totally open

Open to all! Morrie sat on the lawn furiously ripping up fistfulls of the grass while watching the Hufflepuff picnic going on in the distance. She thought they were all so lame with their board games and flower crowns. Even if Morrie had been a Hufflepuff she wouldn't have attended such a...

Teddy had never taken Halloween costumes particularly seriously, last year he had gone as a frog for example. But this year being his last, he decided to go all out and with his dads help had created a costume he was really proud of. The spider on his head moved and scurried around his body as...

Naveen swore under his breath as he gave up looking through every inch of the Hufflepuff common room and made his way out into the corridor. He has already torn his room apart, he'd have to apologize to Thomas later, but he couldn't find his cat anywhere. There was a volatile mixture of shame...

To say Sybil had fallen short last year would be an understatement. She wasn't sure if there was anything she hadn't failed. That was why she was more determined than ever to make up for lost time. Part of her wondered if she had been cursed last year to not make a goal, but she had tried and...

January knew she shouldn't be out this late and she'd likely get a good scolding if a prefect or a professor caught her. But the night was prefect and clear, and she just couldn't resist. Her dad had given her one of his old telescopes over the break and she had been trusted to bring it to...

Juneau had arrived for the match against Hogwarts and had been told there were refreshments in the Great Hall. She hadn't been here before and wasn't sure on the way. She followed a long corridor to the end, only to realise she’d gone the wrong way. With a quiet sigh, she turned back and walked...

Morrie wasn’t usually keen on these ridiculous dances but didn't feel in the mood for the alternative option of rotting away in the common room today. At least here, there was potential for something not boring to happen, even if expecting fun seemed like a stretch. The exception being if she...

Teddy was very much enjoying his stress free week without any exams to do before the semester finished. This year he was free of actual exams until his OWLs at the end of the year. Of course, this meant he’d have double the workload at the end of the year, but that was a future Teddy problem...

Tw: Thread contains bullying, vomiting slugs jinx, and some attempted violence towards animals. Morrie stormed into the owlery slightly out of breath from all the stairs. She was holding a half crumpled letter, crumpled from the tight grip she had on it. She hadn’t heard from her mum since...

Naveen liked school most of the time. But homesickness was not foreign to him. His sister and his cats helped, but there were still times he wanted to be home more than anything else in the whole world. Usually he would curl up in bed until the feeling passed, but that didn't always work. When...

Leah had really lucked out with her Halloween costume this year. When she had gone to visit her grandparents over the break she had found her grandmother's old Beauxbaton's uniform in the back of a closet. She had decided to 'borrow' it without asking but it wasn't like her grandmother would...

The Slytherin Quidditch tryouts were in full swing, but Morrie had no intention of participating. Instead, she sat on a bench, furiously tearing up her old Quidditch notes. Her mood was too sour to bother with the hassle again. Last year, she had been the sole reason Slytherin didn’t finish at...

Leah had been completely shocked when she got her prefect badge in the mail. It had been one of the only things to get her parents off her back all break. She stood up a bit straighter as she walked through the halls eager to help anyone who looked lost or step in if there was some kind of...

It was the dead of winter now and Santiago was taking advantage of how early it got dark. It was early enough his uncle wouldn't be looking for him but dark enough he could slip around corners without being spotted right away. It had been a challenge to find the right paint but he finally got...

Sybil didn't really care for the park and it's playground full of screaming kids. She was also a kid but she was an older kid. She was about to head off to Hogwarts next year after. And despite her disinterest in the park her nanny always took her there in the hopes she would play some of the...

Oskar had been completely caught off guard by the day's festivities. He had never experienced anything quite like it and wasn't sure what to make of it. The roses, the messages, the friendship, all of it felt so foreign. He had been at this school for over a semester now but still felt very...

Elise loved to hang out around the towers. It wasn't a view she got at home and she missed it when she was away. To her there was nothing better than the dizzy feeling she got when she looked out the window towards the ground far far below her. It also helped that it was quite too. Here she...

Ethan yawned. Ever since Harlow had arrived she had been keeping the entire house hold on their toes with her crying and unpredictable hours. He hadn't been asked to take care of her but he still found himself offering his services in the morning when Ernie and Olivia looked worse for wear. He...

Morrie was puzzled by the existence of the Restricted Section of the library, and her annoyance grew when she realised she couldn't access it. Why not? Morrie would find the knowledge she sought within the Restricted Section, sooner or later, restricted or not. Morrie's curiosity was especially...

Teddy set off on a run along a path that ran alongside the Hogwarts lake, offering spectacular views along the way. He wasn't a stranger to running, but this was different. He was intentionally running for fitness, a decision spurred by a drive to improve his endurance and speed for the...
