Harland nodded. He'd been bitten by one of those before, and that had really hurt. "We don't treat our owl badly," he said, looking at him and smiling, "I promise... I didn't take it to Hogwarts, my folks have him... I just use the owlery if I want to talk to them." He shrugged. "But we don't treat him badly." He promised, before frowning at the thought of a young Harrison out by himself, no friends or anything. "I would have played with you if I'd been there!"

Harland nodded and shrugged slightly. "I still wish we had a better relationship. I'm doing my best, but... She's just not making it easy... But it's fine! We'll fix it one day!" He smiled, nodding as he spoke. He was sure that one day they'd be fine again, but until then... "I don't know... There's a lot less to fear in the muggle world, but I can't imagine life without magic..." He really didn't know which one was better. "You're a nice guy, too! Then again, you're a Puff, it's to be expected." He teased.

Harland scoffed, shaking his head. "Nope. Maybe they think I'm a a shipwreck waiting to happen, eh?" He laughed, grinning. "See, told you my name was stupid!" He said, not realising that Harrison was just joking about the name.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" He chimed, kneeling over him and tickling him more, beaming at the laughter coming from the smaller boy. He quite liked this, it made him feel happy to be making someone laugh. Sure, it was tickling, but still!

“They’re small and sweet, though!”
He protested, smiling, “and I like chihuahuas!” He smiled back as Harley smiled back at him. “What’s he called?” He asked. He used school owls to send letters, and usually also fed them, but he often admired the pet owls, because some of them truly were beautiful creatures. “I trust you don’t treat your owl badly,” he smiled, “you don’t seem like an idiot who hurts animals, or is cruel to them.” He smiled, “thank you... I was happy, though. That’s what matters!”

“I guess the best is all you can do,” he nodded, “you have time...” He listened to Harley, nodding and smiling. He actually made the Muggle world sound kind of insteresting. “Is there less to fear?” He asked, nodding slowly. “I never knew.” He smiled again as Harley complimented him, but laughed. “Why would I stick to the expected traits of my house, anyway?” His tone became more serious. “I hate the sorting here... It’s so biased and even more ordered. You can’t meet different people so easily, if you do actually want to.”

“Or maybe they’re expecting you to be grand and fancy,” he pointed out. “It’s not silly, though! I actually like it!” He smiled, nodding.

“Nooooo,” he groaned again, laughing harder and his face crumpled up. He didn’t usually let go of control like that, usually being more peaceful, but Harley had managed to unhinge that as he squeaked quietly and stayed curled up.
