Wow, he genuinely wanted to show her a movie! She couldn't believe he would be so eager to patiently introduce her to something that was obviously pretty commonplace in the Muggle world, but clearly he didn't mind. The concept of the Muggle form of entertainment was so foreign to her that she suddenly thought of this as some sort of new undertaking: watching a movie. WOW. She wondered if Muggles got this excited when they watched them...
"How would you spoil it?" she asked curiously, her eyebrows knitting together. Did Muggle movies contain secrets? Or maybe each one had a deep meaning that one could only discover by viewing them, and he merely didn't want to give it away at the start. Though wizards and witches often poked fun at Muggles for being ignorant, since they overlooked the world of magic, perhaps they were instead much more intellectual. They didn't believe in magic "nonsense," so maybe they were practical, deep-thinkers. She suddenly wondered if she would even be able to understand the Muggle movie...
Braeden grinned brightly as Ava Jade agreed to his suggestion of watching a movie. Woot! This was exciting. The boy hadn't seen a good movie since the term started, which had been a few months ago already, so he was feeling rather movie-deprived. "In that case… follow me," said the boy with one of his excited, goofy grins as he began to lead the way down the corridor. He knew just the right place to sit and watch a good movie; actually, he knew two places, but he was afraid the other one might be in use.
As Ava Jade asked how he would spoil the movie, Braeden chuckled. "Well… I mean… Have you ever seen a play?" he asked, turning his head in her direction as he walked, lanky arms still carrying the large pile of books that he didn't even notice anymore now that they were on the topic of movies. "How would you feel if I told you the ending before it even started?" he asked with a chuckle. "It's no fun like that. You have to watch everything from the beginning and try to connect the dots yourself before the movie, at the end, gives you the answer. Some movies don't even really give you an answer to the question the plot revolves on; they leave you hanging, to make your own ending," explained the boy. He wasn't sure if any of this was making any sense to Ava Jade, so he stopped his blabbering there. He didn't want her to regret agreeing to this because he talked too much and made no sense, or something.
