CRASH! AHHHHH! Oh I'm sorry, we're not there yet are we? Hello my name is Edward Edwar- Oh, deep condolences, Ahem! You already know that don't you?
@Lucian Mornstern
@Edward Edwards
Enough Diddly-dandling Edward! Don't you know they want to know what's going to happen? Jesus Edward! Just let them watch... Well sorry! You know what? I'll take it from here! Fine! See if I care! Ah-HEM!
Edward approached the library like he did most days, with no intentions unlike most days. It was a thundering raining day, the lighting crashed and flashed across the sky disabling Edward the privilege to run about and have fun in his imaginings, he was hoping to play horses today... You can't play horses inside! Horses needed open fields to run in and fresh grass to eat... This horse in particular was stuck in his stables... Edward walked into the library he didn't know why he kept finding himself returning to it, it wasn't like he came here to read! He mostly enjoyed his reading curled up in his bed... Which didn't sound too bad to Edward right now as the thought about it. As he walked throughout the library he observed the students as well as the books, he picked out a couple that he though sounded interesting and some he had already known, but were always his favorites and could never get old. As searched he found something he didn't expect... Well more like someone... By now Edward's books stacked so high that he couldn't see anything, and of course due to his clumsy behavior and current vision, a disaster happened. The dark-haired boy sat reading a book with his brown eyes that stood right behind his blocky black glasses, he had ran straight into him causing all of Edward's books to go toppling on top of him with a large CRASH!Edward was shocked but quickly broke into a smile, though it took a second or two to remember the boy's name, he had accidently met this boy before on the platform when he ran into him with his trolley... Then Edward realized what just happened.
"Sorry!" Edward said getting up his books and making sure the boy was okay. "I guess I have a tendency to run into you... Well more like a run down... It that makes sense?"
Edward had started to call this situation a run down, it was when he was ran into someone and they fell down... Apparently Edward met a lot of people this way... Once he finished picking up his books he grinned at the boy revealing the small gap between his two large front teeth.
"By the way, how have you been Lucian?"

I couldnt believe it. Again! Do I have a bloody sign on me that says "Please, run into me! Honestly, I love the sudden jolt of fear and the pain that ensure’s my body".
Let’s go back.
I’m in the library, minding my own beeswax, reading a book about muggle history. It is actually quite fascinating. I was planning to head on over to the Hufflepuff table at dinner or breakfast, if I could find Ali, and ask if she would wait for me. Then, I would list if some things I didn’t know when we first met!
Wait. That is a little… pathetic? Yeah, definitely pathetic.
I sighed and placed the book down. I didn’t even look up before I yelled out in pain! Loads of hardcover books toppled on top of me, tears obscured my vision as my ears rang. "For Merlins sake!" I snapped to no one in particular. I let out a groan and covered my bead, eyes closed and biting my mip, drawing blood. I thought I beard someone say something but I had blocked them out. My head was killing me.
I took a breath and slowly opened my eyes. Taking my glasses off, I checked them. They didn’t look broken. I wiped my eyes and put them back on, tentatively pressing on my head to check for blood. Nothing. Thank Merlin! I raked a hand through my black hair and turned to face the person who had walked into me.
Oh, it’s…
I searched my mind.
Edward! Yeah, he look’s like me.
I slid off the chair and helped him pick the books up, putting them on the table. I looked at him. He was grinning at me. "Hi Edward," I said, unable to keep my own smile away. I decided to tease him. "Wow, you must really like touching me. That’s the second time you’ve walked into me. Glad you don’t have a trolly this time. I was aching for hours!" and because of other reasons we need not to indulge in.

CRASH! Edward was shocked but quickly broke into a smile, though it took a second or two to remember the boy's name, he had accidently met this boy before on the platform when he ran into him with his trolley... Lucian got up to help Edward pick up his books. Then Edward realized what just happened.
"Hi Edward," He said smiling back before going into a tease. "Wow, you must really like touching me. That’s the second time you’ve walked into me. Glad you don’t have a trolly this time. I was aching for hours!"
"Yeah, Sorry bout that!" Edward said getting up his books, chuckling with a small snort. "I guess I have a tendency to run into you... Well more like a run down... If that makes sense?"
Edward had started to call this situation a run down, it was when he was ran into someone and they fell down... Apparently Edward met a lot of people this way... Once he finished picking up his books he grinned at the boy revealing the small gap between his two large front teeth.
"By the way, how have you been Lucian?"
He was genuinely interested in how the boy had been doing since he arrived at Hogwarts. Edward didn't understand why he was so happy to see him, he just shrugged it off for another day. Edward found it odd why they looked so similar?... Maybe it was random chance? Edward didn't believe in random, Edward believed that everyone that you met had some sort of significance or purpose in your life.
"Hey, maybe there is a reason I keep run downing you! Maybe we were meant to be together!" Edward beamed at Lucian. Lucian would soon learn that their was no filter between Edward's mind and his mouth, at least that meant he was pretty honest... Unless he was acting.... In his mind he didn't understand that sounded a little... Weird...

My smirk still on my face, I replied. "I’m okay. I’ve made a few friends in my dorm and a girl I sat with on the train. I couldn’t find you, sorry about that," I answered. I thought, what had I done worth telling this boy about? "One minute you were there and next you weren’t. As much as I like you Edward, I’m a little glad that happened! It allowed me to meet my first friend! But anyways, how have you been?!" I exclaimed, grinning broadly.
"I- I’m not really that interesting yet I’m af- afraid. I sent an owl to my brother though. It’s weird being here. This is the longest I’ve been away from my parents," I rambled truthfully, fiddling with my glasses.
"I’ve only gotten lost 5 times!" maybe because I could smell which way to go. I yawned and looking back at the Hufflepuff.
I chuckled, "Yeah. Maybe that’s the reason. We were just destined to be together!" I joked, pretending to faint.
I lowered myself so I was kind of leaning on top of him, my head on his shoulder. I teased him even more by plsnting dhe much It didn’t last long and I stood up straight, laughing again, before smoothing my robes. I grinned back at him.
"So, what brings you down to the library?" I asked, sitting myself back down and offering the space next to me.

"I've been good, just like you I met one of my best friends on the Hogwarts express!" Edward smiled dopley at Lucian. "I've met a lot more students, and joined a couple clubs... But my favorite thing are the adventures!"
"I- I’m not really that interesting yet I’m af- afraid. I sent an owl to my brother though. It’s weird being here. This is the longest I’ve been away from my parents," Lucian stated honestly, fiddling around with his glasses. "I’ve only gotten lost 5 times!"
Edward nodded, he hadn't gotten lost once, but that's because he would spend all his time running about and mapping out the entire school, plus he had a good sense of direction. He was an explorer after all! Edward found it odd that they looked so similar?... Maybe it was random chance? Edward didn't believe in random, Edward believed that everyone that you met had some sort of significance or purpose in your life.

Edward laughed back, he understood now what that sounded like. He thought it was funny and so did Lucian so, win-win! It lasted for a couple seconds before Lucian sat up straight once again laughing heaps.
"So, what brings you down to the library?" He smiled sitting back down and gesturing the seat next to him. Edward took it without hesitation.
"I'm bored, it's raining so I can't go outside to play horses... Something exciting usually happens in the library... Well at least for me. I was thinking about settling to get a book to read, ya'know? I found too many... I don't like reading inside of libraries... I prefer just reading in my bed with some hot chocolate," He told him truthfully in his american accent, then turned to look at him with a smile. "What bout you? Why are you here? Also what do you like doing? And lastly I owe you a two brownies for run downing you."

I grinned, "Glad you found your mates Edward. Let me guess, you bulldozed them too?" I asked with a laugh. "I’ve just been wandering round to be honest. What clubs have you joined?" I asked, interested.
I took the time to really take in his features. I’m not kidding when I say how much we look alike. He is essentially me just… without glasses and a different hair-do. Like I’ve said before, it’s uncanny. I’ve heard that apparently there is a doppelgänger of you somewhere in the world… but apparently you’re never gonna ever meet em.
How wrong they were.

I was thinking about settling to get a book to read, ya'know? I found too many... I don't like reading inside of libraries... I prefer just reading in my bed with some hot chocolate," Ed explained — Ed? I really need to stop nicknaming people.
"Horses? What game is that?" I asked with an air of confusion, a perplexing look on my face as I habitually knock my glasses up my face again. I grinned and nodded about what he said regarding reading.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. However, I usually fall asleep when I read in bed. I get so comfy and warm and my body stops hurting as I drift off," I mused, staring into space. Merlin, just thinking about it made my head hurt slightly less and my limbs feel normal.
Then he asked about what I was doing and I turned red.
I couldn’t tell him the real reason… right? That I was here because I wanted to impress a girl. I am waaay too old for that! I’m 11 year’s old and she is too! Yes, I’ll elect to omit that.
"I was just brushing up on my muggle knowledge, you know? I don’t know much about the world outside of the Wizarding one," I answered truthfully. "As for what I like doing…" I looked at my feet, hunching in on myself s little. "I dunno. Never really had friends before here. Me and Baxter used to play Hide-and-Seek. I u-used to secretly go out with my cousin and fly my broom, learn Quidditch, but-but I officially hate flying since I fell off my broom," I nattered on.
What did I like to do?
I like… well, pranking people is fun. Me and Baxter used to always prank our Magizoologist uncle when he came over! And two of out least favourite cousins, Aimee and Emma. Reading DADA is fun! Learning about different animals.
I told him this in a run down version as to not bore him.
"You don’t have to, honest, but if you’re offering," I laughed (about the brownies) and shook my head , "Naw. But if you run into me one more time… then I will do this thing muggles call ‘Rugby Tackling’ and rugby tackle you out a window!" I threatened lightly, joking about the window.

"Horses is a game where you pretend to be a horse, that's pretty much it. What bout you? Why are you here? Also what do you like doing? And lastly I owe you a two brownies for run downing you."
Next something happened that Edward didn't expect, not even in the least, Lucian turned red. All he did was ask what he was doing here?... Maybe that was it, Edward squinted at Lucian curiously.

I u-used to secretly go out with my cousin and fly my broom, learn Quidditch, but-but I officially hate flying since I fell off my broom..."
Who was Baxter? Edward's interest was piqued, was he a sibling or a best friend? Edward had neither of those back at home... Edward honestly loved Quidditch, he had actually tried out for Keeper not too long ago, he was waitlisted. Edward nodded. He felt bed that he had fallen off his broom....
"You don’t have to, honest, but if you’re offering," He laughed and shook his head, "Naw. But if you run into me one more time… then I will do this thing muggles call ‘Rugby Tackling’ and rugby tackle you out a window!"
This received a quiet chortle from Edward.
"Eh?! I'd like to see you try! Also I like baking people things... Also Sorry bout that... that you fell off your broom... I used to play hide and seek with my mom, but.... She got too busy to play with me anymore, so... I just usually play by myself, well, until I came to Hogwarts...." Edward realized he slipped, he had just told his secret, he panicked a bit. "Sorry, er-I uhm- I mean, I play with my siblings, Ava and Ben... Is Baxter your sibling? I like Quidditch a lot, I actually erm- Tried out to be a keeper, I'm waitlisted currently... What do you know about magical creatures? You know lycanthropes, veelas, giants, vampires, ghosts, pixies, and such?"
He was trying hard to steer away from his accidently spilled secret, he didn't want this secret out... No one could know that Ben and Ava didn't exist... That he had been lonely... It was a secret he would forever keep to his grave...

“Eh?! I'd like to see you try!” he challenged. I let out a laugh.
“I may not look like a power house, but I have the strength of a wo— one!” was I about to say wolf? Yes. Would that be dangerous? Yes. Edward spoke about his passion for baking (“Have to teach me one day,” I said, forget two left feet while dancing, that’s me with making food! I leave it all to the house elf or my mum.) and then his sympathies for my broom mishap. “Thanks mate,” I said and then I felt sorry for the lad as he spoke about his mum.
“I used to play hide and seek with my mom, but.... She got too busy to play with me anymore, so... I just usually played by myself, well, until I came to Hogwarts....” he had said… then he quickly changed and mentioned his siblings, Ava and Ben.
I laughed, did he quickly say he played with his brother and sister because I said I played with mine? “It’s okay if you don’t play with them Edward. How old are they? Baxter is my adoptive brother, he’s 9. Are your siblings at Hogwarts too?” I asked, slightly oblivious to him seemingly wanting to shift the convo.
Edward mentioned he liked Quidditch, how he tried out for Keeper. I wished him the best of luck!
Then he asked about magical creatures!
My face lit up as he mentioned Lycanthropy! “I know quite a bit about magical creatures. I think I’m lacking when it comes to Imps and I know the most about Werewolves!” I said excitedly. “And ghosts! Ghosts are awesome! Well… some of them are. My favourite creature is probably a Niffler! What do you think about Werewolves?” at this point, I think I will make a tally to show mum! To prove that more views have changed the past few years!

"Eh?! I'd like to see you try!" Edward said and Lucian laughed.
“I may not look like a power house, but I have the strength of a wo— one!”
It was Edward's turn to laugh.
"Also I like baking people things..." Edward stated bringing them back to a more neutral mood.
"Have to teach me one day,” Lucian said, Edward grinned, he liked that idea a lot. Usually he cooked by himself or with his mother, so it would make a nice change.
"Yeah! I'll take you up on that! Also Sorry bout that... that you fell off your broom..."
"“Thanks mate,” Lucian said.
"I used to play hide and seek with my mom, but.... She got too busy to play with me anymore, so... I just usually play by myself, well, until I came to Hogwarts...." Edward realized he slipped, he had just told his secret, he panicked a bit. "Sorry, er-I uhm- I mean, I play with my siblings, Ava and Ben... Is Baxter your sibling?"
Lucian laughed.
“It’s okay if you don’t play with them Edward. How old are they? Baxter is my adoptive brother, he’s only 5. Are your siblings at Hogwarts too?”
Edward successfully avoided not laughing about what Lucian thought he meant. Well it was better than him knowing the truth, Edward felt a strange thing in his chest... Was it jealousy? Edward felt guilt for being jealous of Lucian... How could he do such a thing? Edward averted his gaze away from Lucian, his mother always told that eyes were the window to the soul, and Edward couldn't afford that!
"Er-no, I love them... We play all the time... Trust me it's complicated... Also they aren't magical like me... Ben is uhm-" Edward thought for a second, he had never actually assigned them ages all he imagined was that Ben was older and Ava was younger.... He had to make up something quick. "-Ben issssssszzzz.... 14! And Ava is 9...."- He quickly changed the topic.-" like Quidditch a lot, I actually erm- Tried out to be a keeper, I'm waitlisted currently..."
Lucian was kind and wished him the best of luck, it felt like a stab at Edward's heart, how could he be jealous of such a nice person?
"What do you know about magical creatures? You know lycanthropes, veelas, giants, vampires, ghosts, pixies, and such?"
He was trying hard to steer away from his accidently spilled secret, he didn't want this secret out... No one could know that Ben and Ava didn't exist... That he had been lonely... It was a secret he would forever keep to his grave...
Lucian's face lit up at the Edward's words, it made Edward smile.
"I know quite a bit about magical creatures. I think I’m lacking when it comes to Imps and I know the most about Werewolves!” He said excitedly. “And ghosts! Ghosts are awesome! Well… some of them are. My favourite creature is probably a Niffler! What do you think about Werewolves?”
Edward nodded at Lucian's every word, he respected and honored his opinion and frankly... Was quite curious about this boy.
"I like nifflers too! They are definitely trouble makers! I say though, that my favorite has to be a Thestral or a Antipodean Opaleye Dragon! I know a half-breed, but I won't tell! I promised I would keep it a secret. And werewolves? I think they're cool! I would to meet one in real life, I believe it is unrightful to judge them! It wasn't like they chose to be what they are, even though it's pretty groovy, it's like some people are born with magic and some not.... Once again, I would like to meet one in real life..." He smiled largely at Lucian. "What do you think? Also... Do you have a secret? Everyone has a secret, but what's scary is you can't keep it forever... You don't have to tell me! I'm just curious if you have a big one or not..." He looked at the boy with his large, dark, curious eyes.

I watched as emotions flickered through Edwards eyes for a moment but then he looked away quickly and said that he loved them. “Trust me, it’s complicated. Also, they aren’t magical like me,” he explained. I suddenly felt bashful, here I was assuming everyone was Purebloods! That is gonna make people think poorly of you, Lucian!
“I’m sorry. I assumed you were Pureblood,” I said, adjusting my glasses with a timid smile.
He then told me their ages. “Oh, so Ben is your older brother? Is it nice havin’ an older brother? If it is anything like having older cousins then I am glad mum only adopted the one and that he is considerably younger than I am!” I spoke. The amount of teasing from them is horrendous and I don't even see them every day! If I ever get a girlfriend, I am telling no one in the family. Maybe my mother… but that is if she promised to keep her trap shut.
I nodded along with him, listening with rapt attention. Thestrals are nice! “I’ve never actually seen one face to face,” I mused, “Have you?” I asked him. I tried to hide a grin as I listened to yet another person defend Werewolves.
“I believe it is unrightful to judge them! It wasn't like they chose to be what they are,” Edward said.
“Yes! Exactly! The predigest reactions to something out of ou-their control! And it shouldn’t even be that bad these days!” I ranted heatedly. I hope he doesn’t mind talking about stuff like this, I thought sheepishly. “One minute their life is normal and the next, WHAM, it is turned on its head and they are scared of telling the wrong people to worry about incarceration!” I ranted heavily, a hard look coming across my features. I had sat closer to the table, no longer slouching and had curled my hand into a fist.
“Once again, I would like to meet one in real life..” he said, looking at me. A huge smile was on his face and I froze. Was he suggesting that I…? Nooo, this cannot be good. What if this was all just an act? What if he didn’t really want to be my friend? Maybe this was all for show and then when I told him what I really was then he would hurt me?
“What do you think? Also... Do you have a secret? Everyone has a secret, but what's scary is you can't keep it forever... You don't have to tell me! I'm just curious if you have a big one or not..." He looked at the boy with his large, dark, curious eyes.
Am I breathing? I looked at Edward with an emotion akin to fear in my eyes. Holy Merlin, he knew! He has to know! What am I going to do? He knew and he was going to tell everyone! I can’t have people thinking the worst of me?! I’ve not even been here long, they have no idea who I am and that what you may read in the books or biassed reports is not true. The familiar feeling of panic rushed over me as I continued gawking at Edward. A rational part of my brain told me that I was jumping to conclusions. The lad only asked if I had a secret. It’s not that unusual, right? But… it was how he worded it. How he said it. Where he put the emphasis on words. How he was looking at me. Despite the panic and turmoil boiling in my chest like a potion gone wrong… I was contemplating telling him. I need to tell that one, that one was for sure. I was thinking of telling Ree… multiple times actually. Actually became close to telling her once… then I woke up with tears in my eyes as I realised I was too pathetic and scared! Then I got angry with myself. I am Lucian-bloody-Mornsten! Why should the opinions of a Half-Blood and a- a mudblood (the guilt I felt a couple hours after thinking that was painful) concern me? I am a bloody Wolf! A Slytherin! My father is so bloody good with a wand at spell casting! My mum is pretty good at making heals too. Baxter will grow up to be the best wizard ever, and what is best, he will not be a Werewolf.
I steeled myself. “Fine. You want to know my secret, Edwards? You wanna know the deep, dark and dangerous?” I asked, eyes glaring holes. I am not mad at Edwards, he is just curious. Yes? I just…. I am mad at the circumstances. I grab his arm and pull him to the back of the library, I am pretty sure my hold was tight and maybe painful as I wasn’t holding my strength back. I looked around, making sure no one was watching. The library was pretty deserted.
I yanked my cloak off and dumped it on the floor before clumsily untucking my shirt and lifting that and my jumper up so a section of the side of my abdomen was showing. There was a scar. It was on the left flank of my stomach, 2 inches in length and discoloured. I held back self-pity tears as Edward stared at it, My hand shook as I continued to show the scar.
There was no going back now.

“I’m sorry. I assumed you were Pureblood,” I said, adjusting my glasses with a timid smile.
He then told me their ages. “Oh, so Ben is your older brother? Is it nice havin’ an older brother? If it is anything like having older cousins then I am glad mum only adopted the one and that he is considerably younger than I am!” I spoke. The amount of teasing from them is horrendous and I don't even see them every day! If I ever get a girlfriend, I am telling no one in the family.
