Ever since the sort-of-breakup with Lily, Jasper had wanted to talk to Nell again. But at the same time, he didn't really want to talk about relationship things with Nell anymore because the last time it had been... weird. Still, he'd found himself missing her company and longing to just hang...

Eric had been in a bad mood lately, and that usually meant he wasn't paying a lot of attention to anything else. But after he'd picked up an abandoned copy of the school paper and had spotted his name in it, he'd realized there was something going on he hadn't paid any attention to. He'd been...

Jasper was confused, pretty much constantly these days. He was trying his best to focus on other things than girls, but both Lily and Nell popped up in his head almost constantly. He'd kissed them both and he'd been at the dances with them as well. Did he like one of them? Both? Neither? Jasper...

After the latest potions class, Ivy immediately wanted to read up on the information they'd need for next week. She was not doing as well in her classes as she wanted, even if she had perfect grades. Ivy just wanted to... stand out and impress her teachers, but somehow it was difficult to do so...

Lars had been trying to keep himself busy to distract himself from his thoughts about Blake, and mostly their argument. It had made him feel nervous, an anxiety that seemed impossible to shake. How could something feel so right, and at the same time feel bad? He loved being with Blake, and often...

Alice was a bit nervous about having Elliot over, but she was excited as well. As tiring as her family sometimes was, she really did love them and wanted them to meet Elliot. The boy had been a bit nervous about it all, probably both because of her mother and her sister Diana, but she hoped that...

Drinking the felix felicis had Knox feeling renewed and energetic, and as if anything and everything he wanted to happen would happen if he willed it to. As if he were invincible and powerful and he could materialize his wildest dreams just by thinking about them and wishing for them to appear...

Lars felt exhausted, absolutely exhausted. He wanted to go hide underneath his blankets in bed, but didn't actually want to face anyone in Ravenclaw tower. He felt responsible for their loss, after Minnie had been taken off the field he should have inspired everyone. Instead, he just watched as...

Michael was hoping that this new school would be a similar layout as his previous one in Scotland, but there were quite a few differences. He could easily find his dorm, but he was having trouble keeping track of where his classes would be as well as all the clubs they seemed to have here. He...

Open after Rowan posts with Connor It had been a few years now that Alice had been doing these tours. She was pretty sure this would be her third time, after taking over from Kauri Tipene a few years ago. It would also be her last time, which was a little saddening. But she felt extra proud...

When Lars had found the note in his bag, he hadn't been entirely surprised. Leaving Blake alone after the Valentine's Dance had been strange. He'd shared something so personal with him that it felt like they were connected now in some way. He hadn't been sure if Blake had felt the same way, or...

It was valentines day. Selene had been so busy delivering roses that she had hardly any time to spend with her girlfriend. They had got dressed up and had gone to the great hall. It had been fun getting their pictures taken but there were so many people around the romantic feeling felt so fake...

He really should have tried on his suit before today, Lars reflected as he tugged on the too-short sleeves on his way to the great hall. He had been sure the one he had worn last year would have been fine for tonight, but he should have realized his too tall body hadn't stopped growing yet. It...

For once, Lars was grateful for his height. He had been able to step over other people's legs on the way out of the stands fairly easily, and rushing back tot he castle also went fast with his long legs. And if he focused simply on getting there, he didn't have to think about Minnie or Elliot's...

Eric had told his brother they would eat breakfast together today, and he was glad he'd done so. It at least made him feel a bit less lonely than he had lately. Things hadn't been great for Eric this year so far, and he could only hope the new semester would be better. His fight with Kas was...

Vera sighed and set down her bag at one of the only empty tables in the cafe. The large coffee she ordered burning her tongue as she took a big sip too soon. She cursed under her breath but could feel the caffeine starting to make her head buzz. She was exhausted, after the Australian tour with...

Lars hovered near the Hospital wing doors for a long time, debating whether to go in or not. He knew he had no right to visit Elliot after everything that happened, and Blake... well, he probably wouldn't appreciate Lars' visit either. But the boy felt compelled to do something, so here he was...

Rosemarie had been shocked to see Hester at the sorting ceremony. Learning that you are magical had been a big shock for Rosemarie. Seeing Hester at the sorting might have been a bigger one at first. Hester and Rosemarie attended the same primary school in Dunedin. Rosemarie secretly hoped that...

Abian was happy to be with Emily again, the two were catching up on one of the couches in the student lounge. Abian had an arm around his girlfriend, holding her close. He'd just told her about his break, and was listening as Emily told him about her own. He smiled as he listened to her...

Ajaccio was back at school, he had had a great but exceedingly tiring trip but the brief period in Hawaii at the end had made up for it. There was going to be so much fun to be had in the second semester. His dad had been surprisingly supportive at Ajax’s new interest in photography, keeping up...
