in. "I'm a size S" he said. He was liking where Noah's mind was going. "Don't you think its weird that we all have to be so secretive about our Common Rooms? I mean, why can't we see each others common rooms the whole seven years we're in this castle?" He just wanted to know what the other common rooms looked like, was that a crime worth a detention?

It probably was...

"But if it doesn't work and we get a detention ...my father said he will lock my gaming room and the indoor pool at home for a whole month" and those were like his places to be at during the vacation!

Did he have a certain someone in his life? Minjae snorted as he looked over at the pond. "The only love in my life is gaming " he said proudly before he sighed. "That actually sounds really sad... what about you?"
Ah the Edgy eights? Yes, Noah had heard of those or that's how his Dad had referred to them. The whole family had a FEELING that Lisa was going to go through that stage.. which unfortunately would be next year so they could enjoy some kind of freedom before that event. "Yeah... sometimes it takes kids time... It may be intuitive for people like you and me - we just get that stuff either through our parents or our experience... but hopefully he learns it quickly so no one's too harsh with him over it." Or not. Then again, the boy may never learn. Who knew? 340 Galleons...? Umm.. Noah didn't know. He was still trying to wrap his head around Wizarding currency. "How much is that in dollars?" he asked before bursting into laughter. "I'm sorry.. Conversions are haaard." Sure he was good at Arthimancy and all but Galleons to dollars - he had no clue!

"I am the oldest. Experimental child and all y'know!" he chuckled. That's what his parents called him - they said one day that he would understand all the pressures of raising a kid. Noah survived. He'd been dropped on the head as a baby just twice.... No big deal.

Minjae was a small? "Not to worry - I'm a medium but we could probably make some magical modifications to one of the outfits or I could bribe a younger year so that we could borrow their uniform?" Potential idea there... Or Minjae could just wear one of his outfits and it be a little big on him. "Or you could wear mine and just say you were growing into it? From an older brother or something?" He paused at Minjae's question about having secretive common rooms. It was a little weird. "I think so.... I think its an attempt to make us feel all a little homey but to be honest- majority of my friends are not in my house." He had Minjae and Kimmy in Hufflepuff, Islay in Gryffindor, Chloe in Ravenclaw, and Harley and Aboli in Slytherin. Actually his friends were pretty spread out. Then he had his roomies which he liked but hadn't spend much time with yet. He ought to fix that.. "But that being said.. We could always see if we could do a cross-functional house event that would require us to visit other people's common rooms?" Maybe the two of them could sweet talk the Head Girl into helping them out?

Oof. That didn't sound good. "That's rough buddy," commented Noah, gently patting his mate on the back. "What games do you play?" He was surprised that his Dad would be so quick to punish him. His parents... He wouldn't tell his parents. The less they knew about school meant the less lies they had to tell about him and his schooling. Yay the joys of being muggleborn and hiding it from the rest of the world.

And Noah paused, frowning, when Minjae that the only love in his life was gaming. Ah... "Kind of... It's a little complicated. She's a Hufflepuff like you. Really sweet," he admitted, a blush on his cheeks. "Ahem.. but if you wanted to meet someone... I could be your wingman?"
