open!

Raafe had always liked cameras in theory, he liked old stuff, especially old muggle stuff, but he'd never really used them for anything other than snapping a few random photos of things around the house or outside. Taking portraits of people seemed like a whole nother level, more so than being...

Marnie couldn't believe they were only a few weeks into the school year and she'd already managed to lose her rememberall. Admittedly, she'd already lost the last two she had, but at least she'd had the good sense to lose them over the holidays and not actually during the school year when she...

Briony traced a finger along the window pane, chasing raindrops down the glass as the rain continued on outside. It was morning tea break already but the rain hadn't let up yet and Briony was itching to get outside. There'd no doubt be worms all over the footpath outside and someone would need...

Raafe had heard a rumour that there used to be a something special hidden on the Seventh floor and it'd piqued his interest. So far all he'd found was an old armoire, though he was eagerly investigating it, trying to wedge open the stubbornly stuck drawer with little success so far.

Kiara wasn't a huge fan of Halloween and yet that had never kept her from attending the feast. Even if she wasn't particularly keen on getting startled or being around some of the scary students that other students came up with. She had put some effort into her costume and had dressed completely...

Two months. It'd been over two months since he'd seen Isadora. She'd buggered off to Durmstrag hadn't even bothered to try to say goodbye to them in person. All he got instead was some stupid letters. How was he supposed to reply to that? Was he just supposed to respond to her owls like...

If there was anything Senna had learned during her first year at Hogwarts it was that every party at the school was a good party. And one she had to attend. Even if it meant having to put a little more effort into her appearance. She didn't dislike it though, quite keen to put on a pretty dress...

This is meant to be set right after the Duelling Tournament ignore my poor time management Brooke's breath came in short, sharp bursts as she tried to keep it under control until she was safely sequestered in the club room, away from the gathered spectators of the duelling tournament. She didn't...

Jingyi was honestly surprised that he hadn't come up with an idea like this one before. It had just struck him over breakfast and he instantly knew that he had to make the most of this rather genius idea. So, there he was climbing his way up the North Tower with arms filled with water balloons...

Admittedly, Chloë had been dreading the yule ball this year ever so slightly. Not just because it was the last one she would ever attend but also because Sully wasn't there to share it with her. At least not in person. He had brought up the idea of her bringing a cardboard cutout version of...

While Halloween hadn't exactly been her cup of tea, Kiara had chosen to believe her brother when he had told her that there was no way she wouldn't enjoy the yule ball. There would be music, food and everything and everyone would be all dressed up. That's what she had gathered from all of the...

If there was one thing Ivelisse didn't like it was others making choices for her. Yet here she was, walking into the great hall in a dress that she hadn't even picked out herself. Her sister had bought it to wear but it ended up no fitting her and for whatever reason Ive had let her convince her...

Kiara had never specifically been a fan of Halloween, not like her older brother anyways. But he could be persuasive and after all of his stories about how great the school's parties were and how it would be a mistake for her to skip out on it she had decided to go anyways. After struggling with...

Molly's break had been okay. She was excited to see her parents and her younger siblings. But there wasn't much magic or mythical creatures that she could see at home. Her younger brother had shown her his shells that he had recently collected for his shell collection and her sister was too busy...

Emma was glad to be back at Hogwarts, though she wasn't very excited for her classes or the OWLs. She was hopeful for this semester, though. There was a Quidditch game soon and she was hoping that she could spend some more time with Issac. The night at the yule ball had been a lot of fun, though...

Isaiah was absolutely stoked for the school's halloween party. His family had always told him how much fun the parties at hogwarts were and after last year he had definitely agreed with that. It isn't a surprise that he had been looking forward to the halloween feast for a little while now, glad...

Xiuying had only been in Hogwarts for a few days, and so far it had been interesting. The castle was a lot bigger than she had expected. She saw the quidditch pitch a few times, as well as doing a few exploring moments. But today, the girl had decided that she was going to take a different...

With the semester wrapping up Chloë knew she had to actually start at one point if she was to be prepared for her exams, keep her grades up. Luckily, she wasn't the only one. Running a bit late to the fourth year study session she entered the library, heading for the group of fourth years only...

It was inevitable, really, for Chrys to have a moment where he struggled to hold it together. When news of his friend's death had first reached him, he'd struggled to really pluck the correct emotion into his feelings and subsequently instead spent the time rationalising all of it to himself...

Mary Lou was wrist deep in batter as she flipped her bowl over to pour the contents onto the counter. The Flour was in a lovely neat little pile (experienced bakers almost never lost control of their supply) and she began to carefully knead it into a lovely log. She wasn't entirely sure what she...
