Harry had needed some time out of the castle. Having a job was a good thing, as it got him out of the castle from time to time. But the times he was not at work, he sometimes still felt stifled by the castle. So Harry decided to go into New Creandi, and go to the park. A bit of fresh air would do him some good, he suspected.

Harry was currently seated on the grass, idly playing with the Snitch his father -- or James, as he had been calling him -- had given to him for Christmas. It was extremely weird, having his parents here. It was also strange calling them Lily and James, but that's who they were. They hadn't even had him yet, so he supposed that calling them Mum and Dad would be a little awkward. Especially for them. So there he was.

He missed his friends terribly. His friends, and Ginny, and the normalcy that his life had become after the defeat of Voldemort.

Harry shrugged slightly, "I have been trying to get out and explore the area, but... I just haven't been able to recently." Ever since finding out he was written about in a series of books, it was hard for Harry to focus on much else. He had been able to get to work and everything, but when he found himself with free time...

"Not everyone is able to do magic, from where I am from," Harry started. "There are wizards and witches, but then there are also Muggles. Muggles are what we -- wizards and witches -- call non-magical people. The wizarding community isn't too keen on letting Muggles know about magic. Of course, there is the occasional exception... my aunt and uncle and cousin, who I lived with while not at school, were Muggles. But they knew of magic, merely because I was able to do it. They knew what the school I was going to was for, that it was to teach me the proper use of magic. But the use of magic in front of Muggles is forbidden." He stopped talking for a moment, and allowed the Snitch to fly out of his hand once more. "The only reason I feel comfortable showing you magic is because I believe the Ministry of Magic has no power here."

Jane sat for a moment and then flipped open her notepad, starting to take quick notes, although her hand occasionally stilled as she watched the young man, taking in his each word. Reading from a cellphone that magic existed, that people could actually play a game in the air on broomsticks was one thing, hearing it, sitting and watching it happen before her was an entirely different matter.

It was slowly sinking in, like a rock falling to the pit of her stomach that this was truly happening. Their worlds were entirely different, likely none of these people - the exception being Darcy - were from her world.

She shifted her hands, writing the rest down quickly just before shifted it, twirling the inkpen between her fingers. Her brow furrowed slightly. "This Ministry controls it then? The magic I mean. They keep your Muggles from knowing?"

Harry was actually enjoying spending time with this woman, and explaining to her how magic worked. Or, at least, how he understood magic to work. "I didn't think magic was possible, before my eleventh birthday. I got my letter to Hogwarts on that day, and... everything changed after that." He had been raised by Muggles, as he had said before. And the Muggles had done everything in their power to ensure that Harry didn't learn of magic's existence. Though it still wasn't enough, Harry learned about it.

"The Ministry doesn't really control magic. They just regulate it, they give rules to the ones who can do magic. And yes, they keep Muggles from knowing. Because people slip up, and there needs to be some sort of control over it." He offered Jane a small smile, and leaned against the back of the bench.

"Would you like to see more magic? There is more to it than just this Snitch."
