Hello Kevin, this is Darwin. I've attached a small bit of owl treats for him so that he would stay long enough for you to write a reply. He's not always very friendly.

I also sent you a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean. They're basically jelly beans but they really do have EVERY flavor. So watch out! I just thought you'd like some wizarding world treats since you said your mum wasn't too nice about letting you look around Diagon Alley.

What: Kicking around a futball
Where: His neighborhood park
When: Sunday, July 27, 2017

In just two weeks, Kevin would be leaving for Smeltings. He knew he had to be on top of his game and the weather was perfect today. Ball tucked under his arm, Kevin shouted to his mother that he'd be home later.

When he got down to the park he noted that no one ws around. Daniel had moved to Ireland because his father wanted him to go to his alma mater. Keith was off on vacation. David had broken his leg in a game earlier that summer. With a sigh, Kevin began to kick the ball around hoping that David would materialize.

Who: Kevin Dennahae
What: Kevin snags a fingernail
Where: Dennahae house
When: Saturday, July 12, 2017

Just a few days ago, Kevin had gotten his acceptance letter from Smeltings. He was headed there based solely on his ability to play futball. Of course, his mother was thrilled and wanted to send him. But, before he could go Kevin would need new clothing. At his mother's command, he'd begun to go through his bureau to see what he had that was presentable enough to take to his new school.

As he sorted through his belongings, his mind wandered to the campus visit he'd had. They all seemed so well breed and proper. He was certain he wouldn't fit in. But then, futball had always provided an escape for him. Whenever he'd felt lost, lonely, hurt, or angry he'd always been able to force through it on the field.

Lost in his thoughts, Kevin hadn't realized that his fingernail was snagging. That is, until he pulled it a sweater from the drawer that pulled the nail when he took his hand away. "Holy," he didn't finish as he pulled the finger, nail losed to the quick into his hand. Sucking on it, he pulled the it back out and took a look at the finger which was seeping a small bit of blood out from under the nail. "No wonder girls whine when they break a nail."

Who: Kevin Dennahae and NPC Sheila Dennahae
What: Dinner
Where Dennahae house
When: June 26, 2017


Kevin looked at the clock again. Compared to when they typically ate dinner, it was late. He'd poked through the cabinets and found nothing that didn't require preparation. Slumping down on the sofa, he flipped absently through the channels.

He hated dinner these days. Ever since his father had left, dinner had become an necessary part of life, not something to be relished. More often than not, Sheila brought something home or had a nukable meal ready and waiting. It was a rare occassion when the woman cooked. So, when she breezed through the door and headed about her own business without a word, Kevin never thought twice about it.

"Kevin dear, are you hungry?" his mother's voice floated in from the kitchen in almost a sing song tone.

Dazed and confused, Kevin stood and headed into the other room. Two plates sat on the table loaded up for a real sit down dinner. Sesame chopped steak, green beans, and fresh bread adorned each. Kevin glanced up at his mother, shocked and a bit disappointed in himself because he hadn't even noticed she'd brough groceries in with her. "It looks wonderful," he smiled.

"Thanks," she pulled out her chair and took a seat. "I thought it would be nice to sit down together for once. It seems we havn't done that in a long time."

Kevin didn't know what to say. Ever since Julian left their conversation had been forced. Not because of anything either of them did, it was simply that neither wanted to say anything that might inadvertantly upset the other any further than the divorce, which was still fresh, had. It was in these awkward moments that Kevin wished to be in a room full of people sharing a common meal along with a mix of conversation that could range from extremely meaningful to totally meaningless.

Who: Kevin Dennahae and NPC Sheila Dennahae
Where: An ice cream shop down the road from the Leaky in Muggle London
When: Sunday, June 15, 2017

Kevin had convinced his mum to take him out for ice cream. His favorite spot was a small shop on Charing Cross Road that had a patio out front. He always found the people that walked the street nearby were uniquely dressed. It reminded him a bit of Halloween. Almost as if there was a sect of people that celebrated it everyday. Something about them made him wish to be a part of that world. Especially when he noted that he was about the same age as many of the young people that accompanied the adults.

"Mum, have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a different world?" he asked between bites of his chocolate sundae.

"Kevin, there is no other world. This is the only one we're given," she took a drink of the glass of water that sat between them.

"But what if..." he began only to be cut off.

"There isn't," she stated admantly as she pushed away from the table. "I'll be back," she stood and headed back into the shop for something else.

"...there is?" he finished softly watching yet another youngster in a long flowing robe head down the road.
