Be assured, your shoulder is quite safe from any teenage boy tears.

[ Henry, please. He's not her boyfriend. Well, not in any official capacity. There's not really much of a label that they put on whatever they are. They just... are.

... but yes, she knows Peter does cry a lot. ]

A pizza won't fit in a cauldron, it's much too small.

We do use ovens! So it's really things that use electricity. So microwaves or kettles. That sort of thing. We don't use anything with electricity because magic interferes with it.

[ That also means.... no television. Unless you're a Muggleborn. ]

[You accept one label, you accept them all, Mr. Willy Stewart.]

Thank god.

Is that the reason? I thought maybe modern stuff just wasn't cool by wizarding standards. That explains why British people are so shit at coffee.

[ You can't make her, Henry. ]

Oh, no! I really like Muggle technology! A lot of witches and wizards do find it quite fascinating, in fact. My friends Ron and Ginny's dad really likes it especially. I think it's all really clever.

But yes, it interferes with magic so we don't use it. Although there's plenty of wizards and witches who do since they've grown up with it. Ones who didn't know they were magic.

We do tend to prefer tea, in all honesty.

[Fortunately for Luna Henry believes in a fair deal. Unironic uses of "Muggle technology" in her presence in exchange for her having been calling them each other's boyfriend and girlfriend for months already? That's fair, right?]

It's funny. Magic exists but dishwashers are exciting.

[Kind of hilariously sad proof the grass really must look greener on the other side, even to magic people.]

Let me guess, you grew up a proper tea drinking witch.

[ ...... Well. ]

Dishwashers are quite good! I like televisions the most, though.

[ She is still a teenager at heart, even if she is a witchy one. ]

I do like tea, yes. Although me and my dad much preferred unusual kinds, often made from magic plants. Gurdyroot is an excellent one we like, for example.

You're saying Hollywood does the moving picture thing better than wizards? Go us boring muggles, we got something right. And coffee.

Magic tea plants. Should've seen that one coming. What's that one do? Go on, blow my mind.

We don't actually have movies at all, really. So it very much wins by default. No movies, no television, no video games. So you've actually got quite a lot of good things.

It wards away Gulping Plimpies. It's a kind of fish with legs.

[ #JustLunaLovegoodThings ]

What do you do to avoid actually talking to people while you're on the couch?

[Okay, Luna. Okay.]

Oh, is that all? Sounds dangerous.

Well, I just don't talk to them? If I didn't want to talk to someone, I'd just tell them that.

[ Is... this a trick question? Because that'd be the obvious answer. Just... don't talk to people. ]

Most people back home don't really want to talk to me anyway, so that's alright.

[ Yikes. ]

They're quite annoying pests. Best to keep them away. But they do make a rather delicious soup!
