Chapter One - The Letter

Muggle-born Phil Lester is delighted to receive his letter to Hogwarts, and he instantly befriends Dan Howell, the first wizard of his age he meets. But something isn't right about Dan. Why does he go through sudden (and sometimes violent) mood swings? What secrets are hiding behind his confident mask? Phil is determined to uncover the truth, no matter what the consequences are.

Note- I know that Dan and Phil are different ages, but for literary purposes (and so that Phil wouldn't be at school during the wizarding war) I have made them both Dan's age.
