I don't tend to see it that way, I kind of enjoy the fact that there's a whole area that our world tends to... ignore. Much the same way that we're ahead of them with our magic.

Especially when muggles are ahead of us in a few fields?

Really? Well, I'm glad. It's really interesting combining muggle practices with magical ones.

No, no, I think it’s fascinating. Not even remotely silly.

You think so? A lot of people have told me it was silly. Like, lots of people.

I like it, though, it's really interesting.

That’s really interesting. Honestly.

Oh, right, I work as a scientist, studying genetics for the time being.

Well, that’s nice to hear.

What about you?

As long as people are happy with their work I don't really think it matters.

[shrugs] It is for some. I’m glad it isn’t for you.

No, why would it be?

I work at the Ministry. I hope that’s not a problem…?

Well, yes. High hemoglobin levels can mean you have advanced lung disease or certain tumors, but in your case it's closer to what happens when sports players use drugs for performance enhancement. Your blood is more highly oxygenated so it means your red blood cell production has been raised, but instead of chemically like with the sports players yours is doing it naturally with no inherent risk to your physical condition. [April sterilizes the area of skin above his vein and hovers the needle over the spot.]

Do you need me to count to three or are you fine with me just going ahead with it?

[He obliges reluctantly.] Which allows us to what, do things more efficiently than other people?

I have, actually. I found out a few things concerning the amount of oxygen molecules your hemoglobin can carry, which tends to be four or five, slightly higher than average people.Can you roll up your sleeves please? [She pulls out a needle and begins prepping it along with the other equipment.]

Guess I beat you to it. I don’t suppose you found anything useful.

Oh, um - I'm checking your white blood cells to see what it is that causes them to heal you faster.

I mean, I was going to tell you anyways. It's not a secret and it's your blood so you deserve full disclosure.

Fine. The sooner we get this over with, the better. But let’s skip the meaningless chit chat. I want to know what you’re planning to do with it.

Only about a small needle full.

How small is small?

I only need a small sample of it, is that okay?

It's nice to meet you, too! So where do you work?

I’m Adrianna. Nice to meet you.

Well I hope you figure it out, then.Oh, of course, sorry, I'm April. And you are?

That’s sort of why I wanted to learn how to make them.

I’m sorry, I don’t think I caught your name?

My friends made them a lot in muggle school, but I never made them myself. I know with magic you can try to charm them to do things though.

I read a few pamphlets, and I had made a crane, but I think I’m blanking right now.

Origami? Paper folding? Do you... have instructions?

I was trying to do some origami thing, but then somebody called out and said I was doing it wrong, so I stopped.

Oh, that's true. Well what were you trying to do before?

Unless their advice was completely wrong.
