Watching curiously, Minjae watched as she pointed it at his textbook and began siphon up the ink colored textbook. "Hey hey HEY!" he shouted , forgetting he was in the library as he made a wild grab to get his textbook away from her but it was too late, all the color was gone and it looked like any other textbook now. "What you do that for!? you can't just siphon up the ink from someone's textbook!" No matter how messy it looked.

The look of astonishment was returned with a confused look of himself. Had he said something weird again? Wasn't it normal to ask questions? What else was he supposed to do at a library? Homework? Pffft.

So she was born in New York? It was interesting how a lot of students didn't even seem to be from England or nearby. "I'd love to visit New York one day" he said . "I've never been anywhere in America. How old were you when you moved?" He did notice her comment of her mum and herself moving to Brighton and he figured her parents were either divorced or her father had passed away but either way, they didn't know each other well enough for him to ask right now.

"I'm from Gangnam but i moved near Windsor when i turned nine" he said with a small smile on his face as he remembered the fiasco of that year. His parents, both being muggles and knew nothing about the magical world, thought that Minjae was seriously ill when he started showing signs of magic. Long story short they came to England in the hopes of finding out what was wrong with him from the best specialists until a professor visited them to tell them about Hogwarts.

He personally wouldn't say it was fortunate being the only child because she would miss out on so much stuff and no matter how much he disliked his little brother and called him a 'nightmare' he still had fond memories of them playing together and he would literally protect him with his life.

His brother was still a brat though.

"You are correct" he said with a nod. "I do have a little brother but he will start at Hogwarts after i graduate next year" next year.....

Maybe he should study if he wanted to pass his NEWTS...

Serena almost laughed at Minjae's irritation at everyone's refusal to accept monetary benefits in exchange for ~~manual labor~~ favors "Maybe because you're being utterly daft about how you make it." She replied with a roll of her eyes "No one likes to feel like their being paid to do something - so try a little subtlety"

She set her wand down, tucking it back into its holster - but before she could finish strapping it back in, Minjae was shouting - shouting in the library! "Don't be so dramatic, Minjae!" Serena hissed lowly, keeping her head down, as she heard distant warnings of 'ssshhs' coming from fellow students in surrounding tables. "Honestly, I did your book a favor. It was practically damp from all the highlighter fluid you used on it." Picking up her own set of muggle highlighters - a pretty pastel colored set she purchased over the summer - she demonstrated, highlighting a word - then a couple of connected phrases after it. "See? That's looking less like a neon colored rag, and more like a book now, isn't it? "

Now, if only she would do the same to her own study material.

She continued highlighting key words for him, allowing with their explanation - keeping the highlights at a few words at a time. She skipped several pages as well, topics that went way over her head, NEWT level stuff that she need not worry about till she was 6th year.

At his declaration, she looked up and smiled. Talking about home was always a good topic. "Oh, you should visit sometime - maybe like in September. The trees in central park turn this lovely orange color, and its just overall a wonderful fall vibe." She suggested "Summer of course is equally lovely, but New York City is often packed with tourists - more than usual - so its a bit harder to get around."

Setting the highlighter down and replacing its cap, she leaned her head against her palm "We moved when I was three. My dad's company relocated - so we had to move with him too." Although, as far as she was concerned, America was the only home country she had ever known for the last 14 years of her life.

"Gangnam? That's in Korea, right? I've never been to Korea." Serena stated, she leaned forward, excitement and curiosity plain on her face to see "What's it like in Korea?"

She had been tucking away the books that were littering the long table that they had now commandeered for themselves when he mentioned that he had a little brother. She wouldn't have taken him for the older brother type! Much less an older brother to one that wasn't even Hogwarts age yet!

"That is if you graduate." She joked with a mischievous chuckle
