Tyler was sitting on the bench that over looked the downtrodden playground. It seemed ancient in the light, which was very little. The street lights in Hogsmeade had turned on hours ago. Students staying for the Holiday break were told to return, Tyler looked at his iPhone, ~4 hours ago.~ He sighed. He guessed he could stay in the Hogs Head for the night. Tyler was known for not showing up in the school on days out to Hogsmeade. He felt attached to the quaint village. It simply wasn't effected by "iTechnology", and that's what amazed him. Tyler was most likely the most technologically advanced in the entire area.
He pulled out his iBook from his messenger bag to see if he could find a book on the old playground. The familiar British voice said, "Chose a book or enter password." The bright light it emitted was nearly blinding but Tyler's eye's quickly adjusted .
"Enter Password." Tyler said with clear diction. Technology may be advanced, but you still had to speak to it like a robot.
The iBook's holographic display change into a keyboard and Tyler imputed his password. After hitting enter the holographic display changed into a list of magical books. "Search Hogsmeade." Tyler said in a rather robotic voice. He had no idea why he wanted information on the playground. There was nothing better to do at such a late hour.
The list of books on Hogsmeade showed up, they were organized by source. Tyler scrolled through the "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" section. There were a good 100 books or so on the small village that Hogwarts overlooked. Finally he came upon a book called, 'L'histoire du village de Hogsmeade.'
"Why does it have to be in french?" Tyler said in a half sigh. "Translate and read translation of L'histoire du village de Hogsmeade." The iBook hologram transformed again it now looked like a complete book. Tyler held his hands out and flipped to the first page.
Hogsmeade is a village known to many as the "Hogwarts Village." At the station the students get on/off the train from Kings Cross Station. It is unknown if the tracks go anywhere else...
"This might take a while." Tyler said as he flipped to the Table of Contents.

Estrella Malfoy had decided to go flying during her Hogsmeade visit. Rose “Nymphy” Weasley had gone with her but now that the sun had set Nymphy had decided that she’d had her fun and had gone back to the school.
Thanks to the handy-dandy Marauders’ Map that most of the Weasley children shared Estrella knew several different ways to sneak back into the castle. At the moment she was flying over the village of Hogsmeade by night. As she glided over the ancient playground on the outskirts of the village a strange fluorescent glow caught her eye. Guiding her broom down, she landed a few feet from a bench where a boy who looked about to be her age sat. A glowing...thing was sitting on his lap.
Creeping close Estrella eyed the contraption. It was so strange. As she got closer Estrella expected the...whatever it was to spark or bang or make some kind of noise that would be an inclination of what kind of spell it was.
Trying not to startle the boy she said, “Um, hello. If you don’t mind me asking, what is that?” [/font][/center]

After about 3 minutes of looking through he found a small section entitled, "Playground." Tyler didn't know if it contained the information he wanted, but it was worth a try. He poked book at the title "Playground" and the iBook instantly turned to the correct page, the small blue light it emitted never faltering. He started to read;
The playground of Hogsmeade village was once a perfect place for young Hogwarts students. Before the "year" set up was introduced there were younger kids, around 5 to 8 year olds learning magic at Hogwarts. The playgro-
"Um, hello. If you don’t mind me asking, what is that?" said a voice behind him. Tyler jumped a little in his seat but quickly recovered and turned around casually.
"No, of course I don't. It's an iBook. Most wizards don't use muggle technology, so you most likely don't know what it does, eh?" Tyler said smiling. He knew that the Wizarding world liked their wands, and magic. Tyler was a healthy mixture of both though.
Tyler looked the girl over. She looked his age, and from the blue light he could tell that she was in Slytherin. ~Odd for a Slytherin to be out here talking to a Hufflepuff.~ Tyler thought to himself. He looked at her face. She seemed familiar. Tyler then looked at her broom. It was a rather new Firebolt 500. He had seen them, expensive, however one of the fastest racing/luxury broom on the market. They were a real collectors item, with a magic cup holder.
"Come, sit. The bench isn't that cold." Tyler said politely. She hadn't hurt him...yet.
((OCC://Sorry I described your broom....I needed something fill space.))

OOC: I guess Estrella could have two brooms. Her normal one being a Firebolt 500 and an old Nimbus 3002
