“Where is the best place for coffee?” The brunette muttered, talking aloud to anyone around her. “I’ve been in the library so much I’m on a first name basis with the homeless guy that sleeps next to the microfiche.”

       ❛  how come american people are so OBSESSED with coffee??   ❜  the wizard rolled his eyes playfully, shrugging.  ❛ i’m not sure, but you should try having tea instead!  ❜

     staring down at the book in his hand, the male let out a shaky sigh, a low groan passing his lips soon after. ‘ i seriously need some sleep– ’ his words were meant to be thoughts, the lack of sleep was clearly making a mark in his day, as he gradually came to note that he had in fact blurted everything out loud. ‘ sorry– – ’ lips curving into a gentle smile, scott turned back down to his book, hoping he hadn’t disrupted anyone.

        harry almost chuckled at the other male’s words— he sounded exactly like HERMIONE GRANGER, his best friend who was a little too obsessed with studying.  ❛  i must agree with you. sleeping is important for concentration.  ❜  he smiled back at the stranger, head tilted to one side lightly.  ❛ oh, don’t apologize, sleep instead!  ❜

“ looks much like i get a chance to CELEBRATE my 22nd birthday this time around – - it’s so strange. i should be turning  57  today and yet i have to consider myself lucky to be even turning one year older than 21. ” the words just kept spilling from her lips, shaking her head a little to herself. “ sorry. you probably didn’t need to hear me rant about MY AGE, especially as woman usually complain about being TOO OLD instead of being too young. ”

        harry froze in place as he saw a woman who looked exactly like his mother. it took him a few seconds to realise that he’d stopped breathing and he couldn’t help but stare at her; his mom would be turning 57 in that same day, he was even planning on eating a birthday cake.  ❛  i-it’s okay, don’t worry. but... is your name lily?? ❜  the boy asked in a whisper, trying not to keep his hopes up.

NATHAN:

“Might wanna watch who you mess with.”

        ❛  oh, and why should i?? ❜

CREDENCE:

shaking his head softly, credence was unable to explain it. he didn’t know how, even if the need was there. to share his story and BE HEARD. to find someone that could help him. “ it’s just – - i was never TAUGHT HOW – how to use my magic. ” he whispered barely audible, keeping his head low. “ my name is credence. ”

        harry arched an eyebrow at the boy’s words; so he was a wizard, but no one taught him how to use his magic. that could be DANGEROUS for other people and even himself.  ❛  you never went to a wizarding school?? oh- oh well, i am not exactly a teacher and in fact i am not the best wizard out there, but maybe i could teach you a few things? ❜  he offered with a small smile, already expecting a negative answer from the other.  ❛  very nice to meet you, credence, you have a beautiful name. and it seems like you need a wand! if you’d like to get one, i recommend a  shop called OLLIVANDERS. it’s in england, but i could get us there quickly with magic. ❜

JAMES:

James couldn’t help but feel a little pang in his chest. Of course, considering the circumstances, Harry wouldn’t recognize him…but hadn’t anyone ever shown him a picture? Sirius, Remus? “I – well, this is going to sound absolutely mental, but – oh! Wait.” Reaching into his inner jacket pocket, James pulled out his wallet. “See, I have a photo – ” He paused as he realized he actually hadn’t said who he was yet. “I’m…I’m your dad. James.”

        harry quickly pinched himself to make sure it wasn’t a DREAM. he’d never seen that picture before, but the faces were already familiar to him; there was a toddler version of himself, his mother and his father— who happened to be standing in front of him at that moment.  ❛ d-dad... ❜  the boy felt a small tear rolling down his cheek as he lifted his hand to touch the man’s face softly. that was happening, somehow he got his father back.

TRIS:

“ Maybe. People do come and go room this place a lot.” She shrugged. Sometimes it was hard to keep up with the people around here. But she kept her eyes on him as she listen to him explain it. “ Alright. So I guess our only option is to play it were we flip the cards.”

    ❛ i guess so. well, if you ever see a redheaded boy named ron weasley or a short girl with brown hair named hermione granger around, please tell me. and if you see a blond boy named draco malfoy, run away. ❜  he nodded with a smile, taking the deck of cards on his pocket.  ❛ do you want me to go first, so you can learn?? ❜

MERLIN:

˚ ˖ :  *   ––––––––––    ❛    probably better than i am.   the only time i’ve been good is  …  if i cheat.    ❜           & he was a MAGNIFICENT cheater.   he grins.   nearly fifteen thousand years of magic at his disposal that included everything from the latin based spells they used now to the old religion & he wasn’t above using it to win a few games.  it was a bad habit —– but he’d admit to it.   his gaze flicks after the introduction ,  for just a second ,  to the mess of hair hiding the boy’s forehead.   he’s kept a low profile over the years ,  not lived under a rock.   he knows who HARRY POTTER is.    the legend around the boy ,  however ,  leaves him more sad than anything.   merlin knows ,  better than anyone ,  how crippling a destiny upon one’s shoulders can be.  he sighs ,  then smiles.          ❛   ——  merlin.    ❜           upon introducing himself he holds out a hand.         ❛    n’ ,  before you ask ,  YES that’s my actual real name.  an’ i promise i won’t cheat.    ❜

    ❛  oh, my best friend ALWAYS cheats!! he doesn’t even try to hide it anymore, i think it’s because of his siblings— they make fun of him when he loses. ❜  the wizard shrugged, a soft smile seen on his lips. harry was convinced that he’d cheat just as often as ron does if he had a family like the weasleys. of course, they were a little   down   after fred’s death, so even making fun of ron became rare, but it used to be part of their daily routine.  ❛  really?? damn it, tha means i can’t say ‘merlin’s beard’ around you! i can’t already say ‘serious’ because of my godfather named SIRIUS, but... he’s dead. ❜  he sighed softly, shaking his head to stop thinking about that.  ❛  but... wait, you’re not the REAL MERLIN, are you?? i mean, he’s still alive... and i hope you don’t cheat, anyways! ❜

ALBUS:

“Dad?” was the first thing to slip out of Albus’ mouth, he didn’t mean it to. This man looked like his father but…. younger, so it obviously couldn’t be him…. right?

       ❛ no, it’s harry. ❜  the wizard arched an eyebrow, confused on why a boy near his age would call him ‘dad’; he couldn’t even take care of himself, let alone a teenager child. also, he was as far from love as humanly possible.  ❛ who is your dad?? i could help you find him, i guess... ❜

[ofpatronus-blog]

JAMES:

James’s heart skipped a beat. It was impossible, but this whole situation was impossible. He was dead, Lily was dead, their son was a defenseless little baby left all alone, and yet – they looked alike, and he had Lily’s eyes… “Harry? Harry Potter?”

       for what seemed like an eternity, harry felt like he couldn’t  b r e a t h e. he’d already seen pictures of his parents, and in a weird-almost-impossible way, the man standing in front of him looked exactly like his father. blinking quickly, the boy nodded, a soft pain on his chest. ❛ y-yes, and you are?? ❜

MABEL:

“A game? Really? I absolutely LOVE playing games! Wait… This isn’t anything like Homework The Game, is it?”

       ❛ oh, me too! no, that actually sounds bad— it’s a card game in which the cards explode while you play. ❜

[ofpatronus-blog]

CLARA:

“Er…Sorry? Exploding what exactly? That’s certainly a new one.”

       ❛ well, i believe it’s not really popular in america, then— it’s my first time here, so i’m not so sure. anyways, it’s a card game!! the cards explode while you play, though. ❜

[ofpatronus-blog]

EVEN:

“I have to admit, I’ve never heard of that one before. Alright. I’m in.”

       ❛ awesome!! but wait, before i tell you the rules, do you have a wand?? ❜

[ofpatronus-blog]

HUGO:

“While I’m all for a game of exploding snap…I’m a bit confused as to WHAT you’re doing here Uncle Harry and why you look so…well…Young. It’s pretty unnerving.”

       ❛ uncle harry?? i don’t think i am your uncle, or else i would’ve known about your existence! ❜ harry blinked in surprise, crossing his arms over his chest.  ❛ i am young, i haven’t even turned tweny yet. that’s not old... is it?? ❜

[ofpatronus-blog]

LILY LUNA:

“ …Dad? Is this some sort of practical joke?”

     ❛ ... huh?? i am not your dad, you’re probably not much younger than me! also, with my luck, i probably won’t be dating anyone for the next thirty years. i’m harry, do you need help finding your father?? ❜
