With the help of my dearest Slytherin friend, Belinda Woodall.
Chapter Seventy-Seven - Techno Babble
Everyone seemed to accept Kagome's explanation without any further questions. It wasn't like any of them could doubt Hermione's logic or fully understand what Kagome meant with bones, soil, and soul bound. Along with Shippou, she explained in details what was done and, while he didn't see himself as a genius, he wasn't stupid either. Yet, neither him or Fred could dream about reproducing the process.
"Onii-chan," Souta called. He had his phone positioned for a selfie. "Say cheese!" George barely had time to turn before a click was heard and Souta lowered the device. "I'll post on Instagram and tag you two!" Not a minute later, his phone buzzed.
George picked the mobile and saw not one but a dozen notifications. He opened the app and found pictures of the day, such as one in the metro with Fred posing using some Snapchat filters, another with Souta and Mrs. Higurashi at the airplane, several others with Souta or Fred making faces while he was with Kagome in the back, even one with Ms. Halliwell. When they found time to take those pictures was a mystery to him.
"Kaa-san, nee-chan, onii-chan! Look, it's Inu-no-ji-san's great-grandson!" Souta excitedly showed them the picture of a toddler with snow white hair and puppy ears. The tiny hands held visible sharp nails.
"Kawaii! Demo…" Kagome's English improved to almost perfection but still slipped from time to time when talking to her family. "Since when are you in contact with him?"
"Shippou popped as a follow suggestion. Then I stalked his profile…" And his brother-in-law made a not so short version on how he found some of Kagome's youkai friends on the internet. It came as the biggest surprise that Souta's favorite YouTuber was a descendant of one of them.
Fred got the hang of technology and internet much faster than him. He swiped through the pages as if he did it all his life. The dead twin took the phone from his brother's hand and quickly checked what Souta was mentioning.
A murmur made George remember his family was still there with them and completely clueless on what was going on. Social media can be so distracting he forgot to interact with them. His dad and Hermione shared the same face of curiosity. While she was muggleborn, her life was completely centered in the magical world and it wasn't her fault to be outdated when it came to technology. Same goes for Harry. His father was a lost case of muggle fascination.
"Accio iPad!" The gadget flew to him. "Anyone want to see some muggle magic?"
I'm so honored with all reviews the last chapter received! I couldn't resist the FMA reference. It's already a classic.
Now it will be George playing the teacher to show his family the wonders of technology!
Thank you all, again! There aren't words to describe my happiness right now.
Please, review this one too!
P.S. Booooo e-mail system!
