"Yeah... sometimes it takes kids time... It may be intuitive for people like you and me - we just get that stuff either through our parents or our experience... but hopefully he learns it quickly so no one's too harsh with him over it." Or not. Then again, the boy may never learn. Who knew? 340 Galleons...? Umm.. Noah didn't know. He was still trying to wrap his head around Wizarding currency. "How much is that in dollars?" he asked before bursting into laughter. "I'm sorry.. Conversions are haaard." Sure he was good at Arthimancy and all but Galleons to dollars - he had no clue!

"I am the oldest. Experimental child and all y'know!" he chuckled. That's what his parents called him - they said one day that he would understand all the pressures of raising a kid. Noah survived. He'd been dropped on the head as a baby just twice.... No big deal.

Minjae was a small? "Not to worry - I'm a medium but we could probably make some magical modifications to one of the outfits or I could bribe a younger year so that we could borrow their uniform?" Potential idea there... Or Minjae could just wear one of his outfits and it be a little big on him. "Or you could wear mine and just say you were growing into it? From an older brother or something?" He paused at Minjae's question about having secretive common rooms. It was a little weird. "I think so.... I think its an attempt to make us feel all a little homey but to be honest- majority of my friends are not in my house." He had Minjae and Kimmy in Hufflepuff, Islay in Gryffindor, Chloe in Ravenclaw, and Harley and Aboli in Slytherin. Actually his friends were pretty spread out. Then he had his roomies which he liked but hadn't spend much time with yet. He ought to fix that.. "But that being said.. We could always see if we could do a cross-functional house event that would require us to visit other people's common rooms?" Maybe the two of them could sweet talk the Head Girl into helping them out?

Oof. That didn't sound good. "That's rough buddy," commented Noah, gently patting his mate on the back. "What games do you play?" He was surprised that his Dad would be so quick to punish him. His parents... He wouldn't tell his parents. The less they knew about school meant the less lies they had to tell about him and his schooling. Yay the joys of being muggleborn and hiding it from the rest of the world.

And Noah paused, frowning, when Minjae that the only love in his life was gaming. Ah... "Kind of... It's a little complicated. She's a Hufflepuff like you. Really sweet," he admitted, a blush on his cheeks. "Ahem.. but if you wanted to meet someone... I could be your wingman?"

For Minjae, it wasn't exactly intuitive to be nice. From a early age, the boy had had etiquette lessons because it was tradition in his family. And teaching them young would mean they would continue to use it when in adulthood and although he knew how to properly speak, use body language and how to use table manners , he simply....did not want to at school. For one, it was school and he didn't want to stand out or get bullied for it. And two, it was boring. But being blatantly rude like his little brother was? No, he could not do that. Even when he was making rules, he made sure to apologize afterwards. Even when it wasn't even his fault entirely. Like with the jukebox last year. He had not set that thing on fire on purpose and but lost ten point and still apologised...begrudgingly.

"I hope you're right. I think he's acting this way because he's jealous of my magical abilities" he said. "I'm muggleborn you see and so far, Daniel" which was his brother's name "Isn't showing any sign that he has magic in him and i think it frustrates him because he wants to be a wizard as well" But he was only eight. Minjae hadn't showed signs until he was nine.

Eeeeeh..... Minjae frowned deeply which usually was a sign that he was thinking very hard. How much was 340 Galleons in Dollars? He had no idea but he did have an estimated amount. "About 1600 Dollars?" more? less? he wasn't sure but he knew that it wasn't a lot for him but he could guess that it would be for others. Money was confusing.

The Hufflepuff looked irritably at Noah when he mentioned that he could always say he was growing in the robes. He didn't want to look annoyed but it was a natural reactions whenever it came to his height. At 5.5 he wasn't exactly the tallest at Hogwarts and he hadn't grown in a long while so he was afraid he was stuck in this small body forever. He just wanted to be tall and handsome later in life! T__T "Or we can borrow one of the robes from the laundry room?" he suggested. "As long as we look if there isn't a name written on the inside. It isn't stealing if we intend to give it back right?"

The idea of a cross functional house event was a good one and Minjae nodded his head in agreement. "Maybe a two day House roulette in which every House spends time in another common room!" and he would totally charm the roulette so that Hufflepuff landed on Gryffindor. ....was there a charm for that purpose? Knowing Hogwarts there probably was.

"Thanks..." he said as Noah patted him on the back. He would have been in trouble for losing points last year ...again... but somehow he managed to become the top point earner in his House which to his family had been reason to celebrate and he had been given the newest version of a VR system. "Oh man, all sorts!" he said excitedly. "RPG's. MMORPG's. racing games. But my favorite is VR! especially horror VR!" he wanted to get scared "I have three wide range monitors hooked up in my game room wall. Two above and one below. Its the BEST set up! you should come over some time during the summer so we can play" Or simply stroll around the manor or go swimming in one of the pools if gaming wasn't his thing. Maybe he should invite more people?

But when Noah mentioned that he liked a girl, all his excitement about gaming immediately turned towards this piece of information and he looked curiously at him. "Oh come on! You can't just say she's from Hufflepuff and leave it at that!" that was mean! "Is it Carys?" he asked. "Or ...that Ilvermorny transfer. What was her name again?" he thought before he got it. "Kimberly?" WELL?! And he was blushing! Minjae grinned. "Why is it complicated though? Just go up to her and say "Hey i like you, want to go out with me?" and that was it.

Wingman? The Hufflepuff shook his head. "One day, not now" Not now that Noah confessed he liked a girl! He needed HIS help and not the other way around.
