"Oh shit," I breathe out when I see Puff. (Real original name there, Derek.) It looks way creepier than I remember it being, but it also looks incredibly fluffy. Like, I want to hold it just so I can say I did.

"Isn't that a Harry Potter thing?" Does that mean Harry Potter is real? How do you even deal with the possibility of the characters you loved while growing up being real? "Are Harry Potter things real here? Is Harry Potter here?"

So maybe I'm excited. I think it's understandable, it's Harry fucking Potter. I wanted to be Hermione and go to Hogwarts when I was little. Actually, I'm pretty sure she's the reason I'm even an honor roll student in the first place.
