When Simon got his invitation to graduation he seriously considered coming up with an excuse to get out of it. He didn't want to spend his day listening to pointless speeches at a school he was trying to forget about. Besides he knew his sister and mother would have it covered. But before he...

Simon chuckled a bit at her comment. "I don't think I'd mind hearing all my options." he teased and spared a glance over his shoulder. "I think you have the time." But all playfulness aside, he was the one who didn't have all that much time. Although, the world wouldn't end if Barnaby had to...

Simon rubbed his hand over his face as he walked quickly down the street. He had overslept this morning and Sydney had been less than helpful as he tried to get out the door to make it to his bookstore job on time. Not that Barnaby would notice if he slipped in a few minutes late but he was also...

Simon’s life the past few years had felt like a rollercoaster he couldn’t get off of. Ever since losing his father he had been the one who stepped up to take care of his family and somehow fill in the gaps. It had been hard. So hard and exhausted, he wasn’t sure how he had made it through. But...

Simon knew that one day he would probably return to Hogwarts, and while he was happy to be there to celebrate his sister, it still felt far too soon. His time at school was probably average but the place still held more bad memories than good, or those were the ones that seemed to linger. He...

Simon gave the man an incredulous look when he said he didn't need help. "Obviously you run a thriving business." he said and wasn't sure if he had meant it to sound as sarcastic as it ended up coming out. Either way he decided to persist. He needed a job and this man clearly needed the help. "I...

Simon had nearly a hundred other things he wanted to point out in the shop that needed to be fixed or changed when he remembered he was supposed to be looking for a job. He ignored the shopkeeper’s comment about finding the door. He scanned the shelf he was looking at and found a stray volume on...

Simon let out a small laugh when the man behind the counter confirmed that he was in fact the owner. "Sorry I had to check because honestly you could have fooled me." he said. His apology was unsurprisingly insincere as he took a few more steps inside the shop and wrinkled his nose when he...

[2055 - Present] Rising to the Occasion with Barnaby Crabapple Mistakes Made with Padme Hume What Comes After the Rain with Delilah Thorne and Caleb Thorne Brewing Guidance with Knox Ivers Settling In with Lilisette Earnshaw

Simon could feel himself sweating under his button down shirt and jacket even though the weather was still rather cold. He felt like he had been at this for months when it had only in fact been a few weeks of knocking on doors and looking for jobs. After graduation he had managed to secure a...

Simon couldn't figure out how he wanted to feel about graduation and so he decided to feel completely indifferent. This day had been looming in the future for so long and now that it was here he was surprised to find it felt just like every other day. But by the end of it he would be a proper...

Simon made a face as Sully threw an arm around his shoulders but didn't immediately shrug it off. He made an offended sound at the other boy's proposition. "A single galleon?" he asked incredulously. If he was going to leap to his potentially imminent death he would like to think his life would...

Simon nodded and rubbed the back of his neck. "Couldn't agree more." he said with a sigh and notices the sharp up right way she carried herself. He'd seen his sister do that too. Maybe it wasn't such a stretch that Brooke and Lila were friends. But he started to realize that the bitterness he...

Simon was disappointed in himself, which wasn't new. But the dueling tournament was one of the rare times at school where he actually felt like he was competent. He usually lost to Sydney in the end but he usually at least made it past the first round. It being the last tournament he'd probably...

Simon had spent a lot of his time recently pulling everything together for tonight which meant he didn't have to stress about his impending graduation. Tonight he had enough to worry about, with so many kids around fire he knew he had to be vigilant. Thankfully the weather had cooperated with...
