Batitus would indeed up fascinated with learning the history of over two-thousand years which had passed since his time, as well as the military development which had accompanied its passage. Batiatus was yet to realize that his world was now one which could be destroyed with nothing more than pressing a few buttons in the right order- until he figured this out, he was liable to continue underestimating most of the modern world.
"I expect that this person will be easily dealt with- most people are," Batiatus told the boy encouragingly. It was very difficult to tell if the boy was speaking of a game, or of some actual threatening individual. But, there appeared to be plenty of adults at Hogwarts, who surely could manage the problem, if it was a real one. In his experience, flesh was only as strong as the will behind it, and, most of those could be broken, manipulated, or misdirected quite effectively. Occasionally, such efforts went wrong- as they had with Spartacus- but most of the time, they were successful. "Everyone has a weak point point. Seek it, and, you are likely to find triumph. But seek it with care."
