[ It is absolutely integral that Scott not reach out to tuck her bangs back from her face, because they just met and for as soft as it looks he knows better. His eyes are still drawn to the sweep of her hair, though, before going back to her face. He can't help the little grin he gives her, bouncing a little in place. He can absolutely explain this to her, and maybe he's a little excited about that. ] Someone that's pureblood has like, this long line of magic on both sides of their family. A halfblood is someone that's magic on one side and muggle on the other. And then muggleborn is someone born into a non-magic family.

[ A little voice that sounds a lot like the missing Stiles nags at him, but he dismisses it. There's more than that, but it's the important stuff and that's what matters, all right? One thing at a time, sometimes even he got confused about it sometimes.

His slight bounce leaves as she actually looks at him, and maybe he melts a little even as he laughs. ] I totally turned eleven this summer. [ But he grins still, shaking his head-- and then realizing he should probably nod and confirm. ]

Right.

...Gotcha. [ What. ] So that makes me a halfblood, I guess. It makes me sound like some kind of superhero.

[ Which, hey, random superpowers. Maybe she's secretly the star of her own new magic comic book. That'd be seriously awesome (although Kira questions why anyone might pick her to be the protagonist--awkward a good protagonist does not make.)

She blinks at him with the joke, because she definitely believed him for two seconds, then a smile breaks out across her face and she shakes her head, grinning at him in the way that lights up her eyes. ] You totally come off as eleven.

[ Yeah Scott doesn't know either. But he tries to know, so there's that. ] Me too. My mom's the head nurse at the school, which is kinda fun 'cause she's Madam Melissa McCall.

[ Nothing about his father, but after what a jerk he was this summer when he dropped in on them? He is basically resolutely pretending that he does not exist and that there is no Rafael McCall to speak of. ] Which is kinda like a superhero name, now that I think about it. My friend, Stiles, he reads uh. Muggle comics way more than I do-- he compared Hogwarts to a school for superheroes once.

[ What was it again? Xavier's? He can't remember because she just lit up and he's totally charmed by it. ] There's no age potions here, promise.
