Heath's face lit up at the sight of Claudine's smile. There was no way he could not smile along with her! The question got a shrug in reply. "No idea," he said. Technically that wasn't true. He did have one idea but it was too weird to voice; other students might make fun of him if they overheard! The orange peel and pine scents made him think they contained soaps or scented candles. Maybe they were making one of those things… or not.
Heath jumped slightly at the sound of Schmoe's voice. Wow, that was loud! He looked up, focusing his attention on the professor. Muggle news… well, that certainly wasn't where he thought this was going! How did that relate to the pine and orange peel smells? Consider his curiosity piqued!
He considered the question, immediately thinking of things like newspapers, television, and the internet. But all of those had already been said. Then his thoughts turned to olden times before any of those things existed. How did people get their news then? By word of mouth, he supposed. Was that a news source? Apparently so, as someone else (Serena) just gave that answer. Now he was getting really frustrated! Other people beat him to every idea he had, so now what? He didn't want to repeat answers, but he couldn't just not say anything. Come on! Think, Heath! he mentally told himself.
Eventually something came to mind, and his hand shot into the air. "Some muggle television and newspaper companies have mobile apps," he said. "These allow for easy news viewing on the go from devices like smartphones or tablets." Okay, maybe that answer was a bit of a stretch, but at least it wasn't a repeat!
