Hey guys. I know I was never on here and stuff. But I was wondering if anyone would like my bio and account?

If you do, just PM me. And I'll give over the password.

Thanks. I just know I won't be on here.

Dan picked up a book on Thestrals. He was always interested in Thestrals. He heard a noise behind him and spun around. It was just a girl. In the process he knocked over a huge stack of books, and they went flying.  All over his and the girl's feet. He blushed instantly.

"I'm so sorry, dear!" He said right away.

(In Diagon Alley)
Dan walked into Flourish & Blotts early in the morning, ready to find another great story to immerse himself in. He was staying near Hogwarts for the summer, not ready to go home and meet his mother's new boy friend. He had barely accepted his father's death, and his mother had already moved on. He also felt like there was something here, something that drew him to the school. Like a magnet drawn to metal. He couldn't control it, there was just a natural pull.

On this day he wore a simple red t-shirt, jeans, and and green converse. He was comfortable in these clothes, just as he was comfortable around the books.He wandered among the books, looking for something to spark his interest. He brushed his bangs out of his eyes, and decided to climb the stairs to the upper floor of the shop. Books on plants, animals, spells, charms, potions... Nothing caught his interest. He just needed a distraction. Something to preoccupy his time. Dan depended on books. They had been his best friend for a while. Ever since he was young he had a hard time making friends. As a young child he had a stutter, and was no good at sports. Other kids shied away from him.

He was fairly alone in the store, and was still searching for a good book.

Dan crossed his arms, smiling, his eyes happy as well. "That would be great!" He said "And it would be nice to learn more elemental stuff." He said towards both of them.

The wind was blowing very hard. His hair moved around erratically.

Dan was wowed by what she could do. He hadn't really seen that much, good magic. What his mother could do was ordinary, but this was extraordinary. He loved learning, he loved magic, he already loved this school. All schools need to be this amazing. He thought.

"Me too." He replied shortly.
"So, I haven't explored campus much, what's cool around here?" He asked, a topic that he had wanted to bring up for a while, but didn't want to sound like a lost first year in asking so.

At school. Staring across the room.
At my best friend. The one who ditched me.
My best friend, my secret crush.
The one who won't talk to me anymore.

He smiled at Billie. It was nice to be accepted. "It's not hard, but that wasn't my best." He shook his head. "As I said, I was home schooled" He looked at the ground. The wind blew some stray leaves by them. They were brown and dead, yet beautiful.

He smiled at them, and their light-hearted nature. Funny and kind. Despite the cold weather, the atmosphere was warm, felt like home. Stacey, Billie, Heather, Pete, and Alexis... all of them, happy and kind to a new student. He was used to an unforgiving cold world, not the kindness of strangers.

He decided to show off his power with plants. He leaned down and put his palm on the ground. He closed his eyes and concentrated. The ground grew warm under his touch, and as he lifted his hand a small bush grew. With light green leaves, and purple flowers. The flowers bloomed one at a time. It was the only thing he could think of at the moment, and it wasn't his best.

"I'm mediocre with fire, ok with water, but I'm fairly good at plant type stuff." He said, and in a nervous habit way, brushed his hand through his hair.
He saw two students approached, and smiled at them. "Nice to meet you."

((Who's gay?))

Snow/Ice day today! NO SCHOOL!  :P

"Well, I was home schooled by my Mum for years, my dad was a muggle, so we hid in our attic for lessons."  He smiled. "I'm suck with my wand." His green eyes glistened, as he spoke.

As the snow leopard approached it turned into a woman. He guessed she was in her late teens, she had brown hair, almost the same shade as his, and was average height. He stood up again, and stuck out his hand, "Dan Miles, Nice to meet you, Stacey" He was being as polite as he could. Trying to make a good impression.

Dan grinned as Alexis high-fived him. He looked back into pretty green eyes, almost the same shade as his. "Oh yeah, everyone's been so welcoming, and the teachers here are brilliant." He sat back down on the bench. The nice breeze was slowly turning into a full on wind. His short brown hair grew wilder in the wind.

He suddenly noticed a snow leopard approach them. This would have shocked, and possibly scared him a few days ago, but a few of his roommates explained some of the oddities of the school to him. That's what he got for growing up in the muggle world. He felt so closed in most of the time, so disconnected from who he truly was.

It still was astounding that a person could just transform like that. This world truly was magical.

"Yeah, I got here two days ago. Dan Miles." He stood up and stuck out his hand for Heather, and the girl whose name he had not yet learned. He smiled at them. So welcoming already. He didn't really think that most people would be that kind to him, before they even knew anything about him. Not even his name. Hogwarts might just be his chance, his one last shot to make something of himself.

Dan was breathing deep as he ran. He was a little out of shape, but on the other hand, he was pushing it. Sprinting still gave him the same runners high as always. It was bitterly cold, so he didn't get too hot. He stopped to take a breath. He wore long gray sweat pants and a red plain t-shirt.

He sat down on a bench, trying to smooth his breathing, smiling. He was happy for the first time in a long time. It was such a nice place. The grounds were beautiful, the people were nice, and the teachers were amazing. He had learned so more in the last week than he had in seven months of homeschooling. God, he felt like such a freak back then.

He still sat admiring the grounds, and breathing in the cold winter air.

Ok, once again thanks, everyone for being so nice, and helping me out!
