Reina groaned. This Ryan had to either be in hufflepuff for pure loyatly or gryffindor. Either way it lacked sense.
"For Merlin's sake are you not a wizard. It's not a muggle mat. It's a wizard's hat bewitched of course. and... Why am I explaining this. You won't get it."
Reina rolled her eyes again which seemed was going to be a habit if she continued talking to Ryan. Reina stopped scrunched her face as she thought about something else Ryan had asked.
"Cabins? My, no. Are you serious? Have you ever been somewhere with a bunch of people who sleep over. Like a boarding school?"
Which was exaclty what Hogwarts was.

Ryan glanced down at the ground when she blurted out that he wouldn’t get it. He couldn’t help that he just heard about Hogwarts a couple of weeks ago and that he had no prior knowledge of the wizarding world. He didn’t think that coming from a muggle, although he used the word normal considering he had no clue what a muggle was, background would be such a big deal. He thought that he could just get the hang of things easily and wouldn’t have to be embarrassed by the fact that both of his parents weren’t wizards. He wasn’t embarrassed that they were muggles, he was just embarrassed by his lack of knowledge of the wizarding world, and the fact that Reina had just yelled out that he was basically a waste of time to talk made him even more embarrassed.
Horrified that she was speaking to him again, he continued to look at his shoes. He had never really been to a boarding school either. However, this cleared it up a bit considering he had at least heard a little about them. But then why did she relate it to a summer camp and cabins if there were none? Did she just want to make him feel stupid in front of the other two boys. Well if that was her intent she was doing a rather fine job of it. Mumbling a little he said, “I get it.” He said it more so to get her to stop focusing on him then anything. He figured that he would just ask someone else who would be a little more sympathetic to his background.

Braxton didn’t know why Reina hadn’t figured out that Ryan was muggleborn. It was so obvious from the first time he started talking. Did she really need to make him feel bad just because he didn’t know the basic things that went on at Hogwarts? I mean how would he have known if he didn’t grow up around other wizards that had been students at the school? And just because talking hats didn’t seem to farfetched for the wizarding community didn’t mean that they were comprehend able in the muggle community.
“Muggles are non-wizarding people” he added, considering she had ignored that little detail and it might be useful for Ryan to know what it meant. This way maybe it would be more clear. Then taking his eyes away from Reina he couldn’t help but notice that Ryan was looking a little embarrassed. Feeling slightly bad for the kid he didn’t know what to say to make the situation better. Then decided just to add trying to make Ryan feel batter, even though it wouldn’t help Ryan understand, “Don’t worry about it. No one expects you to know all of those things, unless you grew up in the wizarding world.” Had he grown up in the wizarding world it would have been a completely different story, but it was pretty apparent that he hadn’t. One look at how he and his dad were dressed told anyone with a bit of commonsense that he was from the muggle world.

Reina rolled her eyes at Braxton.
"Really? Muggles are non - wizarding people. I didn't know that. Hey, it's not like I wasn't raised in a muggle home."
Reina was being sarcastic. Her childhood could be compared to Ryan's except on a more elaborate scale.
"You can still get it if you were smart and had an imagination. Think about it. You can do it. See he said he got it. He just needed to think instead of asking so many questions."

"Um....I just said that for Ryan's benefit," Braxton said looking up in her direction with a neutral expression on his face. He knew that she was being sarcastic but still he addressed it to Ryan. He was just being nice, why did she have to be so mean? "I already assumed that you knew what it was considering you were the one using the word after all." he added still with a neutral expression, but with a slight bite in his voice. He didn't like people who were mean to those around him and this instance wasn't any different.

Ryan didn’t know quite how to take Reina’s last statement. Was that her being nice? Or was that her being condescending? Who really knew but her, but he would give her the benefit of the doubt and go with she was being nice. Smiling slightly he said, “Ya I think I got it now.” He still had questions but those would just have to wait for another time and another person.
As he said this his dad came walking over to where they were wondering if Ryan had found anything that interested him. Ryan had a suspicion that he just wanted to leave the store, well that or he was uncomfortable wandering around the shop alone. As Ryan’s dad approached he smiled and said hi to everyone as he put his hands on the top of Ryan’s shoulders. “So Ry, did you find anything interesting?” There were plenty of interesting, borderline disgusting and disturbing things in the store, or so his dad thought.
“Haven’t had a chance to look yet,” Ryan said with a smile looking up at his dad. “I was just talking to these guys for a minute. They were telling me about Hogwarts.”

Curtis, of course, already knew all of this information for he was the child of one of the purest Wizarding families, and his parents wouldn’t back down on the chance to teach him everything he needed to know. Therefore the boy was getting fidgety with the conversation between the girl and his fellow classmates, half paying attention. In fact, the incoming firstie was looking in the complete opposite direction, pulsing back and fro on his heels. Curtis cringed slightly when the prefect began talking rather forcefully, shoving knowledge down their throats. He hated that; when others pick on those too weak to do anything about it. He hated it more when he couldn’t step in and help. Perhaps the reason he disliked his younger siblings so much. As Ryan’s father stepped back into the scene, Curtis just looked up at him, his right eye narrowing with the bright fluorescent lights. That’s when the door open, and an extreme giant of a man walked into the store followed by two fighting toddlers. Curtis’s already large eyes widened giving him the appearance of a raccoon before he scooted a foot over in order to not see the door before looking back up at the prefect. Curtis’s dad (if you haven’t figured that one out by now >_<) began stalking down the aisle the group were in, and the poor firstie just felt like melting in humiliation. He had to have the most embarrassing father in the entire wizarding world, and today was no exception. Ian approached the group followed with two of his red-headed children before saying with a voice almost too deep, “You ok there chap?” He looked down at the candy his son was carrying and gave him ‘the look’ saying it was way too much. His blue eyes fell on top of the teenage girl, and he instantly felt the need to drag his son away. Less than five minutes, and he had already managed to befriend a person at least seven years older than himself; typical. Donovan rushed away from his crying sister before pulling at his older brother’s sleeve, “Cuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttissss. Cailin’s bugggggggging meeeeee” And all Curtis could do was stand there. ((ooc; wow late reply >_<. Hrmm… When I say giant of a man, I mean giant. The guy is 6’6” ))

Ryan looked up as another man appeared in the aisle. It was obvious that is was Curtis's dad, especially when one of the kids with the man dislodged theirselves from the group and came rushing towards Curtis complaining about something. Glancing up at Curtis's dad Ryan gave a smile before quickly turning his attention back to the others.
"Hogwarts, huh?." Jason said looking down and smiling at the kids, "That's cool." As Ryan's attention was momentarily drawn to someone else walking down the aisle, Jason too looked up and smiled. So there was other parents that had felt the need to come with their kids to the alley. "Hi, I'm Jason. Ryan's dad." he said, extending his hand, as the man approached them and inquired of his son.
