Diagon Alley

JACK

Jack scanned the list of school supplies on a long piece of parchment. Sitting beside him was Gobber who kept lecturing him and telling him further information about Hogwarts, "I had Hiccup ought to keep you company and give you a tour at Hogwarts."

He looked at the large buffy man, "Hiccup?"

"Yup. Don't bother looking for that scrawny li'l kid, he'll instantly come to ye. You're quite easy ta' recognize, ye know?" Jack smiled and ran a hand through his snow white hair. He then thought of Hiccup. Does Hiccup somehow look like a hiccup? Or just a simple boy like him who wishes to be seen? Either way, he badly wanted to meet this Hiccup.

"Actually, you get to receive your Hogwarts letter at the age of 11."

"But why didn't I receive mine?"

"Well, to answer that, you have to wait for the right time to know." There you go again with the waiting. Jack hated waiting, he's one of those who eagerly seek for answers and know them right away.

"Gobber...does every student have powers?"

"Well, no. Children don't necessarily need to have powers to attend Hogwarts. As long as you're a wizard or a witch. If your mother's a witch, if your father's a wizard, if both of them are, you get to attend Hogwarts. But there are Muggleborns whose parents are-"

"I'm sorry, muggle-what?"

"Muggleborns! Children who have non magic parents. We simply call 'em Muggles."

"So my mom is a Muggle?"

"Why, yes."

"If my dad was a wizard and mom's a Muggle...what does that make me?"

"A half-blood. Purebloods have both their parents, wizards." Jack nodded in full understanding. There's so much to learn. So much to take in. After one train stop, Jack went back down to the list.
