“Yeah. Fine,” Lucas replies. It only hurts a little. Landing on one’s behind does that to a person. And he’s not a small man. There’s plenty of him to land on the ground with. Lucas is rather tall, one of the tallest in his year.
“He’s named after a brand of chocolate. You know like Smarties, Aero, KitKat?” He’s not sure if she has any muggle heritage like he does or whether she will understand the reference. He nods. “I know. We have classes together.” And they are the same year. There’s not that many students and despite his dislike of people, Lucas still knows names to faces.
Lucas is about to take a step when he pauses. “Head to Gringotts?” She had not gotten his joke, had she? “Gringotts is all the way in London, I was kidding about him being halfway to Gringotts by now...” Lucas trails off. He thinks he has seen something that might be a niffler crawling under a vendor. He dives for it, throwing himself onto the ground and only ends up grabbing some poor bloke’s ankle instead. “Sorry!” Lucas dodges a kick to the head. “You really shouldn’t wear fuzzy shoes!”
