((Open after Rowan and I get a few replies in)) If there was one thing that Celia had learned over the past year, it was that nothing good ever came by mail. For a while, she had tried to eat breakfast alone so that she could avoid any questions about why she never opened her mail at the table...

Continued from here Eric couldn't recall the last time he had felt like this. He must have been a very small child, before he started to realize he could put his emotions away on the inside and force them out as anger eventually. Now, Eric didn't feel angry. He just felt sad, crushed, empty. He...

Caleb had always appreciated the clarity he got when he made his way to the cliffs. The danger kept him sharp in a way he never felt stuck in a classroom. The wind whipped at his face and despite the summer looming just out of reach it was a bit chilly all the way up here. He looked down for a...

The first clue had been while Analei had been walking through Obsidian Harbour. A woman had approached and stopped her, and though the lady assured her it was a happy vision, they were near Bleak Street, so Analei just brushed it off as an odd occurrence. She didn't think about it again until...

Santiago knew being sent to Hogwarts was supposed to be some kind of punishment but he hadn't expected it to feel so much like a prison already. Classes hadn't even started and he was counting down the days till he got to go home. He couldn't handle everyone else's excitement and he had ended up...

Linden had a few weeks off work. he needed them to recover. it was funny, usually he was the one looking after cas, the last time cas had had a gallery to plan for he was the one who made him food, made sure he ate it and that he showered and in general looked after himself. but now the tides...

Ezra loved being back at Hogwarts, but it was a little annoying that his best friend in the world was in a different house than him. Mostly because he could never find Dorian when he needed him. He had been hoping to run into Dorian so they could have lunch together, but he didn’t see him...

Eric had no idea if this was a good plan or not, but he felt like he needed to do this for Connor’s sake. Things between them hadn’t gotten any better since their argument and Eric wanted it to stop. He needed Connor, and he needed Connor to be okay. He knew his mum was trying to shield him from...

Penelope felt a little weird about Holden being at Hogwarts. In the past, sharing schools with him had never been a very enjoyable experience for either of them. But Penny was determined for Hogwarts to be different. Holden just needed to be open for it, he would see it was full of good things...

Between his career as an Auror taking up each weekday, and spending his weekends taking care of Miro, Flavio found he had little time for himself. Usually this is what he wanted, the hustle and bustle of always being busy and being around his colleagues and family keeping his mind away from what...

It always did Claudia good to see such a full table, people chatting and laughing together as they ate. She reached over and squeezed her husband's hand, glad they were all together. The whole family was here, along with the family of Phoebe's significant other Charlie. Claudia had been a bit...

Isadora never properly cleaned out her trunk or schoolbag, it wasn't something that really mattered to her, and she could usually think of more fun ways to spend her time. But that did mean that in the bottom of her bag were a bunch of old papers from the last two school years she no longer...

One would think that past candidates for the minister of magic would be the kinds of people who would be smartly dressed men in suits, shirts and neatly styled hair, and defiantly not the types of people who had a collection ot tattoos. However, briar was proof that this was not the case. While...

Open After Rowan Conan loved the castle so far. It was so cool and so much bigger than what Molly and Nolan had described. It was so much better than what he anticipated too. Conan was glad to be with his big brother and sister, even though he wasn't placed in the same house as them, which...

Felix was looking forward to getting to hang out with Giulia some more. He knew the language barrier between them cause trouble sometimes but he was always more than happy to work through it. She always recommended him the best books and even helped him study when it came to anything other than...

Odette found it hard to believe where life had taken her. Here she was, at the wedding of an older half-brother she hadn't known existed for the first thirteen years of her life, where he was marrying the older brother of her old enemy/friend/girlfriend. Her adopted mum and siblings were here...

The weather was too nice to stay inside, but outside on the great lawn it was more difficult to play gobstones. The courtyard was much better suited, so Emery had marked a spot for him and Rāwhiti by putting his bag and cloak down on the ground. People would just have to walk around them. Emery...

While Minnie was at work, Eric had decided to be helpful and pack up some more of their things. They were in the process of moving out of his mother's house, which was great, since Connor now also lived here. Eric loved his brother, but it was getting kind of crowded. Connor had also been in a...

Louis had been looking for Giulia, she was getting way too good at staying out of his way. But after searching for a while, he realized she was probably in a place he never visited: the library. As he headed there, he was glad to be right. He spotted his sister almost immediately and grinned. He...
