Watch where you stand [Daniel]

[dan]

Chris walked into the owlery with a small pile of letters, each addressed to a weasley, there was thing thing with the weasley family, if you didnt send them at least one letter a week then they would end up thinking theres something wrong, and if one his uncles didnt get a letter then they would probably ask his parents if anything happend then they would sent him a letter asking him why he didnt send a letter, anyway it was annoying so it was best to just write a letter make copies then edit it so it sounded like you wrote the letter for them instead of your entire family. Then he trod in some owl poo EVERY SINGLE TIME! chris thought looking at the bottom of his shoe, he just sighed and carried on walking, at lest he didnt have to care about where he stood.

He looked around the owlery for a big brown owl which looked pretty old, he knew it was probably older then him but it had been in the family for as long as Chris could remember, thats when he spotted him, with a whistle he held out his arm and the bird flew down and landed on it. Chris began to tie the letters onto the birds leg and then paused a moment looking for something to write on, he ripped a bit of the envelope off one of the letters and wrote on it 'when received attach note back and send it to the next person' then he tied carefully put that tightly between the string and the letters.

Daniel hated the time of the week where he had to send letters. To be honest, he only did that to look like he cared, but usually didn't recieve an answer. His parents were busy people, and were quite disappointed hin Daniel when he was sorted into Gryffindor, so they didn't show any affection towards him. He was the first of the family to be sorted into the Rival house, so his parents were very angry, and that wasn't good. Over all six years, Dan has written to them telling about school life and things, and his parent's either didn't reply or it was a sentence telling him just the barest of details. He sighed, ran a hand through his ahir and walked up the stairs to the Owlery.

Another reason why Dan wrote the letters was that he coul go in there. Sure it was smelly and pooey, but in a tower, he felt free. Like there's no suspicion and bother, and he was one of the only people to actually send letters, and recieve evry little. Pansy and Theodore always expressed their distaste in how Dan had turned out, so he always felt put dow when it wasn't really his fault. Shouldn't a parent love their child the way they are? Apparently not. Now, Daniel was in the owlery, and he spotted a person there. From the back Dan didn't recognise him, so he went in. 'Who are you sending a letter to?' He asked, before he froze. The guy was a Slytherin, and Daniel had probably made a big mistake.

[dan]

Chris was about to make the owl go and deliver the letters when someone spoke, Chris Span around and the owl on his arm almost fell off if it wasnt for its claws gripping into his rm THA BLOODY HRTS! he yelled in his hid at the bird but he had to stay cool and collected because someone was there, Chris saw a Gryffindor boy possibly a friend of my brother, sister or one of my cousin's he thought then answered the boys question "Family, you?" Chris wasnt in the mood to pick fight and for that the boy was lucky.

But if the guy started anything then Chris would happily kick his ass into the next country. Chris then tuned his attention back to the owl, he shook his arm trying to get the bird to fly off, STUPID BIRD! he thought then got an idea "go deliver it to my dd" he said then reached into a bag of bird feed, of course it wasnt a treat the birds allways got fed that and with one big throw the feed flew out of his hand and threw a window in the roof where owls would leave and enter, the owl on Chris's arm flew after the food taking a bit of his robe with it darn bird he said looking at his arm, he had claw marks where a chunk of his robes had been ripped off.

Dan couldn't help but smile a little at the boys clumsiness. Dan himself was quite clumsy at time, abut the Slytherin boy before him looked quite funny. Danny hoped that the guy wouldn't notice his smile. 'Uh, Parents.' Dan said, coming out of his moment, and composing him self. He put his fingers to his tounge, and blew a whistling sound. A moment later his black owl started flying towards him. He smiled at Wolverine, it was his name, and gently attached his letter. Daniel walked towards the window, the owl on his arm. When he approached it, he put his arm out, and let Wolverine go.

Dan watched in fascination at the owl that was so untrained, 'don't you get sick of your owl? It's behaved so badly.' Daniel frowned, as he turned around. He leaned against the window frame, crossing his arms and looking quite amused. If the Slytherin started anything, Daniel would be able to take care of himself ver well.

[dan]

Chris smirked slightly as he heard the boy's answer, it had been what he had expected, luckily for Daniel, Chris had been to preoccupied with the owl to even notice his smile "Thought so, i hate writing letters" he said randomly stating a fact, he wasnt sure what to say to be honest, this had been the first time a gryffindor boy had ever approached him kindly, well one he wasnt related to. do i be mean or wit untill he does something to mke me mean he thought deciding to go for the second option.

"No, i think he was putting up a show because you were there, hes part of the family, has been for.. well as long as i can remember" He said with a smirk Erroll Jr, apparently his father was just as bad he thought finding it hard to imagine. "how about your owl, how much of a goody two shoes is it?" he asked smirking slightly, finding himself slipping into his more Slytherin attitutde.

Daniel though about the boy's words for a second or two, then looked at him a meaningful expression on his face. 'Who doesn't?' Dan asked sweetly. He looked at the boy. Daniel looked at him from his homosexual point of veiw, and to be honest he wasn't attracted to him. And that was a relief, becuase it would have been a disaster if he was attracted to a Slytherin. He was glad that there were much better looking guys here, so he didn't have to look at people like him. Danbiel betrayed none of this on his face though.

Daniel smirked. He has heard of the weasley owl reputation from his parents. It was a comedy waiting to happen, and it was funny. 'Wow, I'm glad I'm that special.' Daniel said sarcasticly, he didn't mean to come out so mean but it happened, but after a second, he was past that. 'Well, I prefer well behaved owls, so Wolverine is the biggest goody two shoes for an owl, at least he's not clumsy.' Daniel shot back, with a grim expression on his face, yes the Slytherin boy was revealing the stereotypical Slytherin persona.

[dan]

Chris smirked and let out a laugh at the guy's reply this guys alright, but hes a Gryffindor.. he thought then said "The headmistress" he then shrugged slightly, Chris had got many letters from the headmistress, most of them saying 'report to my office straight away' or something along them lines.

"Oh your not that special, if you have few treats he'll do anything for anyone" Chris stated simply but he had noticed the boys sarcasm greedy owl, and thank god hes being a bit more.. Gryffindor.. i'd hate to find a Gryffindor guy friendly, apart from my family of course he thought watching the boy "Wolverine.." Chris said then paused then continued "does he have retractable claws?" he asked with a small smirk forming on his face.

[daniel]

Danny let out a chuckle, which weirdly enough, agreed with the Sytherin. He was sure that the Headmisstress loved sending letters, however he has never got one, for bad behaviour. He did get one when he was announced prefect, but then it was that one time, and he was kind of glad. In truth, he found the Headmisstress office kind of uncomfortable, not that he'd tell anyone.

Daniel felt a blush creep up onto his cheeks, and he looked down. Damn, how could he let that Slytherin make him feel embarrassed, butt he truth was that he had an obsession with X-Men when he was younger, so he decided to call his owl that. But then Danny looked up, and smiled, 'I never thought that Slytherin would know of a muggle movie' Dan said, exaggerating thw rod movie, just because most Slytherins didn't know what it was. As he was smiling, the scar on the left side on his face was clearr than ever, but Daniel barely noticed it these days.

[dan]

Chris smiled as the boy chuckled oh yeah im a comic genius he thought sarcastically to himself which then made him pause to think did i just insult myself? he decided not to ponder it because if he did he knew he would probably just end up more and more confused, he often got confused because of something he thought so decided it was best his thoughts didnt interrupt what he had to say, unless they were pretty important thoughts.

"A muggle movie?? Chris said smirking then added "I own the comics" it was actually true, he had been a bit of a reader in his younger days constantly reading comics about superheros and books about dragons, because who doesn't want super powers and Dragons.. well there just awesome. Chris wasnt ashamed that he had comics his parents had been glad he was interested in something that was.. well muggle and he had to admit if the pictures in the comics moved that would have made the comics a lot more cooler.

[daniel]

Dan wathced the boy carefully, and was taken aback by his knowledge of things muggle, but then Danny mentally slapped him self. Of course. The boy had a grand father that was muggle things crazy, so no wonder he knew something like that. Daniel felt a bit embarrassed by that realisation, the heat seeping up his neck, and into his face. His green eyes looked down, but then Daniel gained composure. He widened his eyes and said; 'Really? That's so amazing,' And shaking his heas, to show that she was only being sarcastic.

Daniel realised that he didn't like the Weasley kid, and he was kind of ashamed of that because he hadn't done anything to him, and so there was no reason to, but mayeb the whole lion and snake rivalry was just their, in their blood. Otherweise, the boy would actually be quite cool to be mates with, since he knows his comics and muggle things, which really makes him less prejudiced against muggles, but he might be prejudiced in other ways.

[dan]

Chris smirked slightly when Daniel was sarcastic its about time, now we dont have to like each other he thought then nodded and said "with a grandfather like mine you read whatever he has lying around" Chris smirked slightly, he used to read the comics and his grandparents as they were the only decent thing there and it was that or his Grandfather would tell him everything about every muggle thing there is.. or his Grandmother would teach him how to cook and clean and household stuff, he didnt mind the cooking that much and the cleaning has come in handy with the detentions but he had to admit at the time it was a bit boring.

Speaking of food i might go head down to the kitchens later he thought as he felt the gaping hole in his stomach of hunger. "So... i didnt catch your name" Chris said woundering what the guy was called as recently people were getting weirder and weirder names, like Kaleb and Jaslene .. but to be fair some of the weird names did sound pretty, Jaslene being one of them. Kaleb.. what kind of name is that?
