::The Secret::

They stood alone. Two twin boys. Two twin boys who were wizards. Two parents who didn't know what to do. The magic as possessive, their parents non-understanding, they'd fled into the night, suitcases packed with clothing and what little money that had been saved up between the two of them, and they'd fled. Not the best of ideas, two young boys barely past puberty living together on their own, but they had one another and, in a sense that was all that mattered. Later on they had themselves.

Street magic was the performance of choice on the street corners on which they stopped. An art or skill, neither knew which at the time, only that it was not what they truly longed to do. They, as possessors of what they knew to be real magic, wished to harness it, to use it. These were hollow tricks, illusions, unreal, intangible; but the greatest illusion of all was yet to come.

Adrian had been the first of the two to make his way to Hogwarts and, for the first time in their lives, they truly felt as two separate entities, when before they'd been able to perform tricks as one. One Shelton went into the box, the other came out on the other side. It was ingenious, it was their little secret....but it was enough, to be connected to one another, to something real and tangible..to themselves in every form of reality that they had come to know. It was two boys against the world, and the separation began a chain of letters, with Adrian writing furiously to Hadley each and every day; conveying all that Hogwarts had to offer. The magic, the thrill, the challenge, and entrusted to were spells and ways to practice them...and warnings not to. it had been torture, but he could study, he could learn what his brother learned in secret, and when Adrian discovered his knack for transfiguration, he gained himself a new cat, and Hadley gained a chance at learning real magic, just as his brother had been doing previously. Alongside his brother in fact. They would be whole again. They would become the same person.

Adrian had enrolled not with his own name, but under the alias of Hadrian; a perfect blending their respective names, Hadley and Adrian. it had been done due to their close connection, but now it would have an even greater significance. Now they would both be Hadrian, or more accurately, one would Hadrian and the other was to be Be'el, a tabby cat. They could switch on and off, learn together, remain together...but they would have to be careful. No one could catch on; not the students and most certainly not the staff.

::A Mirror Image:::

The brothers both are of fair, but not quite pale skin, and dark brown hair with errant lighter shades of sandy coloring streaked naturally throughout; tawny hair some called it. Something else uniquely their own...Hadrian's own. Their eyes are of a color reminiscent of a fickle storm; running a deep chocolate in a the darkness of anger or passion, and lightening and brightening to a sweet honey like the sun upon its hesitant and then at last glorious return when captured by joy or rapture.

They maintain a fairly well toned body; fit but not overly so, lean, something akin to muscular ( though it doesn't particularly show)...perhaps lean and wiry, or lithe and wiry would be the best way of describing their build. They do not know... it does not matter so long as they are the same.

Shared Dislikes:

• Religion (for it is naught but a way to control large groups in the muggle world..effective but placed in effect against the magic that they so love and crave)
• Arrogance
• Conflict (an injury must be inflicted twofold, and it always pains one to hurt a loved one, a brother most especially...but if only one sported a black eye...it had to be done.)
• Pity ("this isn't a pity party, now bugger off!")
