"I suddenly understand why everyone likes watching Quidditch matches."
Isabelle and Albert walked hand in hand along the path leading to the Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch. Thanks to Dolores Umbridge, Hogwarts Quidditch matches were no longer open to outsiders, but getting in to watch a match was no challenge for Albert.
"Because there aren't many entertainment activities in the wizarding world. Ordinary life is simply too boring," Albert said gently. "A boring life needs a few diversions."
"Yes, it's too boring." Isabelle had been staying in the Hogsmeade safe house lately, so she understood that all too well. Life was too dull. Although she had plenty to do, and the Hogsmeade safe house was larger than expected, its monotonous routine left the young girl feeling bored and listless.
Young people especially preferred more exciting lives.
"Muggles are better at enjoying life. With so few wizards, it's difficult to build a complete entertainment industry," Albert said softly. "It's a pity the timing is wrong. Otherwise, we could travel around the world and enjoy the sights and food everywhere."
"That kind of life would grow tiresome after a while."
Isabelle was not a Gryffindor student. She might have been interested in excitement too, but she preferred a peaceful life.
The quiet life in Hogsmeade was quite nice. Being alone, however, made her feel lonely. Humans were social creatures, after all.
"You're right." Albert did not mind. "We can come back once we get tired of it, then go out again whenever we feel like it!"
"You're right."
The two entered the Quidditch Pitch side by side. The match between the Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team had already begun, and Lee Jordan was shouting commentary at the top of his lungs from the announcer's box.
"...Listen to that! Someone's singing something!"
