He shrugged. "Maybe," Kenneth said. He wasn't sure his uncle would let him buy all of them, and he wasn't sure he'd even have time to read them all before school started. Or after school started. He examined the stack of books, looking to see if any of the titles sounded murder mystery-esque. None did, but that didn't surprise him...he wasn't sure what a magical murder mystery story would be called.

"I think these are all written by a witch or wizard," he said proudly. "I was looking for that sort, too, I've only ever read muggle stories." The one he currently had open was about some unicorn friends. If he could only buy one book, he thought it'd be this one. "Did you know unicorns are real?" he asked the other boy. He'd only just learned that today.

Roman had been about to say that would be a LOT of books to buy. He didn't think he had enough money from his papa to buy more than three at the moment, and would he even WANT to carry around more than three? Might be heavy.

He set the book back atop the stack in only mild disappointment. It didn't last, though, because the boy was being friendly. And he was being friendly about books. Roman couldn't talk to his twin about books a lot because his sister didn't enjoy reading like he did. He was finding that as they matured, they were growing more and more....different. She had different desires, goals, and likes than he did. It wasn't bad, but he was starting to think that maybe separate schools would work out for them.

Did he know unicorns were real? He scoffed as if the other boy had said something completely crazy and chuckled. "Of course I knew uni-" but he stopped at how serious he seemed. His face turned red at his blunder - clearly the boy was a muggle-born, and he might had inadvertently made the other boy feel stupid! And he hadn't meant to do that at all!

"I mean...yeah, I knew. I'm not from muggles. Are you?" he asked gently, still feeling awkward.
