Sadie was excited to go to the dances. First of all, it was exciting, she could see Soren with Aurora, enjoy the snacks and drinks and just dance all out. Maybe even hang out with someone. So she dressed up cutely, made her hair, did her makeup and then went to the Great Hall. Sadie squeezed...

Initially agreeing to the idea of writing to his parents on a weekly basis, Teddy shifted to a monthly occurrence very early on in his Hogwarts life. And now, his correspondence had become more sporadic, triggered by specific events or needs that prompted him to communicate with them. On this...

Mercury had found that she liked sitting at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Part of it was because other students tended not to bother her there, but also because part of her was intrigued by the forest. Maybe it was because her dreams tended to be so frightening that the woods didn't seem so...

Santiago knew it was a lost cause to bother with the Valentine's day dance but being cooped up in his room while everyone had fun without him seemed worse. At least if he sulked at one of the tables he could at least pretend like he was particiapted and not a total loser. He tore up a napkin...

Louis had given up any pretense of doing his homework. Ever since his conversation with René last year, he hadn't been able to stop thinking about Caleb. Did he... like him? It seemed likely, though Louis had never really focused his attention on one person like thatat before. Caleb wasn't just...

Post Gryff/Huff S2 Game Elara hadn’t really been that hurt by the bludgers. Her knee was sore, but not enough that it was impacting her ability to walk. But either way, Elara took the opportunity to go to the Hospital Wing, hoping one of the staff would be sympathetic enough to let her stay the...

Aika enjoyed the time outside of the dorm at this time of the year. She just wished that she could be home with her dad, brother and uncle Chal during summer instead of being at school, but still, here she was. Excited for the holidays but while waiting, she decided to put some blanket on the...

Ethan didn't really get what was the big deal about Valentine's day. He had skipped out on the Yule Ball last semester but he figured he should at least try and be social this time. Even if all the pink and flowers made him a little uncomfortable. He didn't have much of a plan as he entered the...

Indi was getting used to the fact that her sister was also at school. She wasn't happy about it by any means but she was slowly finding her way towards acceptance. Yet she still found herself on guard when she was in the great hall and was ready to flee the moment she heard the familiar voice of...

Delilah wasn't exactly surprised that she had ended up alone at a table by herself at her second to last Valentine's dance. Somehow it made a lot of sense that she had ended up in this position. Nothing else in her life had gone to plan, why would her love life. But if things had gone according...

Niamh stepped into the arts club. It was a rainy Saturday just that mo monotonous grey level of rain between being fun to play out in and being exciting to watch. She had the intention of playing but as she entered she headed towards the painting art section. For once it was empty. A couple of...

Liesel was stuck. It didn't seem to matter how many times the staircase turned; it never connected to another descending flight. The only way she could go was back up to the towers. Even if she took another ascending flight and tried a different route, the staircases above never aligned to any...

Post Y40 Quidditch Cup Match Juniper had kept it together for her team right after the game, but as she removed her padding for the last time, the Ravenclaw knew she couldn't go straight back to the tower. It was too embarassing. They were so close, and maybe she had put too much pressure on...

Delilah wasn't sure why she decided to come to the dance. She didn't have a date but that wasn't new. She had been hiding all day and had expected to continue that tonight. But there had been a moment earlier that night when the rest of her roommates had left, when she had been all alone that...

Ever since Abby had arrived at Hogwarts, the girl had always been curious about the Forbidden Forest. She didn't know why this forest always took over her curiosity, but she always thought of it every time she walked past it or she was a bit nervous to walk into the forest to explore, even...

[set during the Yule ball] Delilah couldn't shake the feeling like she was doing something wrong. She had come up to the north tower to get as far away from people as she could but when she closed her eyes she could swear that she still heard music. With a frustrated sigh she closed her book...

Emma was very aware of the NEWTs at the end of the year, especially because her sister kept reminding her of them. She knew she was unlikely to do very well on any written parts, but that just meant she had to do well on practical bits. Instead of doing something boring like studying, Emma had...

Caleb couldn't stand to be in the castle these days. With everyone fretting about exams and the ball, it seemed like those two topics were the only thing people were talking about these days. He was getting tired of it fast and wanted to get away and thankfully since everyone was stuck inside...

Augustus had been walking through the corridors, lost in thought when he suddenly saw a big group of people blocking the hallway. They had been talking and laughing together and there had been no way Augustus could simply squeeze past them. He would've had to ask them if he could pass. Instead...

Poppy had always loved the garden. It was a peaceful place where she could surround herself with beautiful things. There was nothing better in her opinion. "You all look lovely today." she said to the hydrangea bush before sitting down next to a patch of wild flowers. "And you too of course."...
