Thomas Dwight Houston

The new boy—being given a large berth by the older boys—was standing at the door wearing a heavy trenchcoat, surrounded by his luggage that were still being brought in. The baggage consisted of suitcases and massive trunks that looked like the ones pirates usually unearthed out of beaches. The pale, dark-haired boy was staring at Ryan, the prefect, and Charlie, the unspoken leader of the junior boys.

"I don't understand," the new boy said coldly, but his eyes looked frightened. He was holding what looked like a sprayer of water. Around his feet was a white line of powdered substance, which still trickled from a small canister at his other hand—it was salt.

Ryan looked around a moment before saying, "Uh…look, freshman—"

"Dwight."

Ryan looked at the sheet in his hand. "This says your name is Thomas."

"Thomas Dwight Houston," the boy bristled as his butler continued to dump stuff around him, completely unperturbed by his charge's behavior. "If you call me Thomas or any variation thereof, I swear I will get my crossbow out."

"Okay, take it easy." Ryan stepped forward. The water sprayer immediately got raised to his face as the boy backed half a step further behind the salt line. The Twins looked deeply interested.

"Got ourselves a really crazy one here…" Charlie stared. "Howard's going to be thrilled."

OK, so, I know that a lot of people see Dwight as being Curt Mega, but the thing is, in my head, he always looked either like Harry and Luke Treadaway (Harry was in City of Ember, Luke was in Clash of the Titans) or Ryan Cartwright (Vincent Nigel-Murray from Bones) and then I saw this Tweet from CP Coulter :

"I imagine Dwight as looking just like Harry Treadaway in City of Ember."

And I was like, well perfect! My head canon is now officially canon (as canon as a fanfiction can get, but you know). So I did this — which was supposed to be a photo-manipulation at first but it turns out that I'm better at drawing than at photoshopping (...it happens).

Anyway, for all youse who haven't read Dalton yet : DO IT NOW! The link is here : [link] . Although I'd only suggest you to read it of you're already a Glee fan, otherwise it would be a bit pointless because it *is* a Glee fanfiction, so if you don't like it, you probably won't like Dalton either, y'know.
