The more I learned about the world of muggles, it seems the more interested I became in them. I guess basically I just wanted to learn what makes them tick."

"How about you, sir?", Dumont asked. "Divination is a fascinating subject, I grant you, but how did you first get interested in it?" It was a bit suprising to see a male Divinations teacher though it did happen on occasion, Dumont surmised.

"They are very interesting, aren't they? I admit I don't know very much about them, except for their monetary systems. Strange isn't it, how they don't just use galleons like we do, but complicated notes and those little...little...", Kapoor couldn't remember credit cards. "Those little plastic squares."

"I agree. It is very rare for wizard to get involved in Divination, though maybe not as much as you might think. In my 40 years of interest in the subject, I've seen some fairly well-trained diviners that were wizards, and many of whom were better than the witches in their field of study. You might be surprised. I am not as good as my wife, though, I must admit. She is a seer, and could probably teach circles around me." Kapoor was babbling a bit and he caught himself by quickly tapping his lower-lip. "I'm sorry, you asked me how I first became interested in the subject. That all started at Hogwarts with my Divination professor. She had a very grounded and logical approach to it, not this 'Dooms-day Prophet' stuff that sometimes gets taught in the schools."
