Lola poked her nose out from the book. "Hmm? Oh, well we're all testing this cauldron, made from this muggle metal hybrid... Stained... or Stainless Steel, or something. I think we're supposed to try to break it. Well, officially, we're ensuring its safety for the general public. But unofficially, I want it to melt." Lola giggled, somewhat girlier than her normal laugh. Weird, she thought.

"Stainless Steel, you mean?", he asked with a certain boost of confidence - he had heard of the alloy from muggle friends of his. Here at last was testimony that he could give his pureblood father - testimony that befriending muggles was not as bad as he thought.

"I've heard of it. I have muggle friends who've told me about the alloy - something about it keeps it from rusting I believe", he said, smiling at what Lola said. He pretended not to notice anything when she laughed.

"Muggles use them a lot for their utensils and such. I guess it wouldn't be too bad to introduce some of these varieties, would it?"
