It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Susie was sitting on the lawn near the lake. All around her she had spread out cushions, blankets, and bowls of snacks, ready for the arrival of her classmates. Who would turn up? The flyer she'd spread around the school had said that all ages were...

Vanity was getting kind of tired of these Hogwarts events, so she hadn't tried as hard with her costume as she'd done other years. Last year some stupid Ravenclaw girl had won a prize for being a vampire when Vanity had also been a vampire, a better one. So she had decided she didn't care about...

Hazel thought she looked really nice in her costume this year. It wasn't as unique as she liked to normally dress, but thankfully she hadn't seen that many cheerleaders this year. She had two green and silver pompoms to go with her outfit and was trying to figure out an easy way to carry them...

Daiki hadn't bothered with a costume this time around again. He just didn't really see the point in it, it was just a costume and he didn't need to worry about wearing one. He had come to the great hall, and was hoping to spend the time with Kairi, he just hadn't seen her much this semester, but...

Despite now being a third year, and knowing what halloween was about, Magne hadn't really thought ahead to ensure he had a costume for the celebration, but he'd just taken the usual sailor outfit that he wore, added a made eye patch and a fake map and he could pretend to be a pirate looking for...

Enoch had been trying this semester, really trying to be interested and engaged with what the school offered. It was having some mixed results. He was doing a little better in his classes, which couldn't come a moment too soon given his OWLs, but as soon as he stepped into the great hall for the...

Callie had tried a little with this costume, she had tended to favour costumes which weren't obvious or where you had to maybe think a little about it, but she found the fake sword and then made a costume around it. It was a simple costume really, but she liked it. She knew she could go simply...

Savannah had decided for her last halloween, she'd dress as something good, but not something silly. She wanted to look nice, for people to think she looked nice. Forget the old costumes she'd had when she'd first joined the school, but a really nice costume that suited her. So she had found an...

The thing was, Henri had a costume. His mother had packed one for him for this celebration, and yet, he had completely forgotten that it was something that was happening until he'd stepped into the hall. He'd gotten so lost in his books, that he had forgotten it was halloween. He had come to the...

Logan had heard about the Halloween feast from Hazel and had been excited for weeks. He had prepared a cool costume, way cooler than his sister's costume who seemed preoccupied by being pretty instead of scary. Like anyone cared about that. Halloween was supposed to be about the scares and the...

Teddy's Halloween costume wasn't much of a costume at all, but in his defence, he’d been busy for the last couple of weeks to even think about it and before he'd known, it was Halloween already. Last year, lessons and running the Brotherhood felt like a lot, but this year was another level...

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...
