"Love is a polaroid, better in picture, but never can fill the void." - Imagine Dragons, "Polaroid" Dan Howell is a sixth year Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, just like Hufflepuff Phil Lester. Dan's popular, funny, and openly bisexual; Phil's unknown, nerdy, and closeted. When Dan trips in the hallway and uses Phil as a cushion, all Dan knows is he wants to see Phil again. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, Dan Howell, Phil Lester, or any other people or things mentioned in the story (unless I specify otherwise). I altered the characters to fit my enjoyment, and this was written to cause no harm or problems. The only trigger warning is the struggling with sexuality and LGBTQ+ discrimination.
