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...

Celia was still grumbling as she left the Ancient Runes classroom. Why did they need to go out and find someone to perform a reading for? Couldn't they just do that in class? Or, better yet, why couldn't Professor Josephs just teach them something new? Who cared if it wouldn't be on the NEWT...

Louis was over the moon because of the Quidditch win. Gryffindor had really needed a win, and Louis was proud to have been a part of it, even if it was only a little bit. He was desperate to talk about the match, so he went looking for René so he could talk to his friend. He knew René would...

Conan was pretty determined to try and explore as much of Hogwarts as he possibly could to try and find all the little nooks and crannies that the Professors didn't want people to know about. And one spot that had been near the top of the list was the old bathroom he had been hearing about. No...

Tired and hungry, Max let his backpack fall to the ground as he sat down next to Conan at the Ravenclaw table. They had just come from History of Magic, which proved to be as boring as ever, so lunch couldn't have come at a better time. ''I'm already not looking forward to History of Magic this...

Seventh year. Weston still wasn't sure how he'd wound up reaching his final year at Hogwarts. Earlier that day, he'd received his parents' annual first day care package, and he had been struck with the realisation that this would be his last first day of school. Ever. He could still remember his...

Jingyi was determined to try and be better this year. Now Xinyi was coming back to school, Jingyi wanted things to be better between them, to be a better brother and actually support his twin. And he was sure as heck going to try, not making any comments about how he enjoyed drawing and being so...

Felix hadn't known what to expect things to look like after he asked Molly out. But so far things had been great and he really appreciated the fact that he hadn't had to think about who he would ask to the dance. He had still stolen some flowers from the school's garden and asked her earlier in...
