Chapter One

Harry Potter Glasses

"Dan! Have you seen my Gengar t-shirt?" I yelled from my room. Gengar, even though he was cottony and inanimate, definitely didn't want to come out and play today.

"Can't you wear another shirt? We're going to be late!" Dan called back. I could hear him shuffling in the hallways, trying to jam his feet into his high-tops. Dan, my flat-mate, was very punctual. Actually he was very OCD about a lot of things, like those damn cupboards he was always telling me to close. Me? Not so much. I threw on another t-shirt, giving up finding Gengar and threw on my shoes.

"Alrighty, let's go." Dan smiled at me, all white teeth and dimples. I shrugged on my coat and we headed out the door towards the BBC studio. We almost tripped over our usual sleeping hobo along the way, who rolled over and cursed at us in nonsensical word salad.

"You know if he chose somewhere better to sleep than a public pavement, than he wouldn't have to curse so many people out every day." I said.

"He probably gets off on it." Dan pointed out.

We proceeded down the street, coming to the boxy building that was BBC Radio 1. "I'll go get our schedules." Dan volunteered. I hung around the doorway, enjoying this weird heat wave that should've made London sludgy and cold this time of year, but instead made it pleasant and almost humid.

"Are you AmazingPhil?" I turned around to a girl probably no older than thirteen. She was wearing thick, round-rimmed glasses that may or may not have made her resemble Harry Potter's weird little sister and had frizzy honey-colored hair. She had her hands laced in front of her and was looking at me sheepishly.

"I am!" I said excitedly. I loved meeting fans. They made my insides happy. Especially younger ones. They were so innocent and cute. "What's your name?"

"Eden." She answered and smiled, revealing a large gap between her two front teeth.

"Eden. I like your name!" I said.

"I like your name." She answered, playing with her hands.

"Nah, my name is boring. What's your favorite video?"

"Um," She looked down at her shoes. "Probably-,"

"We're ready, Phil." Dan said, thrusting our schedule into my hands.

"I'm sorry to cut you off, but I gotta go do the radio show, will you listen in?"

She was peering over her glasses at Dan, she looked almost angry. "Yes, I always listen in, Phil." She said curtly and then turned and walked off.

"That was rude." I turned to Dan.

"What are you talking about? I saved you!"

"You did not! She was in the middle of saying something."

"Well, we gotta go anyway." Dan said as he headed for the door. I turned, looking for Eden, but I didn't see her. Oh well. It was only one fan, right?

"What the hell is this?" Dan picked up an envelope as we walked into our flat. "How did someone get our address? We send everything to our PO boxes." He handed me the letter that was addressed to Mr. AmazingPhil in big, loopy handwriting.

"Someone dropped it off personally." I murmured, looking at the empty space where the postage stamp should be.

"Open it. Maybe it'll say who it's from." Dan shrugged. With one movement I shoved my finger in the corner and ripped the top open. The paper itself was bright blue stationary with Pon Pon Purin in the corner, but there was no writing, just a drawing of a smudgy tree with an apple hanging from its branch in red ink.

"Your fans are crazy." Dan muttered as he assumed his usual position in his gaming chair in front of the TV and started the new game he just bought.

"My fans." I laughed. "Your fans send you pictures of penises. At least this one's innocent." I looked down at the picture again. There was something wrong with it, somehow. This wasn't a usual fan drawing. There was something about this that seemed well, dark.

Don't be silly, Phil. It's a tree with an apple. Whoever sent it probably thought I wasn't getting enough Vitamin A in my diet and wanted to remind me to eat my fruit from sustainably grown trees.

That was definitely it.

I hoped.
