Bella has been living in the dorms for two days when the term properly starts. The buses begin arriving and discharging the students who didn't need to arrive early just in time for them to join the early attendees for lunch. Bella is sitting at a half-full table, reading her Charms textbook and prodding at one of her notebooks with the hazel wand. The vine one is still in her hair; she uses it for most things (to the extent that there is a 'most things', but she's getting a jump on her assignments) but she's giving the hazel a try for this particular charm. It's supposed to make the notebook refuse to open for anyone but her. Poke. Poke. "Claudo!"

Her notebook snaps itself shut abruptly. She opens the cover, closes it, passes it to the girl on her right and gets her to try, observes that it does not open. She puts the hazel wand back in her sleeve.

"...Nothing," she sighs. "I don't know."
sparksflying: (⑪ won't win any prize)

"That's the weird thing," says Tony, "you were raised by Muggles but you're talking like a clueless pureblood. I shouldn't have to tell you that Muggles are capable of inventing some cool stuff that magic can't handle as well, that should be something you already know. You've seen a computer before, right?"
sparksflying: (⑦ don't touch)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure," says Tony. "To you. To me they're both ordinary levels of cool."
sparksflying: (⑥ one look could kill)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
"In no way would that be sad," Tony says definitively. "You just think that because you don't appreciate how cool computers are."
sparksflying: (② I'm twice as smart and)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm amazed about both of them!" says Tony. "But only a little, 'cause I'm used to them both."
sparksflying: (⑨ but it's strictly SRO)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"The trick is, it takes cooler and cooler things to get the feeling, but all you have to do is keep learning how to do cooler stuff all the time."
sparksflying: (③ certainly twice as sick)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," she says, nodding, "I get what you mean."
sparksflying: (① blow me a kiss)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Tony giggles. "You're really cute!"
sparksflying: (⑨ but it's strictly SRO)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
"...Because that would be hilariously impractical?" she suggests.
sparksflying: (⑧ see right through you)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
"The latest in flying mass transit is still Thestral-drawn carriages," says Tony. "Those're flying winged horses you can only see if you've seen somebody die."
sparksflying: (⑩ sight of solid ground)

[personal profile] sparksflying 2013-04-01 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
"I dunno," she says, "because they're magic and that's how they work?"
sparksflying: (⑧ see right through you)

"Sure," says Tony, "but I am not that person."
