Don't walk into the light, it's too dark for you there (Phan x Shadowhunters)

"Magnus is here."

The next morning everyone was very quiet, trying not to wake Dan. They were sure that he hadn't slept, they heard him walking through his room all night. Even now they weren't sure if Dan was sleeping but until Magnus was here, they didn't want to push their luck.

"Can you tell me something about that guy that will come into my flat? It's kind of weird for me and I'm still not quite believing it." Of course Phil wanted to know who Magnus was, he was dragged into all of this and Dan's mother wasn't even sure what was gonna happen to Phil. Magnus has told her stories about people that had their memories taken away because their friend was turned into a vampire or a werewolf, surely he could do it with Phil too.

"I met him shortly before Daniel was born, he found out that I was carrying a Warlock child, don't ask me how he found out, but I was glad that he did. He helped me to except Daniel, it wasn't easy for us. His name is Magnus Bane and he's the High Warlock of Brooklyn, I don't know how the system works and how he got that title but I know that he is powerful. Magnus never told me exactly how old he is but he said that he has lived for centuries."

"Wow, centuries? That's a long time."

"Well he's immortal dear. He'll outlive us all. Just like Daniel. Which is probably his biggest problem with all of this."

"He was never the biggest fan of life, I guess. Maybe Magnus can help him."

"Maybe... I hope so at least."

"I'm very sure I can help."

There was Magnus Bane, he walked into the kitchen with, where Phil and Dan's mother were sitting, following him was Dan's father. Phil was surprised by the way Magnus looked. For some reason, he thought Magnus would wear a cape and look more like Dumbledore than like an 18-year-old with too much makeup on his face and like a million rings on his fingers. He looked like a nice guy, though.

Dan's mother jumped up from her seat and greeted Magnus. Phil followed her, even though he didn't really know what to do. How do you introduce yourself to a wizard? How do the people in Harry Potter introduce themselves? Was J.K. Rowling a Warlock too? Those were all questions that were going through Phil's head but none of them really helped him.

"Hello, I'm Magnus Bane and you must be Philip." Magnus was holding his hand in Phil's directions. He was just like every other human being. Well that was easy.

"Ehh, yeah, that's me. I'm Phil." He took Magnus' hand and really started hoping that Dan wouldn't start buying rings now.

"So, where is the young Warlock?"

"He should be in his room, I can go and get him."

"Yes, thank you Phil." Magnus smiled at Phil, he really seemed nice. Phil was relieved as he walked towards Dan's room.

He knocked on Dan's door and waited for Dan to respond.

"What?!" Dan sounded really annoyed and angry. Understandable. His parents had lied to him for 27 years.

"Dan, it's me. Magnus is here." Dan didn't open the door.

"Send my parents away, I don't want to talk to Magnus as long as they are here. You can stay."

Phil walked away from Dan's door and returned to the kitchen.

"Dan wants to talk to Magnus alone. He doesn't want you here. He said that I can stay."

"He wants us to go? I'm not going anywhere." Dan's mother definitely didn't want to go, her face was pale.

"He's right, you should go. I want him to be open to me about his feelings and I don't think he can be if you're here."

"Fine, we'll go." They left the flat, unhappy, but they left.

"Now, let's go and talk to him." Phil nodded and Magnus followed him to Dan's room.
