            When Red receives his Hogwarts letter, he’s not surprised at all. After all, living with the Elite Four already softened him to the idea of magic – or at least power – but still, it would be annoying to leave his family and go to boarding school for nine months, to say nothing about his pokémon!

            Still, Lance says that he can train during the three-month break in the summer, and that it might be good for him to go. Besides, if he hates it, after one year he can come home.

            So Red agrees, and they take him shopping and buy all sorts of pretty things, and when he gets on the Express, he chugs away merrily.

            The Hat takes one look at him and plunks him in Gryffindor, next to a boy with glasses. But it’s all right, because he doesn’t really care yet.

            He’ll learn as much magic as he can, and then, he’ll see how things turn out.

 

            When Harry looks at Red, he sees strange eyes that are like rubies, and a small smile that is stretched too thin. He wonders what Red is hiding, and he wishes he knew. But then Red invites him home over Christmas break, and he goes, and he sees what Red has left behind.

            It’s not England, never England, and he can see how Red wouldn’t mind not having magic, because the place he is in has technology and creatures as wonderful as magic.

            Harry rather likes it here, because here, he can be just Harry.

 

            Lance holds Red close as he explains about the Mirror of Desire, and tells him that they don’t need it.

            Red grins and nods, because he knows that what he really desires… is Lance.

            That’s all that needs to be said.

            And then they kiss.
