Context:
Hogwarts has decided to take a group of 8th-years on a week-long field trip to a Muggle town for Muggle Studies Immersion. As part of the trip, all students are given basic smartphones to navigate the area, look things up, and "experience Muggle communication methods.".
⸻
Group Chat: "Hogwarts Goes Muggle 🎒📱"
Participants: Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, Pansy, Dean, Luna, and others.
Hermione: Everyone please be respectful with the phones. They're for educational purposes.
Ron: So naturally, I'm using mine to Google "how microwaves work."
Pansy: I just used mine to order ten milkshakes to the youth hostel.
Draco: I am begging someone to explain what an "Uber" is and why one just showed up outside the museum.
Harry: That was me. I dared Seamus to call one to "the most haunted building in town."
Seamus: It was haunted. The driver kept whistling.
Luna: I found an app that tells you when the moon is in Sagittarius.
Draco: What am I supposed to do with that information.
Luna: Heal.

[Private Text – Draco ➤ Harry]
Draco: You typed suspiciously fast in the group chat. Have you had one of these before?
Harry: Maybe.
Draco: So you're secretly a Muggle tech genius?
Harry: Not exactly. Just... lived with them for a long time. Had to learn some things.
Draco: That's the second time you've reminded me you grew up in a cupboard.
Harry: That's the second time you've brought it up.
Draco: Touché.
Harry: Did you really not know how to text?
Draco: I clicked the calculator app and couldn't get out for ten minutes. I panicked and turned the whole thing off.
Harry: 😂
Draco: Stop laughing at me.
Harry: I'm not. I'm smiling. Big difference.
Draco: Infuriating.
Harry: You like it.
Draco: ...
Harry:
[Photo attachment: blurry picture of Draco at the bus stop earlier that day, squinting at his phone like it's cursed.]
Harry: I call this one "Wizard Lost in Muggle Translation."
Draco: Delete that immediately.
Harry: Can't. Too cute.
Draco:
Typing...
Deleted.
Typing...
Draco: Shut up.
Harry: You didn't say I was wrong though.
⸻
[Next Day – Draco ➤ Harry]
Draco: Okay. I figured out how to use Maps. I'm three minutes from the coffee place you like.
Harry: How did you know I like it?
Draco: You went there three times in two days. I'm not blind.
Harry: You watching me?
Draco: Maybe I like what I see.
Harry: That was smooth.
Draco: I've been practicing texting flirtation with Pansy. She gave me a script.
Harry: Tell her she's doing Merlin's work.
Draco: She says "you're welcome" and also "finally."
Harry: 😳
Draco: Meet me at the café?
Harry: On my way.
⸻
[That Night – Harry ➤ Draco]
Harry: I had a good time today. Even if your latte order was horrifying.
Draco: "Oat milk is not a personality," you muttered under your breath.
Harry: It's true and you know it.
Draco: Admit it, you like me.
Harry: I'm texting you at 12:30am. What do you think?
Draco: I think I'm sleeping like a Muggle with this ridiculous pillow and your stupid face in my head.
Harry: You think my face is stupid?
Draco: I think I'm in trouble.
Harry: Good. Same.
Draco:
Typing...
Deleted.
Typing...
Draco: If I texted you a kiss emoji, would you mock me?
Harry: Only a little. Depends on the emoji.
Draco: 😘
Harry: 😏
Draco: I hate you.
Harry: You really don't.
⸻
[Final Day – Harry ➤ Draco]
Harry: So... we going to pretend that whole accidental-holding-hands-on-the-train thing didn't happen?
Draco: I assumed you'd text first.
Harry: I assumed you'd deny it.
Draco: I thought about it. But I keep checking my phone like some idiot waiting for your name to pop up.
Harry: ...Well. It popped up.
Draco: Then yes. It happened. I meant it.
Harry: Same.
Draco: Meet me behind the hostel before curfew?
Harry: Already sneaking out. Bring your horrible oat milk.
Draco: Only if you bring that smirk I hate so much.
Harry: Deal.
⸻
Group Chat: "Hogwarts Goes Muggle 🎒📱"
Pansy: Draco and Potter disappeared again.
Ron: Bet five galleons they're snogging.
Hermione: Honestly, I'm just impressed Draco learned to use emojis.
Luna: Love always finds a signal.
