Phil Lester is the sweetest first year at Hogwarts. He's known by every house to be kind and goofy.
Dan Howell, on the other hand is sarcastic and closed off, and has some infamous heritage, but not a single soul to confide in, and is an outcast, even in Slytherin.
Fate takes a turn for the better when Dan is booted to the back of the potions classroom for his sarcastic mouth, landing next to the intriguing Hufflepuff he had heard so much about.
But Hogwarts is not the utopia they had imagined. Death Eaters have over run the school, and suddenly the students are the playthings of murdurers. But then, in a stroke of luck, they stumble across the infamous group of rebels, and are soon tangled up in a dangeous dance of resistance, both playing key roles in Hogwarts' future, all while trying to untangle thier feelings for each other.
(It's a Phan at Hogwarts, in case you didn't catch that, and to make it more Interesting, their first year is the year of the battle at Hogwarts so like it's intense. Ive included a bunch of people like Neville, Ginny, and Luna, some other You Tubers, and a couple of OCs! )
The library. The only place where 18 year old Dan Howell can escape his (abusive) parents. His life has been terrible. Parents always fighting. Parents being drunk. What a happy life, right?
It wasn't until one day at the library, a new boy named Phil decided to visit the library. After encountering each other whilst trying to grab the same book and start talking, they instantly realize they share things in common. When Dan decided to tell Phil this "cute" little thing couples do, Phil decides to do it, too. For him. For the boy he had just met in the library.
TW: Abusive parenting, mentions of self-harm. Not very major, though.
Genre: Fluff, some angst
This is basically a Teen!Phan phanfic and an AU.
