Nicknames and friends
“Marcus do you have any more jerky?” Harrison asked quietly Marcus nodded and pulled out a few pieces of jerky and Harrison smiled.
“thanks” Harrison said. and then he started to munch on it it was domestically cute with how they act soon chatter began again and Harrison's stomach growled again and he sighed. “what's wrong dove?” Marcus asked him quietly “I'm still hungry” Harrison mumbled “ask that elf for food then” Marcus said like it was easiest thing ever.
“oh” Harrison said he had forgotten about that “winky” Harrison called out quietly he didn't want to call dobby with draco in the room. “Mr. Harrison Sir what you been needing?” winky said quietly “could you bring me some meat to eat please?” Harrison asked “I can” winky replied and popped away only to appear after a moment.
“Mr. Harrison sirs' meat, one Turkey other chick” winky said which made Paris and giggle “thank you” he said in winky popped away “what got you giggling love?” Marcus asked “she caught it chick” Harrison said giggling again Marcus smiled at that his little mate was so cute. Harrison started a munch on the sandwiches.
“Can I give you a nickname?” Harrison asked out of the blue Marcus raised an eye at that but he didn't mind “sure love” Marcus said he wondered what Harrison would come up with meanwhile the rest of the time in the room was observing their interactions they never seen Harrison or Marcus act like this before it was refreshing. “Mi Rey [my king]” Harrison said in Spanish which Theodore overheard and perked up.
“¿sabes español? [you know Spanish?]” Theodore asked in Spanish. Harrison perked up too “Sí, no sabía que alguien más lo haría. [yes, I didn't know that anyone else would]” Harrison replied. “Esto es tan genial que nunca antes había podido hablar con nadie en español. No es un idioma común. [this is so cool I've never gotten to speak to anyone in Spanish before it's not a common language hear}.” Theodore said
“Sí, estoy de acuerdo, es una lástima. [yes, I agree it's too bad]” Harrison replied “dove English please?” Marcus asked “Opps” Harrison said smiling Theodore smiled too it was like their own language. “Are you going to tell him what Mi Rey [my king] means?” Theodore asked Harrison and Harrison blushed and shook his head no “when did you learn to speak Spanish?” Theodore asked changing the subject witch Harrison was grateful for.
“When I was about 6 or 7?” he replied “really? Me too” Theodore replied he loved learning different languages. He’s never gotten to speak to someone who knew Spanish. “Why did you learn it? I did because I was bord” Theodore asked Harrison frowned a bit Marcus noticed and pulled Harrison closer.
“Yo también estaba aburrido pero también quería maldecir a mis familiares. [I was also bored but i also wanted to cuss out my relatives]” he said in Spanish he didn't want to say it in English Marcus didn't know yet and he wanted to tell him on his own time. “Why?” Theodore asked confused
“Ellos son pendejos abusivos [they are abusive assholes]” Harrison said shocking Theodore but he kept quiet he guessed that Harrison wanted to keep it quiet “ i understand that” he said it was his grandfather for him. Harrison was quiet “¿es malo? [is it bad?].” Harrison asked quietly “no escuchar [not hear}.” Theodore replied he didn't want to talk about something like that with so many people around even if they couldn't understand them. Harrison nodded he got that
“¿Quieres reunirnos en la biblioteca para hablar? ¿O si no te apetece podemos simplemente estudiar? [want to meet up in the library to talk? or if you don't feel like it, we can just study?]” he asked. Theodore nodded he thought that it was a good idea, being able to finally share and someone get it would feel nice. Harrison nodded in agreement it sounded like a plan he liked that he’d have at least someone to relate to.
“¿mañana? [tomorrow?]” Harrison asked Theodore nodded he could do Tomorow. Marcus was watching their quiet conversation he was glad that Harrison was getting along with at least one of his snakes. It was nice to see it made Marcus smile a bit.
“Love” Marcus said Harrison's attention snapped to Marcus. “Mi Rey?” Harrison replies Spanish dancing on his tongue. “eat” Marcus Harrison went wide eyed and nodded and then he started to eat the other sandwich that winky brought earlier. “Not to be rude but why are you eating a lot it was just lunch just like an hour ago?” a slythrin as Harrison stopped mid bite Marcus snarled at the one who asked the question. it made everyone freeze, it was clear that Marcus took the question the wrong way.
everyone knew about Marcus's anger issues like had he give the test against his stuff and no one wanted to mess with them when he was angry. Harrison then just wacked Marcus upside the head and finished chewing. “Stop that, it was just a question they didn't mean it that way” Harrison said people gasped at that but Marcus just grumbled.
“And to answer your question I didn't get to eat lunch and because of my creature inheritance” Harrison said multiple people gasped in shock again. But not as many as it was kind of obvious that Harrison had a glamour on. of course they didn't know what was under a glamour, but they could tell the sign that someone had a glamour on. no one asked what creature he was and for that Harrison was grateful he may slightly trust the Slytherins but not that much.
A few hours have passed and the common room slowly had less and less people. some people had to take care of homework or wanted to go hang out with some friends so they left. soon it was only Marcus, Harrison Theodore, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, and Daphnee what is there. “so, Harrison are you going to act like this from now on or?” Daphnee asked Harrison curiously. “no not yet it's not safe to do so” Harrison replied.
“Hey what creature are you?”Blaise asked. As he was the only one brave enough to do so especially asking around the Marcus. Marcus's eyes narrowed “you don't have to of course” Blaise said quickly after seeing the look in Marcus's eye. “you guys won't tell anyone right?” Harrison asked and they all shook their heads no.
“a Wendigo/basilisk hybrid” Harrison said surprising them all. “God, it's no wonder you're hungry a lot” pansy said sympathetically. the conversation continued random subjects for a while. Harrison thought it was nice to just talk with people he hasn't done this in a while and he's glad that he gets to.
The fun could not continue forever and it was soon time for curfew. so, Harrison would have to go back to his own dorm. Harrison left and went back to Gryffindor tower and went back to his own dorm. luckily, he didn't run into anyone on the way there they probably had questions he didn't want to answer.
Soon the next day arrived and once again Harrison and Marcus were hanging out as much as possible in the abandoned classroom that they met in but they didn't have a lot of time together because classes and stuf. they were glad that they at least got to each other see each other throughout the day.
Soon though Harrison and Theodore met up like they had planned the day earlier in the library. they took a table that was away from everyone else and when they began talking, they spoke quietly and in Spanish so no one could understand them. It was like their own secret language they sat there talking for at least an hour until they had to go to their next classes by the end of it Theodore and Harrison we're close.
Harrison knew that Theodore was quickly becoming one of his best friends and he didn't mind it. he liked Theodore he was quiet and he liked to talk to Harrison. plus he spoke Spanish which was amazing because he didn't think he'd get to speak to anyone in Spanish ever and it was and it was and he's so glad that he met Theodore.
Harrison learned that Theodore's father was in Azkaban and that he lived with his grandfather. that his grandfather wasn't nice which Harrison had a few colorful words for that. Theodore learned that Harrison's relatives didn't like him because they didn't like magic. how he didn't know his name until he was 4 and how he slept in the cupboard under the stairs.
which Theodore thought was bullshit, they shouldn't have taken Harrison in if they weren't going to care for him. both boys thought it was nice to talk to someone about this stuff. And that's the other gets it so yeah Harrison could see that they could become great friends given the time to.
