"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.... "

@Edward Edwards
“Yes! Exactly! The predigest reactions to something out of ou-their control! And it shouldn’t even be that bad these days!" Lucian said with a large passion for the topic, he was no longer slouching and had his hands balled up into fist. “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!”
Edward nodded as Lucian ranted on about Lycanthropes, he seemed almost mad or offended... Odd to say the least, but sometimes his mother would talk about topics and get this worked up, he must be passionate about the subject.
"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.
Edward hadn't noticed how Lucian held his breath and gawked at Edward until after he was done talking, he looked afraid of Edward. Edward wondered if he had sad something wrong, that had never happened before... But yet again Edward didn't meet much people until he came to Hogwarts, Lucian continued to gawk at Edward, Edward was stuck in time, he had no idea what to do, he felt a little hopeless... He ran through scenarios in his mind, but his mind was racing... Nothing was working, Edward couldn't move his lips to say something. Lucian's face suddenly turner as serious as stone, it was crazy to think not to long ago they had been laughing their brains out....
“Fine. You want to know my secret, Edwards? You wanna know the deep, dark and dangerous?” Lucian said piercing his eyes into what felt like Edward's soul. Edward didn't was actually expecting him to tell him his secret, he was wondering what he got himself into? Did he kill somebody? he quickly dismissed the idea. A split second had passed after Lucian's question, Lucian grabbed Edward's arm as he yanked him to the back of the library, it was already deserted but he guessed Lucian wasn't taking any chances.
"Lucian?" Edward said questioningly unsure about this situation he found himself him, well more accurately put himself in. Curiosity killed the, his mother had always warned him. Hopefully that wouldn't happen now... Edward could have pulled away but he let his curiosity consume him. Lucian let go off Edward's arm harshly, Edward's arm ached where his fingers had once been. Edward winced quietly as he held his arm, without a warning Lucian pulled off his cloak throwing it to the ground, Edward was confused what was happening he just stood there dumbly. What was his secret? And what did this have to do with anything!? Lucian awkwardly untucked his shirt pulling it up to reveal a large scar left flank of his stomach, 2 inches in length and discoloured. Edward was perplexed it was like a rubix cube you couldn't solve, just a maze with another surprise at every corner but no way out. It looked like it hurt, and almost animal-like.... Now it made sense, his passion about the unrightful judgement of lycanthropes, his nervousness and sudden anger about a secret, and the scar.... Lucian was a werewolf. Lucian's hand was shaking. Edward observed it, and then looked away he didn't want to seem rude about it by gawking! Edward said he wanted to meet a werewolf, and he did.
"Did it hurt?" Edward asked stupidly with his curious eyes, he wasn't afraid of him in the slightest and treated him the same as he did before. "Cool! Also your secret is safe with me!... Also a secret for a secret... You trusted me with a big one... So I'll tell you one..."
Edward took a deep breath, steadily calming his nerves, he looked straight at Lucian. He decides to pretend he was talking to his mother, the only other one who knew his secret.
"Ben... And Ava.... They don't exist, they are my imaginary siblings.... Because I'm an only child..." Edward said, but for some reason instead of a stab in his heart or like he just got hit by a car, he felt relief as if a weight had just been lifted off his chest....
"Let's make a promise!" He said holding up a small needle that he kept stuck on his blue baseball cap. "Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, I Edward will keep your secret to death, and death if I dont keep your secret," He said like a pledge of allegiance, Edward was going to keep Lucian's secret to the grave, he pricked his finger then handed it to Lucian...

“Did it hurt?” was the first thing out of Edward’s mouth as he looked from the scar to my face briefly. I felt like bursting out in full psychopathic laughter. He hasn’t ran yet, that must be something. He’s not screaming… or running away from me. I let go of my clothing, the untucked corner of my clothes sat still untucked. My shaking hand once again reached for my glasses.
“Yeah, it hurt a tonne. Most painful thing,” I murmured, unconsciously ghosting my hand across the covered scar. “The- the transformations are a very, very close second,” I added, shuddering at the mere memory. “But I- I guess being a wolf is really nice!”
“Cool! Also your secret is safe with me!... Also a secret for a secret... You trusted me with a big one... So I'll tell you one…” consider me intrigued, I didn’t think Edward had any skeletons in his closet. I started fiddling with my hair and glasses, rocking softly on the balls of my feet as he started. "Ben... And Ava.... They don't exist, they are my imaginary siblings.... Because I'm an only child…”
I was shocked! Imaginary siblings? Was… was I friends with a nutter?
I shook that thought away. No. Edward is my friend and he was very clearly not okay when his mother grew too busy for him.
“Oh… I wouldn’t have expected that, Edward. As long as you’re happy, really!” I replied, unsure really what to say. What do I say? Sorry you were so lonely you literally created two people to keep you company? That seemed a little insensitive!
Edward suggested we make a promise. “Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, I Edward will keep your secret to death, and death if I dont keep your secret.” he chanted almost. I watched as he pricked his finger, a bead of blood already poking itself through the wound. I glanced nervously at it before taking the needle — who just has a needle under their hat?
“Cross my heart and hope to die, s-stick a needle in my eye, I Lucian, will k-keep your secret to death, and death if I don’t-don’t keep your secret,” I recited, sticking it in my own finger.
We just stood there for a few moments before I walked back to our table. “So, Edward… got your eye on anyone?” I asked, trying to get the mood light again.

"Ouch and Cool! Also your secret is safe with me!... Also a secret for a secret... You trusted me with a big one... So I'll tell you one..."

“Oh… I wouldn’t have expected that, Edward. As long as you’re happy, really!” Lucian said kindly, Edward shrugged it off wanting to get off the topic again. He didn't want pity even though he knew that wasn't what Lucian was doing, he just couldn't help thinking that.
"Let's make a promise!" He said holding up a small needle that he kept stuck on his blue baseball cap.

“Cross my heart and hope to die, s-stick a needle in my eye, I Lucian, will k-keep your secret to death, and death if I don’t-don’t keep your secret,” Lucian recited as well before pricking himself. It was done the secret would have to be kept only known between them, unless otherwise was given permission of course!
There was a awkward silence between them before they both headed back to the tables as if nothing had just happened, they resumed their seating.
“So, Edward… got your eye on anyone?” Lucian asked trying to light up the mood. Edward's ears turned red almost immediately.
"Umm... Yeah... She's a griffin-for... She's a sweet bookworm... What about you?" He asked trying to reflect the attention due to his embarrassment. Edward thought about the girl he had met at the library, they had bonded over books and even went to the Fall ball together. "I used to have a crush on a Huff Puff girl... She was really cool and loved Western films...."
Edward then thought about it, how had he already had two crushes? Did he crush on people too often? Was that normal?... He looked at Lucian awaiting his response, also to get off his own confusing system of love. To be honest, Edward didn't quite understand love in the first place, considering he was only 11, was a little childish and everything he knw came from movies. He technically treated the people he liked like best friends...

I was thankful when he let the subject change, perhaps if he wanted to know more at a later date I would be willing to divulge… but not right now.
So, for some daft reason, I asked who he liked!
“Umm... Yeah... She's a griffin-for... She's a sweet bookworm…,” he answered, although he seemed a little shy. I grinned at him, all returning memories and thoughts about my Lycanthropy pushed to the back of my mind as I focused on having a nice time with my friend!
“Oooo Eddie gotta crush?” I teased, then froze when he asked about me. Yeah, I do.
I thought about her. Her long, brown hair that was curled in all the right places. Her twinkling, hazel eyes and her, either 5ft or taller end of 4ft, stature. The way she got these dimples when she really smiles, how her laugh makes me feel all warm inside and when she looks sad it makes my heart clench.
She is the… the embodiment of greatness! Can’t do no wrong in my eyes, I figure I would go to the end of the earth!
“You listen here good my boy,” Grandad Wesley said to his 8 year old grandson. “We are the only ones that survive in this world. Mudbloods, Half-Bloods and Muggle-Lovers be damned! Half-Breeds n’all! Yet, half-bloods are tricky, son, as their only offence at birth is having a blood traitor for a parent! It corrupts them. I commend anyone that gets a Half-Blood to see the proper way of the Lord - Merlin rest his soul,” the 8 year old taking all this in like there was no tomorrow. “Anyone not pure is trouble, Michael,” the boy grimaced. His Grandad always called him that.
Michael was Grandad’s best mate and where my middle name came from.
No
Piss off Grandad
Right now at least.
She wasn’t a bad one!
I thought back to my first crush. Charlotte. I realised now that I didn’t have a crush on her, I just had loads of feelings for her as she was one of the first people to treat me nicely — even if we only met a few times. We do keep in touch though!
“I used to have a crush on a Huff Puff girl... She was really cool and loved Western films…” Edwards' voice brought me out of my gushing day dream. I went to ask what a “Western film” was but didn’t want to embarrass myself just yet. The poor lad must still be getting over me being a Werewolf, an idiotic, dumb Pureblood, wizard must really top the cake of desertion.
“I may have- have a crush on someone in my house,” I said, extra quietly as if it was a super, top. Should I tell him? I wanted to tell someone! That would be two secrets off my chest and who better to do it with than the person I just did a blood oath with? “Okay, Edward, this falls upon the oath. You cannot tell a single soul until I’ve told her — if I ever do. Understand?” my eyes narrowed slowly as I spoke. “If I find out you've told anyone… I will hunt you down. I will not be merciful. You really will know the meaning of a blood promise !” that may seem harsh… but I cannot lose another friend to my Lycanthropy!
“I may have a crush on… on-” again, I got quieter and leaned to whisper in his ear. “Irina Sousa,” I leaned away from him.
“She’s just so… so perfect, Edward! I just… uh! Her hugs are the best ever, even better than my mum, dare I say! I could just melt in her arms. On- on the days leading up to and after the full moon, I would love to be held in her arms,” I got a wistful look on my face.
Have you ever been hugged by Irina? It is comforting.
I then turned crimson red and—
and then stopped. Why should I be ashamed of my feelings for her? I know I’m only 11 but circumstances and life experiences give a mature perspective sometimes. I can muck around like a good prankster but I know when serious moments don’t call for it.
I know when what I feel is strong and not some- some mind-fling I’ll get rid of in a month.
Grandad Wesley's words filtered back in my easily moldable brain but I shook it off.“Anyone not pure is trouble son,”
“Yes. I have feelings for Irina Sousa,” I announced again, feeling more pride in my words.
Yet, that one word staying there, not to be used yet.

“I may have- have a crush on someone in my house,” Lucian said, extra quietly as if it was a huge secret. “Okay, Edward, this falls upon the oath. You cannot tell a single soul until I’ve told her — if I ever do. Understand?” his eyes narrowed slowly as he spoke. “If I find out you've told anyone… I will hunt you down. I will not be merciful. You really will know the meaning of a blood promise !”
Edward shrugged unbothered by Lucian's threat, another one of Edward's annoying habits. More than half of his responses were shrugs, "I dont know", "Cool beans," and "Groovy!" Edward was a creature of habit to say the least. Lucian's threat made him think of one of his favorite quotes, "I don't respond well to intimidation, it makes me feel icky." Along with, "Some people just need a high-five... In the face ... With a chair..." Let's just say if Lucian tried anything, Edward would give him a high-five. But Edward was not uncomfortably in the Lycanthrope's presence. Edward though the threats were amusing to say the least. Edward brought himself out of his thoughts as to listen to Lucian, Edward wondered if he knew the person Lucian spoke of...
“I may have a crush on… on-” He became quieter and quieter before leaning in to say barely audible. "Irina Sousa."
He immediately leaned away from after dropping the bomb. Edward mouth hung open as he looked Lucian up and down, before smiling goofily trying to hold back a laugh.
"Irina?" Edward asked. It made sense though, Irina was known as one of the playgirls of Hogwarts, she was pretty, smart, and nice but also a troublemaker. She was a heartbreaker. Him and the girl shared a club together and had discussed the Hogwarts's Headline once before. Her charm was undeniable, and neither was Lucian's. Edward ended up just nodding with a small shrug.
"Cool beans," He smiled revealing the small gap in between his two large front teeth, strange yet charming. Then he went on a long rant about how much he liked Irina, and as his friend he was forced to listen, Edward started to find it amusing as he spoke...
“She’s just so… so perfect, Edward! I just… uh! Her hugs are the best ever, even better than my mum, dare I say! I could just melt in her arms. On- on the days leading up to and after the full moon, I would love to be held in her arms,” He got a wistful look on my face. He then turned crimson, and Edward couldn't help but to start laughing, he laughed so hard that he almost cried.
"Jeez, I guess you most really like her mate," Edward said catching his breath. "Sorry for laughing... But it was kind of funny! That's good though, she's a nice person."
“Yes. I have feelings for Irina Sousa,” Lucian said proudly, Edward gave him a pat on the back supporting his friend. "Hey, why should you never break up with a soccer player?...... Because their a keeper!"
Edward laughed at his quick crack of a joke before thinking.
He then thought to himself, did he actually have a crush on the people he thought he did. Honestly by Lucian's words, it didn't sound like a crush like he had perceived, it was more like he was in love with Irina. Edward just smiled, he realized the time was getting late the hours had flown by as they talked to one another.
"Damn! It's getting late!" He said in his American accent gathering up his large stack of books. "See ya later Luce! Talk to ya later, yeah?"
He gave Lucian a quick grin before leaving disappearing where he had come. Edward could tell him and Lucian were gonna be good friends, even if they looked similar, it was weird. BUT! That wouldn't stop Edward from being buds with him. Until next, Good Morning, Good evening, Good Afternoon, and Goodnight.Edward Has Left the Thread
