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...

Isadora couldn't quite believe this was her final yule ball ever. She had poured herself a drink and took in the great hall. So many of the dancing kids looked quite young to her now, was she really getting old? She wasn't ready to be an adult yet. She sighed, took a deep sip of her drink, then...

June was all settled back at Hogwarts. The lessons had started again and June was all on schedule, she even had some time left. An next goal on her list was something she could achieve next year. An shiny badge, which would make her prefect. June was kind of confident about her chances, she...

Margo felt nervous and she didn't even know why. She didn't even have that much to say when she really thought about it. But she always felt this way when her brother was involved. She had asked Isadora and Cameron to meet her in the courtyard but it felt too crowded and easy to be overheard so...

The band's so called family game night had potential to transform into a family game fight with the accompaniment of alcohol and everyone's competitive natures flaring up as a result, but in spite of this Leo had to admit he was entirely looking forward to the chance to see his band mates...

Emery settled into his usual Hogwarts routine immediately. It was the first morning of classes, and Emery headed down to breakfast a little early so he could sit in relative quiet. He had brought a book, and started reading it after serving himself some breakfast. He had mastered holding a book...

Anisha knew she should be happy. She should be proud she was the duelling champion again, for the second year in a row. But it didn't feel like she had won, probably because she hadn't. The only reason she now had this title was because stupid Terror had decided to give it up willingly. It was...

When the girls were young, Claudia always worried about Diana the least. She was able to stand up for herself very well, sometimes a little too well, and always seemed to grow up just a bit faster than the others. She had been stubbornly independent from the moment she could walk. Maybe, Claudia...

Ezra had been surprised at the sudden end of Dorian's duel, and had to grab his things in a hurry to catch up with him. He ran out of the duelling chamber, looking around for a moment before he spotted Dorian. "Hey, wait up!" He said, running to catch up with his friend. He felt bad for him, it...

Sometimes, Gwen was a little tired of René. He wasn't particularly exciting or thrilling and by now, very familiar. But as she sat on the lawn with his head in her lap as she studied, she had to admit it was kind of cute. She smiled down at him before turning the page in her book. She reached...

Louis hadn't considered that they might lose to Ravenclaw for even a moment. Ravenclaw had just felt like the stepping stone to the important match, probably against Slytherin. But now they had lost, and had lost any chance at getting the cup. Louis only had one year as captain, and he already...

Anisha was eager to get started on everything this semester. She had enjoyed most of her classes this week, especially Defence Against the Dark Arts, which was her favorite. They had gotten an assignment to write an essay about werewolves and Anisha was eager to get it done quickly. She was...

Set right after the start of year feast The start of year feast had been fine, it hadn't been bad at all. Still, Isadora felt antsy and frustrated. She had enjoyed talking to her classmates again, but it felt different and she was mad about it. She had also noticed Cameron looking at her from...

Celia really tried to limit the amount of time she spent in New Zealand during the breaks, but the need to get supplies for the upcoming school year complicated things. It was easy enough to buy potions ingredients and divination tools in Hanoi. The problem was finding books. Thankfully, she had...

Ethan felt a little queasy as he stumbled across the yard to the Wigham's house. He let himself in without a word like usual and somehow found his way to the kitchen. He felt like he was remote controlling his body as he sat down heavily in one of the well worn wooden chairs. His ears felt like...

Being back in New Zealand was weird. Nice, but weird. Isadora kept putting on clothes that were too thick for the weather, and she had found some of her mother’s Hungarian accent slipping into her own words, though she was pretty sure she had gotten rid of that already. She hated being like her...

Ezra was bored. Dorian had dragged him to the library because there were a few last minute books he just had to check out before the library closed for break, and now Ezra was sitting at one of the tables guarding a growing stack of books. Occasionally, Dorian would bring one back to him, then...

Louis returned from the pitch after an extra practice he had taken by himself. The latest Gryffindor practice had been a bit embarrassing, as he had missed several goals. Louis had decided today was a good time to work on his aim. He hummed to himself as he headed back to the castle. He decided...

Natalia couldn't quite wrap her mind around the fact that this was her final event at Hogwarts, as long as you didn't count the end of year feast or graduation. This would be the final dance at Hogwarts, at least, and she was glad she would be able to spend it with Salem again. This time, both...

Margo had asked Cameron to meet her in the student lounge which wasn't the most private of locations but she had found a quiet corner where they could talk. Actually talk. They had hung out last semester but they hadn't really talked, and especially not about this. But her first search with Abby...
