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.


To be honest, Minjae wasn’t as simple-minded as some might think. If Irithel had been openly against Muggleborn or even muggles, he would have despised her but she had admitted earlier that she felt uncomfortable knowing she was a pureblood and that he was being discriminated against. This feeling she had meant to him that she cared. Maybe more than she even realized herself.

The ‘i love you too’ made him smile though and he shifted his body so that he could stretch his legs in front of him and wiggled them a bit. He was definitely a bit embarrassed by that statement. But also felt appreciated that was why he had smiled . Just a tiny bit.

”You should give a visit to Deoksugung Palace if you ever go” he said, nodding his head. ”There’s a statue there of King Sejong who invented the Korean alphabet. A MUGGLE did that, pretty neat huh?” he asked. ”Oh! And when you ‘re there you should definitely walk along the Stonewall Walkway as well” more feverishly nodding of his head.

He was so happy talking about his video games that he didn’t even notice that the Ravenclaw had seemed a bit offended on how he had explained how Virtual Reality worked. That happiness wasn’t long lived though because it always came back to that his favorite room had been destroyed. ”Not just my hobby! i brought some of my own games with me from home and those were destroyed as well! I lost money here!” Which wasn’t what truly bothered him of course because he had enough of that but it was the principle.

Rich with kindness… If only the Ravenclaw knew how much rage he had inside of him. He had exploded with anger two times now, once in front of Noah and another time in front of Professor Schmoe. He did not think of himself as a kind person. When she mentioned her procrastinating skills he chuckled though because he could relate. ”I think i still need to do a Transfiguration Homework from last year….” he said with a mellow expression on his face while staring in front of him ”Don’t tell anyone that” ever. ”I suck at baking though” he sighed. ” Our chef personally threw me out of the kitchen once when i almost set it on fire by accident… i just wanted to make a birthday cake. I have no idea what went wrong” another sigh. "What do you like to bake?" he asked curiously.
