While Cyrus had been nervous about this game, he still felt a stab of disappointment when he heard he wouldn't be playing. He couldn't help feeling like he had disappointed them somehow. He sat on the bench, glancing at Savannah. It was even stranger that she wasn't playing, considering she had...

Cyrus felt nervous about this game. The stakes were higher than ever. He was mostly glad he was a chaser and not a seeker, the pressure would probably be too much. He supposed that was why it was Savannah, she never seemed that bothered by anything.

Cyrus headed into the Great Hall for the Valentine's Dance with low expectations. These events were sort of fun, but Cyrus never really accomplished anything. The past few dances he had just spent on the sidelines staring at Kairi, but thankfully he was over that crush. That meant today he might...

Cyrus felt his cheeks heat up when people started to clap, but he was glad no one said anything critical. He was also very happy and relieved when Rosalind went next, glad the spotlight was no longer on him. He smiled proudly at her poem, then clapped for her as well. "That was lovely." He told...

Cyrus took the quaffle and threw it through the middle hoop successfully. He couldn't believe he had scored on his first attempt.

Cyrus hadn't noticed Demi approach and was a bit startled when she talked to him. He had forgotten they had talked about Quidditch before, but he appreciated her checking up. Mostly because he had something good to say. "Oh, hi. Yes I did." He said with a smile. "Chaser, starting this year." He...

Cyrus listened as Susie sort of organized the meeting, a bit surprised apparently reading homework was allowed. Then Lilith stepped up and read a poem. He listened, impressed and a bit surprised at how personal it was. It sounded very serious, and he couldn't help wondering who it was about. He...

Cyrus felt a sinking feeling of dread as he realized all the younger students knew each other and were friends. Had he misunderstood the flyer? Thankfully, another older Ravenclaw joined. He knew her by name but not much else. And then the girl organizing it introduced herself and Cyrus felt a...

Cyrus had been on a mission this year to be a bit more social, though it didn't come naturally to him. He'd managed to get on the Quidditch team, so that definitely helped, but when he saw flyers around about a writing circle, he had agonized over whether he should go or not. On the one hand, it...
