Open after Maria posts with Eloise January was happy to be back at school, and was relieved to be back with her friends. She had gotten so lucky to get along with all of them, and she couldn't help but worry about June down in the dungeons. If she was being honest with herself she could...

Miles didn't mind keeping an eye on Oliver for Theo, after all, it was the kind of thing that friends were supposed to do for each other. And while he did have to admit that the younger Gryffindor was ever so slightly annoying, Miles was simply trying to ignore that bit. He just wanted to be...

Eris was so annoyed with Gaia right now, she'd had one question but the girl was nowhere to be seen. Seriously she'd thought sharing a common room with the girl would make it easier to find her, but no when she had a question the redhead had disappeared like a fart in the desert. Instead she'd...

Felix was buzzing. The show had gone great, the crowd had loved it, and every one of his fellow performers were at the top of their game. But it wasn't just being back in New Zealand that had him showing off a bit. Molly said she was coming tonight. He had tried to focus on only what was in...

Open after Maria posts with Declan While Arachne loved Hogwarts castle, she had to admit she loved the grounds even more. It was a chilly day early in September, but she had the urge to spend it outside. Wrapped in a big scarf, Arachne stepped onto the grassy field and took a deep breath. It...

"Oh, c'mon." When Freddie wanted to use the art room, it was always full of people, but when he only came in to get some fabric, it was completely empty. "Hi, Brielle," he said, as he passed his favorite guitar hanging up on the rack. "I'll be back later, 'kay? Got stuff to do. People to hang...

AJ felt like he was buzzing with energy, he had all morning. He'd hurried his family along through breakfast, eager to get to the station and to the train. Some part of him was sure something would go terribly wrong, something huge that would cause him not to go to Hogwarts after all. So what AJ...

It was strange, to be the youngest professor here. Louis knew he was hardly a professor, instructor was probably a better name for his position. But still. He had been happily surprised to see someone around his age on the staff, and someone he knew as well. Molly Burke had been his roommate's...

Arachne had trouble adjusting to being on her own. She and Nessie spent most of their free time together, but they couldn't escape small moments where they had to be in different places. It felt strange and not entirely bad, though Arachne wouldn't tell Nessie that. But even though she didn't...

Miles had been disappointed when his sister didn't end up in Gryffindor with him. He had been hoping, but it turned out that the hat thought she was more suited to Hufflepuff than she was to Gryffindor. Which he supposed was fine, just because they were in different houses didn't mean they...

Logan was glad to be back at school, even if the school part of Hogwarts was mostly very boring. He was hanging out with Theodore, who was hanging out with Miles. So he supposed they were all hanging out, though they both seemed to talk mostly to Theodore. Logan got the feeling Miles never quite...

Open after Maria posts with Theo, please let us get in a few replies before catching them with a prefect or professor though! From the moment Logan had heard that there was a curfew, he'd had the itch to break it. Surely it wasn't really that big a deal, right? He really wanted to explore the...

Teddy was so excited! His parents were away tonight and agreed to let him have friends over for a sleepover while they were away, and he couldn’t wait. Teddy had never hosted anyone from Hogwarts before and choosing which three friends to invite had been easy. Amodeus, because he was his best...

Arachne had been going to the Obsidian Daycare for a few years now, and she wasn't intimidated by it usually. But on any other day, she was here together with her sister. Today, Nessie was sick, and Arachne still had to go to school. She probably could have pushed her mother a little harder to...

Sybil didn't waste much time before losing herself in the library. There were just so many books she felt herself get dizzy every time she entered. She had always thought her father had an impressive book collection but she should have known an actual library would be much much better. She was...

Hazel loved creating things. For the first few years at Hogwarts, she had mostly focused on accessoires, like clay earrings or beaded necklaces, but now... she had really focused on fabric over break. She was able to sew things together pretty well, though she knew she could still use the...

Oskar still found it hard to believe he had not made the starting line up on the quidditch team over a first year. Had his performance been that horrible? Or had he made some kind of unspoken mistake? It wasn't like he knew any of the social intricacies of this school. He wouldn't be surprised...

There was no reason for Miro not to believe that in being part of the Gryffindor team, he was by default friends with all the other players. He assumed that by being a team the camaraderie alone was enough for them to be friends outside of the pitch, that in flying as one with the common goal of...

Gwen was determined to make this her year at Hogwarts. It was the last chance she had, after all. She wasn't going to let anyone outshine her and that included her friends. She had seen Molly a few times briefly after the break and she seemed sad. Gwen wanted to know what happened and to see if...

Celia had been restless ever since the match against Hufflepuff. The forfeit had ensured that Hufflepuff's run as Quidditch champions was over and that Slytherin had a place in the championship match, but it had also opened up a new can of worms. First, it meant that she was only guaranteed one...
