People were confusing creatures. They had complex emotions and a one way mindset that made everything feel uneasy. Young Apollo Lovegood never understand people, he never understood how human beings functioned for to him, they were all the same with the same complex emotions and the same uneasy, one way mindset.

Animals were much more easy to interpret for they were all different and Apollo always adapted to them much better than he ever did with his own family. Not even magic was a simple thing as his mind created more problems than necessary just to make a simple jar of cookies fly over to him. So, when his Hogwarts letter lands on his head in the backyard, Apollo is suddenly thrust into a world of magic and more people than he's ever encountered. Hogwarts becomes a nightmare for him the moment he enters and all he wants is to wake up from such a horrible dream but then he meets a boy who sucks at magic, has a love for plants and appears to be more easy to understand than the rest of the people.

So, Apollo finds himself attached to the older boy and as their friendship slowly twists into something more, Apollo can't help but create problems to face the situation and Neville stays with him every step of the way, a feat that not even the most complicated humans do.

With a year filled with calculations, precarious adventures, and complicated feelings, Apollo is determined to survive his very first year in Hogwarts, with Neville right beside him.
