This is SO COOL.
There is a CASTLE in New York.
Totally worth sneaking out of the tunnels and risking evil plants to check out. Because, CASTLE! Right there!
Laura is not going unarmed, of course! She has dragged Mudkip along, who is being jumpy about every little thing.
The two are currently in the entry hall, generally being impressed. (Laura is hoping to find big, fancy beds. That would be awesome and tons more comfortable than piles of rags. Also less stinky. Mudkip is hoping not to find any monsters.)

The man who enters the entrance hall after Laura is large, his muscles not hidden underneath his long black robes. Personal grooming has never entered his mental vocabulary: his greyish-brown hair is matted, his pointed teeth are stained yellow as are his long nails.
Fenrir Greyback thought he smelled someone...young.
The corners of his amber eyes crinkle in a smile. "I always loved the ceiling," he comments, with the raspy voice of someone not used to speaking.

"What are you supposed to be, some kinda bum?"
She hopes! Bums are neat!
Mudkip is not as excited. He is cowering back by Laura's legs and watching the creepy newcomer.

"Didn't your mother teach manners?" He doesn't sound like he minds one bit, though.

"I lived here once upon a time. Recently revisited." And saw the death of one of the wizarding world's greatest fighters for the side of good. He smiles at the memory.
"Or I did...back where I come from. It was quite a shock to find Hogwarts...wherever here is."
Knowledgeable about Muggle geography, Fenrir is not.

Normally, she would not be asking this. But, after guy with animal powers, strange creatures, and general weirdness, she's quite willing to accept that a fairy tale prince would be here and cursed.

He can afford to be patient. Get to know the girl a little.

The smile returns when he talks about the castle. "It's Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where young witches and wizards learn to do magic.
"I suppose they have a different school in America, that's why you haven't heard of Hogwarts."

"Levicorpus."
Mudkip should finds itself dangling from what passes for one of its ankles now.

To Mudkip, she adds, "Don't be such a baby!"

"Magic," he says, tone shading to puzzlement. "You've never seen it before?" How can a Muggle see Hogwarts? Has being transported to New York dispelled the magical protections?

Guess whose tongue is stuck to the roof of her mouth?

fdjsklfsjkl!
Flail!

Such as when she decides to kick a person who is larger than she is and also capable of using magic.
no subject
When you've had one of your kids try to rip your own throat out, when you serve a Dark Lord that'd Crucio you at the slightest mistake - a kick to the shin is child's play.
His laugh booms across the abandoned entrance hall. "Now, now, missy...little girls must be good before they get their reward."
no subject
CLEARLY SHE NEEDS TO HIT HARDER!
no subject
Scowling, he thrusts her back with the hand not holding his arm. Fenrir knows his own strength, and is rather gentle with the wee one. Just enough force to get her away - unless (or until) she decides to charge him again.
no subject
She goes for running off, grabbing Mudkip out of the air on her way. Laura is practiced at fleeing adults!
no subject
Because, yeah, that's what Fenrir does.
no subject
The "mmph"ing goes up in pitch and intensity. Laura's going from mad to scared.
no subject
...Oh, right, he was doing something else.
Still pointing his wand at her, he says whatever words one says to undo the tongue-sticking jinx, then undoes the Leg-Locker Curse.
"Now you can run along wherever you want, missy," he informs her. Smilingly.
no subject
She's definitely running now, though deeper into the school.
no subject
He goes to get something to eat, instead, mindful of the perils of dealing with small children on an empty stomach.
