I swear I was going to do this earlier I just got distracted by the trailer
[His smile says that he was just teasing but he really doesn't know what Jack's talking about, even as he flushes at the idea of being the other boy's personal god. He lowers his head when Jack buries his face in his neck again, wrapping his arms around the other boy and resting his chin on Jack's head again. When Jack kisses his neck, his shoulders twinge, a small snort coming from his mouth. He's only a little bit ticklish there.
Hiccup hums, chuckling.]
You? Didn't want classes to end? You, the guy I had to tutor to get him to pass his exams? [He tilts his head back and raises an eyebrow at his...boyfriend? Is that what they were? Hiccup puts his head back where it was.] But...I get it. [He closes his eyes.] Back home I'm just Hiccup the Useless, but here...here I can win Quidditch matches, get top scores...be with friends my dad wouldn't approve of.
[Be himself.]
Pffft, I'm not timing you, dear. AND THAT TRAILER MESSES WITH YOUR BRAIN
Hiccup's comment makes him laugh, and he does so against his neck too. He's liking it there, maybe he should stay.]
Hey now, don't hate on the tutoring sessions. They got us together. Maybe that was my plan all along, ever thought of that? I'm cunning like that. [Bullshit, all of it, but he can't resist the opportunity to joke around more. He nods a couple of times and speaks softly.] You do. You always get it. You're the only one that gets it. Gosh... this is why I like you so much.
[He pulls his head back, eyes closed, and goes for a -guess what- yup, another kiss. This is addictive, alright, don't judge him. It's a slow one, he wants to savor it, to record it in his mind. One of his hands ends up on Hiccup's cheek as if trying to hold him there to confirm he's real.
Damn. They're a couple now.
His eyes open after pulling back, watching Hiccup with adoration, lips still lingering near the other boy's, forming a big, happy grin. When he realizes how cheesy he's being, his eyebrows go up and he blushes a bit, turning his head to the side to clear his throat. Time to throw a stupid joke so he cover the awkwardness. (Though it'd probably help more if he just took his hand away from Hiccup's braid after it wandered there during the kiss).]
Just friends? Rumor has it you got one handsome and funny boyfriend recently.
ahahaha IKR?
They're a couple. He can scarcely believe it.
The blush on Jack's cheeks makes a smile curl on Hiccup's lips, leaning down to press his lips to the other boy's cheek with a laugh as he reached up to pull Jack's hand away from his braid.]
Ah well, you know me. I don't like to make a fuss out of rumors.
[He felt like adding more but he just wraps his arms around Jack and holds him closer. They're together and he's going to muggle London for the summer. He's going to get to see all that technology up close and personal and share the experience with one of the most important people in his life.
It couldn't get any better than this.]
omg didn't notice until someone pointed out, Astrid is holding his braid too hnngh
[Also laughing and returning the hold, he kisses Hiccup's cheek too. And that's how they spend they rest of the day, sharing cute kisses and cuddly hugs - at one point they even remember to actually eat and finish their drinks. It's difficult to let go when the time comes, but the broom ride out is way less awkward. Even after they have already passed through the H, Jack keeps himself pressed against Hiccup.
They need to go flying together more often.
Only a couple of days are left of the school year, and half of them are busy with exams, but Jack takes any chance he can to catch Hiccup in the middle of the hallway, drag him to an empty classroom and share at least one kiss or two. He's still not sure how the school will take them being together yet, and it's still a new thing for them anyway, so it's better to leave it for next year and finish this one in peace.
What is also rather peaceful is the trip in the Hogwarts Express. Jack usually spends it bothering everyone - he feels annoyed for having to leave Hogwarts and bored for having nothing to do in a fucking train. But not this time. Taking advantage of how people usually leave them alone, they get a compartment only for themselves, sharing candy and their first make-out session.
That's another thing they need to do more often.
Just like he said in his rambling, Jack promises he'll pick Hiccup up in Diagon Alley, using Gringotts as a meeting point. Hiccup may want to get some money exchanged to spend in London. The date, the day Jack's parents leave for their own vacation: one week after school ends. The days he has to spend waiting are hell, even worse than usual. Jack has never been a patient kind of guy, and the heat can get him rather cranky too sometimes. Fucking summer.
When the day finally comes, Jack arrives really early, not being able to stay alone at home any longer, and taking the opportunity to take a look around the shops. Surprisingly, he's wearing muggle clothes. He likes dressing as a wizard, but there's no way he's wearing robes in summer - besides, they're leaving for the muggle city soon, so there's no point in the end. Sandals, bermuda shorts, a white tanktop and a sleeveless blue shirt, his look screams "I hate the heat" all over. And not being bothered by the wizards and witches' glances, he left his headphones around his neck too, knowing Hiccup will like them.
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes takes a good amount of his money like always, and Jack ends up so distracted by trying out some of the new merch on some random grumpy wizards, that the idiot that arrived early shows up late to their meeting... just like the day they met, the irony.]
Sooooorrry~ [This is Jack wearing his best innocent face, don't be mad a him?]
she's also making the second one that he wears for the rest of the movie :3
After all, Gobber knew how much flying meant to him, he wouldn't be one to stop him. He just needed to get out of Berk before his dad came home and went on the warpath. It wasn't like he lied, he did go to one but he wouldn't know how he went until he'd get an answer back by owl. After that, he just stayed in the Leaky Cauldron. In all honesty he can't wait for the week to be over so he can be around Jack again.
When the day comes, Hiccup has his stuff packed, his broom resting on top of his pack in plain wrapping so it doesn't look too suspicious. He doesn't know what muggles do with brooms but he knows that it sure as hell isn't flying. He already exchanged some of his gold for muggle money at Gringotts, hopefully enough but if not they can just go back if he needs to. The Ravenclaw boy is sitting on the steps when Jack arrives, dressed in a haphazard mesh of muggle and wizard clothing. The top Jack got for him ages ago is far too small, considering he just had another growth spurt, so he had Madam Malkin fix up one of his old shirts, since he can't exactly use magic outside of school.
Honestly, he's not surprised when Jack shows up late, instead raises an eyebrow up at his boyfriend (it still feels so weird to say that) from where he's sitting on the steps to Gringotts, arms draped over his knees and bag resting next to him.]
I was beginning to think I'd been stood up.
[His tone of voice is teasing, which should ease Jack's worries.]
gooood I can't even- so much dorkiness in a few seconds
I considered doing just that, but then I remember how much I suffered the last week and decided I'm gonna keep you after all. ...hi, Hic. [Those two last words sounded way like a lovefool idiot, but can you blame him? He's really happy to see Hiccup. After looking around to check people don't have their attention on them, he drops a quick kiss on his boyfriend's lips, grinning widely when he leans back.]
Ready to go? Dunno if you wanna go straight to my house or visit the city first. How much are you carryi-? [He turns to check Hiccup's luggage and arches his eyebrows in surprise when he sees what else he brought.] Is that you broom? What for?
ikr? they're so comfortable around each other
[He can't help but smile when Jack starts rambling before he stops himself. Typical. He shakes his head a little and chuckles before Jack kisses him, leaning up a little into it before pulling away, glancing out the corner of his eyes. Wizards and witches walked past them, not even giving them a second glance before he looked back at this boyfriend, giving a small shrug at the question and standing.]
I figured I needed a cover story so I said on a note to Gobber that I was going to a couple of Quidditch tryouts. Dad wasn't home. [Hiccup inclined his head.] I thought I'd take myself up on it and actually do it. Cork, Lancashire, Yorkshire. Stonewall. Nordic National. All of them were looking for Seekers so I decided to give it a go.
[He was already ahead of his classes by a year, it wasn't like he was losing anything by trying. Hiccup couldn't help but notice he'd grown an extra couple of inches over Jack, and he leaned down to press a quick kiss to his forehead before holding up his pack.]
Undetectable Extension Charm. Ah, speaking of which, what should I do with my broom? I wasn't sure what muggles did with brooms.
even 4chan is saying they totally did it, this isn't a fangirl thing! haha
What also takes him by surprise is what Hiccup have been doing the last week. Jack laughs, excited by the news, and grabs Hiccup's shoulders, giving him a slight shake.]
You what? Hiccup, that's awesome! How did it go? You totally showed them how it's done, didn't you? Oh man, I wish I had gone with you! Why didn't you tell me, it's not like they care where I go...
[His parents would've been happy to have him less time around, that's for sure. His little rambling gets interrupted when Hiccup kisses his forehead (taller and bigger but still an adorable dork, yup). His smile only grows bigger, and after another quick look around, he grabs Hiccup's hand and starts dragging him to the magic wall that would take them to muggle London.]
Yeah, yeah, you aren't the only one, smartass. [His free hand pats the fanny pack on his waist. Having watched Mary Poppins hundreds of times, this was one of the first spells he looked for when he arrived to Hogwarts. To difficult for someone new at magic, he asked an older student to do it for him in exchange of pranking his love rival. He honestly adores it, it allows him to stay sneaky and carry lots of stuff around for his pranks.
And talking about funny things, Hiccup's question makes him laugh like crazy.] I thiiiiiink it'd be better if you use that charm and put it in your bag. Unless you do wanna watch a muggle sweep the floor with it.
lmfao
It was kind of last minute. Besides, I didn't know how much you'd like sitting around watching me show off. [The first question makes him reach up to scratch the back of his neck.] They'll let me know by owl in a few days. Quidditch season's almost over so it's not like they're urgent.
[The Quidditch Cup would be happening in a few weeks...hmm. Hiccup raised an eyebrow to himself before he looked down to Jack's fanny pack when he patted it before he allows Jack to drag him along. His eyebrows shot up to his hairline.]
Sweeping? That's what spells are for!
no subject
[They reach the back wall of the Leaky Cauldron and Jack takes his wand out of his pocket while laughing at Hiccup's comment. They haven't reached the street and he's already reacting like that? This is going to be one interesting and fun summer.]
You're right, those dumb muggles! How dare they not to use those handy spells to make life easier? Oh wait. [Still chuckling to himself, he counts the right amount of bricks and pokes The One with his wand, making the wall open.] Are you guys even taught about this?
no subject
[The fact that someone felt pride in him made his stomach swell, flip flopping a little. There wasn't any reason for any of it, but for some reason Jack always made his stomach do that. He didn't know why it hadn't stopped when they became boyfriends, but it just seemed to increase. He nudged him back, fingers tightening in a squeeze. He lets Jack lead him to the Leaky Cauldron, raising an eyebrow when he started laughing at him.]
I took muggle studies for a year when I passed Arithmancy in year four. Nothing was mentioned about sweeping with brooms.
[He inclines his head.]
Then again, the muggle studies books were written by pureblood wizards who I highly doubt actually knew anything about what they were talking of.
no 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.]
no subject
[He gives a small shrug. He'd actually stood up and quit muggle studies because he didn't believe the books nor the teacher knew what they were actually talking about. He has to duck his head a little with Jack dragging him through the hole in the wall, his tone of voice a little teasing in itself.
He doesn't really care about who sees them walking through the Leaky Cauldron, so he tugs Jack as close as possible until he's practically leaning on top of him. Who knew that a few months ago he'd been skittish about even the idea of physical contact? There wasn't any doubt in his mind now. When they reach the street, Hiccup has to brush hair out of his eyes when a car drives past, his eyes going wide.]
That was a...
[There's no denying the pure delight on Hiccup's face at actually seeing a car. He's already missing Jack's closeness when he pulls away from him, unable to stop the smile and the shake of his head before he hears something, directing his attention to Jack trying to fish his phone out of his pocket before he reaches his hands towards the headphones, fingers twitching.]
May I?
wasted too much time finding a good song that fits them AND I'M STILL NOT COMPLETELY PLEASED orz
Feeling Hiccup keeping so close to him makes Jack feel braver, as if they could do anything right now without consequences. But what really makes damn happy and proud of having decided to do this is that look of pure delight on Hiccup's face. It makes his heart skip a beat, and Jack find himself feeling damn lucky of being able to see such a beautiful thing. To cause it, too. This is going to be a damn good summer.]
A car, yes. Dunno if you noticed, but they kinda are a thing in the streets. [It's said with a chuckle, which becomes full laughing when he sees Hiccup's hands reaching for his headphones. He gives a step back not to let him grab them, but the grin on his face shows he's teasing.]
And let you blow your ears off to the sound of electric guitars? I don't think so. [He winks and pauses the music, then takes some steps forward to stand face to face with Hiccup again, and puts the headphones on his boyfriend's head and ears himself.
First things first, he lowers the volume a little. Jokes aside, he really isn't sure how he'll take having music suddenly play directly to his ears, so better play it safe. It takes him a moment to choose a song - since they're a couple now, he's allowed to get all stupid and corny, right? Right. He decides to go with the Stones, may as well introduce him to English muggle music with the classics.
The "play" button is pressed and a song starts playing, a catching tune that may give Hiccup what a electric guitar is in the first place. Jack keeps his eyes locked on his boyfriend's face, eager to see his reaction to the magic of portable music... and to see if he gets the lyrics.]
/pets
He gives a small pout when Jack takes a step back, lowering his hands from where they were outstretched before he blinks.]
Muggle music can do that?
[Okay so he doesn't really believe that will happen, but this is his first time in the muggle world. Anything could happen. He has to wonder for a second as he watches Jack put the headphones on his ears how the fathers of half-blooded children dealt with the transition, reaching up to touch the headphones curiously.
When the music starts, he's startled, jerking back like he's been shot before his brow furrows together, and then his eyes flick from side to side curiously, as though trying to see out the corner at the headphones covering his ears. It's almost like what would happen if Big Foot stumbled across a muggle music player, only without the dancing.
It takes him a few lines to realize the meaning of the lyrics and he chuckles with a small roll of his eyes, reaching to pull Jack towards him by the hips and pressing a kiss to his forehead.]
You're as corny as Celestina Warbeck, you know that right?
/wags tail/ also that gif is killing me and imagining Hiccup doing the dancing cracks me up
The question makes him laugh, of course, but he doesn't bother to answer. He wants to keep the suspense, the magic, even if this isn't magical at all - Hiccup makes it seems so. His reactions allow Jack to pretend the muggle world is one hell of a place after all. It's a refreshing feeling after spending years wishing to get away from it. (Also, it reminds him of the nagging parents would do, how listening to music so loud would damage your ears. Since Hiccup didn't have to live through that, he may as well get a bit of that experience too.)
Jack has to bite his lips not to start laughing his ass off. Hiccup is being really funny, and also really, really cute. He doesn't want to make him feel bad with his laughter, but it's really hard not be amused, especially when he glances to his sides to see what the headphones are "doing".
The eyeroll makes him worry for a second (was it too much?), but the kiss on his forehead replaces that worry with a big smile. He doesn't know who the hell Celestina is, but he can get an idea by context.]
Did you just call the Stones corny? There's a group of badass rockers somewhere waiting to kick your ass. Tell you what, you want corny, I'll give you corny. [He looks down at the phone in his hand to choose another song. He knows this is stupid as hell, but he can't help it now, he's on a roll. The music puts in words what he feels better than his awkward rambling, and he likes to think this will give Hiccup's ego the stroke it needs.
He nods his head to the rhythm, mouthing the lyrics, and when he looks up again he seems a bit sheepish.] ...but do you like it anyway?
/cackles/ yes good
He notices Jack biting his lip and can't help smiling at how cute it looks on his boyfriend, even though he knows he's probably laughing at him. Hiccup rolls his eyes again, then raises an eyebrow as Jack changes the music on him. He didn't really mean it in a bad way of corny, but he guesses Jack must've taken it that way, making a mental note to apologize later. The new song makes him understand what Jack is trying to say, and he can't help the smile that crosses his face when Jack nods his head and mouths the lyrics.
He chuckles, wrapping his arms around Jack's shoulders and burying his face in the other boy's hair, kissing the top of his head and ignoring any looks he gets from the muggles walking past them.]
I love it, silly.
also quick reminder that One Direction is also English and Jack is a troll, cough
Looks, what looks? To hell with looks. His boyfriend is hugging him (in public!) and kissing him, that's all that matters to Jack. Nobody will recognize them around here, and later it won't make a difference, because everyone in Burgess already looks down on Jack anyway. Taking Hiccup to his hometown will at least give that looks a worthy reason.
And what kind of teenagers would they be if they didn't pull dumb stuff in public anyway?
He happily returns the hug, looking up to give a kiss of his own, this time on Hiccup's cheek. The smile that he finds there only makes his stomach do more of those freaky flips. I'm so totally doomed. And I love it.]
Mmh, good. I'll let The Beatles do the rest later then. Now, shall we keep going?
[He's a bit reluctant to let go, but he wants to show Hiccup more, to get more of those delighted faces and sparkling eyes, and maybe find a more private place where they can be all the corny they want and more. He stops the music so they can have some clear conversations on the way, and grabs the headphones to start lowering them - but he doesn't take them off. He puts them around Hiccup's neck like he was wearing them before, and damn, they look good on him. He takes Hiccup's hand on his own to resume the guiding, planning to take them to a main avenue that has more to see and do. And his cell phone? Well, that gets shoved into Hiccup's free hand. Jack doesn't mind trusting his boyfriend with it. He knows there's a high chance of it never coming back in one piece, but it doesn't matter if it makes Hiccup happy in the process.]
That thing, with the music? It also lets people that are far away from each other communicate, kinda like wizards do with the fire and the faces appearing on it. I kept thinking about it the last week, you know, and well... [He runs his free hand through his hair, the other one squeezing Hiccup's fingers.] ...dunno. You live in a actual magic village, what are the chances of making it work?
LMFAO
[There's your stupid question, Jack. Hiccup blinks before he lets Jack take the headphones off him, a little surprised when his boyfriend leaves them on, just around his neck like Jack had them before. They feel a little heavy but no more heavier than Toothless and he reaches up to cup his hands around the parts that go over his ears before the device gets shoved into his hand.
He turns the device over in his hand, like a person examining something they're about to eat, only Hiccup knows that it can't be eaten. His earlier experiments with a music player at Hogwarts made sure he knew that. At Jack's question, he looks up from where he's pushing the pin at the end of the headphone cord back in, tilting his head with a small shrug and returning the squeeze.]
Berk doesn't have the same charms protecting it as Hogwarts does...I'm not sure. There's always been the theory that magic messes with technology because of certain molecules surrounding the technology and in the magic itself... [He stops himself when he realizes he's talking about things Jack possibly won't understand.] Why?
Oh shit I forgot about Toothless here. Did he bring him?
[It's hard to keep his eyes on the road when Hiccup is being his usual cute, curious self and playing with the phone like that, but Jack does his best, even stopping at the red lights. Usually he would just run across the street and laugh at the insult thrown his way, but since he's showing Hiccup how the muggle world works, may as well show him the whole deal.
He chuckles a bit more when Hiccup starts one of his nerdy rants, but Jack doesn't mind it. And that says a lot about how smitten he is with his boyfriend. Jack, listening to theory? Magical or not, it's still theory, and that's supposed to make him sleep, not laugh.]
Well, I got some money saved and I thought... [He shrugs.] I could get you one? So we could use them together? They're faster than owls... I use a lot of the applications but not much the phone itself, unless it's for something like food delivery. Because, you know. I don't have anyone to communicate with.
[He offers a small smile. Hiccup understands what is like to spend the summers suffering at home. He should understand how much it would mean to have his boyfriend at a few keys away.]
nah he left him with Fishlegs :3
He does notice when Jack pays attention to his rambling, but it's the offer that makes him look at his boyfriend with a bit of a bewildered look on his face. He does understand the need to get away from home. That's why Hogwarts is such a refuge for the two of them - they had that conversation just before the train home.]
Well...you'd have to teach me how to use it. I'm not entirely sure how much I'd get. [He weighed Jack's phone in his hand, looking down at the tiny thing.] For something this small to accomplish everything an owl can do and more...muggles truly are remarkable inventors.
ngl Jack is not gonna miss him
[He may be a little too excited about this. It's not only about fighting the loneliness that is their summers - though that IS a big deal too. It's also having Hiccup accepting the idea, not considering it stupid. When Jack started Hogwarts, he was fascinated by everything, and he still is, to be fair. But the more time that passes, the more he misses some commodities the muggles have. Like portable music.
His housemates would only laugh at him when he mentioned it. Why would you want machines if you have magic? But not Hiccup. No, Hiccup doesn't laugh at him, he laughs with him, and what wonderful laughter that is. Always enough to make him smile and forget anything else.]
"What an owl can do and more" doesn't start to describe it. You can use it to play games, to check the weather, to write letters, to read books, to take pictures- [He stops himself when he notices a particular business in the opposite corner of the street. Wow, they're already here? Hiccup really makes him lose sense of time. Jack grins and starts dragging his boyfriend faster, still explaining on the way.]
Pictures, photos. I told you about those, right? Muggle pics don't move. [He points at a random sign on a store with his free hand as an example.] But they have something else. Recording the whole deal... video.
[All of the sudden he stops on his tracks, turns to grab Hiccup by his shoulders and turns him to make him stand in front of a huge electronics store. There are many really big screens on the display windows, all of them showing different things. Movies, a concert, the news or a talk show, everything in high quality and the brightest colors.
Jack says no more and lets go of Hiccup, moving from his back to his side, waiting to see his reaction.]
lmao Jack you're gonna have to share Hiccup eventually
He blinks when Jack starts describing all the things a "phone" can do, the expression on his face one of complete bewilderment. They can write letters and read books? Simply amazing. Amazing. He has no doubt that muggles have produced so much more, and looks up when Jack points to the sign on the store before he's grabbed by the shoulders and turned.
The expression on Hiccup's face becomes something akin to a potoo bird, his eyes going wide before they settle, turning his head this way and that to see the different things flashing on the screens. Moving like wizard pictures but it's so...different. The bright colours are nearly blinding, but Hiccup can't help but take a step towards the window, pressing his hand against the glass and peering at the screens, tilting his head like a cat before he turns his attention back to Jack, opening his mouth to speak before the words die on his lips to start with.]
This is amazing.
excuse you that's not what he signed up for
Nodding, he points at the speakers on a corner, a sign selling the best in sound systems.]
We can't hear it from here, but they can "speak" too. Wizard have radios, right? Same thing. You watch and listen to the people on the screen.
[His phone can record too, of course, and Jack would love to take pics of Hiccup's amazed faces, but he doesn't have the heart to take it back from his boyfriend's fingers. Maybe later. Now, he takes Hiccup's hand again and drags him some steps back, less hurried this time. It seems the electronic store is part of a much bigger building, one that has many other shops and transparent doors that open by their own when the muggles get near.]
There is more. Lots of more. This is what they call a shopping mall - think of Diagon Alley but inside a building. [He's pointing at the moving doors in front of them as he speaks, using the thumb of his free hand, because no way he wants to let go of Hiccup again. A big grin comes along with that gesture.] I asked you before if you wanna go to my house or do some tourism first, but something tells me I already know the answer.
[He doesn't say more after that, and he doesn't move either. Let's see if he can get Hiccup excited enough to do the dragging himself. Would he run inside like a little kid maybe? Jack can't wait.]
sure it is
[It's not very often Hiccup swears, but when he does he's impressed. Very impressed. If he wasn't already infatuated with muggle technology, then he has no doubt this would have been the turning point. Simply fascinating and amazing don't describe the genius he's bearing witness to here, and all with the wonder of a child on his face.
He lets Jack pull him back and looks up at the building, now noticing the other stories. How many are there? Two? Three? He can't imagine it being anything like Diagon Alley, let alone looking like it could fit the whole street and Knockturn Alley inside. He turns his attention back to Jack, eyes wide.]
Can we really go in?
