Chapter #12: More technology.

A week has passed since Harry introduced Daphne to the concept of videogames and she has been completely obsessed with Zelda, and he can’t blame her, after all, there’s a lot of things to do and with the freedom the game provides you it’s hard not to get completely immersed, she still haven’t progressed much on the story.

In fact, she prefers to collect materials, climb and find new places, but it’s alright because the game is designed to make people behave like that, the good thing is that at least she’s not obsessing over internet clout anymore, she still uses social media from time to time to make content but she tries to spend most of her free time playing.

He feels conflicted about it, but he’s sure she’s going to eventually reduce her playtime, it seems like the same thing happened to others, or at least that's what they got to know after they had a meeting with her sister and Hermione, of course their respective partners were with them too and surprisingly, one of the surprising things was that Hermione and Parkinson had agreed to forget about their grudge for a moment, and there hasn’t been any hostilities between them.

Today Harry has other plans for the blonde, right now they’re enjoying lunch, the time was getting close for him to show her what he’s been hiding from her since they woke up, but that would be after they finished eating and it doesn't take too long for that to happen, surprisingly after eating, she always offers herself to clean the dishes, however, this time before she starts playing he decides to tell her something.

“Daphne…I want you to know that I’m happy you’re getting more and more involved with the muggle technology, I’m glad you’re liking videogames so far,” he said with a smile, and she nodded happily.

She didn’t know why but him being happy about her felt right, maybe she was truly changing, and it was time to challenge all the views her parents had imposed on her about the muggle world.

“But today we’re going to do something that's going to be even more fun than what you're used to,” he declared, and she looked at him with a curious look.

She wanted to get onto her game already, however, she was also curious about what he was planning to show her, she wanted to know what could be more fun than exploring and collecting materials but in the end she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, after all, it’s not like she has any choice, the contract of the program demands full obedience from the participants.

“Okay, I’m listening…” She said with a curious look.

“Do you remember the package we received yesterday?” He asked with a soft smile.

“Yeah, it was big and looked a bit heavy,” she confessed as she caressed her chin.

“Well, I received something, but the thing had many pieces, luckily, I’ve finally assembled all the pieces, and now it's ready for you to see what it is, come on, let’s go to the spare room,” he encouraged her, and then he did something unexpected.

He decided to grab her hand, she was taken aback by his actions but then, she smiled and followed him, she liked feeling his hand on hers, it felt right and she didn’t want to let go but sadly she had to as they arrived to the spare room, and there she found something that looked like a small tv with a big box and some kind of typewriter.

“What is that, Harry?” She questioned him with a curious look.

“This dear Daphne, it’s a computer, and it’s the best thing one could have…Do you remember all the things you did with your phone and the video game console? Well, you can do all that on a computer and even more!” Soon, he turned on the computer, and the strange box started to glow just like the screen.

To say she was curious would be an understatement, luckily she didn’t have to wait too long to see what the fuss was all about, some logos appeared on the screen, and then they were finally greeted by the sight of a landscape, there were also some small things that Daphne had no idea what they were.

“Recycling bin, Microsoft Edge…What are those things, Harry?” Asked the blonde with a curious expression.

“This background is what is called a desktop Daphne, and there you can place programs to use while you're on the computer, programs are to computers what apps are to phones,” he explained in the best way he could.

Daphne quickly nodded and smiled, she completely understood what was going on here.

“All the things you delete, like pictures and audio files, go to the recycling bin, meanwhile, Microsoft Edge is the internet browser. You remember Chrome on your phone, right?” He asked with a calm expression.

Daphne nodded knowingly.

“Well, both have the same function, but the interfaces are different, look!” He explained, and then he showed her the mouse. “This is called a mouse, as you can see, every time I move this thing, the little arrow on the screen moves too!” Daphne heard, and she was able to see that he was right.

She couldn’t help but chuckle because of the name.

“Mouse…It’s a very clever and fitting name,” she said as she saw the small device as a real mouse with the wire as its tail.

Harry smirked, it seemed like she still had that naiveness and amazement a lot of muggles have lost because they’ve become too used to technology, he couldn’t help but find her so cute right now. He didn’t know why but his feelings towards the blonde had changed a lot.

Gone is the hostility between them, and now there is nothing but respect, yes, they have their differences, but they’re working on them, however, Harry feels a bit guilty because he’s starting to develop deeper feelings for the blonde, something that shouldn’t be possible because he wanted to keep things professional between them.

Also he was a bit unsure if Daphne would want to be more than friends with him, Harry knew there was lots of women who would love to be with him because of the fame but she wasn’t like that, she wanted a life of her own and she didn’t worship him like all those women do, which made her someone interesting in his book.

“Well, now that we know what a mouse is, I’m going to teach you how to use it,” he said with an excited tone, and she nodded as excitedly as him. “It has two buttons, left, right, and then, we have this thing called scroller, once we dig deeper on what a computer does, I’m going to show you what it does, but in a nutshell, it helps you move up and down on the browser and many other programs,” his words were calm and calculated.

Daphne nodded.

“You can open the programs by double-clicking the left button,” he showed her as he opened the recycling bin. “Now,” he got up from the seat. “It’s time for you to try,” he pointed at the seat he was previously using.

She felt a bit nervous but excited at the same time, she hesitated for a bit and then, she finally did it, she sat and took the mouse, she was surprised by how right it felt in her hand, she looked at Harry for a few moments, and then he nodded at her.

She nodded back him, and then she double-clicked on the browser, and now she was ready to explore the internet, but differently, this even seemed better than what she was used to on her phone, this was getting interesting.
