totally open

Caleb wasn't talking to Louis and he was trying to keep it that way. He had stuck to Slytherin only spaces for the first few days back at the castle. But in his attempt to keep his distance he realized he hadn't spoken to Rene either. He was starting to realize that his social circle was a bit...

With everything going on, the least that Niklaus had expected was a letter from home... His dad... He had died. Niklaus felt as he had failed him, he didn't go in his footsteps, he didn't bring him any pride, he never made him proud. He was everything that his dad had wanted, but at least he was...

Leah had wanted to cut her hair for years now. But every time she brought it up or asked her mother about it she was always talked out of it or convinced that it wasn't a good idea. She did like her hair sometimes. It was long and wavy and a golden blonde that always got lighter in the summer...

Caleb hadn't felt this restless in a long time. It felt like he had to constantly be in motion or he would collapse in on himself or spontaneously combust, he wasn't sure which. Ever since Valentine's Day he hadn't be able to stop thinking about what happened between him and Louis. A lot of ways...

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...

Delilah found herself staring at the rose petals falling from the sky. It was oddly hypnotic and she was also trying to commit it all to memory. It was her last school dance after all. She had briefly considered not attending at all but had obviously changed her mind. It had felt like a lot of...

Leah couldn't believe she had done it. It had been harder than she thought to convince her parents to let her start school in New Zealand. Now that her parent's divorce was final and she was constantly traveling back and forth it had taken twice as long to plead her case. But in some ways it did...

Caleb didn't want to be alone. He had been told Delilah had gotten hurt and raced to the hospital wing to check on her. Maybe if he had waited to hear more he would have known it happened during her Apparition lesson and that she was fine. But he hadn't waited and the adrenaline that flooded his...

Ethan had heard a lot about the Forbidden Forest but despite the warnings and the name itself, he couldn't stay away. He had heard about the Basilisk, which he had had to look up, but it still didn't deter him from exploring it when he could. Usually the best time was in the afternoons when the...

Yuelia was here now, and she wasn't sure what came next. She hadn't gone to the Yule Ball, she hadn't lingered over long at Halloween, but she knew she had to put in an effort to go to school events and try to put herself out there more. Not that she wasn't talking to people enough, in her own...

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...

Margo knew that Valentine's day was just a day like any other but she still found herself feeling a bit wistful. It was a day all about love and yet she was all alone, at least for now. Her friends were probably around here somewhere. But for now she sat on the edge of the fountain and watched...

Indi wasn't sure why she had decided to come to the Yule Ball. It wasn't like she had or even wanted a date but there was something about sitting in the dorm all night that was too depressing for even her to bear. Not after a semester of keep her head buried in her books and not when the rest of...

Nikko was looking forward to the Valentine's dance and still couldn't believe he had a date. Things seemed to be going so well with Estella and he couldn't wait to find her. They had forgotten to plan where to meet up before hand and he had been running a bit late when it came to getting ready...

[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...

Yvonne couldn't help but get swept up in the student's excitement every time the Yule ball rolled around. It was sweet to see them so excited and whispering about who was going with who and who would be wearing what. She wondered if she'd ever get tried of sympathizing with their big emotions...

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...

Margo was curious to see what the Halloween feast would be all about at Hogwarts. She had never really celebrated before and she was excited. Her costume wasn't anything too exciting just an old dress of her grandma's that made her feel like a princess. But she had arrived earlier than the rest...

Felix had been pretty excited when he came up with the idea for his costume. After not really have a costume last year he was excited to dress up and hoped people would recognize who he was. He got to the feast as everything was well underway and he tried to see if he could find Sawyer or Leo...

Poppy always loved Halloween and was feeling a bit wistful and bittersweet about it being her last Halloween feast. She was quite proud of her costume this year even if it was basically a bedsheet tied around her to look like a dress but she had tried to get the hair just right. She walked...
