The Mudblood Knight

Prologue

It was a rainy Sunday in England. There was a boy sleeping in, listening to the raindrops fall on his window; the sound was very relaxing, which made it difficult for him to get off of the floor.

"Aaron?" he heard someone call his name, knocking on his door. "Aaron and Benji, breakfast is ready." his grandmother said, still knocking on the door.

"Coming," he said, trying to get off the ground.

"Good. Wake up your cousin, too," she grumbled before walking back to the kitchen.

He continued to lay down for about two more minutes before finally getting up. Leaving the bedroom to go to the bathroom, he climbed on the small bathroom bench to see himself in the mirror. After washing his face, attempting to wash the laziness away, he dries it on the sleeve of his shirt, getting it wet in the process; it was a long-sleeved t-shirt, white, the sleeves drooping over his hands.

Aaron was a small boy, below average height, and was scrawny with narrow shoulders. He had curly chocolate brown hair and light brown eyes; his baby face was unremarkable, with no features standing out. The only remarkable thing about his appearance is his beautiful curls.

He got down from the bench and walked back to his room. The room was a mess, clothes everywhere, plates of half-eaten food, among other things causing clutter, the room had been this way since Aaron had started sharing a room with his cousin Benji. Aaron approached his cousin, who was sleeping in underwear, which was not a pleasant sight, and poked him.

"Benji," Aaron called his name. "Benji?" Aaron poked him a few more times, after the third poke, he decided to pull the blanket off. "Wake up!" Aaron had let Benji have his bed while he slept on the floor. Whenever he did this, he had only expected his cousin to stay for a week or two- it had already been a year.

"HUH." Benji finally woke up. "What do you want?" Benji is Aaron's paternal cousin. The two are somewhat similar in appearance, but Benji has straight black hair and dark brown eyes, he's pudgy, and is average height.

"Breakfast is ready," Aaron told him. "Grandma told me to wake you." He turned his back and left the room.

Aaron walked toward the living room, where he heard a loud snore coming from the couch. He turns his head a bit and notices that his uncle was sleeping there. His grandma hears the snore as well, and she walks toward him. "Barry, you worthless drunk! Stop that damn snoring." she hits his head with a newspaper.

"Ouch! What the hell Mum." Uncle Barry swore.

She hits him again. "Language Barry, there are children living with us."

Uncle Barry is a fat man, with black hair and a bushy beard. Though he was not bald, his hair is clearly receding, and also seems to be missing some teeth.

His Grandmother Rosalinda is a heavy-set woman with white hair pulled in a tight bun, she always wears black clothing and sported rimless bifocal glasses.

Benji walked into the living room while their grandmother was lecturing Barry, but he was still in his underwear.

"Benji! Put some clothes on! You're as shameless as your father," their grandmother yelled at Benji.

Benji quickly ran back to their room. Aaron just chuckled a bit before walking toward the kitchen. He sat down at the table and notices that there was a plate filled with pancakes in front of him.

He starts to eat. His cousin finally comes back with come clothes on. Benji sits on his chair, but he saw that Aaron has more pancakes on his plate than he does.
