Pansy walked into the Slytherin Common Room after a long day in classes. She still remembered the day Dumbledore had forced everyone to get a muggle device called a mobile phone. Draco, Blaise and herself had taken quite a few days to perfect using it.

It's the closest those filthy muggles can get to magic. She thought to herself sneering as she walked towards her dormitory. She wanted to do nothing more than just crash in her bed and go to sleep. But alas, she was hungry and had to be present in the Great Hall.

She dumped her bag under her bed, smoothed her robes and walked out of her room. She was lucky enough to not get a room mate.

"Hello there Pansy." A sickly sweet voice greeted. Turning around, she noticed Astoria Greengrass, a fellow pureblood Slytherin. "Hello Astoria. Heading to dinner I suppose." She asked in an equally sweet voice."

"Did you hear that Dumbledore is making muggle technology compulsory in Hogwarts?" Astoria asked.

"Of course I do. As if letting those filthy muggle-borns in wasn't enough." Pansy said.

Dinner drew to an end and Pansy found herself in her dormitory looking at a box on her bed. She was walking around it with narrowed eyes. She was sure it wasn't there when she had stepped out for dinner.

A series of knocks on her door startled her and she went to check it out. She opened the door to see Draco and Blaise waiting impatiently.

"We knocked five times Pansy! Five. Times! What were you even doing?!" Draco huffed.

"Yes whatever. I was looking at that box which suspiciously appeared on my bed." She gestured towards the box lying on her bed. "And what in Merlin's name are those?" She questioned pointing at a strange looking device on Draco and Blaise's heads.

"These are headphones Pansy. They're like earmuffs except these allow you to listen to music from your phone." Blaise explained.

"What rubbish is this?! Outrageous!" Pansy fumed. As if getting phones wasn't enough. Now there were all sorts of muggle devices all around Hogwarts.

"Calm down Pansy. We don't like it as much as you." Draco spoke up, resting his hand on her arm significantly calming her down. Pansy's eyes softened at her best friend's words.

"Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous." She muttered. "Well, now what do you think is that?" She asked pointing towards the box nestled in her covers.

"You probably got headphones too. Go open it." Blaise said. Pansy looked at Draco who merely shrugged.

Pansy sighed and carefully lifted the box. Within a few minutes, true to her friends' words, there was a strange earmuff like muggle device resting in her hands. They called it headphones. She didn't understand the need for those.

"Soo, now what?" She asked turning towards her friends. Draco sighed and guided her in wearing the headphones and connecting them to her phone.

"You do know how to play music right?" Blaise questioned. Pansy scoffed.

"Of course I do!" She proceeded to click on a song she found tolerable and gasped in surprise as the song started playing right outside her ears.

"Do... Do you hear that?" She asked bewildered.

"Nope, that's because it's playing in those." Blaise said gesturing toward the headphones. Bloody Hell were the only words that left her mouth.
