Violette had been cooped up inside all day, she had done some studying, written a letter to her parents and to her sister, then did a bit of reading. She had decided she should stretch her legs and at least go outside for a bit, packing up the chocolates her mother had sent with her latest...

It always did Claudia good to see such a full table, people chatting and laughing together as they ate. She reached over and squeezed her husband's hand, glad they were all together. The whole family was here, along with the family of Phoebe's significant other Charlie. Claudia had been a bit...

Lars quite liked the life he was living right now. He liked spending most of his days indoors, getting to paint for hours without anyone disturbing him until Blake came home. He also rather liked spending time with Blake, a lot. But he had recently realized he hadn't really spoken to a non-Blake...

Isadora never properly cleaned out her trunk or schoolbag, it wasn't something that really mattered to her, and she could usually think of more fun ways to spend her time. But that did mean that in the bottom of her bag were a bunch of old papers from the last two school years she no longer...

It was easy to see why the cliffs were out of bounds for students, as they were very dangerous, but Isadora couldn't help herself, this spot at the top of the cliffs was one of her favorite parts of the Hogwarts grounds. She had been here a few times before, but not usually by herself. She...

After seeing how successful a box of macarons had been as a gift when he had given it to Elizabella, Louis wished he had bought a few more to hand out. Unfortunately, he had only bought one box for himself, but he had decided to make the most of it. He had eaten a few of the sweets, and decided...

Penelope wasn't sure what she had expected to find in the library, but she hadn't thought it would be this busy at the start of the year. Most of the usual tables were full of students, and she guessed a few of them were study groups trying to get ahead of the homework rush that would happen...

Ethan would never admit it but he was a little scared about what might happen. The plan had fallen into place rather quickly. A little too quickly and he hadn't had much time to mentally prepare. It all started with the ouija board he had gotten over the break and decided to bring to school...

Indi was hoping that by sitting at the Ravenclaw table it would be enough to throw her sister and cousin off her scent. She had foolishly hoped that when they all got to school they would avoid her like the plague. She knew if she was in their position the last thing she would want to do was...

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...
