It would interesting to hear about stuff from a wizards point of view, too. "That makes sense. Can I ask another question?" Katie asked politely, a hint of shyness mixed in there. Was she asking too many questions? The eleven year old could never tell. Her mummy and daddy and siblings did call her a little chatterbox every now and then though. Mostily when she was excited or scared, the rambling would begin and therefore she became little chatterbox. Instead of saying anything else, she stared up at Professor Dumont again, waiting patiently for his answer.
"I do, oh hey! Is that something we might learn about, too?" Katie asked as the thought came to her, momentarily forgetting she had just asked if she could ask another question and already she was going on. Poor, poor Professor. Her tanned cheeks turned a faint pink, hardly noticeable at all, she went quiet, focusing on thinking about family heritage.
"You know, Katie, I think that might make a very interesting Muggle Studies lesson. Our heritages are all different, you won't find many people who have the exact same background as you which is what helps make us all unique individuals. I believe that might make an excellent lesson, and perhaps we could learn some of the customs and traditions of different countries while we're at it." Antonio was actually thinking about lessons which focused on different things such as food, fashion, music and other traditions from various countries, and Katie had just inspired him. "What do you think of that idea?", he asked.

She started to play with her hair. "Yeah they died in a fire at our home, we were at school at the time." She said sadly as she thought about it with tears in her eyes. "Apparently they never stood a chance." She looked at the Professor and realised he had told her his pain. "How do you deal with it Professor?" She asked him hoping he would be able to help her.
"You daughter is buetiful." She said after awhile. "I would love to meet her one day." She said as she looked at the Professor and asked him a question. "Why do Muggles use code names for missions, like there was Opperation Sea-line and there are a few others I could give you, but we could be here all day if I said them all." She giggled.
"Oh no, I certainly don't believe that you would ever do a thing like that," Antonio said honestly. "I'm really sorry to hear that, that is so tragic." His eyes expressed the pain he was feeling for Sarah. "And as far as dealing with the pain, that's a very difficult thing." He looked over towards Ruby as he said this. "Not only myself but some students here at Hogwarts were involved with the two boys who passed away. Once you grow close to someone and care about them, it's terribly painful to lose that person. Sometimes it feels like you can't go on, especially in the beginning. And you never will get over that person completely, but you will be able to go on. The pain gets less over time and if you're lucky, you will have fond memories for that person for the rest of your life and be glad you knew them. Does that make sense?"

"Sure," Antonio said. "The book is called
Comporting Yourself for the World to See by Hezebah Sizemore, and I believe you should be able to find it in the non-fiction section. It has a lot of good tips on how to conduct yourself in public at diferent social events, particularly if you are a person of prominence. As you yourself are," he added. "So I believe you will find it quite helpful."
