Open Wonder Holiday

[Charlie Jacobs]

Charlie's summer holidays had been interesting so far. He had celebrated Christmas and New Year's with his cousins, his extended family on his father side. They kept talking about their semester had Hogwarts so far. Charlie was excited for his turn to go to Hogwarts. He wanted to see what the school was like. What the school that all his cousins were going to and experience something similar to what he was going to experience. Charlie, however, was getting lonely again, as his cousins were about to go back to Hogwarts after their break. Yeah, he had his younger brothers, but that wasn't really the same if he was honest.

Charlie had decided to once again go to the park while the rest of his family was off somewhere around the village. This time instead of bringing his skateboard, he was going to bring one of his favourite superhero comic books. Charlie has a HUGE love for superheroes. He could go on for hours and hours on end talking about his favourite heroes. There was just so many unique and cool heroes that he could list that would be his favourite. Charlie entered the park, looking around for an area to sit or hang around in. He had decided to take a seat on one of the swings that were at the park. There were slightly more people than he thought there would be. But he didn't mind it. As Charlie took a seat on the swing, he opened up his comic book and started to read, in his own little world, almost blocking everything around him.

 

[Benji Killian]

Benji hated that he had left his friend back in France. He had been looking forward to going to Beauxbaton when the next school year rolled around, but his maniacal stepfather dashed those dreams. Jamie was, of course, not evil, not really. He had decided it was time for the two of them to move back closer to where he grew up. After Benji's biological father died, it was Jamie who became his full-time guardian.

It had been a bumpy two years, and Benji missed his dad a lot. His dad had a bad heart that nothing could fix, not even magic. So while it was too soon to say goodbye, it was not all of a sudden. Even knowing his dad was dying did not make it any easier. His dad did not want his favorite two boys to be sad, so they did everything together in those last few months. They went on adventures around the world, and when the fun was all had, they said their goodbyes with sad smiles on their faces.

Jamie had some work to do, so he told Benji that he should check out the local park. His father said it was a magical place though Benji believed that was something Jamie told him to get Benji outside. Jamie said that he once played in that very same park and made some of his best friends there. Benji figured he would check it out to be safe.

When he arrived, he noticed a few kids running about but only one on the swings. He always liked the swings. It always felt like he could fly when he jumped off of them. Sitting down next to a boy reading a comic book, Benji looked over at the book in his hand. Curiosity got the best of him, "What are you reading?" Benji asked as he looked over at the boy.

[Charlie Jacobs]

Charlie was in his own world of the comic book world when he had heard a voice beside him on the swing. He looked up and noticed that it was a boy about his age. "Oh hi." Charlie smiled at the boy. He then looked down at his comic book when the boy had asked him what book he was reading. "Oh, It's a comic book. A comic book about this superhero called Spider-man. He's one of my favourite superheroes actually" Charlie says enthusiastically, as he talked about one of his favourite superheroes, as he shows the cover of one of the Spider-man comics that he had bought with him today. He had many, many comic books at home. He loved the comic book collection that he had. Charlie just loved anything related to superheroes, even though there were some people who think it was weird. He could go on and on talking about superheroes. He then looks at the boy again. "What's your name?"
