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

"More like Dumbledore"

They knocked on Dan's door but he didn't answer.

"His door is locked, I guess we have to wait." Phil was about to sit down in front of Dan's door.

"Are you kidding me? For a warlock, there are no locked doors." With a small move of his blue glowing hand, Magnus opened the lock. Dan was lying in his bed, his eyes were red. He cried. Phil felt bad, even though he knew that he hadn't done anything.

"Daniel Howell, I am Magnus Bane. You wanted to talk to me?" Dan sat up in his bed.

"You're Magnus?" Dan looked at Magnus with the same shock that Phil had on his face when he first met Magnus.

"No, I'm just pretending to be him. Listen, I can go, if you don't want help."

"No, no, no. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I just imagined you to be much older." More like Dumbledore.

"Warlocks stop aging at a random age. For you, it's 27. For me, it was 18. We're lucky, we'll stay young forever."

"Lucky? I don't think we're lucky. I definitely don't want to live forever."

"You'll get used to it. I admit that it takes a while but there are not only down sides. You can use magic for literally everything."

"Aren't you lonely? When you see all your friends and lovers die?" Dan glanced at Phil only for a second but it made Phil feel uncomfortable. He hadn't thought about this yet, but he would grow old and Dan wouldn't.

"Well first of all there are plenty of warlocks and vampires you can befriend and for the rest, you just have to learn to let go. But don't worry, as long as I'm alive, you won't be lonely."

Dan let out a sarcastic "Great." Magnus laughed.

"You'll get used to me."

"So you don't have any human friends?"

"I have a lot of human acquaintances. My boyfriend is a Shadowhunter, you don't have to stop becoming friends with mortal people, they just can't find out that you're a warlock. Humans can't know about the downworld."

"My dad said that there are ways to make someone immortal, mortal again."

"Well he lied to you. Believe me, I tried. When you have a mortal boyfriend, you start thinking about ending your life like everybody else. It's not possible but I can help you and I will help you."

"You can't help me, leave me alone."

"I helped someone before you. His name is Raphael Santiago, but he's not a warlock, he's a vampire." Dan looked at him and rolled his eyes.

"And how is he anything like me?"

"Raphael got turned into a vampire when he was 15 years old. He has not aged since. He will always stay a 15-year-old. But that wasn't his problem. He thought of himself as a monster. His mother told me back then to help him, she was worried. Long story short, he's the leader of the New York vampire clan now and almost like a son to me, but most importantly he's still alive." Magnus knew exactly that that was what Dan was thinking, if he can't die a natural way, he'll just have to help himself when the time comes but that was never the right thing to do.

Btw this fanfiction plays after the events of the last book with the differnce that Raphael is still alive and Simon is still a daylighter.
