I know I would be."
Ellie nodded her head in agreement.
"And what if yer parents didn't know anything!" she breathed, unable to conceive of her parents handling such a shock very well.
"I dunno 'bout you, but I'm happy I knew this all from the beginning. I s'pose learning a few things 'bout muggles for one lesson is better than having to understand a whole new society."
With that, she considered herself very fortunate to have knowledge of wizards, even if it meant she had more difficulty in Muggle Studies.
"Learning muggle things wouldn't hurt, I mean me dad does business with 'em, so it's practical..." she mused, not wanting to delve into her family's somewhat shady business involving the sale of magically enhanced vegetables.
"So, what do your mum and dad do?" Ellie inquired, eager to shift the focus back to the Gryffindor.
