For one, it was school and he didn't want to stand out or get bullied for it. And two, it was boring. But being blatantly rude like his little brother was? No, he could not do that. Even when he was making rules, he made sure to apologize afterwards. Even when it wasn't even his fault entirely. Like with the jukebox last year. He had not set that thing on fire on purpose and but lost ten point and still apologised...begrudgingly.

"I hope you're right. I think he's acting this way because he's jealous of my magical abilities" he said. "I'm muggleborn you see and so far, Daniel" which was his brother's name "Isn't showing any sign that he has magic in him and i think it frustrates him because he wants to be a wizard as well" But he was only eight. Minjae hadn't showed signs until he was nine.

Eeeeeh..... Minjae frowned deeply which usually was a sign that he was thinking very hard. How much was 340 Galleons in Dollars? He had no idea but he did have an estimated amount. "About 1600 Dollars?" more? less? he wasn't sure but he knew that it wasn't a lot for him but he could guess that it would be for others. Money was confusing.

The Hufflepuff looked irritably at Noah when he mentioned that he could always say he was growing in the robes. He didn't want to look annoyed but it was a natural reactions whenever it came to his height. At 5.5 he wasn't exactly the tallest at Hogwarts and he hadn't grown in a long while so he was afraid he was stuck in this small body forever. He just wanted to be tall and handsome later in life! T__T "Or we can borrow one of the robes from the laundry room?" he suggested. "As long as we look if there isn't a name written on the inside. It isn't stealing if we intend to give it back right?"

The idea of a cross functional house event was a good one and Minjae nodded his head in agreement. "Maybe a two day House roulette in which every House spends time in another common room!" and he would totally charm the roulette so that Hufflepuff landed on Gryffindor. ....was there a charm for that purpose? Knowing Hogwarts there probably was.

"Thanks..." he said as Noah patted him on the back. He would have been in trouble for losing points last year ...again... but somehow he managed to become the top point earner in his House which to his family had been reason to celebrate and he had been given the newest version of a VR system. "Oh man, all sorts!" he said excitedly. "RPG's. MMORPG's. racing games. But my favorite is VR! especially horror VR!" he wanted to get scared "I have three wide range monitors hooked up in my game room wall. Two above and one below. Its the BEST set up! you should come over some time during the summer so we can play" Or simply stroll around the manor or go swimming in one of the pools if gaming wasn't his thing. Maybe he should invite more people?

But when Noah mentioned that he liked a girl, all his excitement about gaming immediately turned towards this piece of information and he looked curiously at him. "Oh come on! You can't just say she's from Hufflepuff and leave it at that!" that was mean! "Is it Carys?" he asked. "Or ...that Ilvermorny transfer. What was her name again?" he thought before he got it. "Kimberly?" WELL?! And he was blushing! Minjae grinned. "Why is it complicated though? Just go up to her and say "Hey i like you, want to go out with me?" and that was it.

Wingman? The Hufflepuff shook his head. "One day, not now" Not now that Noah confessed he liked a girl! He needed HIS help and not the other way around.

Noah hoped he was right too. He held his breath when Minjae confessed something that Noah understood all too well. He, too, was muggleborn but he supposed his parents elaborate lies about him being in an elusive boarding school full scholarship and all was a kindness to his younger siblings. "I completely understand what you mean... I'm also muggleborn and I don't know if my siblings will show magical skills." He paused, feeling more comfortable with Minjae because they shared some common things in life. "I.. My parents orchestrated a whole backstory to cover up my magical abilities. So they tell everyone that I've just got a super amazing scholarship to the best school in the whole of Europe and when I come home I can't tell anyone anything..." They did it to be kind to his younger siblings.

1600 Dollars? For SHEETS? "I couldn't afford those. I only have $556 from my summer job. Maybe my parents could afford them though?" he explained. "Wow.. I have like 500 from the summer jobs I was doing."

Noah noted the facial expression that Minjae wore and he froze. Oof. Touchy subject size and height apparently.... Noah was only 5'8- not the tallest and not the shortest. "That's a MUCH better idea," he said, offering a grin. Was it technically stealing a robe? Perhaps. But it was for a greater purpose, of course. "Exactly.. not stealing if we return it."

Nodding very eagerly, Noah was very excited by this idea of a cross functional event. He grew even more excited when Minjae mentioned that they could play a two day House Roulette. "I think that's great!"

Noah smiled as he watched and listened to how enthusiastic Minjae grew over the subject of videogaming. It was pretty awesome seeing how excitable he was getting over the games. Noah had played a few games in his time but mostly stuck to RPGs. He liked the ones that where the game would change based on the choices or decisions your character made. His eyes widened, listening to the awesome set up that Minjae had. Multiple screens to see everything. It definitely beat his set up. They just had a TV and a playstation. "Maybe we should play together sometime?" Noah didn't promise he'd be good though.

At the mention of Kimmie, Noah couldn't help but show a slight blush on his cheeks. How did he know so quickly? "Yes, it's Kimmie but you don't tell anyone..." he whispered and then blanched when Minjae just casually said go up and ask her out. He sighed, running his hand through his hair. "I mean.. It's complicated because her friend also liked me and I don't want to rush things, y'know?"

He'd ask for his help one day in future. "Excellent, I'll hold you too it."
