“Oh come on, he isn’t that bad! If you read the book he gave out, it’ll explain it all. Besides, I admire him for his bravery of exploring all the muggle ideas. We just see them as lower then us and discredit everything they say as a child’s blabbering. Wizards and witches just forget about explaining the natural phenomena around us and just focus on magic. The muggle have studied this stuff for ages, they have it right, we are just too proud to admit that some muggle discovered it before we did. Yeah, so you can barely understand the dude, but he does know a sure lot more then anyone else on the subject, he’s just too, I’dunno, different so we all just discredit him too.”
Selena didn't smile as she remembered the muggles at Hope Village and couldn't picture them as...S-M-A-R-T. They were cruel and mean...Perhaps her past experience with them had cloud her judgement...

“Me? Yeah, umm… I’m muggle raised. My dads a pureblood squib, and my mom is a total muggle. My Grandfather was an amazing auror in his day, he’s now retired. When my father, an only child, was born, my Grandfather was greatly distressed. My Grandmother died giving birth to him so now the only surviving air to his family was a squib. Still, he raised my father like any loving father would, sending him to the muggle schools. He grew up like a normal muggle, still completely aware of the wizarding world. He married my mom, a total muggle, and never told her about magic, she right now thinks I’m in a prestigious muggle boarding school. I grew up with all the muggle ways, I know them. Muggles are exactly like us character, value, and smart wise. They think and act just like us, we just have magic. I’m sure you can think of evil wizards and witches, and good ones too, muggles are just the same! You talk of it as if you think they’re monsters or something!”

Selena silently listened and held back the urge to outburst "That's because they are monsters!" when Felix mentioned that the tone of her voice sounded disgusted and angry. But Selena had never meant to ask about Felix's past when she had only meant the teacher's.
"Sorry...Just have a nasty experience with them..."

Felix saw that Selena was holding back her emotions. She really thought they are monsters or something. The Gryffindor didn't want to leave her with that opinion! It was so off from the truth. Trying not to sound judgmental, Felix tried to say whatever he could to convince Selena.
“I know you don’t like muggles just because you met a few that weren’t exactly friendly, but I could say all the wizards of the past and now are monsters just because of people like Vold3mort and Count Scorpious are the same race. It’s not the true though, you just had a bad experience, that’s all!” Felix tried to keep calm so that Selena would not defend herself. “I’m sure if you saw someone who is doing the impossible and saying it’s normal and treating you like dirt you’d act harsh on them too, I’m sure that’s what the muggles who you encountered did. I’m not defending their actions, but I’m just trying to help you understand, muggles are just like us. Like Novus said, sorry if you don’t agree with him, they, except of what they are, are no way different.”
Felix felt quite bad really. He finally found something to talk about, but it was nothing more then a debate and argument. He seemed to always find arguing and persuasion fun. Firefox should get a debate team.
“Selena, I know we have different opinions on this, so can we just set them aside and forget it. I’m sure it’ll come up but I don’t want to argue about it. Lets change the subject, eh? So, what’s your history?”

Selena unconciously rubbed her scarred wrists that thankfully were covered by her fingerless gloves. Selly couldn't help but feel/show the shock that Felix had figured out why she had been harsh on Muggles. Maybe not the details but it was close.
“Selena, I know we have different opinions on this, so can we just set them aside and forget it. I’m sure it’ll come up but I don’t want to argue about it. Lets change the subject, eh? So, what’s your history?”
Selena felt better since the Gryffindor was willing to change the subject as she was starting to get uncomftrable and angry with the conversation they were already having.
"What do you mean by history? I'm pretty sure i'm not near Dumbledore's age."
Yes. She just made a joke out of the suggestion.

At first Felix thought that Selena was mocking his question, soon to find she was actually making a joke of it. Smiling, a pair of rolled eyes responded, at least she wasn’t continuing arguing.
“You know what I mean. Like, what’s your story? I’m guessing pureblood maybe? Umm… I dunno…”
Felix was just trying to make conversation, but he really did want to know what her story was; what her ‘bad experience with muggles’ really was.

“You know what I mean. Like, what’s your story? I’m guessing pureblood maybe? Umm… I dunno..."
Selena could almost laugh at Felix's reaction to her small joke but his question puzzled her. Pureblood? Half-blood? Selly really didn't know if she was a pure or just plain half. Maybe even muggle born for that matter.
"I don't know...All I knew that I could do magic while...While everyone else couldn't..."
Almost a slip there. She almost mentioned her fraternal twin who should be at home at Hope Village.

Felix had to smile, he subconsciously imitating just that. "Hey, well, they always get people to talk and right now I wasn't getting much luck, so thought maybe their approch would work."
Thinking, the young Gryffindor came to a conclusion he hadn't wished to come to. Selena was avoiding the question at all cost. Finally deciding to just drop it, Felix still wanted to note it to the stubborn Ravenclaw.
"You're never going to tell me, are you? Well then, I guess I don't need to know. Any substitute subject you might be able to suggest?"
goddamn gigantic-ass image resized by orca. you're welcome.
"What are you talking about? I told you that I didn't know if I was a pureblood or just a muggle born. That's what I least thought you had asked."
Felix was starting to get persistent but had given up on the question. Ack, what started out as a friendly conversation had turned into a serious interrogration. THIS is why Selena doesn't like going to court!

Felix hear the sound in Selena's voice, and he didn't like it. He, in no way, had meant to presser her in any way. It seemed that it didn't matter what question he asked, she had to rebuttal it in some way. Not the way that Felix did it though, for the fun of debating, but more as if she was offended by what he said.
"Oh, oops, sorry, I guess I missed that."
So Selena was an orphan? He didn't dare ask. If she was put in a muggle orphanage, then she would sure to receive some unpleasant experiences with them. Still, he would not ask. He didn't mean to interrogate her, it was just her choice to have it seem that way.

Felix looked as if he wanted to ask more questions about her but he didn't seem to dare. Selena hadn't meant to turn this into an interrogation but the Gryffindor is so nosy. Curiosity killed the Gryffie and satifastion won't bring it back.
