After a couple of days, Justin couldn't help feeling bored. Sure, there were monsters to fight - and hey, Chicago had some awesome museums - but beyond that, there wasn't much to do when the city was in some kind of weird flux. Plus, he felt like he couldn't ask his girlfriend to entertain him every moment of the day.

So he decided to head out to the library - any library, for that matter - and check out some books. It was better than nothing! Of course, he paused the moment he saw Draco heat his tea. Another wizard? Here? Guess they were more common than Justin thought.

Pulling out his own, he approached the other kid and gave him a playful salute. "Hey. How's it going?"

Draco raised an eyebrow as he approach. Thank Merlin it's another wizard, though obviously not one from Hogwarts. Or certainly no one he remembered seeing around. Hopefully not a Muggleborn, even if his feelings are slightly less acerbic toward them than he used to be.

"Well enough considering our magic doesn't work like it should and we can't even Apparate out."

"Tell me about it," Justin sighed, tapping his wand against his forehead as he recalled the last few times he tried to magic his way out of this city. Hang on a second... this guy's accent wasn't American in the least. Nor did he seem to use similar 'magic' since Justin couldn't remember what the term 'Apparate' meant.

After a moment, he then asked, "Is this your first visit to America? I'm sorry that you're stuck here, but hey. I wouldn't mind showing you around. I'm not exactly from Chicago myself, but there's plenty of cool things to see and do."

Draco nodded at that, "First visit indeed. The only place I was looking to visit before this would have been Durmstrang years ago. So you're from one of the American schools then? Salem perhaps?"

He set the book down with a swish of his own wand, before putting the tome away.

"I suppose it would help. Especially if you know where to access the Wizarding sections of Chicago. There has to be something available, it can't all be Muggle, can it?"
