Henrietta giggled at Ezra’s compliment, she admittedly enjoyed learning and researching as much as she could. Sometimes without reason, just to fulfill her curiosity of the world. If she weren’t so shy during lessons, the youngling would most definitely be asking a plethora of questions to quench her thirst for knowledge. After all, like her grandmother once told her: knowledge is power.As for the acronym for DVD, the youngling tapped her chin with her fingertip.”Hmm, I’m not quite sure.” Etta was stumped.”You’re brilliant! It makes sense.”She smiled, her friend was very intelligent!”Then perhaps the V stands for video and the other D stands for device or maybe digital?” Maybe something along those lines, Etta figured.

Watching her friend experience the thrill of muggle magic (if you will) brought so much joy to youngling! Another giggle as Etta nodded in agreement, this was certainly very entertaining and fun! She wondered if every muggle lesson would be like this in the future because she had a long list of movies to dive into and share with Ezra.“This is so much fun!” She mused.

Etta looked over at Ezra when he jumped a little, concerned the movie might be too scary for her friend but his smile was a relief. Etta shifted her attention to Ezra when he whispered.”I don’t want to spoil the movie but…” The youngling cryptically smirked.

As the movie progressed Etta squinted her eyes a bit. Either her astigmatism was getting worse or it was simply the low quality of the graphics. Her eyes narrowed and her jaw clenched at the displeasure she felt during the scene where Casper’s three mean uncles humiliated the poor ghost boy during breakfast and made him clean after them. ”Those meanies.” Etta whispered and frowned. But the frown didn’t last long because her smile grew once the female lead, Kat, stood up for Casper. Kat was amazing!
Ezra wasn't sure he was brilliant – he had a good memory and a fascination with muggle inventions and technology is all, but he grinned all the same at Etta. She was a supportive friend indeed. He remembered seeing a DVD for the first time and thinking how pretty it was the way it reflected and shone, catching the light with a spectrum of colours. Video! Yes! Etta was right. He made a mental note of that in case they had to write an essay on what they did today. “And recorder I think. I don't know what the C stands for. Or the H S.” Hmm.. Perhaps he should have done some research in advance.

He got really really comfortable in the soft and squishy chair with big armrests and now a footrest. If Etta hadn't been here, he would be peering under the chair to get a good look at the mechanics, but he didn't want to look like a weirdo. Perhaps he would linger when the film was finished and take a peek. He munched his popcorn and took another slurp of his slushie which was beginning to melt in the warm theatre.

A glance at Etta when she whispered and he nodded and smiled in response, pleased to hear Casper wasn't doomed to be forever alone. He would have been oblivious to her squinting at the screen had he not looked at her. “Are you okay?” He asked concerned. “Do you have a headache?” A potion would zap that away in an instant. But his eyes went back to the screen with a start. A confrontation between Kat, her father and the uncles. The blinds opened and the three uncles flinched, and then began to melt dramatically into the the floor when sunlight hit them. Ezra gasped horrified, then shuddered. As bad as they were, they didn't deserve such a terrible fate! “Oh..” He didn't think this film was going to be nightmare fuel.

But woe and behold, it turned out to be a trick and Ezra relaxed again, back to nomming on popcorn. He grew more comfortable as the film progressed. Nothing else unsettled him in the same way and he began to lose himself in the story.
