The sorting ceremony had come to a close, and Matt smiled at the sight of the fresh new faces at all the new tables. He had always been fond of the sorting ceremony, he was glad to be a part of it now. Matt stood up, waited a few moments for everyone to settle down, then spoke. "Good evening...

Tori had to sometimes wonder if the reason she could never pin Jasper down was because he liked the thought of being chased through the castle. He was never where he was supposed to be so she wasn't even sure he had a list of preferred places to frequent. Not like if she was looking for Eoghan...

Callie could admit that it had been a little disappointing when she hadn't been named as prefect - though understandable. She knew Marley would be good at it, that the other girl would manage it, but she felt just a little tinge of sadness at her own...failing? Could it be called that. She...

Henri was busy, though he would say that his primary interest was on bugs, and had been for a while, the sorting, and the sorting hat had turned his attention a little elsewhere. He had gone to the library after dinner that day, classes were just about to start, so he figure it would be quiet...

The end of the school year was here, the end of another year as headmaster. Some of the students wouldn't come back, they graduated and would start their adult lives as witches and wizards. Most of the students would simply have a well-deserved break before returning to Hogwarts. Matt was...

Emery was upset and had been since the Valentine's Dance. He had never been as humiliated in his life, and he had been forced to drag Raawhiti down with him in this pool of embarrassment. But what had the other option been? Saying yes? It was insane, and he knew Raawhiti probably knew that deep...

ID#123059 Grace didn't often get asked to assist in school events, so she was oddly honored when the Brotherhood and Heta Omega leaders approached her with an idea. She though it sounded fun. A tug of war event was a new one, and she wondered how the two clubs would fare against each other...

Friday had almost not bothered with this dance, but then as she had nothing better to do, and everyone else was getting ready she had just decided to go. She had put on a nice dress, done her hair nice and made sure she looked good. She stepped into the great hall, and did immediately notice her...

Coming to dances when he couldn't really hear any of it, was perhaps not his brightest idea. But he almost did it out of ritual, it was the thing happening, so though he wasn't in a position to really enjoy it like everyone else, he still went along. Gregory had remained at the back of the hall...

Savannah wasn't feeling great about this dance, she had failed at quidditch and failed at duelling, two things she had wanted so desperately to be good at. She just wasn't good at those things, but had little else going for her, and sure one missed snitch and one failed duel wasn't the end of...

Apolline had been excited for the dance, the semester was underway and she was already feeling the pressure of her classes, of the work she needed to do for things. Apolline was therefore glad for an event to let her hair down. She had wondered if Jean or Caius would've maybe asked her to the...

Declan was unsure about the move at first when his parents told him they were going to be moving to a whole new country. It meant he had to leave everything he knew behind. He had to leave his friends behind. Sure he had his cousins here in New Zealand, but it wasn't really the same. His cousins...

It was now during the school break, and Marley was happy to spend her time during the break with her family as well as the friends she had missed while she was away at school. The Hufflepuff had lingered in the park for some time now. She had been a bit bored in the house, so she wanted to spend...

Enoch wasn't sure why he bothered, but after having told Teddy about his parents, and the conversation he'd had with Alicia and also then Vanity, he was feeling perhaps a little less...empty than before. It wasn't enough to make him go back home, his brothers, none of them had reached out to him...

Magne walked into the great hall, and was very eager for the dance. He liked that the dances were so important to people, that people put in a lot of effort. He had put more in that the year before, wearing, this time an actual suit, though it was a little big for him, and seemed a little old...

Apolline had seen the dress during the brightstone weekend and though it wasn't a floor length gown, or anything fancy like that, it was a pretty dress, with nice flowers on it, and she was wear little white heels that didn't overly hurt her feet. She was eager to get to dancing, eager to spend...

Telling his head of house about the loss of his hearing hadn't really changed much. he was sure it had filtered to his professors who had given him a little more time in the exams practical elements, and used methods other than speaking to give him the instructions. It had helped bring his...

Savannah knew she didn't exactly endear herself to people to be asked on a date, and 99% of the time, she didn't mind, but this was the one percent when she did. When it would've been nice for someone to have asked her. She wasn't interested in anyone, her own feelings about relationships...

Marley always enjoyed and liked the school events. They were pretty fun and she either got to meet new people at them or spent time with her friends which she always enjoyed. The Hufflepuff looked at herself in the mirror one last time, making sure she looked presentable before heading down to...

Hazel was proud of her dress tonight, she had made it herself. She'd had a bit of help from her mother over break, but most of it had been done on her own. Hazel was eager to show it off. The dress was red with little black dots all over it, the sleeves sheer. She was fairly sure it would stand...
