Paris has turned me into a Muggle!

[ James actually sounds quite pleased and excited. Despite being a Pureblood Wizard who enjoys his magic far too much, he is quite looking forward to living how the other half live. He's never had this experience before. Everything has been magic, magic, magic, and a great lack of telephones. Lily would love this. This is how she grew up. ]

What does one do in Paris? I've never been out of London before. Never really had the chance to.

What do people do in other countries? I'm referring to those without magic. There's no Floo or Knight Bus or any shops where I can buy chocolate frogs. Do you take photographs with those boxes? Drive around in your automobiles? Talk to strangers on the tele-mo-phone? [ Telephone. He was so close! ]

If you don't have any plans, I'd very much like that.

As long as I can get one of those Eiffel Tower hats. I've seen them in Muggle movies.

I'm sure I can ask the museum for some time off before Christmas.

[chuckles] Oh, yes, that would look very stylish on you.

[toerags]

You work at a museum?

[courageous-wit.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm an intern. Apparently I've been working there for college credit.

[toerags]

Do you know what you're studying?

[ ... ] That sounds like a stupid question if taken out of the context of being thrown into Paris and alternate lives.

I haven't chosen a major yet, but I think I'm leaning toward law and criminal justice.

It's not really stupid at all. I think... this is what I'd be doing if I were fully Muggle.
