Chapter 106 – Living Amongst Muggles
We have been here for more than a month now. I'd like to think that we got used to living within muggles, and I won't lie; I find many of their inventions and tools really entertaining. Even though they don't have magic, they come up with many pretty magical things. For example, the so-called CD player. Even without enchanting it, you just had to put a round disc with music, somehow already on it, don't ask, into the machine, and voila, there it was. Your own house party. Or just tune it to a specific frequency, as they called it, and you could listen to the news. Hah... I wonder why we don't have something like that? Is it because of our prejudice against muggle inventions?
They are even capable of far more than we give credit to. For example, there is the television. Or TV for short. We could watch muggles talk about events happening in any part of the world, be it shown on the TV, and transfer news faster than we can. I even heard of the thing called the internet, where muggles can send letters from one point of the world to another. No matter the distance. And it is instantaneous. Which owl can do that? None that I know about.
"Did Squeaky come back yet?" Quincy asked, coming out from the bathroom, wearing only her bathrobe, her hair still wet, sticking to her neck, stretching and moaning after refreshing herself.
"Not yet. She did say it will take a few days to get us the newest brooms."
"It will be worth it! You were right; the old ones could have been tracked, so it wasn't a wrong move to destroy them. Where do you want to go afterward?"
"I was thinking just about that." I answered, biting my lips while she walked over, sitting in my lap and leaning back, pulling my hand around her waist. I could smell her sweet, strawberry-flavored scent, and the wetness of her hair didn't bother me at all. It was wonderful...
"I'm listening~!" She giggled, knowing full well why I fell silent.
"Prankster!" I grinned, rubbing myself against her, "But I was thinking of going east."
"Hm? To where?"
"Nurmengard."
"Huh?"
