Unknowingly talking to werewolf @Henry Knight about werewolves
"Yeah, I think my phone is what I miss the most. It's almost like a little bit of magic, you know?" because they could do everything! "That thing was my way of contacting friends and my aunt, my camera, my calculator, my calendar, flashlight, timer, notepad, alarm clock, bookshelf, mirror, music, navigation, guitar tuner, weather checker, game system, television, internet browser, storage device, compass, ...used it as a camcorder, for my emails, as a hotspot.as my library card. I think I could go on," he thought honestly. In some ways it was a shame not having it there at Hogwarts but in other ways it fully immersed him into the wizarding world and probably made him focus more on the school that he attended.
"I like being in the library," he then continued onto the next question Henry had asked. "It's relatively quiet there and there's lots to learn about. I did recently hear that there's apparently a piano somewhere on the Fourth Floor?" he forgot that it was called the Rehearsal Room though so he didn't know what to call it. "Is that true? Have you heard?" he wanted to investigate that sometime but he knew that just trying to find the Owlery had been a daunting enough task.
One thing at a time. "When I first got here, I spent all my time in the library and no where else. It was fascinating to learn that things I used to think were mythical creatures were real. Lots of research spent on werewolves. I mean, werewolves...real? That's crazy cool!"

Enjoying the morning with @Simon Kincaid
Henry listened with amazement as Simon talked about what he did on his phone which some things he said caused Henry to question while others he was in disbelief since the boy never owned a phone and only saw them from others growing up since his family only had a landline and his father overall had some weird rules pertaining muggle technology.
" Maybe I could teach you about the wizarding world and you can teach me about the muggle one?" Henry asked hoping that the boy would accept and wouldn't be frightened away since he really did like him.
As he listened to Simon talk about likening to be in the library before asking if there was a piano on the fourth floor, Henry smiled a bit before saying " I love being in the library to there's just so much knowledge there and yes there is a piano in the rehearsal room on the fourth floor. I can show you if you like sometime," Henry then add a few questions pop into his mind as he asked " do you play?"
As the talk turned to book which was one of Henry's favorite topics his smile grew and then something that Simon said made him take a step back but at the same time he was happy and now more than ever wanted to be friends with the boy as he spoke " you like werewolves? You think they are cool? Uh-" Still he wasn't about to say he was on since that was his worst secret and fear so instead he spoke " I love werewolves to and all animals or creatures at that. Maybe we could meet up in the library sometime and I could tell you some facts about them since books tend to be biased."

Making plans with @Henry Knight
The first remark about learning about the wizarding world through him while teaching him about all things muggles sounded like an excellent idea. "It could be our own personal little study club. Our first session could be on werewolves and cellphones," and Simon could bring diagrams to show, maybe even have his aunt send his (although it wouldn't work while there) or maybe pictures of different applications and such. Simon liked for things to be thorough, plus he had quite a bit of extra time on his hands than the average person for his lack of sleep issues. He'd be sure to hold Henry to this, as it sounded like an excellent idea. They could hold these sessions in the library, since they both liked that particular location.
"Yeah, I play piano and guitar and saxophone. I'm not sure what I want to learn next. Thinking maybe trying violin or trumpet. Trumpet may be a little hard as I think I'm more adept to the reed instruments," but that didn't mean he couldn't try. Again there were just some things he had to do to fill his time and music had been one of them for many years now. "I'd love to find the piano here."
"So yeah," he got back to the first matter at hand. "Let's do it. Study session in the library. You be prepared to discuss werewolves and I'll be prepared to discuss cellphones. Also make a list of other muggle things you want to know about and I'll make a list of things from the wizarding world and we'll just pick from that for the next session. I warn you though, I've kinda got loads I'm curious about."

Setting up plans with @Simon Kincaid
Henry couldn't help but feel excited about setting up a study club or session with the boy who he was now itching to be friends with as he spoke " a private study club sounds like a brilliant idea. We could hold it off classes certain days or something?" As the twelve year old started to think about when they would meet and what to talk about or discuss he got excited since he loved the idea and would make a point to find Simon later to meet for their study club.
"That's wicked that you play so many instruments, I play the violin and piano. Maybe I could teach you the violin?" Henry spoke when he heard that Simon plays three instruments and wants to learn more as he spoke again "I can show you the rehearsal room now if you want?"
Nodding with a smile as he agreed to the plans before replying "sounds bloody brilliant and I have a lot of questions on the muggle world so I think we'll be pretty matched with questions and all," smiling before continuing " so want to meet tomorrow after classes for the study session and I can show you the rehearsal room now?"
