Marc was definitely not the right person to ask about whether rules and everyone knowing what they were supposed to do was a good thing, and he looked briefly up at Sol in mild alarm. He didn't want to lie. "Not everyone will come from homes where they had to do lessons and homework and obey rules," he said, carefully. "So they might not aways understand what they're supposed to do." Marc certainly hadn't understood why he had to go to bed at a certain time, or why he was supposed to care about how many points Ravenclaw had been given. There would also be people would understood the rules and deliberately disobeyed them, Marc didn't really know how to prepare someone for that. "Sleeping in a tower is very exciting," Marc offered, not wanting to overwhelm Nico with things that might not be positive, that wasn't his place. "And once you get to know people, it's a lot like having a sleepover."
Sol's answer received a nod of understanding. Marc had guessed as much, but he had even less experience being a parent whose kid was going to Hogwarts than he did being an obedient kid who was going for the first time. "You'll be fine," he encouraged, since that seemed likely. Hundreds of parents were fine every year, after all, no matter how weird it might initially feel. "And it'll give you more time to work on the book, I guess?"
Despite his profession, Marc had never been particularly good at words, so Sol's description somewhat went over his head. "I'll have to read it, when you publish," he decided. That would be by far the easiest way of seeing for himself how a comedic romance different from a romantic comedy. "Are there a lot of comedic romances?"
