hello! hey! hi! yo! okay, i think that's enough hellos. you who have gone without can just pretend i said those to you, yeah? alright, thanks. anyway, the name's simon reed kendall. yeah, pretty fancy, eh? well, it really isn't that long a story. see, simon is my dad's name. yeah, you are already bored. i'm a standard, named after my daddy. wanna hear the funny part? no? well, i'm going to tell you anyway. y'unno, my middle name? reed? well that's my mum's name. yeah i know right! absolutely bloody unique. simon reed kendall. poster child. now, you can't say you haven't heard of me, can you? you haven't? seriously? well, sit back then, and get comfortable. i've got a long story to tell you.

it all begins with two very different, and yet very powerful families. one, you have probably heard of. the abercrombie family. see! we are getting somewhere. the abercrombie family is a very highly prestigious pureblood family. each and every member of their family was sorted into gryffindor, and each and every one went on to become a brilliant wizard. now, of course, i'm not directly related to the abercrombie's. no, my great great great grandmother was one, before she married my triple great grandfather, a muggle. who then in turn married a muggle, and then a muggle and a muggle. and that last muggle was the father of my mum. nicole andrea forrester, that's her name. she's a muggle, too bad for her. but i suppose she wouldn't have met my father if she hadn't been.

now, my father's side of the family is a little different. they've never had a drop of magical blood in them. the kendall family is powerful without magic. my grandfather, yeah he was the vice president of australia. brilliant! and then my dad, well, he owned kendall industries. yeah, it sounds pretty bland and boring, but it's actually quite interesting. you see, kendall industries isn't some giant factory, no. it's the largest muggle clothing line out there right now. my dad's reeling in millions of dollars. puts me in a good place, eh?

although, when my parents met, kendall industries was just a dream. my father was in university, queens of course. didn't really have the marks, but he certainly had the money. and my mum, well her family wasn't too bad in the money situation either. but she did have the intelligence for the school. in fact, i believe she would have been a ravenclaw if she was a witch.

i'm sure you don't want to hear the story of their meeting, their wedding, blah blah blah. i certainly don't want to tell it, i've heard it thousands of times. so i'll just skip to march eighteenth. the day i was born.

apparently, i was a pretty damn awesome baby. i didn't cry much, didn't spit my food all over the place and never tugged on the dogs tail, like my cousins did every time they came over for a visit. and growing up, i was pretty normal too. i lived in my muggle house, in my muggle neighbourhood with my muggle family. and my parents or i knew absolutely nothing about magic.

i showed my first sign of magic when i was eight years old. i was visiting the local zoo with my mum while my dad was away on a business call for the company, and we passed a man holding man balloons. i wanted one, but my mother had nothing but a debit card on her, and the man only accepted cash. i whined and screamed and threw a temper tantrum the size of brat, and suddenly, i had a balloon. just like that. the other people around us thought i was part of the zoo, a magician. my mum had no idea what to say.

and we never really knew what to make of all the little things i could do until my hogwarts letter arrived. at first we thought it was a joke and ignored it, until a woman came to our door. she said she was the headmistress of the school, and told us all about magic, and my mother's family. my parents were surprised, and thrilled. my mother had no idea about her ancestors having magic. she didn't keep in contact with many family members. and then before i knew it, i was off to hogwarts.

i think the scariest thing i had ever done was sitting on that stool in front of the entire school with that ridiculous hat hanging over my eyes. i was praying that i wouldn't get embarrassed, or be put in ravenclaw. i had heard a bit about the houses, and was scared that ravenclaw would overload me with work. yeah, my eleven year old mind sure had it's priorities. and the hat had laughed at me, and told me i certainly wasn't ravenclaw material at all. and after that, i was deemed a hufflepuff.

being a badger for seven years pretty much meant i could stay under the radar. there was still a lot of house prejudice going on, and i really didn't want to be apart of it. so i spent the first couple years just reading books a lot, talking to people from all different houses. it really wasn't until my fourth year where i made any real friends, and strangely, we all happened to be from a different house. our little group of mismatched students. these people were my life.

when i was in my fifth year of hogwarts, i joined the paper angels. they hadn't become anything yet, just a bunch of students playing around with spells, trying to create ones that would help the wizard world. i really liked creating spells, decided that was going to be my future. i thought the paper angels would really help me develop the proper skills i would need. until that one day, where a young girl came crying about her brother being killed, and that we should do something about it. after that day in my seventh year, the paper angels became dedicated to only doing reincarnations. i didn't agree with it. the weasley kid, yeah. but not all those other people. they were dead, their time was done. so i quit.

after that, i sort of went through school in slow motion. my friends wanted nothing to do with me; i quit the paper angels after all. i spent my time inventing spells and trying to tell my father that i did not want to take over the family business. sure, i know how to dress myself. but i'm not going to make clothes for the rest of my life, that's chick stuff.

i immediately applied to become a professor when i graduated high school. i wanted to teach charms, and i was declined. i was too young. they told me to come back again when i was a little older. so i did, for the last three years. again and again. and now, i'm the librarian. sure, it isn't glamorous. but the female students aren't complaining about the rather attractive twenty-one year old librarian. and hey, not the other way around either. the girls at hogwarts are pretty damn fine.
