Doran was still smiling after they were off of the phone. It was nice to know that he was making a friend this fast because he honestly wasn’t sure that he would for at least the first two months. He did think of his Quidditch mates as friends but those were more like work friends rather than...

"It's nice to know that I've got someone I can rely on. Someone who'll catch me if I fall," Doran joked, thinking it was better just to make jokes about it. When they met at the park he already figured that Elizabeth wouldn't let him forget about it. And after dropping his phone, he knew that...

For a second Doran thought that he had broken the phone but then he could Elizabeth’s voice coming out of the device again. Letting out a sigh of relief, he made the boxes float to the other side of the room and placed them in a corner. ‘’Oh, yeah, me and the ground are becoming fast friends,’’...

Doran smiled, trying to move through his bedroom while maintaining concentration on two moving boxes to keep them up in the air. His new room was a mess still and it was honestly a miracle that he could move through it without tripping over something. ‘’I like Chinese and Indian. Really, I’m not...

Doran wasn’t sure if his voice came through the little Muggle contraption until he heard the girl’s voice answer him. ‘’Yeah, that would be me,’’ he said with a laugh. He could hear a lot of background movement at the other end of the line and wondered if that was normal or not. Honestly, how...

Doran never really used the Muggle phone his parents had gotten him because he never had to use it before. He did now. And it took him at least half an hour to figure out how to turn the device on and dial the only phone number ever given to him. Couldn't she have just given him her home address...

Doran did laugh at Beth’s words this time, thinking that she might be right if he didn’t switch paths again. At least he knew now so he wouldn’t make the same mistake again. He was surprised that she give him her phone number and almost didn’t want to continue to run in case he might sweat it...

Doran held back a laugh at Beth’s words and moved out of the way for her. Even though he was kind of keen to get the conversation going, more so because he was new here and didn’t really know anyone else, he also didn’t want to hold her up in case she had other things to do. And he also wasn’t...

Doran closed his eyes and chuckled slightly. She was not going to let him forget about this anytime soon he reckoned. ‘’I started running only recently. My jobs required me to stay in shape but I don’t do it every other day though.’’ He couldn’t even imagine how sore he’d feel if he had to run...

Doran took Elizabeth’s hand and shook it, smiling sheepishly at her. ‘’Right, how dumb of me to miss that entirely,’’ he joked, slapping his hand to his forehead. He was happy that the girl seemed to be lighthearted about it because he still felt a bit bad for running into her as hard as he had...

Glad to see that the girl seemed to be fine too, Doran relaxed a little. He would have genuinely felt bad if she got hurt because he was not paying attention. ‘’Ha-ha, I see what you did there,’’ he said, shaking his head a little but still smiling. ‘’I’m Doran, by the way. I’m sort of new here...

Doran didn't feel anything that indicated to him that he was in pain but as a Quidditch player, he often didn’t feel a thing until he checked for it. He didn’t think his well-being was all that important at the moment, though. They had run into each other pretty hard, and since it was quite...

If Doran had not been so distracted by his own thoughts, he reckoned he could have avoided running into the other person. Had he actually known that he wasn't allowed to walk or run on the side of the path he was on, he would have probably avoided the accident all together. But he was distracted...

Doran was still getting used to his new surroundings when he went out that morning to get some exercise done before he would have to help his Dad clear out the old shed behind the house. His parents had moved to New Zealand about a couple of weeks ago and were kind enough to offer him one of the...
