This was a drabble written for the challenge community, mysticforce100, on livejournal. It is a combination of two challenges - to use the word cereal and to reference Harry Potter in some way. I may yet expand this past the 100 words.
I live in England and so haven't seen any episodes of Mystic Force yet, so if there are any terrible mistakesin either continuity or character personality, please let me know.
-Shield-
Everyone thinks he's weird. But he doesn't really mind.
Nobody bothers the kid who has four kinds of sugar on his cereal. Who wears a cape. Who wanted to play quidditch in gym class.
Nobody looks past the weirdness to see the little kid who tries so hard to please his Uncle.
The kid who sometimes cries at night because he misses his parents.
The kid who still has nightmares about their deaths.
Not even his best friends see past it. He uses it as a shield, and it works, and everyone thinks he's weird.
But Chip doesn't really mind.
