  1. Christa Langley

    Open let it down

    *Set after this class Christa stepped out of the classroom, her notebook clutched tightly to her chest and her brow furrowed in through. The brisk air of the corridor was a welcome contrast to the heavy atmosphere of the lesson she had just left. Unforgivable cures? Azkaban? How do people even...
  2. Professor Adorah Zumwalt

    Open Unofficial Pep Club: Slytherin vs. Gryffindor

    Professor Zumwalt admired the pep club from stands far away and was not cheering along.
  3. Susie Lagowski

    Open The Writing Circle

    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...
  4. Matt Alcott-Ward

    Y48 Start of Year Feast

    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...
  5. Victoria de Lacey

    Open Is Jasper here?

    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...
  6. Callie Cardoso

    Open Flowerful Hands

    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...
  7. Henri Fontaine

    Open Curfew Doesn't Apply

    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...
  8. Matt Alcott-Ward

    Open Y47 End of Year Feast

    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...
  9. Emery Mettlestone

    Open Hiding Away

    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...
  10. Grace Holland

    Open Brotherhood vs Heta Omega: Tug of War

    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...
  11. Friday Weeks

    Open One Cupcake

    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...
  12. Gregory Friend

    Open In This Silence

    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...
  13. Savannah Walters

    Open Failing Thoughts

    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...
  14. Apolline Fontaine

    Open I'll Dance Anyway

    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...
  15. Declan Burke

    Open New Country, New Adventures

    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...
  16. Marley Owens-Lee

    Open Chain Full of Daisies

    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...
  17. Ezra Ito

    Open Cowardice or Sense?

    OOC: for any teachers/prefects, he's not actually in the forest (yet) Ezra Ito had been feeling off lately. The whole mess with Gregory was getting to him. He hated the feeling that he had made his roommate dislike him. He was frustrated with Gregory but also with himself. Ezra didn't feel...
  18. Enoch Goldewyn

    Open No One To Write To

    Enoch had been a little thrown by the reading in Divination. He just hadn't expected the answer to his question to be that, no one could know either. No one would figure it out, but he'd left the room in a hurry and his mind in it's frustration and annoyance had driven him to the library...
  19. Magne Kleos

    Open Heard There's A Giant Thing In There

    After his first year at the school, Magne had found out that there was supposedly some massive creature within the lake. He had been keen to figure out how true this was. He'd spoken to his mother who had said it was possible, depending on the size of the lake, and reminded him about magic and...
  20. Arthur Larson

    Open A Quiet One

    Arthur had never been the most outgoing of his family, his twin had been. Arthur had always hung back as things happened around him. He was certainly feeling that. The only people he'd spoken to really so far were the two older boys and the ghost. Which of course. Arthur was a little late to...
