With a smile on her lips Nancy leaned over Steven to be able to hear and speak to the other boy properly. "Hey Luke. Nice to meet you. I'm Nancy." Then just to keep the small-talk up and because she couldn't think of anything more original to say she added, "So, what year are you in?" Yes, very creative but whatever.
With a sideward glance at Steven Nancy bit her lip upon seeing that he apparently wasn't feeling any better. Whatever was wrong with him. And exactly that was the thing she wanted to know. Why was he behaving that strangely, glaring at the Gryffindor table and stuff? Couldn't the Headmaster just get going with that speech of his so that she could drag her friend somewhere around the castle to inquiry what was going on?!
A Muggle School?! A quite shocked expression flashed across Nancy's face at April's question about Muggle schools. "No, of course not!" She exclaimed shaking her head slightly in how absurd the idea of her attending a Muggle School was. "Have you?" The description of one of those schools April provided a moment later only confirmed Nancy's point of view of Muggle Schools. They were horrible. Just horrible. How could somebody survive going there?! Hogwarts was just soooooooo much better. Hehe... "Oh, I assure you, they're not that difficult." Unless you don't know the difference between a Mandrake and daisy. But that was just her.
April nodded.
"For the last few years, yeah. You learn to live with it really." She shrugged. Muggle primary schools were annoying but not the worst thing ever, at least she hadn't had to go to secondary school which she'd heard was far worse and could come to Hogwarts.
"I suppose where you are matters too. I mean, I live in one of the po-- not as... good areas, I guess." April knew quite a lot about the muggle world, she'd been exposed to it a lot by her mother and travelling around a lot, more recently she'd learned what it was like to be a muggle kid. Kinda rubbish.
"It's good to know the lessons won't be too hard." She said.
