  1. Delilah Thorne

    Open Practice Make Perfect

    Delilah made her way quickly and quietly through the castle to the abandoned classroom carrying her violin case. She really didn't want to be seen, and then have to explain her instrument or deal with people asking her to play them a song. All she wanted was to practice in peace but ever since...
  2. Nikko Blackwood

    Open Same Old Lines

    Nikko paced around the owlery once he attached his letter to his parent's and set it off. He still wrote to them regularly even though he rarely got a response. Which was fine since his mom didn't know much about mail by owl and his father probably thought it was bad for the owls, or something...
  3. Lars van Houten

    Old School Week Seeking a Familiar Face

    Lars had seen many portraits and landscapes on the walls of Hogwarts, and many had inspired him in his own art. But there was one on the fifth floor in a very unique style that definitely stayed with him. But more than that, he had enjoyed talking to the painting. He was hoping to spot her...
  4. Aisa Hunter

    Old School Week Letting Music Speak

    Aisa hadn't taken much time lately to just sit down and make music, and now that she had a free period, she had decided to do so. She headed over to the conglomerated arts room, as she preferred playing there where it was less likely others would interrupt her. She had brought her guitar, and...
  5. Delilah Thorne

    Old School Week Sink Like A Stone

    Delilah had always liked to have time to herself and since being back at school she had found it nearly impossible to find any peace and quiet. So she decided to go on a walk and ended up at the lake. Somehow it was nearly empty despite it being quite a nice day. She picked up a smooth flat rock...
  6. Matt Alcott-Ward

    Old School Week Painted Personality

    Matt had just picked up a new book at the library, and he was pretty pleased. He was now on his way back to his office, but as usual took a slight detour to pass all the magical portraits in on the second floor. He enjoyed chatting to them occasionally, and waved at a few in passing. They were...
  7. Indira Khatri

    Open Just Some Research

    Indi walked around Obsidain Harbor keeping her eyes peeled for every little detail she could take in. She had known about magic for years since her mother was a witch although she hardly did magic herself. She preferred a more muggle lifestyle and even married one after her dad left. Indi had...
  8. Eric Holland

    Open No Expectations

    Ever since his argument with Minnie, Eric had been in a foul mood. His fight with Kas didn't help either, and he was avoiding both of them now. He had been stupid to think they were ever his friends, especially Minnie. She hadn't even said she wanted to be his friend, they had just had one nice...
  9. Robyn Taylor

    Open Here for a Year

    Robyn had been a mix of emotions when she found out she was really coming to New Zealand for a year. She had been ecstatic, excited, relieved, and had felt as though a big burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She could finally take a break from her life in America and come spend it in a...
  10. Augustus Westwick

    Open Discussing Strategies

    Augustus had finished his homework and for once, didn't feel like reading. He had grabbed his set of wizarding chess pieces and moved to the student lounge. The odds of finding anyone there to play with was slim, but that was alright. He had the pieces to keep him company, as well as his pet...
  11. Lucas Fletcher

    Open Curious About the Dark

    Lucas had been excited to return to Hogwarts, and he had definitely missed the school during break. There were a ton of things in the muggle world he had missed while at Hogwarts, but after only a few days he had found himself missing the magic of Hogwarts. And now he was back, excited about his...
  12. Chrysander Kaster

    Open Regrets

    Anyone who knew Chrys, knew he never went to the library. He was not the kind of person who studied (and let's be honest his grades definitely proved it), the only class he'd done well in was Transfiguration and given his father was an animagus, one could have been forgiven for suggesting he'd...
  13. Emori Pourroulis

    Open Restless

    Emori was already enjoying her time at Hogwarts, it was fun and she had been acquainted with the girls in her dorm. They seemed like a wild bunch, a couple of them were annoying and seemed to hate everyone and anything but that wasn’t exactly Em’s problem. It just didn’t seem right for them to...
  14. Marlee Haywood

    Open Playing football game.

  15. Abian Hunter

    Open Musical Memory

    Abian had been studying for the OWLs for what felt like an eternity now, but they were getting closer and he couldn't stop. He'd put too much effort into it now to give up, and knew he'd never forgive himself if he slacked off in the final weeks and got bad grades. He had always gotten pretty...
  16. Rowan Baros

    Open Dancing in the Dark

    Rowan had absolutely no idea why she'd thought it would be a good idea to go to the Forbidden Forest. She knew she was likely going to get into trouble, but since last year had gotten interrupted, she'd been meaning to go back and just never had the chance. She had to babysit a bunch of first...
  17. Mary Lou Layton

    Open Let your heart decide

    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...
  18. Lars van Houten

    Open Loves Me Not

    Lars had kept the rose Elliot had sent him for a little while. Of course he had. He hadn't known what to do with it, as he had ignored the deliverer's stupid suggestion to give it back to the Wild Patch Club. What he should have done was just throw it away, like Elliot had done with his heart...
  19. Elsie Baros

    Open Artistic Musings

    It wasn't every day that Elsie got to let her hair down. Well, figuratively anyway. Literally, she'd barely rolled out of bed and pulled her hair into a messy bun before she'd casually taken her leave of the common room and made her way somewhere peaceful. Even though this was a place that...
  20. Alice Briar

    Open Lonesome

    Alice was relieved that Valentine's day was now behind her. It had been a strain, making sure the whole rose process had gone smoothly. She normally felt energized by all the love around on that day, but this year she had been exhausted and sad. Ever since Blake had humiliated her at the yule...
