"Gentlemen, and I use that term lightly," Remus stood before his three friends with his hands behind his back and was looking quite pleased. "I would like to present to you a wondrous piece of Muggle technology."
"Television?"
"Internet?"
"What's that?"
"I don't know, I just liked the word." Sirius grinned. "It sounds cool. "In-ter-net. Inner-net. In-her--"
"Yes," Remus twitched with his eyes closed. "We get the point."
"So what is this here piece of wondrous technology?"
Remus held up two small blocks smugly.
Sirius scowled. "I'm too old to play with building blocks."
"Not building blocks, magnets." Remus knelt and placed the magnets onto the floor. "Just watch."
With one block, he gently moved it across the floor towards the other. When it came close, the other magnet scooted way.
Sirius bounded forward. "Wow! Do it again!"
Remus pushed the magnet closer and the other block scooted farther along the floor.
James's eyes glowed. "It's like--it's like Muggle magic, but cooler!"
The sandy-haired boy beamed. "But that's not all, watch this." He turned the magnet around and approached the other. Instead of repelling, the other magnet zipped towards it and glued itself to its mate.
"Sweet!"
"Brilliant!"
Remus stood up with the magnets. "Welcome to the wonderful world of science, my friends. A common course in--"
"Yeah, yeah, blah blah, GIMME!" Sirius pounced and Remus 'oomphed' as an overly large pile grew on his stomach.
"I wanna play!"
"Me first!"
"WANKERS! I got 'em first!"
Remus inhaled heavily as the weight disappeared and watched as his friend fought over the simple Muggle magnets. "Science is dangerous."
