Matt was quiet as he listened to the boy's story. His frown deepening the more he continued to speak. He wasn't sure what to think about it. It seemed to have been an accident, but it was a very stupid one. A seventh year prefect should know better than to summon snakes in the school, espcially...

Matt quietly caught his breath as he listened to Isabella, frowning at her story. He then looked at the boy, who seemed nervous. It did little to help his case, as either way, he had done something incredibly dangerous in the school. "How badly is she hurt? When will she wake up?" He asked the...

Matt rushed to the hospital wing after he got the patronus from Isabella, heart beating fast as he tried his best not to panic. So far, he hadn't had any big injuries on his watch as Headmaster. It was bound to happen one day, but did it really have to be today? He practically ran into the...

Matt always thought the rose giving event was a really nice idea, and he admired the students for organizing it on their own. The atmosphere in the school was joyful and nice, and he smiled as he saw some students excitedly talking about the roses they got. He paused his stride when a girl came...

It felt like the yule ball had only been yesterday, but here Matt was, preparing for the Valentine’s Dance. He had put up a lot of decorations, as he had always loved Valentine’s dance. Even as an awkward teen who barely ever had a date, he had appreciated the romance of it all. The room was...

The Yule Ball had to be one of Matt's favorite events. He just loved the excitement in the air and the yule cheer, it always reminded him of being younger. This year, he had decided on winter decorations again, as that seemed to be a Hogwarts tradition. He had decided to take inspiration from...

Matt had always enjoyed the Halloween festivities at Hogwarts immensely. He was proud to be the one running it now and had tried his best to dress up the hall appropriately for the event. He had been looking forward to seeing the different costumes and seeing the students having fun tonight. The...

The sorting ceremony had come to a close, and Matt smiled at the sight of the fresh new faces at all the new tables. He had always been fond of the sorting ceremony, he was glad to be a part of it now. He did hope this feast would turn out differently than the last one, though he suspected that...

Apparently, Matt had been wrong. He was going to let her disrespect him. Because after she was finished talking and insulting him, the girl ran off. He considered chasing her, but there was no way he would catch an eleven year old girl even if it wasn't dark and he wasn't tired. On top of that...

Matt was losing his patience rapidly. "No. I will not take you to Hufflepuff, as that is not your house. I can't change it, and even if I could, I wouldn't. The hat has his reasons for putting you in Slytherin, and has seen you can thrive there. If you give it a chance, you will do great." He...

Matt sighed, wondering briefly if they needed to do something different about the sorting ceremony. It was tradition, sure, but it didn't seem like all the kids were dealing with it well. He shook his head "I'm sorry, but I can't change the hat's decision. I understand that it's hard, but you...

Matt hadn't been entirely sure which dormitory he would have to escort the girl to, as he knew the two girls hadn't been in the same house. The look on her face told him everything, this was the Slytherin girl. Matt sighed as the girl spoke. This was starting to become a pattern. At least this...

Matt felt an odd sense of relief when the girl started speaking and didn't start levitating or screaming or something. He took a deep breath. He needed to stop being ridiculous, this was just a lost child. A lost... creepy child, but one he needed to help nonetheless. "I can see that, you seem...
