Harry shrugged slightly, "I have been trying to get out and explore the area, but... I just haven't been able to recently." Ever since finding out he was written about in a series of books, it was hard for Harry to focus on much else. He had been able to get to work and everything, but when he found himself with free time...
"Not everyone is able to do magic, from where I am from," Harry started. "There are wizards and witches, but then there are also Muggles. Muggles are what we -- wizards and witches -- call non-magical people. The wizarding community isn't too keen on letting Muggles know about magic. Of course, there is the occasional exception... my aunt and uncle and cousin, who I lived with while not at school, were Muggles. But they knew of magic, merely because I was able to do it. They knew what the school I was going to was for, that it was to teach me the proper use of magic. But the use of magic in front of Muggles is forbidden." He stopped talking for a moment, and allowed the Snitch to fly out of his hand once more. "The only reason I feel comfortable showing you magic is because I believe the Ministry of Magic has no power here."
