Linden entered the great hall hand in hand with Casper. this was their first actual event as a couple and after what had happened when they had told tara he was being extra wary making sure that he didn't let anything spook Cas. "Are you ready Buttercup?" he asked as they approached the door. if...

Renata enjoyed cooking - she had to, her mother was Italian, it was in her blood - but there was only so much she could learn from her nonna. Especially because nonnas seemed ill inclined to give any precise measurements and information to their daughters and granddaughters. As far as they were...

Christmas had always been a family affair in the Cullen household. Usually, it was not as big of an event as it was this year. This year there was her family, and the Ateara’s. She had also invited her adopted daughter’s mum and older brother from Germany. Linden had wanted to invite Casper and...

Stan told himself that this wasn't awkward at all and that there was absolutely no reason at all for it to become awkward. And rightfully so, he had known his adopted sister for seven years by now and they had had plenty of conversations together in the past. Yet as the two of them sat silently...

Linden had wanted to do something special for Christmas this year. He wasn't creative like Casper and he didn't have the people smarts that any of his sisters had. He had had an idea and when he had brought it up with Tara she had been keen. It would be an early Christmas present because...

It was nearly exam week. Not that it meant much to linden. Being seventh year had its advantages and disadvantages. And he wasn’t entirely sure which the fact that they had no exams this semester was. It meant that right now they were not as stressed as most of the other students but also meant...

Linden didn't know what was going on with him. how had he messed it all up. It was his NEWT year and he was drastically behind in his classes. he had lost his touch at quidditch and had probably been lucky that the last game had been over so quickly he hadn't had to do anything. and then...

Kate was hoping that this wouldn't have happened. Surely she couldn't be punished for not being able to speak in class? She almost felt sick to her stomach. What would her parents say? Being called to a Professors office after her first class? Katherine had half a mind to just stay in her bed...

Caelan did not know what to bring the woman. Clearly, she was not easily impressed with flowers and chocolate. Still, he got a single long-stemmed yellow rose. He was told that yellow means forgiveness and that's his main intention of coming here. He owed it to Kira to let him know where Celeste...

Slate was still shaking as he quickly made his way up the stairs. He was now confused, should he go to the common room or the owlery? Instead, his feet brought him to the seventh-floor corridor, a few meters from where the entrance to the Gryffindor common room would be. He slid down to the...

For two lessons in a row, Aine had failed to perform the stunning spell. She'd been paired with a smug looking Ravenclaw boy - Valerius, that was his name, wasn't it? - who she was sure was looking down on her for not being very good at magic. But even if he was looking down on her, she had no...

Theo was rather in the mood to do something this weekend but not the kind a bachelor would do. He cleaned his apartment, washed dishes from the night before and did his laundry. He was kind of proud about the accomplishments he had done for once. Only to look inside his fridge and cupboard. They...

Set august 2055 A few months ago Briar had heard that there was a young werewolf who had been caught in the foster system continually running away on full moons to the extent that her department had become aware of the small werewolf. It hadn't taken long for briar to decide to take her in. The...

Sweetest Ava, Three weeks have quickly gone by. I've settled well in my job. It still feels surreal to be back here as a different person. I know you're still angry at me but I just hope we'll get through this. I moved because of you, to be closer. I just hope you can see that. I can't wait to...

In the half a year that she had spent abroad going through ancient tombs and long-forgotten ruins, Milly never expected that she would lose her notebook because of a nasty curse going off right as she was about to leave a tomb with all its treasures in her backpack. But there she was, entering a...

One of the things Ana Sofia loved about being back at school was the opportunity to head into the arts room and use everything she wanted to. She had plenty of art supplies at home and had even packed a bunch of them in her trunk for the past couple of years but nothing compared to just...

Noelle was just going over some lesson notes left by Professor Styx when he heard a meow. He looked up to the empty classroom with an open door to see who or what it was. Nothing. He resumed his work and decided to keep the old exam sheets the man had for the sixth year for the next semester...

At last, Rion had escaped the clutch of her grandpa's hand. She was free! Well, sort of. She threw her arms in the air to acknowledge his warning to stay within sight, and then promptly plunged into a deep crowd that had enclosed the raffle table. When she emerged at the front and stood up...

Noelle had sent word, out of excitement, to Ava about his accepted position to teach at Hogwarts. He thought she would be happy for him and that be excited that they would be closer now. The opposite happened. Like somewhere along with the words of 'haunted house' and 'ghoul'. With this, Noelle...

Stan knew that he didn't have the right to suddenly start to care about Casper again after having ignored the Becketts for years while at Hogwarts, but the Hufflepuff had run away from home and Stan had been worried out of his mind ever since. Casper had been gone for a little over a week now...
