  1. Henri Fontaine

    Open Some Peace

    Henri had come outside, the quidditch practice was just over and he'd tripped on the way to the changing room. he was just unwilling to go back inside, even though the weather was pretty terrible. Overcast, though not raining, and cold but not too cold. He glanced towards the school and where...
  2. Apolline Fontaine

    Open The Most Important Year

    Apolline wasn't sure she was ready for her final year at school. She was however beginning it, and she had decided, though it was barely a second into things that she'd come to the library. At least there she would be able to focus on things which were of importance. Tangible. Her studies. She...
  3. Freddie Lagowski

    Just Watching

    Freddie lingered near the tables, watching some boys roll an enormous gourd across the grass. Some people had already started carving. It looked fun. Everyone was smiling, laughing, messing around, throwing pumpkin guts at each other- and it was sunny, warm and sunny, like winter was gone for...
  4. Sofia Gutierrez

    Making Waves

    Sofia was decidedly not getting into a large, sticky pumpkin boat where all its stringy tendrils could cling and wrap around her as she struggled to float in the middle of the lake. Plus, the chances of her tipping over and falling into the lake were too high for her liking. So instead she did...
  5. Jasper Beese

    It's going down

    Jasper had somehow successfully convinced himself before getting in the pumpkin that this was a great idea. Just a seasonal once in a lifetime splashy-splashy event to celebrate 50 years, and one the school wouldn't host if it was dangerous. Everyone’s doing it, carving out giant pumpkins and...
  6. Natsuko Hirano

    Making (Without) Magic

    Natsuko didn't know many spells just yet. The school year had just begun for her, after all. That wasn't about to stop her though. She grabbed a massive pumpkin, stumbling a little as she put it on its side and tried to open up the top to scoop out the insides. She'd never really done this sort...
  7. Oliver Harper

    Open Branched Curiosity

    It had been about a week since Oliver had been at Hogwarts. So far, he had enjoyed everything about it. The lessons were a bit boring if he was being honest, but other than that, he enjoyed meeting his roommates and hoped to make some friends during his time at school. The new Gryffindor had...
  8. Briony Mettlestone

    Open Suitable Conversation

    Briony had heard a rumour and now she couldn't let it go. The idea was too juicy and she was already distracted enough on her way to class. Last year she'd fully walked right past Charms and into the Hospital Wing because she'd gotten too distracted by a particularly engaging cobweb on one of...
  9. Jonathan Boot

    Open Lofty Goals

    Ostensibly, Jono was here for flying practice. Or seeking practice. Any practice that had him, on a broom, not making a fool of himself in front of the rest of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Which he was now on. Jono shook out his shoulders, trying to chase away the feeling of dread at the idea...
  10. Tessaria Carter

    Open Anger and Sadness

    Tessaria started the new school year with a positive mindset, etched into her by her father who thought of nothing but daisies and rainbows, even when faced with a storm. But as Tess found out the news that she, yet again, didn't make it onto the Quidditch team, she didn't have any ounce of...
  11. Amanita Castillo

    Open For First Years, By First Years

    Amanita scowled at the head people across the hall, arms crossed for maximum disapproval. She had nothing against the head girl, Lucy Montague seemed fine. But Pirrip. Now he gave students with professor parents a bad name. And no doubt only had his connections to thank for his current position...
  12. Aiya Owens-Lee

    Open How do owls even work?

    As Aiya headed into her second year after her break, she realised just how much she missed her family whilst she was at Hogwarts. Spending time with her aunties and uncles was always exciting, and of course hanging out with her father when he was willing to spend money on a sweet treat for her...
  13. Winnie Calida

    Open Working Hard or Hardly Working

    Winnie knew that every year of her schooling was important, but this was undoubtedly about to be the most important of them. She was a fourth year, and she knew her parents expected her, by her fifth year to have managed to become a prefect. There was so much riding upon it, and she wasn't sure...
  14. Magne Kleos

    Open Stargazing

    Magne always had a little trouble readjusting to being back. certainly being out on a boat for the whole break wasn't for everyone, but for Magne it was everything. he loved it. The gentleness with which the sea would rock him to sleep. He was used to it. But school was nothing like that, it was...
  15. Apolline Fontaine

    Open Next Steps

    Apolline had been very happy with her OWL results. she felt happy that she'd managed it, that she hadn't completely failed. She knew it would be unlikely, given that she had never failed before, but Apolline hadn't let herself run into that risk. She was now a sixth year, with only a couple of...
  16. Callie Cardoso

    Open Seventh Years Study Group

    Callie was sure that day one of seventh year, was too early to start the study group up. But Callie also knew that this were about to be near impossible exams. She had a lot of classes too, having never really narrowed her magical interests down, but she was eager to just get to a point where...
  17. Henri Fontaine

    Open Falling Down A Flight of Stairs

    Henri was rushing, he had places to be. The sun was up, the day was supposed to be warm, and he had taken his broom, and was rushing outside. He had been reading on moves one could do when playing quidditch, the stats related to them, how cool they looked, and had definitely wanted to give a...
  18. Vanity Mettlestone

    Open Overdue Power Trip

    Vanity could not believe she'd had her prefect badge for more than two years now and still had barely ever taken points off anyone. The thing was useless besides that, so she hoped she could at least find someone to take points off this year. It would have been great tot take some from June or...
  19. Teddy Pirrip

    Open First Year Castle Tour

    Teddy had never doubted he’d get the head boy badge. Enough people had told him it was a certainty that he would’ve been genuinely shocked if it had gone to any other boy in his year. The head girl choice didn’t surprise him either and he was so relieved that it wasn’t Audrey. Lucy was perfect...
  20. Oliver Harper

    Open Sideline Watching

    Ollie was bummed that, as a first-year, he wasn't really able to try out for the team. It sucked, and he absolutely loved Quidditch too. He was sure so many first years were bummed about that, too. However, that didn't mean he could miss the opportunity to see his brother try out for the team...
