"Enjoy the trip dears."

The two girls were munching away at a cauldron cake by the time I took my seat again.

[Chocolate Frog- Rank: Magical

Chocolate in the shape of a frog, enchanted to act like a real frog for 5 seconds. Restores 5 MP.]

I decided to not eat the chocolate frog at the moment and instead tried to go back to my reading but a sudden noise made look up.

Tracey was gagging as she spit something into her hand. I spotted an opened box of those weird jellybean things and guessed what had happened.

I let out a small snort. Really, they are just children, putting strange things into their mouths.

"What, have something to say?"

Oh dear, it would seem that the Greengrass Heiress didn't like my sense of humor.

Still I smiled pleasantly, "I beg your pardon?"

"You're a muggle-born aren't you. I suppose this must all be very strange to you," she said while crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes.

"Wow. You're right, I am a whatchacallit, a muggle-born. I admit that this is all very new to me. Everything on this side is just so fantastic," I said trying my best to play the part of surprised boy, "It's almost as if I step into a fantasy book. Ah! I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Charles Bell. It is a pleasure meeting you both."

"I am Daphne Greengrass," the blonde introduced herself stoically as she extended a hand.

I wasn't really sure what she was expecting, but I shook her hand rather than kiss it just to be safe.

"Hey, I'm Tracy Davis!" the other girl said waving her hand before jumping to the opened seat next to me and took out the box of jellybeans, "Here try one."

I looked at Daphne and saw a hint of a mischiefs smile.

I mentally rolled my eyes at their childish prank. "That's rather kind of you. I'll take one I suppose."

My eyes quickly used observe to scan the jellybeans. Unhesitant I took a yellow jellybean and threw it in my mouth.

The two girls search my face for any reaction, but they were disappointed when I didn't immediately gag.

"It's lemon, it rather good actually."

Tracy, seemed to not accept defeat after a single instant however, "Really, have another?"

I took a green jellybean this time, "Watermelon."

"Tch. One more?" she said shaking the box to mix them up.

"Cotton candy," I told her as I got another.

"One more."

"Raspberry, I think?"

"One more."

"Mango."

After a few more turns she finally gave up with a scowl and shoved the box into my chest before retreating to her seat to sulk.

I looked at Daphne with an innocent expression, "Did I do something wrong?"

"…No. But I must say, you have rather amazing luck," she said sounding a little impressed.

"Oh? Okay. So Daphne, would you mind teaching me a bit on wizarding culture?" I asked, taking this golden moment to find out more about the magical world.

"Why would I do that?" she said raising an eyebrow.

[A quest has been created.

Impress an Heiress:

Daphne Greengrass doesn't think very highly of you. Impress her enough to change her mind.

Completion award: EXP 500

Increase closeness with Daphne Greengrass and Tracy Davis.

Completion failure: none]

"Well seeing as you have lived on this side longer than I have, I just thought you could give me some tips."

"Hmm? I suppose I could, but what would I get in return?"

"Well I have nothing right now that could possible interest you, but… how about a favor."

"Just a favor?"

"Then what if I show you a neat magic trick I just learned? If you can figure out how I did it then you can ask me for anything?"

The two girls looked at each other unsurely. "Okay, let me see this trick."

I rolled back my sleeves all the way to my elbow and took the box of Jellybeans in one hand, "Now keep a careful eye on the box."

They leaned in closer to get a better look.

When I knew I had their full attention I brought my other hand up and slammed it down on the box with a loud slap causing the girls to jump back in surprise.

Lifting up my hand I revealed that the box was now gone, "Tada! So how did I do it?"

Daphne looked unsure at her friend, "Umm. Was it banishing magic?"

I titled my head to the side in an innocent manner, "Banishing magic? I don't know what that is?"

"Right. You're a muggleborn, you don't know about that yet?" the blonde muttered under her breath as she bit her nail.

This went on for a few more minutes with the two girls coming up with different theories but none of them made sense.

Finally, Daphne hung her head, "I-I don't know."

Of course, she couldn't figure it out, I had used the inventory window instead of magic after all.

Clapping my hands again I made the box appeare and put on a cocky expression, now for the final step to complete my act.

"Told you it was a neat trick," I said before throwing a jellybean into my mouth only for my face to scrunch up and gag, "Guk, gross. It tastes like grass!" I made an exaggerated show of using my robe to clean my tongue.

They giggled at my displeased expression.

[Quest Complete.]

[Your level went up by 1. ]

Seeing that my plan had worked I joined them in laughter.

Now that the ice was broken, the girls seemed to completely forget their previous attitude towards me as they took turns to answer my questions.

For the rest of the trip I asked different manners of questions, with Daphne and Tracy more than happy to boast about all the amazing things that the wizarding world had to offer.

I asked some personal questions here and their so as not seem rude, while they did the same. Most of what I said was made up obviously since I had no memories of ever living in this world, but it was believable enough.
