Note: I don't even know about this, wow.
Laughter emanated from the Room of Requirement. Inside, a group of people were sat surrounding a magic box of muggle wonders, or well, that's what James Sirius recalled it was, as he couldn't really remember the exact name.
It had been brought to the castle and taken care of by Charlie, a Gryffindor Muggleborn with too much money and time on her hands. But when they asked whose it was, she just shrugged and answered, "That's not mine, I don't remember whose it was actually,"
And so, they were currently sat around it, without their wands of course, as magic could damage the mighty box, and after Charlie had installed something called a router, they had entered the spider web – or something like that, James was very confused, and it seemed that the rest of his cousins had the same twist of confusion etched upon their faces.
Charlie had been the one handling the box, "You're all idiots," she had reasons, and at the explanation, many scoffed and another Muggleborn had told her that even if she didn't have enough money to buy one, she had used computers before.
Aha! So that's what it was called, a computer!
"I think we're all idiots, actually," said Victoire offhandedly, making Charlie roll her eyes and mutter an 'obviously,'
They were currently focused on some web page called Hugh Lube – YouTube? Whatever, and watching videos of people falling from stairs in the weirdest ways, which had turned out to very, very funny.
"This is so stupid," whined a Hufflepuff boy, consequently Charlie dangerously glaring at him making him shut up.
"Well," reasoned Alice with a smirk, "It is pretty stupid but it is very funny,"
Victoire laughed and James rolled his eyes at his friend's antiques. "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity," the blonde said wisely.
"Didn't someone say that before?" asked the Hufflepuff boy from before. Charlie shushed everyone and went back to show them more videos.
Charlie bobbed her head anxiously. "Okay, so this one is one of my favourites," She said as she turned the computer on them, a guys singing a weird song in another language burst into the screen, a bunch of multi coloured dreadlocks in his head.
"We have to be happy to bee happy!" he sang while he simultaneously jumped off a balcony and into a beehive.
James looked at her shocked. "Why would you like that?" he exclaimed, "The lad just died!"
Charlie shook her head, and muttered something about 'Jesus' or something similar.
The singing man suddenly burst out of the beehive, covered in ants. "Having so much fun with the angels of the lord!" he exclaimed, and Charlie burst out laughing, her eyes shining from oncoming happy tears.
James rolled his eyes. "That was all?" he said disappointed.
The ginger girl looked at him in surprise, just like Victoire, Alice and the Hufflepuff boy. "Really? You didn't like it?" Charlie said in dismay.
James looked confused. "Not really, I mean – angels of the lord? What lord? Why ants instead of bees? It's just so absurd!"
Charlie smiled at the boy. "Oh, boy, you need some internet education," she said simply.
