 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Brandon Fox was a growing kid, and that meant he was constantly hungry. He preferred to keep it a secret in case it would get him in trouble, but he was constantly slipping into the kitchens to get himself more food. It was usually just something simple, like a small sandwich or a piece of fruit. He was afraid to take more. But he was just so hungry. Today, one of the house elves had seen him, and that's why he had a delicious foil-wrapped Philly cheesesteak in his hand. He was grateful. He slipped out of the kitchen again, heading to the great hall to eat. And that was when he ran right into a professor, accidentally shoulder checking them. A NEW professor, no less.
"Sorry, Professor Adara," he said tensely. Shrinking away, all scared-looking. "It was an accident." Brandon tried to give his professors and other adults in charge some credit, but his instinct said bumping into people with his shoulder and having extra food when he hadn't asked meant a punishment was incoming. He stuck the wrapped-up sandwich behind his back, because he didn't want her to take away his food. The house elves made it just for him!! |
