Hey, prefects, come on by the lounge before getting stuck in to preening for the ball. There's morning tea.

Aine Thompson Hufflepuff Seventh Year Lesson 4 It seemed they were getting into the revision part of the semester, which was something of a relief for Aine. Although her schedule wasn't that packed with magic classes, Transfiguration was the one that was definitely hardest. More time to try and...

Aine wondered what the optics were on throwing a student out the window. Not good, she suspected. "Because the dark wizards aren't going through all the background checks to work at a school," she explained, though that didn't necessarily explain Professor Styx. Still, the kid didn't have him...

Aine folded her arms across her chest, her face screwing up in thought as she listened to what Valerius had to say. She had to keep silent on the whole Margo thing - Margo was her roommate, after all, and she suspected there was a bit more to it than what she'd heard from Valerius. Aine was just...

Happy birthday Cyndi! Hope you had a great one :party:

Aine stared blankly ahead for a moment, her mind ticking over to try and work out what she was supposed to do here. It wasn't her job to parent or teach kids, just to keep an extra eye on them to make sure they weren't doing anything stupid. Aine didn't have younger siblings, and her niece was...

What do you mean Teddy hadn't been spotlighted already??? Congrats!

"Probably should have," Aine admitted, giving a wry smile despite how miserable she no doubt looked. "But I've made it this far. Can't pretend to ignore it forever." In saying that, she was very quick to head back down to the ground near where her bag was lying, stumbling off the broom like it...

Aine knew if she let him, Valerius would talk in circles around the problem and try to push the focus on to anything else, so she had to be extremely straightforward in her approach or they'd never get anywhere. "It's somewhere in the middle," she joked, it was better than dealing with first...

Aine stared blankly at the girl for a few moments, blinking as she processed what she was trying to say. She had to put on a nice and friendly and approachable face for the first years (not that that came naturally, but she was trying). "Uh, she's been here as long as I've been here, possibly...

Somehow, they'd gotten close to where they'd started. Aine was still pale, breathing shallowly, and gripping the broom for dear life, but she'd stayed upright. "Um, thanks," she said, looking to keep the topic of conversation off herself and on Chase instead, in a manner of speaking. "You didn't...

Aine had to resist the urge to make a rude gesture at Cameron, she had to provide a good example after all. Sometimes she thought she actually liked the Slytherin boy, but then he'd usually open his mouth and prove her wrong. And even then, she still didn't mind the barbs as much as she could...

Admittedly, Aine herself would have been fine not having this level of spotlight, but if she were to go about her days in the background at a school like this, never getting notice or help, she would've gone mad long ago. If she hadn't already. "Plus there's the guilt, like, there were so many...

"Course it does. But it's better than going unacknowledged, I guess." Aine wasn't sure if that was exactly helpful to say, since it likely wasn't leaving a good impression. But then she thought about the bad impression she was making with her flying, wobbled a bit more, and then turned her...

I gave up on part 2 of season 6, wasn't vibing with it. :lol: I'm watching Delicious in Dungeon atm!
