Bijoux was still getting used to all of this – having a half-sister on the other side of the world. It sounded fake, like something that would happen to someone in a story. But here she was, at her half-sister's wedding. It had been a beautiful ceremony, though some of the English words had...

Bijoux was relieved when Simone accepted the offered tea on behalf of both of them, following where she was led. This whole thing felt like an out of body experience, and she was relieved that at least her sister seemed equally thrown. "I'm sure. Mama has all of the paperwork still stored in...

Bijoux was relieved when her sister responded in French, glad that she didn't need to struggle through such a difficult conversation in English. She smiled helplessly when October asked if she had come all this way for this, nodding a little sheepishly. "I wanted to meet you..." She...

Bijoux couldn't suppress a sharp gasp as the woman opened the door, and all worries about whether she was in the right place fled in an instant. This was October - had to be her. The resemblance was striking, and Bijoux's heart clenched with nerves. She had to get this right. She clung to...

It had taken Bijoux a long time to get here, a lot longer than she had expected. Knowing that someone existed and actually tracking down information about them were two different things, as it turned out, and she didn't think she had any kind of future as a private investigator, based on her...

Bijoux didn't like to admit it, but she had been drifting ever since graduation. She knew she should have goals, ambitions, should be working towards the things she wanted, but every time she started... something would go wrong, or she would change her mind or think twice, and it all fell apart...

Both teams out for blood 🏏

Once she pulled herself together Bijoux got in on the action, unable to help laughing as she blocked shot after shot from Simone. "Keep trying!" She called out, lightly taunting her friend. She didn't think she had ever been this on top of her game, and she was eager to keep it going.

Bijoux felt bittersweet excitement for this party. She was thrilled to be spending the time with her best friends, but it only highlighted the thing she was trying so hard not to think about. School was almost over, forever, and they would all be moving on to their own paths in life. She...

Bijoux almost couldn't believe her final Quidditch match ever was approaching. She had joined the team for purely selfish reasons, and though she was no closer to the goal of finding her sister, she had enjoyed the time far more than she had ever expected. She couldn't help tearing up slightly...

As prepared as she was, even Bijoux was surprised she managed to block Nadine's shock. Nadine was an unquestionable powerhouse, and she didn't think she had ever blocked one of her shots in practice before. Bijoux threw the ball back out and re-centered herself to block the hoops.

Bijoux kept her position in front of the hoops, trying to stay focused on defending. It was a relief when she finally managed to block a shot, though she was a little embarrassed when Orélie cheered for her. Was it that obvious that she was down? She braced herself as Orélie approached again...

Bijoux stayed silent as the practice began, kicking off and taking her place at the hoops silently. Try as she might, her heart just wasn't in this. She tried her best, but frustration began brewing more intensely as both Simone and Nadine managed to get shots past her. She should be glad for...

Bijoux still didn't know how she felt about the decision to sign up for Quidditch again. Though she had been the one to talk most of her friends into joining the team, her heart just wasn't in this anymore. She had lost her chance to find her sister, and now the Hogwarts referee was out to get...

Bijoux didn't even want to think about Quidditch last year. The sooner she could banish it from her memory, the better. It had taken a bit of cajoling from her friends to return to the team, something Bijoux felt even more guilty about, having encouraged most of them to join the team herself...
