Hester felt like her world had collapsed around her all at once. She was a responsible pet owner, she knew she was. Big Douglas had never wanted for anything, never been injured or sick, lived in the lap of luxury for his entire beautiful toad life. He went practically everywhere with her...

((Yellow, open after @Delilah Thorne )) After a long day of marching around the school playing, Hester was exhausted. Her lungs ached, her arms were sore, and her legs felt worn out entirely. She was desperately looking forward to resting in the common room once she was done, but first there...

((Yellow, open after @Lucas Fletcher )) As good as this idea had been, and as much as she really did need the practice, Hester had to admit her lungs were hurting a bit. She was almost at the bottom of her list now, and looking forward to being done with her deliveries for the day. She knew...

((Yellow, open after @Elizabella Drake )) Hester didn't know the next person on her delivery list, but that was a good excuse to return to the Great Hall. She straightened her kilt before entering the hall, playing her bagpipes loudly as she marched over to the Hufflepuff table. She stopped...

((Yellow, open after @Lysander Summers )) After the echoing in the dungeons, Hester had to admit that the outdoors was a far better setting for playing. Out here her pipes could carry as much as they liked, and she felt less conspicuous dressed in her full MacGillivray tartan. She continued...

((Pink, open after @Gwen Goodwin )) Hester had been having a great time causing a ruckus around the school, but even she had to admit the echo of her pipes playing in the dungeons was a bit much. Still, she was dressed up and determined to make this an event for the people getting roses so she...

((Yellow, open after @Ryan Fisk )) Hester had been thoroughly enjoying making more of an Event out of receiving a rose, and she didn't intend to stop now. The next name on her list was a boy she knew vaguely through Lysander, the two of them likely having had the most unique pets at the picnic...

((Yellow, open after @Juniper Zumwalt )) Hester wasn't an idiot, she knew the bagpipes weren't to everyone's taste. But everything felt a bit grander with them around, and she was quite happy to keep playing as she roamed the halls, looking for the next name on her list. She had dressed in...

((Yellow, open after @Cassiah West )) Hester always loved the roses, and she was excited to be taking part in the deliveries again this year. She had always thought Valentines ought to be more of an event, and this year she had decided to bring the drama herself. She had donned her...

Mealtimes were more fun as a group activity, as far as Hester was concerned. When it came down to it the bustle and chaos of the Hogwarts Great Hall wasn't all that different to mealtime at home, with four older brothers bringing their own brand of noise and mess. Or... they had been, at...

Hester knew all too well that there wasn't really any such thing as a good place to practice her bagpipes at Hogwarts. She did her best to keep it out of the castle, as much as it was a pain to have to go all the way outside every time she felt like playing. Upon giving a first experimental...

Hester loved school dances, and she was particularly over the moon about this year's dance, face lighting up as soon as she entered the Great Hall. The warm sunlight reminded her of playing on the beach with her brothers late on Christmas evenings, falling asleep in the sand and being carried...

((Open after Kaye)) Hester didn't think she would ever quite adjust to living surrounded by paintings that could move and talk, and apparently go just about wherever they pleased. She had had quite a few interesting chats with paintings around the school, but the thought had occurred to her...

((Open after Ruben)) The magical world had brought a lot of wonderful things into Hester's life, but she was absolutely certain that the best of all of them was Big Douglas. She had always wanted a pet all to herself, a tall ask with as many brothers as she had, but here she had her dream...

((Open after Verity!)) As disappointing as it was, Hester had long since learned the lesson that outdoors was the place to practice her pipes. The people of Hogwarts just didn't know how to appreciate a good thing, but that didn't matter. She had brought her bagpipes down to the lakeside and...

((Immediately follows this)) After leaving Spin the Bottle, Hester had only made it as far as the nearest bathroom before the desperation for privacy became too much. She felt silly, felt immature, for having so much trouble with something her classmates didn't seem to think was a big deal at...

((Red, open after Jenna Jusantrea)) Hester was nervously excited about delivering her next rose. It was the only red one in her basket, and she couldn't help wondering what it meant. She didn't think much about romance, and she was pretty sure she had never been in love. Hester didn't even...

((Yellow for Minnie Calida)) Hester was a bit nervous about delivering to some of the older students, though at least there weren't any unfamiliar names left on her list. Though she didn't know Minnie personally, Hester recognised her as a Quidditch captain. Even after years at Hogwarts...

((Yellow, open after Brooke Townsend)) Another delivery, another classmate Hester realised she ought to get to know a little better. Still, there was no opportunity like the present! She clutched her basket cheerfully as she made her way down to the dungeons, relieved to spot Brooke far...

((Pink, open after Oscar Davies)) Hester's next rose was for another name she recognised from classes, but didn't think she had ever actually spoken to. It was almost embarrassing, and she quietly cursed herself for not getting to know so many of her classmates. Still, it at least made the...
