Odette hadn't felt this nervous since her first game as a Macaws beater, but just like back then, she had to push through and do what she had to do. She put one foot in front of the other, taking each step deliberately with her hands stuffed in her pockets and her hood over her face. She...

Tyler had reconsidered this idea at least a hundred times, but here he was in the end anyway. He couldn't believe he was in front of Blake's door, holding a stupidly expensive bottle of wine as if that would fix the friendship he broke when they were boys at Hogwarts. But he couldn't ignore that...

Alicia had been angry for a few days after the breakup with Marama, and it had been nice. It had felt good to just be furious, it was something she could draw energy from. She had been angry at training, angry in classes, angry at the Halloween Feast. But eventually, the anger drained away, and...

Anisha Khatri had loved the Hogwarts library from the moment she had stepped foot in it as a first year. Over the years, she had spent many hours here, browsing for books, doing homework, reading curled up in a chair. She was very familiar with all the different sections and had a few favorite...

After seeing Savannah at a few dances last year and talking to her more and more, Ezra had decided it might be time to ask her out. At the speed dating event they had briefly talked and Savnnah had basically said he could ask her out if he wanted, but then he had gotten too nervous and dropped...

It was nearing curfew and Anisha was still in the library. She knew she should go soon, but she was having fun reading and taking notes. Sometimes she wondered if she wouldn't have been a better Ravenclaw, but she did enjoy being in Gryffindor a lot. Ravenclaw seemed like it could potentially be...

Marley had still been surprised that she had been picked as co-captain for the quidditch team. While she had been on the team for a while now, having the title of co-captain hadn't been something she was expecting or had she seen coming. She co-captained with Bailey, and Bailey was nice. Marley...

Logan had decided to go exploring the castle the moment he had the chance. It was huge, bigger than any other building he had ever been in before. It was pretty old too, or at least looked like it was. He had heard Hazel complain in the past about all the stairs she had to climb to meet up with...

Arachne had been going to the Obsidian Daycare for a few years now, and she wasn't intimidated by it usually. But on any other day, she was here together with her sister. Today, Nessie was sick, and Arachne still had to go to school. She probably could have pushed her mother a little harder to...

After the graduation ceremony Eric knew he wanted to congratulate Penelope as a family, he knew it would mean a lot to her and he felt responsible for her. Their dad not being there was a glaring obvious thing, and it infuriated him on her behalf. So the least they could do was be there for her...

Emery had been seized by the fear of losing Raawhiti forever after graduation, as he realized how much easier it woud be for him to slip away after they left the castle. So once the graduation ceremony was over, Emery had left his seat and pushed his way through the row so he could corner...

Penelope had calmed down a little now. She had stayed with Todd for a while and he had helped her feel better, but she still felt deeply upset about how the game had gone. The nurse had finally made Todd leave and then told Penny she could leave if she wanted to. Penny had told her she was still...

Penelope couldn't help it, she was crying as she sat in her bed at the hospital wing. It wasn't because of the bludgers, even though they hurt. It was just this whole situation. Here she was at her final game at Hogwarts, and she was knocked out in only a few minutes. She wiped at her eyes...

After the yule ball, Vanity hadn't honestly wanted to go to the Valentine's Dance with Holden, but to her surprise he had seemed to assume they would go together. She hadn't corrected him, mostly because it was better to show up with a crappy date than with no date at all. She did remember how...

Alicia had never had a girlfriend before, but she was really enjoying it. She and Marama had agreed to date after the Yule Ball, so this was their first real event as girlfriends. Alicia had put on a flowery dress for the occasion and had met up with her girlfriend at the common room. They had...

Ezra was angry. He was angry with Gregory, he was angry with their teachers, but mostly he was angry with himself. Gregory had finally told them what was going on with him, and Ezra felt incredibly stupid for not realizing his friend (roommate?) had been unable to hear for at least a whole...

Vanity stood in the entrance hall, watching happy couples leave and still hearing sounds of the dance in the background. She had left the great hall once Holden had left her. The date had been a disaster. She told herself it didn't matter, she had looked cute on his arm and he had looked...

Cyrus was a coward. He knew it and he felt like everyone else could see it too. He had almost worked up the courage to ask Kairi to the dance, to at least hang out together like they had at the Halloween Feast. But... he hadn't. Maybe it was for the best, he lamented as he took a sip of his...

Alicia wasn't completely inexperienced when it came to romance, but she had never gone to a ball with someone before. She had known about the dances at Hogwarts beforehand, so she had brought a dress, but she had never thought she would get asked out by a cute girl. A cute girl who also happened...

Eric had thought a lot about how to do this. It hadn't been easy, he wasn't a very romantic person and wasn't very good at big gestures. Yet, here he was, in the spot he had first met Minnie nearly fifteen years ago. They had only been kids, not even old enough to go to Hogwarts yet. Eric still...
