NO ONE'S POV:
Liverpool, England
(We see young John Constantine II in a closet, searching for something.)
John: Come on. Come on! I know father has a spellbook around here somewhere!
(John continues searching the closet. Tossing aside a bunch of clothes he's never seen his father wore.)
John: With all of these clothes he has, I wonder why all he wears is a trenchcoat, a plain white shirt, and a red tie.
(John finally finishes searching the closet & unfortunately he's unable to find the spellbook. He does find a gold helmet.)
John: Hmm?
(John picks up the helmet & holds it up to his face.)
John: This looks familiar.
(John takes the helmet & places it on his father's poker table.)
John's thoughts: I think this might be--no! This helmet couldn't possibly be...
John: Sure is shiny though.
(John's dad walks in & immediately notices what his son is looking at.)
Constantine: What do you think you're doing, John?
John: Oh. Hi, father.
Constantine: I'm waiting, John.
John: Well, I was-
Constantine: You were trying to find my spellbook again, weren't you?
John: Okay, yes. But I did find this helmet.
(Constantine walks up to his son & kneels down to his height.)
Constantine: Now, I need you to be honest with me.
John: Okay?
Constantine: Were you about to put it on?
John: No.
Constantine: Good.
John: It's just a hel-
(Constantine grabs his son tightly by the side of his arms.)
Constantine: That is no ordinary helmet!
John: All right, all right, let me go!
(Constantine lets go of his son.)
John: [groans]
John's thoughts: Was that really necessary?
Constantine: [sighs] Do you still plan on going to Hogwarts?
John: Of course.
Constantine: I wish you'd reconsider.
John: I would if you'd just teach me magic yourself.
Constantine: John, we've been over this.
John: Right, you just want to teach me how to con.
Constantine: You're getting quite good at it to be honest.
John: No I'm not. I'd ask mother, but she's busy do-
Constantine: Hmm, Zee. How is she by the way?
John: She's good. You should probably ask her yourself.
Constantine: If only it was that easy, son.
John: Actually, it is.
(There's an awkward silence between the father & son.)
