Grabbing for yet another cupcake, Sylvie moved back around to her cushion and sat atop it again.

"Now, let's talk about all those myths, superstitions, legends and events that could very well be magic. Growing up, most of us learned of Avalon and Camelot as places where magic happened, but what about tales of other places?"

Alice nodded. She didn't want to shorthand muggles for their accomplishments, but there were definitely some instances that would seem like there was some kind of magical intervention from the wizarding world.

"Well, couldn't some of the muggle children tales be based off of magical events? For example Jack and the Giant Bean Stalk? We have giants in the wizarding world and I am sure there is some form of potion or charm that could enlarge a bean stalk. Also the muggle story of Alice in Wonderland could have some magical components to it. For example the shrinking drink she takes to make herself smaller could be reference to a potion, and some of the things she encounters could be bewitched and such."
