The shiny, black box stood in the corner of the room as the four young men stood around it, excitedly discussing its features. One of them seemed to be braver than the others as he was actually touching the object that seemed completely foreign to the four of them. His messy black hair looked as though it had never been brushed though the gleam in his eyes suggested that he preferred to style it that way. Lily Potter walked into the room and the sight of the four friends made her roll her brilliant green eyes around her head. She walked towards them and leaned over the back of their shoulders, unnoticed by them all.
"What are you doing?" Lily said loudly, causing the four of them to jump.
"I'm showing them our new television thing," James replied. He gestured towards it as he spoke while the three others nodded.
Lily narrowed her eyes slightly. "You showed them the television last week when it first arrived," she stated, confused as to why they needed to be shown the thing again.
"Yes but I didn't know how to use the remote then," said James, waving the thing in front of her. "It controls the entire thing."
"Really?" Sirius interjected as Peter's mouth transformed into an awed 'o' shape and Remus stared interestedly at the black remote.
"Yeah," said James excitedly, "Want to see?"
Lily rolled her eyes before turning and leaving the room. "Wizards," Lily muttered under her breath as she made herself another cup of coffee. "At least I'm never going to be bored."
