An unexpected muse.

[wizard_kid]

I don't understand. Who are you, and why did you bring me here?

[Beat.]

And why are you squealing like that?

Comments

From an AU where Harry Potter was raised as Dick Grayson.

[dickandharry]

Short answer? Muns are crazy.

[wizard_kid]

You can say that again.

[dickandharry]

Mind's kinda excited to see you. Apparently he thinks we'd have a lot to talk about. Magic, destiny, terrible eyesight.

[wizard_kid]

Sounds like we have something in common.

[hexappeal]

Fans.

[wizard_kid]

I have fans? No way.

[hexappeal]

You could call me a fan. The same with the one pulling my strings.

[wizard_kid]

Are they always like this? Because the person who bought me here says she wants to cuddle me.

[hexappeal]

I'm lucky in that aspect, but I'd say you're stuck like this.

[wizard_kid]

Really? I wish she wouldn't make a big deal out of it, though. I'm not really special or anything.

[hexappeal]

Give it some time. The jerks in the trench coats didn't approach you for no reason and I didn't let you stay with me as long as you did for no reason.

[wizard_kid]

And I'm really grateful for that. I just hope it dies down soon.

[hexappeal]

I can't guarantee that it'll happen, so you might try and get used to it in the meantime.

So, how is my favorite underage magician doing, otherwise?

[wizard_kid]

I'm doing fine. I'm still having some doubts about being a magician, but i'm fine.

[hexappeal]

You just have to embrace it. As you've surely figured by now, there's a lot of bad that comes with the good. But we have all chosen this path and turning our backs on it would be far more painful than not.

I believe in you.

[wizard_kid]

Yeah. I haven't forgotten how you and Mr. Constantine tried to help me understand the ways of magic. I'll try not to let you guys down.

[hexappeal]

No, I don't think you will. At least from what the one tugging at my strings tells me.

[wizard_kid]

Well, at least you're here. I haven't seen anyone else I know.

[hexappeal]

Perhaps for the better, if I'm being honest with you.

[wizard_kid]

I hope so. At least it beats being chased by some crazy cult.

[hexappeal]

Most things do.

Though there was a time in my life that I found that exhilarating.

[wizard_kid]

Really? That must've been fun.

[hexappeal]

It was. At the time, at least.
