PETS Gwen an elf owl, Lux a tuxedo cat. ABILITIES None as of yet, though non-verbal magic comes easily to him Tell me who you are, I'm sure you're some kind of superstar. Free Style I bet when you hear the name Icarus you picture this stupid kid that flys into the sun and falls to his death. Well, I'm not that Icarus, even though there are times where I wish I was. I guess I should start at the beginning, maybe then you'll understand why. You know those love stories that make you sick because they are just too precious? Well this is one of those stories, the story of Eluned Jephson and Cleitus Llewellyn, better known to me as Mum and Da. She was that shy trainee Auror and he was that young and fearless mentor, fifty-seven dates, one ring, and two years later I came along. I've come to the conclusion that being named after my great-grandfather was preemptive punishment for any trouble I was going to cause them in years to come, after all who names their kid Icarus? There was always talk of a baby brother or sister when I was younger but it wasn't in the stars. Mum cried for years over it and I never understood why, not till later, I just remember my tiny hands trying to wrap around her's and asking to see Mummy's smile. I almost wish I'd understood enough to actually say something helpful. I never got a brother or sister but I had plenty of cousins, problem is most these cousins didn't have a bloody idea what I was. See the thing is Mum and Da have blood so mixed that its hard to say what I have more of; muggle or wizard? So until I understood that magic was a secret I didn't get the chance to know most my family. Mum and Da had talked about putting me into muggle school for a while. I guess they decided against it in the end thinking it best not to have to work out some excuse as to where I headed off to when I turned 11. Maybe I missed out, or maybe I didn't. Guess we'll never know. Instead Mum gave up being an Auror and stayed with me. She taught me everything she could to prepare me for the years that were coming. I was like a sponge, I wanted to absorb everything word she spilled to me. We read book after book on anything and everything. Deep sea creatures, potions, wand cores, runes, flight, and even books that talked of ways to see into the future. I started to read anything I could get my hands on. I never thanked my Mum enough for what she did for me, I wish I had. It wasn't long before I turned 11 and the letter came, it was no surprise, I'd shown my magic young but still it brought my mother to tears. I knew I was going to do everything I could to make her proud. Mum and Da had told me countless times about their first journey to platform nine and three quarters, how they made some good friends on that very first train ride and how they sat with excitement under the dingy old hat. But their stories in no way prepared me for what my actual experience was going to be like. That was the first day I saw her, a face I was never going to forget. Her bright red hair was what caught my eye. I hardly had any nerve to talk to the girl, she seemed so at ease and so sure of herself, everything I was not. I guess I neglected that small detail about how I'm not exactly the most sure of himself guy in the world. I'm not that guy who people pick first for teams, I'm the one they pick last and mostly out of sympathy because we're friends. See, books were more my friends then actual other children. You see why I left this out? To save myself further embarrassment, just assume I am nothing less then a dork, lets leave it at that. I kept my nose buried in a book for most of the journey, it helped to pass the time and saved me the stress of trying to make friends with people who might just turn their back on me because we didn't end up in the same house. Not that the idea bothered me any, being friends with people outside of what ever house I ended up in, but you hear enough rumors to know that certain people don't care to mix with people such as myself. My actual sorting gave the ceremony a bit of a stall, I guess between my loyalty and passion for knowledge I was a bit of a hard sort of the hat. In the end I was seated with Ravenclaw and I found myself hopeful of meeting others like myself. This was when I saw her again, those red locks being fitted under the ratty cloth I'd hoped she would have been sorted with me, that maybe then I would be able to actually work up some nerve to talk to her, but that wasn't what happened. While I had thought life was going to be some adventure now that I was in school it wasn't. It was report after report after report. I did well enough and was thankful when the term finally came to an end. My first summer break. I really wish I'd not been so eager for the year to end. Since I'd gone to school my Mum had taken up her old job again. You never really think about how many bad wizards and witches there are out there. They seem like works of fiction that are never going to touch you. To me, my Mum was invincible, but to them she was not. I don't even know why it happened, or even how. Being twelve there was little I could have done, banned from doing magic outside of school, not that I would have been any good at that age anyways, but maybe...maybe I could have saved her, some how. They'd barged in, she didn't even have time to draw her wand before she was on the ground pooled in blood. Da was at work. I guess they spared me, figured it wasn't my fight. I begged her not to go.... Everything changed after that. I never wanted to see anyone I loved die like that again, I guess that was when I decided I was going to be an Auror some day, just like Mum. I focused most of my time on my studies, I was more then determined to make sure I got every mark needed to reach my goal. I never did make too many friends, but those I did make, well I treasure them like family. I still blame myself when it comes to Mum...I know I shouldn't because what could I have done? But I still do. I try and look after Da, but its hard when we are so far apart. It's been almost six years since it happened, but its not the sort of thing that you can just get over. I just hope that she know that I'm try and that she is proud of me. Let's us all just be friend, And together we can start a new trend.
