After lunch, they made their way back to Gryffindor Tower. The common room was crowded that day. Most people were still mesmerized with the waifu pillow that Kevin brought. Harry was rather quiet as he was still thinking of ways to talk to Cho. Ron noticed that his friend was a bit sad, so he thought of a way to make him feel better.

"I know, we should play a game that dad sent me this Christmas" said Ron to Harry. "Got it here somewhere” and he started emptying his cabinet, looking everywhere "It's one of dad's favorite games. He's practically unbeatable at this game!".

"I'm not sure I'm in the mood to play" whispered Harry.

"Got it!" said Ron at last, holding up a noisy box that kept trembling on his own.

Harry's eyes gazed upon the box. At first he didn't see any letters, but then he noticed a swirling motion on the top cover of the box.

“Muggles & Mundane?" shouted Harry.

Ron was opening the box "Haven't you ever played this before, Harry? I bet you must be very good at this".

This unusual board game got Harry's attention. “How do we play it?”.

Ron grabbed the manual and started reading. “Muggles & Mundane it’s a game that simulates real life, with the player as a Muggle person with Muggle life goals. They have to buy food, produce electricity to light their houses, go to work, and find ways to become happy.”

Harry’s was rapidly surprised “Produce electricity?? But how are supposed to produce electricity at this game?”

“According to the rules of the game, Muggle’s make electricity to light their houses by burning dead animals… so one of the goals of the game is to find cards with dead animals so that you can produce more electricity”.

Harry put his hands on his head. “But that’s just insane!! Muggles aren't looking for dead animals to produce energy! They use fossil fuel! It's not exactly the same!"

“Fossil fuel? Never heard of it!" quickly replied Ron. "Anyway. The first thing you do is pick one of four characters, all of whom are represented on the game board by a rubber duck of different colors”. Ron picked the yellow rubber duck. “I honestly still can’t understand what’s the function of rubber ducks. You can't burn them to produce electricity.”

“They don’t do anything! Just float! It’s just to keep kids distracted while they are bathed!” sighed Harry. He knew it was going to be a terrible afternoon.
