AAAAHHH can we please have this?

Zimbits fantasy AU reminiscent of Harry Potter:

Bitty lands his broomstick with a heavy heart, lagging behind everyone as they go to the showers. Jack’s words are ringing in his ears, and he doesn’t want to give the captain any more reasons to scream at him. Jack almost acts like he knows what Bitty’s thinking, and agrees with him; he strips and showers in record time, and when Bitty comes out of the showers himself, Jack is already dressed and gone.

“Don’t worry, bro,” Holster says, kicking his pile of gear and then directing it onto the rack with a flick of his wand. “Jack’s just like that. It’s not personal.”

“Considering what he’s been through,” Shitty says, not looking up as he re-bandages his ankle, “it’s not surprising.”

“What did he go through?” Bitty blurts out, and then blanches when they all turn to stare at him.

He keeps doing this; barely a day has passed since he arrived at the Sameell College of Magic that he hasn’t accidentally said or done something that reveals he was homeschooled, didn’t go to one of the tightly-knit magical boarding schools. They share so many things: Slang, handshakes, fashions, in-jokes…

“He defeated the Dark Lord,” Holster says incredulously. “Twice. That not enough?”

…Oh, right. And knowledge of the stupid secret war Bitty’s parents did his best to keep him safe from all these years.

“Bits,” Shitty says, sitting up straight. “Be real with me here. Have you never heard of the Boy Who Lived?”
