And no, he didn't have a nickname for her yet. Now that he thought about it, the only person at hogwarts he had given a nickname was Ashley. So he wasn't against nicknames, he was against nicknames for himself. "Please don't ever feel bad about that" he said as he looked at the girl in all seriousness. "I personally will never resent you for feeling glad to be from a pureblooded family because i would have felt the same way if i were in your shoes. Just like i didn't have a choice to be from a muggle family, you didn't have a choice being born in a pureblooded one" So no, he could never resent her for feeling glad.
The thought of joining the Neo Alliance had haunted him before. In those sleepless nights in which he tossed and turned in his bed. If joining meant he could protect his family.... make a compromise with them to keep his family safe.... But then he thought about what would be expected of him and he immediately felt guilty for having such thoughts. Because why was his family more important than another innocent family? If he joined, he'd only be a monster. Not a savior.
Even though he was looking at the grey-ish sky behind Irithel , he still paid attention as she told him about herself. "I've been to Sweden twice" he said . "Family vacation" he added in case she didn't get that. "I'm Korean. I moved to England when i turned eight or nine" he answered.He wasn't really in the mood to tell her the reason why they had moved. As for video games. Now THAT was something he could talk about all day. "I love video games! Especially virtual reality ones! Its basically a helmet you wear and you're 'inside' a game yourself. Think about how some of the professors use magic to change the room for us to interact with. It's like that but with technology , fascinating right?" his face lit up the more he talked. "The Technology Lounge is my favorite room in all of hogwarts because it reminds me of home" he said. "We should play a game in there-----" he trailed off as he thought about how they had been forced to destroy it on the first day...
Great. Now he was sad again.
If he was super rich? the seventh year shrugged his shoulders . What an odd question to ask.... "I mean, money wise i am "super rich" yeah." he air quoted with his fingers "But you can be rich with love. Or rich with a skill as well" he added. Irithel remembered a lot of people's names for no reason, so she was the weird one for already knowing Minjae even though they were not in the same year or house. He did not have to feel bad for not knowing her name. "Nice to meet you too," she replied with a nod.
Of course, she never really meant it when she said "nice to meet you" to someone she barely knew, but it was different this time. She was truly glad to have met this ANGEL after listening to what he said. Humans couldn't possibly be so empathetic and generous. If she were in his shoes, she would curse every pure-blood idiot she came across in the corridor for making her life miserable. In fact, she already lived most of her life hating people unfairly and shutting them out. She could work on becoming more like Minjae and make others feel better about themselves. "Thanks, wow ... I love you too," she blurted out. It wasn't the perfect speech she was hoping to say in return, but it was ... an abridged version.
The English-Swedish girl did not have much to say about Sweden, as she did not feel a strong connection with that bit of her heritage. Korea, huh? "I've never been there before, but I'd love to visit someday. I bet I can persuade my family to go on vacation to Korea." You know, if Headmaster Rosier even lets them go.
She didn't like how he was explaining video games to her as if she were a five-year-old. She knew how they worked and had even seen a picture of the thing Muggles put over their eyes! Irithel did not find it very fascinating, because first of all, you could be in a cool interactive environment, but how would you SEE it when you are practically blindfolded? Didn't the Muggles notice this simple error? But Minjae looked so happy talking about it and she had promised herself just a moment ago that she would be nicer, so she just nodded and tried to understand. "Yeah, haha ..." Oh wait, his favourite room in all of Hogwarts was Bombarda-ed. "It sucks that they took your hobby away. Like, a big chunk of your life just exploded. It would be nice to be in a virtual reality right now."
Now she could understand why those games were so popular.
Well duh, she was asking money-wise. Could he get any more Hufflepuff than this? Though what he said got her thinking. "You're also rich with kindness and video game skills! I'm rich with uhhh confidence. And baking and procrastinating skills." She could even procrastinate on baking, so she was basically a professional.
