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...

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...

Celia was relieved to have a brand new slate of professors this year. Aside from a select few, she didn't like her old teachers very much. Most of them had been utterly inept, cancelling class at the last minute or giving them pointless assignments. One professor Celia would miss was Professor...

Callum had no reason to be anxious, but these days he didn't seem to need one. Waking up was enough to make him jittery. The interminable grind of work wasn't helping. He'd enjoyed it once. Ha! Remember that? Remember waking up and feeling excited? Times had changed. All that persisted now was...

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...

Poppy had been confident in her decision to take a year off before starting university. She felt like she needed the time to figure out exactly what she wanted to do and how she was going to get there. But she wasn't about to spend a year doing nothing. In the end she had thrown herself into a...

Nikko was nervous about coming to the Yule Ball. It was hard to think how different things were only a year ago. He had had a date. He thought he was happy. He thought they both were. But looking back maybe that was just what he wanted to think. It was impossible to know. It wasn't like he could...

Louis had asked Hamish to the dance on a whim, but was pretty glad he had done it. The boy was pretty cute, and Louis always enjoyed hanging out with other Quidditch players. He had seen Elizabella was with the other twin, which was kind of amusing. He wondered if they were on a date or just...

Augustus had been looking forward to tonight, even though it felt a bit bittersweet, knowing this would be the final Yule Ball at Hogwarts. He was glad to spend it with Addison, knowing Ryan wouldn't interrupt. He trusted his friend to keep his word. Augustus adjusted his suit, hoping Addison...

Lars had had a busy couple of weeks. Between getting married and going on a honeymoon, he felt like he'd hardly had time for his friends and family lately. Lars was still a bit on cloud nine from the honeymoon, but it was time to return back to their normal life. Blake was already back to work...

Open after Akihiro Gwen had been honored when Akihiro asked her to the Halloween Feast. She wasn't sure if she wanted to commit and date him quite yet, but it was nice to go to these events with a date. She hummed softly to herself as she waited for him to appear, checking her appearance in the...

Augustus knew he hadn't been the best boyfriend lately, it had been difficult with Ryan breathing down his neck. Now that they had talked, though... Augustus had some hope it would be better. He had been looking for Addison, and paused in the doorway of the student lounge when he spotted her...

The interviews were going well, and Celia was confident that she and Jenna would soon have the perfect starting group for their sorority. They still needed to officially discuss who they would be admitting, but so far, it had been pretty obvious to Celia who would fit in well and who wouldn't...

Augustus had been looking forward to tonight. He and Addison were going to have a great time together, without Ryan. Surely Ryan would know better than to disturb them on Valentine's day, right? Especially after Augustus had spent more time with his friend before the dance. Ryan couldn't argue...

Felix had told Theia he would meet her for lunch but he had run late leaving the herbology greenhouse and raced into the great hall to look for his sister. He scanned the whole Slytherin table for her familiar grumpy expression but he couldn't find her anywhere. He sighed and realized that she...

Augustus was used to the general feeling of anxiety he usually had, but tonight it was a bit worse. He really, really liked Addison, but he had felt lately like he was messing up every part of being her boyfriend. He had never dated anyone before, and he wanted to do it right. He just sometimes...

Open after Jess posts with Zerrin Emery was glad he didn't have to keep tagging along with his mom and sister. After they had visited Dervish and Bange's and Emery had gotten a new set of gobstones, he had been tired of shopping. Unfortunately, his sister apparently needed a lot of new clothes...

Weston's foray into the Halloween Feast this year had barely lasted fifteen minutes before it got cut short. While he was a bit disappointed he couldn't spend more time chatting with ghosts and admiring the creepy decorations, he knew it was for the best. Jordie needed him, and he'd rather spend...

Isadora was climbing a tree, mostly to see how high she could get. But her foot slipped and she fell out of the tree, landing on the soft grass below with a loud curse. It was a good thing her mother wasn't here to hear it, she would have sent her to her room for sure. She sat up, rubbing her back.
