A moment of silence, then he continued, lifting his head so as to look at Presley.

''- But she has admitted that there do exist good sides to the fact that my dad lives much like the muggles. Ya'see, mum was always worried about me failing muggle studies. She had no idea how she was going to give me a head start on the subject, as she herself didn't know a thing about them.'' He explained. ''Dad's lifestyle helped a lot there, I suppose.. And good grades are always good.'' He ended his explanation quite cryptically with what was probably the most redundant phrase anyone had ever uttered aloud inside the Ravenclaw Common Room, 'Good grades are always good'.

Presley struggled to keep from laughing at Philip's words. "good grades are always good." Well at least he didn't think good meant bad in a code language or something. She thought for a moment. She supposed it would make sense for him just to be one of those people that really loved the muggle way of life. She'd met a couple. The way he talked about them though...Presley didn't want to pry into matters that weren't her bussiness, but she was morbidly curious. "Are your parents divorced then?" The words slipped out before she could stop them, and instantly she regretted them. "I'm so sorry. You don't have to answer that. It was incredibly rude of me."
