"Su, I need help!"
Rolling her eyes, she stands up out of her chair and waltzes slowly over toward the cry of help. It sounds like Anthony, but she's not sure if any Ravenclaw would have the guts to publicly ask for help. …Well, unless it was Lisa. She somehow did - and her complete honesty in all matters academic baffled her. Being a Ravenclaw, brains were all part of the package. One didn't just simply ask for help.
Whilst navigating her way through various tables and bookshelves, she finally finds the call for help. But, she's surprised to find one Ernie Macmillan, staring at his paper with so much confusion and despair that it's almost cute to look at. Apart from the fact that Macmillan is slowly turning a bright shade of red.
"Um, yes?" she replies bashfully as the boy quickly turns to face her and points at his paper.
"W-what's a telephone?"
Su almost laughs, as the word 'telephone' sounds almost alien coming out of Ernie's mouth. Especially when he pronounces it as 'tell-eee-fon'.
"It's a device that Muggles use to communicate with each other. Like…the floo network, but without the faces. You can only hear their voices…"
For a minute or so, she babbles on about telephones and their uses, before finally being stopped when Ernie gave an indignant yelp and clasped his hands over his ears.
"Shush! I think I've heard more about telephones than I ever want to hear in my life!"
Chuckling to herself, Su backs off and returns to her work across the other side of the Library. Now, she's finally realised just how much she knows about telephones – enough to drive anyone crazy.
