1. A New Presence

Forks.

A small town nestled in the evergreen landscape of the Olympic Peninsula, characterized by its dense forests, misty atmosphere and constant rainfall. The town itself was surrounded by towering trees, surrounding it with a serene, natural beauty.

This is where Harry had decided to set his roots for the next few years. Like all the previous towns he had settled in, he hoped to establish himself as an unnoticeable individual in the background. For a creature like him, that would have been impossible had he not been proficient in using magic. Creatures like him tended to attract attention wherever they went, people would be entranced by him even at a subconscious level. A small charm made for a quick fix. And just like that, he became a regular unnoticeable person. Even if he gained the smallest bit of attention, people would quickly turn their attention else where.

Harry had been in town for two days and so far, he liked the place. The main street of Forks was lined with modest shops, cafes and small businesses, reflecting the town's close-knit community. The houses and buildings exhibited a quaint and cozy charm, often with woodsy or rustic aesthetics, blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings. He had yet to completely explore the area. There was still La Push he had not managed to visit. 

He had managed to purchase a quaint Victorian style house with ornate details and a touch of gothic charm. The house had a wraparound porch, intricate woodwork and large bay windows that allowed plenty natural light inside. The house was painted in a muted hue of grey. He was very content with his new home. It wasn't too showy but just for him.

School would begin tomorrow. You would think with the years he had lived, he would be done with attending high school. Truthfully, he didn't mind attending school. He had acquired a lot of knowledge and had even lived through some historical events that he could remove himself from attending school, surrounding himself with dramatic and hormonal teenagers and learning things he already knew of. He may have been old but that did not mean he wanted to isolate himself from humanity. For some going over and over through these motions was tedious but not for him. He loved the humanness that people had, the lives they lived and all that they represented.

Harry didn't expect much when he moved here. He had no idea that his life would change. He could never have expected it to change to the extent that it did either. Tomorrow would be a new day but it would also be marked as the day his life changed.
