School was over. It still felt beyond surreal to Holden, that he would never have to set foot in this building again. Seven years of hating his classes, hating his classmates, and finding just about anything he could do to avoid having to deal with any of them, and it was all over. Just like...

Holden still wasn't really ready to deal with the thought of Penny graduating. He had known it was coming, obviously, and he was happy for her, he was. But Penny was graduating, and he was going to be at school alone. Well... with Eric, technically, but he'd proven himself a narc. No support...

Holden hadn't been looking forward to Penny's graduation, and he didn't feel any better about it now that it was actually here. He didn't spend all that much time with his sister at school, but he had liked at least knowing she was here. The only sibling he had left at school was Eric, and...

10/10 so cute & I love the cheeky smile!

Holden had also had a whole holiday break to forget just how frustrating Vanity had been on their first date, and he was immediately questioning if this whole girlfriend thing was worth it. Why did it matter what he was wearing? It wasn't like anyone was even going to be looking at him, with...

Holden wasn't really sure he was doing this 'having a girlfriend' thing right, but Vanity hadn't killed him yet, and it was a definite distraction from his haunting thoughts about how cool Milo had looked catching the snitch. If he did turn out to be gay, that would be fine, he supposed, but he...

Holden snorted at June's outburst, rolling his eyes. He felt justified in his decision to have avoided the Slytherin up til now, and he was pretty sure he wouldn't be bothering with her in future either. He took the bottle and gave it a quick spin, hoping to just get this stupid thing moving...

Holden sat back as the game unfolded, though he couldn't quite bring himself to look as Vanity had to kiss Corn, of all people. He was relieved when the boy left shortly after, though it meant for a while the game went right back to being kind of boring. It picked back up on Oswald's turn...

Holden prodded moodily at his breakfast as he tried and failed to wake up properly, wondering if he could get away with a second coffee. It was hard to want to wake up with History of Magic in his future. He was drawing sleepy circles in his oatmeal with a spoon when Vanity sat across from...

Holden grabbed uselessly at the knife as it flew from his pocket, staring at his brother in betrayal. "Nobody's even here!" He snapped. It's not like anyone would know if Eric had... you know, been nice to his own brother. "Whatever." Holden spat. "Can't believe you became a pig. Guess...

Holden's heart kept skipping nervous beats as he made his way to the classroom Vanity had told him to go to. He didn't know why he was nervous - there wasn't really anything to be nervous about. Not really. Kissing wasn't really a big deal or whatever, and frankly it was kind of embarrassing...

Holden pocketed his knife and folded his arms. "Nobody's looking! Nobody cares!" He said insistently. "And you wouldn't care if we were at home, you'd think it was funny! You're just power tripping to impress the teachers or something, you know it's not a big deal!"

Holden's face dropped even further when Eric reached for his knife, folding it quickly. "It's my knife! It's from scouts!" He lied, hoping Eric wouldn't know he wasn't one. "It's for camping and stuff, you can't take it." He scooted off the seat, betrayed. "Why not? What happened to being...

Of all the changes recently at Hogwarts, having his older brother around was definitely one Holden had been finding most surprising. He actually jumped at the sound of Eric's voice, head snapping quickly round to face him, cheeks flushed. "What?" He said blankly, before glancing down at the...

After so many years Holden knew he should be used to the beginning of year funk he wound up in, but it still took him by surprise every time. It wasn't like being home was that much better; his dad barely noticed he was there, and when they were at Melanie's Connor had stopped being openly...
