Harry tried not to show his disappointment as Jack stepped away from him, smiling a little at what he was pretty sure was consideration towards him. He grinned as the cheerios were mentioned, quirking his head to the side to motion for Jack to follow him.
"Y'know, I think Teddy really likes you. That's ace in my book," He commented as he led the taller wizard down the stone stairway that led to the kitchen below. He frowned delicately as they reached the kitchen, taking a seat at the large kitchen table; Kreacher had obviously just put out dinner, setting two places at one end of the table facing each other. There was a vegetarian pasta with red sauce, a chef salad, garlic cheese bread, baked potatoes, and steamed mixed vegetables. Along with pitchers of butterbeer, pumpkin juice, and a freshly opened bottle of Merlot.
"I'm not a celebrity..." He said quietly, frowning a little. "I mean, I don't consider myself one. I'm just...me. Just Harry." He shrugged, managing a little smile. "I grew up hated by the family that raised me, I lived in a cupboard under their stairs until I was twelve. I was a nobody, no one cared about me." He looked up at Jack imploringly, biting his lip. "I never had a friend until I went to Hogwarts, I had no idea what actually happened to my parents, or that people knew who I was. I'm just an average bloke that's, I dunno, been thrown into really abnormal circumstances. There's really nothing special about me."
He wasn't sure why he wanted Jack to know this so badly, or anyone really. Most people spent the majority of their lives trying to prove how special they were, while Harry spent his trying to prove how normal he was.
"As for questions, I dunno." He sighed, his expression a little lost. "I've known for a number of years, but I didn't figure it was a big deal, yeah? If it ever came up, then I'd address it. But it never has, and now? I feel like it's this big huge secret, and it's sort of daunting. I don't know how to tell my friends. Everyone...they sort of assume they know me really well, I don't want to hurt them."
