Get away with stuff like what?

And what's a muggle? I've never heard that word before.

[arrogantalloy]

Like everything. [He gives John, 'duh' face] Like I get to play with muggle computers and build what ever I want. I could even throw paint everywhere and never get told off by my mom or dad.

[He hasn't thrown paint ever. But he's pretty sure if he did, no one would care.]

Well dad calls for mom or Jarvis whenever I'm near him, so I don't think that counts as being told off.

[The explination to come is said simply, he's not belittling or teasing John for not knowing/believing. Just saying it as if it's fact. Because it is.]

You're a muggle. Muggles are people who don't have magic, and think it's fake. Or not real in the first place, which is dumb because it is.

[playssoldier]

Jarvis? If he's your brother or something, he's got a funny name.

[John looks confused; his over-sized robes had begun to slide off him more, so he gathers them up again.]

So there are people who can do magic, and the ones that can't are muggles? If I'm a muggle, what am I doing around all this weird magic stuff?

[arrogantalloy]

[He shakes his head]

Nope, he's my butler. It's his last name too.

Dunno, maybe you have magic too? Some muggles get to have magic because they're special or something.

[Tony gives a shrug then looks at Johns clothes.]

Why are you wearing that when it's way too big?

[playssoldier]

Wow, never met anyone rich enough to have a butler before. I thought they were all old-timey and nobody actually had them anymore.

[John shrugs, and the motion has him desperately gathering the clothes to his frame again.]

Dunno! The last thing I remember I was in bed wearing my regular pajamas, and then suddenly I was here in these weird clothes that are way too big. If I could do magic, the first thing I'd do is fix that, that's for sure.

[arrogantalloy]

Lots of people back home have butlers, but none of them are like Jarvis.

[Tony almost laughs at the struggle]

Same with me. Except Bruce shrunk down his friends clothes for me. What you need is a Bruce. We can't do magic till we're in school. It's a rule, a stupid rule.
