Chapter 31: Ferrets and pranks
Ron quickly got comfortable with Harry and Nick and was chatting about all sorts of topics from quidditch to favorite flavor every flavor bean. It was clear that he didn't seem to understand how anyone couldn't know about these things so nick had to explain how the muggle world was totally different than the wizarding world. Ron seemed to figure it out pretty quickly and was more than happy to explain about all of the things he could thing of. Both Nick and Harry listened closely to these explanations and interjected when they felt more details were needed.-
The most interesting thing that Nick found out about was that while there were other magical communities across the globe very little information was exchanged between them. This was not just a language thing either as traditions were massively different in each one as well. An example of this was how in India parselmouths were widely respected and praised while most english wizards considered those who spoke the language of snakes as dark or evil. Ron apparently and biasedly assumed that the Indian magical community were the ones in the wrong. Neither Harry nor nick corrected him as it was clear he was well and truly set in his ways. -
The train finally started moving thirty minutes later during a conversation on the topic of muggle products versus wizard ones. It was getting pretty heated too as Nick insisted that muggle products were equal to wizarding ones while Ron refused to accept it. It wasn't an angry discussion but both sides were trying their best to sway the other side with Harry figuring it was best to stay out of it. This changed when one Draco Malfoy showed up with his two followers clearly having been looking for Harry if the way he locked onto him was any indication.-
Ron awkwardly said that he was good and pulled out a crushed sandwich from his pocket. Nick and Harry both shared a look and grinned "We'll take one of each!" they said at the same time with smiles and pulled out seven galleons each that was left over from not needing to buy their wands. Ron decisively tossed the sandwich out the window when offered to join in on the treat feast. Much like normal the chocolate frog card Harry got was Dumbledore but this time Nick kept it along with his own frog card with Ignatia Wildsmith , the creator of the floo network.
