Delilah wasn't exactly hiding from her family but she did hang back from the rest of the crowd as everyone greeted their family and guests. She was trying to savor the last few moments of peace before she was forced to be the center of attention. She knew she deserved it. She had graduated after...

Delilah could almost feel each second as it passed. Each one bringing her closer to graduation and freedom from school and the person she used to be. Some days she felt like she was about to burst with anticipation and others she was absolutely terrified. Today she was somewhere in the middle...

Delilah found herself staring at the rose petals falling from the sky. It was oddly hypnotic and she was also trying to commit it all to memory. It was her last school dance after all. She had briefly considered not attending at all but had obviously changed her mind. It had felt like a lot of...

Delilah had never really considered joining the arts club. When she was younger she would have considered it a waste of time and she knew that her parent's would have had something to say about it. Instead she had focused or clubs that were supposed to make her a well rounded adult or give her...

Delilah wasn't a stranger to spending alone during the Yule Ball. The only time she had gotten a date for the dance was when it was organized by a club. There was that time with Hester which didn't feel much like a date in the end but it did make things a bit clearer for her. But tonight she...

Delilah hadn't decided what hurt worse. The gash on her leg or her pride, not that she had a big one to start with, but there was an ache in her chest that wouldn't go away. It would have been one thing if it had been a private lesson or even if everyone had been practicing at once, but no. All...

Delilah wasn't exactly surprised that she had ended up alone at a table by herself at her second to last Valentine's dance. Somehow it made a lot of sense that she had ended up in this position. Nothing else in her life had gone to plan, why would her love life. But if things had gone according...

Delilah smiled as she took another bite of the cookie she had been picking at for the past few minutes as Hester told her a story. Agreeing to go to the ball with the Gryffindor had been a last minute decision and she had been nervous about it. She had been worried about what her friends would...

Delilah wasn't sure why she decided to come to the dance. She didn't have a date but that wasn't new. She had been hiding all day and had expected to continue that tonight. But there had been a moment earlier that night when the rest of her roommates had left, when she had been all alone that...

Delilah was feeling restless. It wasn't exactly a new feeling for her but it was something that had become much more frequent for her after her father's death. Sometimes it felt like if she sat still for too long she would go crazy. It was like there was a buzzing in her head that was only quiet...

Delilah had walked around the library maybe a dozen times as she built up the courage to knock on the counselor's door. She had lost count after eight laps around the stacks off books, but she couldn't seem to stop. Professor Joseph's was the one who suggested she talk to the school's counselor...

[set during the Yule ball] Delilah couldn't shake the feeling like she was doing something wrong. She had come up to the north tower to get as far away from people as she could but when she closed her eyes she could swear that she still heard music. With a frustrated sigh she closed her book...

Delilah was used to feeling worried about one thing or another. Usually it whether or not her friends liked her, or how her lessons were going, or even what would be the next thing to tip her family into social ruin. But for this afternoon she felt fine. She had finished her studying ahead of...

It was still a little cold out but Delilah had wanted to indulge in the fresh air while she could and appreciated the sun that was doing its best to peak through the clouds to warm her just enough to be comfortable. She had known that her OWLs would be hard but she hadn't expected her...

It was earlier than Delilah usually ventured out on the weekends but she was desperate to get some practice in before the grounds were crawling with classmates. She set down her violin case on the grass that was still damp with the morning dew and kept her music still tightly tucked under her...

Delilah wasn't sure why she had come to the Valentine's dance. After what happened on the train ride home, dances and anything related to romance felt like it should be off limits. But the world had never stopped for her before, why would she think it would start now. She arrived a little late...

Delilah couldn't believe how quickly the break had gone. It almost felt like she blinked and it was over. Their cousin had come to visit briefly but she had the feeling New Zealand was the last place Gemma wanted to be, but she had brought Delilah some of her favorite romance novel which was a...

Delilah smiled when she saw the last name on her list. It took some wandering around but she finally found Theia in the courtyard. She walked up to the Slytherin girl and was nearly out of breath. "Hi!" she said brightly and held out a yellow rose. "Happy Valentine's day, you have a rose." she...

Delilah felt like her list was never ended as she made her way to the student lounge for the second time today as she tried to find everyone. She had contemplated giving up but that did seem counter intuitive to the spirit of the holiday so she pushed on. Besides the next rose she had to deliver...

Delilah hoped to find one of her other deliveries outside. It really was a lovely day and she didn't mind the thought of taking her time to look around. She took a deep breath and sat down for a moment to rest when she spotted who she thought she was looking for. "Charlie Jacobs!" she called...
