old school week

"Old School Week" ( or "OSW" as we've affectionately taken to calling it ^_^ ) has become a staple on HNZ, after first being introduced as a suggestion from two site members - Jesse and Ash. Camilla is the most recent winner of the prize during White 🐘 to decide when OSW would take place, and...

Katherine needed to decorate the hall for Halloween later that night. Everyone had finished lunch so it was mostly empty. She waved her wand at the ceiling and it turned into a night sky filled with bats. She pondered it for a minute, deciding if she should do anything different this year.

Leonardo was at the lake front. Just looking out at the water. It was a nice day.

Grace had been putting away the brooms after the first year's flying lesson, when the urge to fly had come over her. She had kept one broom behind when locking them in the shed, then grabbed a quaffle as well. As much as Grace enjoyed teaching, she did sometimes miss playing. She still followed...

While Iris knew she had a lot of homework to catch up on, she couldn't quite resist the pull of the Divination books in the library. It started when she saw one interesting title, and before she knew it she had a whole stack. She carried it over to a nearby table, barely able to see in front of her.

It was a quiet day in the hospital wing, and Josephine hoped it could stay that way. She was lost in thought as she worked on changing the sheets on the beds, using her wand to do most of the work. She hoped she could have dinner with Angel tonight, but he was pretty busy now that he was head of...

While Augustus loved spending time with Addison and enjoyed hanging out with Ryan and Finn as well, sometimes he just needed time to himself. He had decided to go to the cliffs, which overlooked the lake. He was still sort of hoping to spot the eel. He had brought a book and made himself...

Jasper had been a bit bored lately, and finding an old pack of canary creams in his trunk over the break had given him an idea. Hogwarts needed some livening up, and Jasper was the person to do it. He'd taken the canary creams with him, and was now lounging around on the second floor looking for...

Abian had enjoyed being part of the quidditch team, and enjoyed practices. But in his opinion, there weren't quite enough. If it was up to him, he would be in the air all the time. It was a lot more fun than homework or studying. So once he had a free moment, Abian had grabbed an old football...

Lars had seen many portraits and landscapes on the walls of Hogwarts, and many had inspired him in his own art. But there was one on the fifth floor in a very unique style that definitely stayed with him. But more than that, he had enjoyed talking to the painting. He was hoping to spot her...

Aisa hadn't taken much time lately to just sit down and make music, and now that she had a free period, she had decided to do so. She headed over to the conglomerated arts room, as she preferred playing there where it was less likely others would interrupt her. She had brought her guitar, and...

Simone was nearly out of breath after rushing from her dorm room down to the lawn. She had completely forgotten about the fireworks she had bought last summer with the intention of some kind of forgotten senior prank. That was until she found them under her bed after she went searching for her...

Sofia ran towards the lake feeling the warm sun on her back. "It's the perfect day for a swim!" She said happily to, her friend, @Lily Harbour. The Hufflepuff was wearing a yellow, one-piece swimsuit and she was happy that her other swimsuit fitted Lil perfectly. The water was surprisingly...

Aonghas had gotten a brand new broom over the break. He hadn't bothered to tell his dad that he quit the team, and just kept the broom and had brought it to the pitch. He was no long on the team, but he could still fly. So he got on the broom and flew up into the air.

Padme had come to the library, the girl had been curious about the yearbooks, and knew from her brother that there were old versions, from as far back as the start of the school. But went to Year 31, when she knew her brother had been a first year, and began flicking through the old yearbook.

It was a warm day, so naturally, Harper had decided to spend it outside. She'd spent most of the afternoon tucked away on a low tree branch, reading, but now her eyes needed a break. Nestling the book in some branch above her, she surveyed the Great Lawn. An idea came to her. She inched down the...

Summer was always Blue's favourite, even if a chunk of it was spent in silence with the school empty for the holiday break. She enjoyed the longer days and lingering sun in the evening, the light hitting her hallway just so. Enjoying the warmth of the late afternoon, Blue had leant against her...

Saira called for Henry as she entered the owlery. An owl came swooping down on her arm, flapping it's wings wildly. "Hello to you too, Henry." She gave him a mouse treat that she had bought a while ago and watched as he devoured the treat.

Lily was staying at school over the holiday and decided to window shop in Brightstone. After a day of walking around alone looking at everything in every window, Lily headed over to the park and sat down on a swing, she swayed herself waiting for company

Lily was staying at school over break, and all she did was sleep eat and stare. No reading or anything. She was tired of being in the form or the common room and went up to the north tower staring across the landscape, alone with the view.
