[That's alright, the squeezing gives Jack goosebumps, so they're even. No matter how lonely they were in the previous school years, it seems they'll still go through the standard round of teen reactions to love, which apparently includes being the hugest dork. He gladly squeezes back, of course, but his silly smile disappears to groan at the mention of that stupid subject.]
Alright, here is what you need to know about Muggle Studies: forget everything you learned in there. Wizards complain about the stupid misconceptions muggle fairytales have of them, but they aren't any better when it comes to muggles either.
[Jack thought, a few years back, that he could make some easy money by doing other people's Muggle Studies homework. It turns out his answers were "wrong". Go figure. Also: he's absolutely not surprised to hear Hiccup took Arithmancy too. Neeeerd.]
Anyway, I know you guys aren't taught much about muggles. I meant to ask if you're ever told about this. [He tilts his head, pointing at the hole of the wall he's dragging Hiccup through right now.] Or are secret passages for muggles not good enough for the pureblood?
[He's teasing, not really minding anyway, though sometimes wizards' negative reaction to anything muggle does irritate him a bit. Luckily Hiccup doesn't care about blood, so it won't be a problem for them.
Nobody pays attention to them while they walk through the Leaky Cauldron towards the exit, they're too used to see weird people coming and going. Jack and Hiccup, in fact, are probably of the most normal sights they get to see every day.
The street is... well, just that, a street. The regular traffic lights, the usual cars and buses, high buildings, people passing by with their faces buried in their phones. Jack doesn't think much of it, but this is supposed to be new for Hiccup, so he walks in front of his boyfriend and opens his arms.]
Taadaa! Welcome to-- [His Super Awesome Welcome Speech is suddenly interrupted when music starts playing from the headphones around his neck. Now they've left the magic area, electronics are working again.] --woops. Never turned that off, sorry.
[Give him a second while he finds his phone on his pocket so he can stop the music.]
