"Oh, but paper? Why, though."

Dark-type. What did that even mean? That cascaded into a whole other mess of information about type effectiveness and type energy and type variants within regions and there was an awful lot of information about how good these creatures were at fighting other creatures.

"I know I'm asking a lot of questions, you're being great about it."

“Hey, it is absolutely okay to ask a lot of questions. It can be very confusing to take it all in during the first few weeks or months of being in this world and not everyone is going to know or master everything in one sitting, so help is very much appreciated,” Harry reassures them.

Godric meanwhile is patiently listening to the conversation while sticking his tongue out in a very bemused way.

Powerful urge to pet that pupper. This was a very serious temptation. Something about dogs, they blamed Rex.

"Honestly, the least confusing thing you've mentioned so far is the time travel. I feel like maybe that says more about me than this place, though." So, to do list, acquire food for... dog. Absol. They'd have to experiment to see what she liked. Also name Absol. They glanced back. "Don't suppose you come with a name pre-installed?"

"Sol."

"Nope, that one's mine, you can't have it." Ah, jokes. Dad would be proud. "So, Harry. Cool scar, there a fun story to go with that? Or at least an entertaining encounter with a table corner that can be shamelessly embellished into one?"

(cw: parental death and murder)
Oh Harry hasn’t heard about people commenting on that scar of his on his forehead in so long. He wasn't so sure about speaking much of it to anyone else in this world until now. Should he tell Sol that it was the result of surviving the deadly Killing Curse as an infant?

Needless to say, he did decided to speak out, “Um actually, how I got this particular scar had a really terrifying tale that comes with it. Someone tried to go after me and my parents one Halloween night when I was a baby.”

“He managed to kill my parents despite their efforts to protect me and he was going to end my life too when the spell meant to end a person’s life bounced back thanks to my Mum’s sacrificial protection and it weakened him greatly. I survived that horrible night but it left me this scar as a reminder of that tragic event.”

On the plus side, the way the color drained from their face was probably amusing. "Oh, shit. I am so sorry."

Their parents were alive. Both of them. But they remembered too well the dreams- the memories- of watching Mom collapse in the fields, her normally- muscular body so much thinner than it should have been, of watching Dad wheezing with every breath, fungal growths sprouting from every orifice- and of others, gone before their time.

They'd never meant to bring up such a painful moment. "Well. Now that I've... put my foot entirely in my mouth."

“Oh no, it’s fine, very fine,” Harry tries not to cry as he trembles a bit, “That was several years ago. And as for the man who tried to get rid of me, he is now gone for good and he won’t hurt more people ever again.”

He is feeling very conflicted about mentioning being a Horcrux or even the fact that Voldemort was so obsessed in taking over the wizarding world, but he doesn’t want to traumatize poor Sol and their Absol at this time.
