Justin could understand that Wayne wouldn’t want to talk about AA, just as much as he didn’t want to talk about what had happened to him during that year. He froze for a moment, trying to figure out what to say. Anyone who knew that he was a Muggleborn knew that he either went on the run or got captured and the question wasn’t often asked.
“I um..” He swallowed, his saliva really thick and making it hard for him. “I went back.” he looked away, his face flushed as a flash came to him. They weren’t really happening as often as before but once in a while, he’d get triggered especially if questions were being asked by people he hadn’t shared this with before.
“So, um..” He ran his hand in his hair again. “Why didn’t you come back though? I know a few parents got scared but um..” Justin mostly wondered why Wayne hadn’t owled.
