Lore silently reached the Fiction and Literature section. She started running her fingers over the spines of the books, trying to find one that was either interesting or in English. Hopefully both. She sat down and looked near the bottom of the shelves, scanning the titles. Alice in Wonderland? She picked the book and started to read it. Within five minutes she was already deep into the story.

Rick entered the fiction section, curious about the book mentioned in History of Magic. While his faterh was a wizard, he was a muggleborn, and his stepmother was a muggle. He'd never heard of the book before now, and was just curious enough to read it. He skimmed through the section, pausing briefly now and then to read a particular title before moving on, until he found the Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Pulling the book off the shelf, he walked over to a table before he stopped to blink. Lore sat there, obviously engrossed in a book of her own. He read the spine of the book, and an eyebrow cocked in surprise. "Wow, I'd never heard of someone not reading Alice in Wonderland before." His voice was low, with a touch of humor in it. "Decided to read some muggle literature?"

Lore looked up, surprised. She smiled. "Well, I did kind of get my childhood stolen from me. And my Dad doesn't let me read anything Muggle-related. I have to sneak." She looked at him. "What book are you reading?"

Rick grinned a bit. He lifted his book up. "Tales of Beedle the Bard. I never read the tales, and since they were mentioned in class, I was curious." He shrugged. "My mum's a muggle, and my dad's a muggle-born. They never read it either, and probably had never even heard of it."

Lore cocked her head to the side, her hair falling over her shoulders. "I think I may have missed that lesson. I can barely remember anything this year..." she trailed off. She looked up again. " Is it any good?"

Rick rubbed the back of his head. "I'm not sure yet. I only just skimmed through it during class, and I hadn't really read them. I'm not that fast of a reader." He chuckled quietly. "So how's Lewis Carroll for you? I read that back when I was five or six."

Lore nodded. "It's good! Five or six, huh? Let's just ignore the fact that I'm twelve." She smiled. " Though, admittedly, Alice is a bit of an airhead. A lovable airhead, but an airhead."

Rick thought back to the book. "Well, I'm not quite sure, but I think the term's naive. Following a rabbit down a hole is kinda something that sounds like little children would do, not older girls, anyway." He shook his head. "I wouldn't hold that against you, anyway. Not many kids that age are reading yet, and I was on chapter books by that age."

Lore nodded. "Maybe I just have a weird sense of time. When I was 7 and a half, like Alice, I was learning how best to avoid getting hit and how to clean the floor the right way so I didn't get "Daddy mad at me." Lore froze. She shouldn't have said that. She quickly turned to read, using her hair to cover her red face.

Rick looked up from the book he was looking at, eyes blinking in shock. "Wait, what? That's, that's not... I mean..." He paused, trying to come up with a good reply. "I couldn't imagine anyone going through that. The worst my dad does is ignore me and pretend I don't exist, but he never hit me before." He suddenly looked embarrassed, realizing how that sounded. "I'm just saying that no one should have to worry about that from their parents. Ever."

Lore looked up. "I know. They shouldn't. Pretty soon I'm going to alone with him too, seeing as my Mum can't stay around much longer." What he described his father did to him sounded a whole lot like neglect. "Sorry about your dad."

Rick Shrugged, his shoulders rising and falling in tandem. "I'm sorry to hear about your mum. And about my dad, it happens. It's not like I get mistreated or anything by him. Besides, my mum's pretty cool, She's even offered to teach me how to program on her computer this summer." He looked over at Lore, his face fixed in a slight grimace.

"Okay, so where were we before the talk of shoddy fathers? Rabbit holes and why people shouldn't follow a rabbit with a pocket-watch, right?" He didn't want to satrt really talking about his father, honestly. It felt as bad as it did when he and Kat did, since she stated he'd been neglected. Which he didn't feel like he was. Not really, anyway.

Lore nodded. "Well that's good about your Mum. What's a computer again?" The term sounded familiar, her brother, a squib, had used it every now and then. She smiled about Alice in the rabbit hole. "Maybe following someone with a pocket watch is just not a great idea in general. Especially if it's a talking animal."

Rick thought about how best to describe what a computer was. "Um, basically it's a muggle device that allows you to do a lot of things like it's magic. I'm not sure if I'm the best one to ask, though."

"Well, I would say it's a bad idea to follow anything down a hole, myself. Not necessarily the bit with the pocketwatch, but definitely not follow something down a hole." He shrugged again.
"Maybe that's why. She was being dense."
