He was curious as to how it would be like to grow up in the Wizarding World; the Muggle world was nowhere as exciting and fun, though he supposed it could be at times, but he probably resented it so much because it was all he knew, and he grew sick of it.
"The most brilliant of them all! As brilliant as Merlin!!!" Selina had in fact explained Merlin's greatness to him in the common room not far back, and he was indeed an excellent wizard. As wonderful a wizard as William Shakespeare was an author.
"Are you kidding me? I think it's wonderful! It's like a piece of history right in my own hands! The faded parchment, the folded up corners, even the ink in which it was written opposed to Muggle's text of it is just amazing! It's like he wrote it out of this book himself!" He smiled so happily just thinking of his book. It was a truly amazing gift.
Selina giggled at his question about baby brooms. She supposed that growing up in the Muggle world had skewed his ability to comprehend some of Wizarding Culture. It was a double edged sword of course. Selina herself did not understand that much about Muggle culture and her own grandfather was a Muggle. "No of course not! It's a horrible idea, putting babies on broom sticks. So my Dad had a special one made for me and my size. Now that I'm older of course I get an adult broom, but most kids did not even get the chance to play prior to their first year at Hogwarts."
Then he spoke about Shakespeare and sat back in his chair heavily. "You okay?"
