A whole year had gone by and yet not much had changed for Stan other than the fact that he had finally moved out of the Beckett household. Living on his own in Brightstone village with a permanent job as a server at the Three Broomsticks was a dream come true, especially with his poor grades and...

Stan was looking forward to graduating even though it meant that he would no longer have the safety of Hogwarts to rely on on a daily basis. Knowing that he could not come back to the castle and transform without having to worry about a thing thanks to the Wolfsbane potion was a comfort that he...

Happy that Addison wanted to spend a little more time together throughout the coming semester, Stan listened as she gushed about her boyfriend. He felt bad when she confirmed that she was dating Augustus because it basically him admitting to his sister that he barely paid any attention to the...

''Did you think that you and I were not allowed to hang out just because Allison and I hung out more than you and I did?'' Stan asked. ''And here I thought that you were supposed to be the smartest out of the three of us,'' he teased. ''Do you want to hang out more next semester?'' He wouldn't...

''Tara is what Allie would have been if she would just relax every once in a while,'' the Gryffindor replied, hoping that the twin wouldn't get offended by this comparison. ''She's sweet and funny and intelligent, definitely bossy at times.'' He could literally ramble on for hours but stopped...

''I am going to miss you too,'' Stan replied. It was nice having another person around who happened to be just like him. It was even better that this person was also the one he was closest with at the castle. He was really going to miss her companionship and knew that it would be difficult not...

Stan thought that he was doing alright until Tara wanted to try something else instead. Following her lead, he placed his hands on her waist and smiled as she placed her arms over his shoulders. He knew that she was genuine when she told him that his effort had been wonderful, the Gryffindor...

When Tara said that they should dance first and enjoy the rest afterwards, Stan unlaced their arms to grab his girlfriend's hand instead and led her towards the dance floor. He had tried his best to learn how to dance in the weeks leading up to the Yule Ball but he just couldn't memorise any of...

Ferne Wilmere was still singing her Christmas songs on the radio but Stan wished that the old coot would shut up already so that they could listen to some actually good music instead. He was convinced that part of the reason why it was so awkward at the moment was because Wilmere was singing...

''I would not say that you had to talk me into going. I think that I would have gone with you anyway.'' She did have to talk him into going but he wasn't protesting or making it difficult for her to persuade him. He actually really wanted to go with her, wanted to have a night with just the two...

Stan had learned from the Becketts that it was rude to stare at people. But as Tara descended the stairs, it was all he could do. She looked absolutely stunning. ''Hi,'' the Gryffindor said, chuckling awkwardly. Happy that she approved of his attire for the Yule Ball, he held onto her arm to...

Stan told himself that this wasn't awkward at all and that there was absolutely no reason at all for it to become awkward. And rightfully so, he had known his adopted sister for seven years by now and they had had plenty of conversations together in the past. Yet as the two of them sat silently...

Never in a million years did Stan think that going to the Yule Ball would excite him. He either did not care enough about the Yule Ball to go or was too sick and frail from the transformation and the lingering effects of the full moon. This time was different, this time the Gryffindor was very...

Stan smiled. ''At least I look hot,'' he joked. ''You look like a depressed vampire.'' He wasn't sure if he was such a fan of his new nickname but it was definitely better than the one Allison had chosen. Stanis, it reminded him too much of a life he did not want to be reminded of any longer. He...

Glad that Tara did not try and push him out of his comfort zone, the boy let her lace her arms through him as they continued to walk to the Gryffindor common room. ''Look who is talking,'' Stan replied. ''But it is ironic, indeed. It's funny, though, that we decided to dress up as creatures...

Stan had hoped that Tara would forget about the kissing part when he suggested that they should continue to head for the Gryffindor common room. Unfortunately, she hadn't. The truth was that he didn't know how to kiss and he didn't want to make a fool out of himself even more so than he had...

Stan let out a sigh of relief when Tara answered and smiled brightly at her as she brushed his hair back and touched his cheek, feeling all kinds of funny things happening in the pit of his stomach. ''What are you talking about?'' the Gryffindor said, regaining some of his confidence now that...

Stan could not tell whether or not Tara was really as experienced as she wanted him to believe but what she said seemed to be making sense to him, at least a bit. That meant that, per her logic, he was supposed to ask her to be his girlfriend and then kiss her. And then he could suddenly feel...

Stan grew silent for a moment, finally connecting the dots and understanding what she was saying. ''I don't know,'' Stan said softly, shrugging his shoulders. ''I have just never had a girlfriend before, so I don't really how that all works,'' he told her truthfully. He felt like a loser for...
