Caleb wasn't sure why he liked it so much out here by the lake. But he found himself out there more often than not when he felt restless, like his bones were too big for his body and if he didn't start walking he would explode. They used to have a pond in their backyard in the house back in...

Caleb was not pleased with his start to the semester and it seemed to keep getting worse. It was bad enough that Louis had gotten a prefect's badge over the break but Celia too. He knew she wouldn't hesitate to target him specifically just because she didn't like him. But he guessed it made...

Anisha was regretting not taking Raafe with her to the library, or bringing some sort of cart or something. She had been a little too enthusiastic, borrowing as many books as she could. Now, she had to carry the whole stack with her to the common room. It was heavy and so tall she could barely...

Anisha had been planning this for a while, ever since she had sneaked Indi's Charms book out of her trunk before they left for the train. She knew she wanted to learn the cool spells her sister was learning, they were definitely cooler than whatever they'd be learning in class. Anisha had spent...

Gwen had been looking forward to hanging out with her friends all break, so she had sent Molly and Renata a note on one of the first days of term to meet her in the student lounge after classes were done. She wanted to hang out and just have some girl talk while doing their nails. She had...

Indi had been a little surprised when she had been asked to help run the Student Defense Association with Flynn. She had never really talked to him much outside of club meetings. Even during meetings she couldn't remember a time she had said anything other than a polite hello. They were rivals...

Ethan had become quite comfortable in the forest. It wasn't too different than the other forests he had been in growing up. Of all the places he had lived growing up, the mountain towns in the middle of forests where his favorites. He would spend hours walking around hoping to find traces of...

Felix was looking forward to getting to hang out with Giulia some more. He knew the language barrier between them cause trouble sometimes but he was always more than happy to work through it. She always recommended him the best books and even helped him study when it came to anything other than...

Louis sometimes felt like he spent most of his time at Hogwarts just looking for people. It was such a big castle and all his friends were spread across the different houses. He had grabbed some candy from his trunk to share with whoever he found first, but as he had gotten bored wandering...

Odette found it hard to believe where life had taken her. Here she was, at the wedding of an older half-brother she hadn't known existed for the first thirteen years of her life, where he was marrying the older brother of her old enemy/friend/girlfriend. Her adopted mum and siblings were here...

Last year, Emery had mostly spent time with Rāwhiti, the only kid at school he would consider a friend. Emery hadn't seen any problem with that, as he didn't see why he would need more than one friend. But lately he had been realizing it was a bit inconvenient that Rāwhiti was in a different...

Louis wasn't always the best at keeping up with his friends, but he tried. Elizabella had asked him for a souvenir from France, and Louis had actually remembered this time. He grinned as he spotted her at the Hufflepuff table and dropped into the seat next to her He placed a pretty gift box on...

Emery had tried to convince his parents they really didn't need to go on another trip to Europe, but they hadn't listened. Both his parents were clearly miserably missing out on their work, though they seemed to be pretending to love the trip for the sake of Emery and his sisters. After a lot of...

Lucas felt oddly nervous about hanging out with Kas today. Last time he had seen him they hadn't had the time to properly talk, and now it felt like it would be their first true reunion since Kas had been expelled. Lucas had agreed to meet him after work, so he was hanging out outside the...

Lucas had been anxious about his guests. He had invited Connor and Kas, and had been very worried Kas wouldn't show up. He had been happy to see both of them in the audience during his speech, but he still hadn't actually talked to Kas, not since he suddenly disappeared from the school last...

Sometimes Josephine questioned her wish to work at a school, of all places. She liked her job, loved being a nurse, but dealing with hormonal teenagers all day wasn't her favorite part of it. They could be frustrating and while Josephine sometimes saw herself in them, that didn't exactly help in...

Louis was pretty pleased with his date for the dance tonight. He'd had his eye on Nolan for a while now, as he was definitely one of the most handsome guys in their year. Louis had been a little nervous asking him, as he hadn't been entirely sure Nolan would want to go with a guy. But he had...

The weather was too nice to stay inside, but outside on the great lawn it was more difficult to play gobstones. The courtyard was much better suited, so Emery had marked a spot for him and Rāwhiti by putting his bag and cloak down on the ground. People would just have to walk around them. Emery...

It was the first day of the semester and Augustus knew he had to find Addison as soon as he could. It was important. They had been together for a while now, going to dances together and spending a lot of time together. But there was something Augustus hadn't told her, something he had been...

While Minnie was at work, Eric had decided to be helpful and pack up some more of their things. They were in the process of moving out of his mother's house, which was great, since Connor now also lived here. Eric loved his brother, but it was getting kind of crowded. Connor had also been in a...
