He turned to her younger friend and raised his eyebrows with mild surprise when she introduced herself. Another Nam, eh? "Nice to meet you, Miss Nam! I'm Camilo Aguilar. Now, here is a wand specially designed for this game. Your goal is to use this wand and knock the snitches out of the air. The wand will produce a knock back effect automatically, so you will not be breaking the law against underage magic. Don't worry!"

Which also kind of answered big friend's question, though Camilo had not expected it. "Hmmm. Yes, I guess they can!" he smiled. He tried not to make assumptions, but he deduced from the question that either Lisa or tall friend was a muggle. He handed a wand each to him and Ashley, so they could play after the youngest Nam.

To say that Lisa was thoroughly amused with her and Dustin’s conversation would be an understatement. Honestly she didn’t know why the concept of a bodyguard wearing eye shadow was amusing… She supposed she thought of bodyguards and security details like the ones in the movie. All buff, strong, and in black and white suits. Maybe the eyeshadow was a tactic to keep his enemies on their toes? “Blue is a nice colour… Do you have plans to rule the universe one day?” This was critical information for the petite twelve year old girl to know because she had to know who her competitors were. Not that she wanted the responsibility and weight of ruling the world thrust upon her like Atlas and the Earth buuuuut… she just liked to know things.

Kazmi replaced Aguilar? Lisa couldn’t fathom someone other than Kazmi teaching flying. She had been terrified of him and many of the other Professors before but learned to value their knowledge and ask questions. Kazmi was able to keep Daniel and V in line which was good in her books.. Well more specifically V after her tantrum throwing fit. But anyway Aguilar was in front of her, so Lisa offered a smile. “The youngest and last Nam… for now!” she beamed up at the adult as he readied them for the activity. She gripped the wand that he had given her and offered him a smile. “Aw no breaking the law?” she joked before offering a nod. “I’m relieved… my exact question was going to be if this violated the underage magic law.. but now I know! I hoped it wouldn’t have. I really want to get back on the train to Hogwarts this year.” Didnt want to have to be caught up in all the shenanigans of court and the Ministry and SADNESS. She’d probably get grounded as a result. Her eyes flicked towards the targets (the Snitches) and then out to the crowd. That was when she noticed the man from Ollivanders. “Mr. Wand Maker!!” she cried and waved her hand excitedly. She had to tell him loads about the books that she had read- the ones that he had recommended of course. And maybe she could make her way over to him because he surely had more recommendations, yes?

What?

Lisa whipped her head round to look at Dustin. “You’re a Muggle. I’m just… surprised. It’s not like I have anything against muggles. My parents are muggles,” commented Lisa before going on her tippy toes. “Dont worry, Dustin, you’re in good hands here. Ash and I can protect you.” Yes, this barely five foot tall girl would come save the day.

“Anyway, can’t catch the snitches just chatting here…” With that, she turned to the game at hand. Ahh yes, let’s observe where these Snitches zoom off to…

Ash considered the question. "No... not yet. I wouldn't want them to save me. Not if it meant I owed them. I don't want to owe anything."

Dustin thought that being saved was not something that made you owe someone. They made a choice when they saved you. That was their choice. Plus, most people deserved to be saved whether they could 'return the favor' or not. Ashley, for example. He didn't think she would be able to save his life if he was being murdered with dark magic. But here he was protecting her anyway. It was for more reasons than just the (very good) money, too.

"I don't want to rule the world. I want to just be in charge of myself and my 'family'. Neither of you are going to rule the world either. You're too nice for that, and so am I." Good people didn't last very long in charge, power corrupted people, and also... world domination was just bad, in general. He figured Ash's father was rich enough to rule a bit of the world, but he wasn't a good man anymore. So.

"Oooh I can't wait to play." SHE HAD LOADS OF CASH. She'd probably stop playing after she won a couple things, but she was definitely gonna win something because she practically had unlimited chances. Perks of being a billionaire? She felt a little bit guilty about it. She figured she'd pay for other people to have extra chances too. Maybe she'd feel better after that.

Dustin turned a little bit pink and focused very focusedly on looking at the wand. It required lots of focus.

"I think Dustin can protect himself just fine." Like uhhh, why was he a bodyguard if he couldn't? His big mucles weren't for decoration. Ok... knowing Dustin, they probably WERE there partially for decoration... but that was besides the point. "Dustin and Alex are both practicing fighting wizards, you know. We found a dueling teacher who was willing to... do things a little differently." It hadn't been very hard. Because everyone needed money, and Father had lots of it. "But that's supposed to be a secret, so don't tell."

Ash was a good whisperer, but Dustin was a good listener. So he was listening to them! Be warned!!!

"I still haven't used my coupon, Mister Professor Sir Aguilar! But I wasn't planning on using it. I'm gonna keep it forever because it's like a trophy." She paused. "Is it TRUE that you wrote a book? I heard that from someone." And if it WAS true, she'd (unfortunately) be stopping by to buy his book and talk to him. HAVE FUN TALKING TO ASH FOR MORE THAN THIRTY SECONDS. Hahahahaha.
