    A Preemptive Absence Note

    Hi! I'm kind of hoping this absence note won't be needed, but based on the past few weeks, I have a feeling I'll be pretty slow for the next month or so. I've got some work deadlines and other life things I need to take care of over the next week. And then from Oct 25 to Nov 6, I'll be...

    Closed A Way to the Future

    Even though Harper knew she'd always be welcome at her parents' house, there was no denying that it was about time that she moved out. (And not just because Lila kept making pointed comments about their shared room.) Most of her friends were living in dorms or their own flats, and Harper was...

    Closed Before the Tide Rises

    Harper had always been an optimist, but it seemed she had been a little too hopeful about the weather today. It was warm and sunny, perfect beach weather if it weren't for the fact that the water was practically freezing. She supposed she could try using a warming charm or two, but she didn't...

    Closed Give My Best to the Place Where I Grew Up

    If Harper was being honest, accepting the job offer from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement had terrified her. She had spent so much time straddling both the magical and muggle worlds, and taking the auror job felt like one more step down a path she wasn't sure she would be able to turn...

    Closed Pumping Blood

    Harper had always thought herself a decent duelist, but a single training session with the other aurors had quickly put an end to that notion. She was badly out of practice, which made sense since she hadn't entered a duel since her Hogwarts days. It was nothing she couldn't remedy with more...

    Closed Barlights

    As much as Harper had enjoyed her travels, she was glad to be back home. New Zealand was where she belonged, she'd discovered, and while she'd loved getting to meet new people, the transitory nature of those relationships had made them bittersweet. Every friend made was a friend eventually lost...

    Image Hosts?

    Finally taking Cyndi's advice and creating a topic about this Does anyone have recommendations for a good image host? Imgur seems to have started to crack down on hotlinking (which has always been against their TOS)**. I recently tried using them to host a photo for the Photo Challenge, but it...

    Open Won’t You Come and Get Lost With Me?

    In hindsight, buying a portkey off a stranger on the side of the road probably hadn't been the smartest idea. Harper wasn't sure where she was, but she could tell this was definitely not Mongolia. For one, it was still light out. She was also not standing in the middle of a desert. When Harper...

    Closed Been Looking at the Skyline and Our Timeline

    When Harper had agreed to guide Charles through the animagus training process, she hadn't given much thought to just how much time she was committing herself to. All she'd wanted to do was repay the favour. Besides, she had been pretty sure that Charles would complete his training quickly. She...

    Closed We Drew Our Own Constellations

    Old School Week I Don't Wanna Wait for the Endless Summer

    It was a little too windy for it to be ideal beach weather, but that hadn't stopped Harper from heading out anyways. The sun was shining, and she wasn't working today. She really had no excuse not to go, especially since magic made travel so easy. Harper was in the middle of spreading out her...

    Open I Learn My Lessons From the Birds

    Since completing her animagus training, Harper had found herself spending a lot of time in the Owlery. She'd never liked the room much before, finding it a bit too musty for her taste. But now that she could turn herself into a falcon, she no longer had to deal with the dirty straw or rodent...

    Closed In the Dark, the Stars — They Found Me

    Over the course of Harper's studies, she'd come across many different methods for becoming an animagus. There were potions and spells and rituals and superstitions and on and on, and it was difficult separating fact from myth. Firsthand accounts were rare, and the literature was awash with...

    Closed Made With Adrenaline

    Winning the Duelling Tournament hadn't officially made it onto Harper's seventh year bucket list, but it was still a goal she hoped to accomplish. She'd managed to win last year with some charm work, and she was hoping to defend her title this year without resorting to such trickery. It would be...

    Closed One More Summer Before I Grow Up

    Harper had been a little apprehensive about the break. Would it be strange, she wondered, to come home and see all her friends starting their adult lives while she still had a semester of school left? What was she supposed to say when they asked about her own plans? Thankfully, most of her...

    Closed Keep On Sending Those Words

    There were a lot of things Harper would miss about Hogwarts next year. Writing letters was not one of them. She was looking forward to texts and calls and instant messages and even emails. Of course, she would continue writing letters to all her magical friends who didn't have cell phones, but...

    Closed You're Gonna Find Your Start

    As much as Harper enjoyed being a seventh year, being the oldest in the school also came with some undeniable downsides. There were NEWTs, of course, and the pressure of having to come up with post-grad plans. But the one that she was least looking forward to was having to spend another year...

    Closed Let the Wild Come In

    For more than six years, Harper had attended ever single class without fail. It wasn't that difficult of a feat considering she lived at school and magic could cure most minor ailments. But that was going to change today. Inspired by old teen movies and a couple high school bucket lists on the...
