"I guess I don't need to," said Callie. "But I still want to. Anyway, it's not like I have much choice. What am I going to do, fly home?" Actually, if she got better on a broomstick, that might not have been impossible. But she really did want to learn magic. It would be useful around the house...

Callie moved around to Nia's side, realising that neither behind nor in front of her were sensible places to stand. "You look like a ghost sticking your head through a door," she said. "The flowers make it less spooky. I like them, though." She glanced around at the various drink and snack...

Callie grinned. She was definitely taking muggle studies, if only to point out any mistakes in the syllabus and get an easy outstanding grade. The boy must have really enjoyed maths if he was willing to study it in his spare time without really knowing what he was going to do with it. Maybe he...

Callie moved her books to make room for the boy to put his own down, if he wanted to stay. "Thanks," she said, "but I already asked one of the professors. It's actually the study of muggles and their habits, not muggle subjects. But you can tell me anyway. I bet they've got all sorts of things...

"Oh!" Callie's face lit up at the sight of the statistics books. "Do they teach maths in your year?" Discovering first years weren't allowed to take muggle subjects had been devastating. Yes, she was a witch, and that was amazing, but what if she still wanted to be an oncologist when she grew...

Callie linked her arm through Nia's, feeling even more confident with her best friend by her side. The fact the older Gryffindor was encouraging them helped a bit, too. But Kael, if that was his name, didn't seem so interested in entertaining them. "A trouble-maker?" said Callie. "But we're not...

Callie was struggling to come up with a good retort when suddenly Nia materialised to supply one for her. Nia! Her timing was perfect in more ways than one, for Callie had intended to go and look for her after her eavesdropping session. She grinned, raising her brow at the Slytherin prefect and...

Callie stumbled back as the door opened into her. A look of guilt crossed her face, until she remembered she had a right to be here and frowned. "What?" she said. "I was just listening. That's not against the rules, is it?"

Callie struck a line through the entire page and looked up. "Yeah," she said, heat rushing to her face. He wasn't going to make fun of her, was he? He wouldn't be the first. "It's algebra. Did you need one of these books? Sorry - you can take them."

The library was surprisingly busy for the time of day. Callie supposed she should have guessed people would bring their lunch here. It was the perfect place to eat - warm, and peaceful, if a little less peaceful for every person who had the same idea. Luckily, she'd managed to secure herself a...

Callie pressed her ear up against the door to the prefects' common room. There was a meeting in progress, she'd heard, and what better way to find out what being a prefect here entailed than to listen in? She wasn't doing any harm. Unfortunately, the wood of the door was thick and she couldn't...

Lilith and Eoghan!!

MATE :hug: Edit: still mate but less enthusiastic

Callie had had some private reservations about Nia's costume idea; it was a bit silly, really, especially as nobody would understand the reference except the three of them taking part, and perhaps Professor Cade. But as she didn't have any better ideas, she'd soon agreed, helping as much as she...

Callie scowled. "I never said Gryffindor was better. I said it was better for me," she said, without much conviction, because she couldn't actually remember how she'd worded it. Ugh - he was one of those sorts. The sort who thought sport was the most important thing in the entire universe and...

"I know," said Callie, tucking her own letter into an envelope. "I'm just being practical. He's not our friend, is he? He'd old. Old enough to be our dad." She wasn't trying to make her Nia feel bad. Having grown up with the internet, she simply felt more qualified to judge such situations...

I'M OBSESSED WITH ALL MY GIFTS :cry: I had the biggest smile on my face looking through each of them this morning :') Thank you so much Faye, you're so sweet <3 Going to put these aesthetics in her sig rn hehehe Merry Christmas everyone!!

Callie could tell Nia wasn't happy, but she only felt bad for a few seconds before she remembered she was doing the right thing - both in protecting her friend, and teaching her about the dangers of the world. She leaned over the letter as she read it one more time. Much better. "Yep. I'm...

10/10 aaaah professor Jacobs!!! :wub:
