It was earlier than Delilah usually ventured out on the weekends but she was desperate to get some practice in before the grounds were crawling with classmates. She set down her violin case on the grass that was still damp with the morning dew and kept her music still tightly tucked under her...

Yvonne considered it some what of a minor miracle that she had made it to the great hall for breakfast and hadn't had to resort to stealing some of Elvera's pastries and tea to make it through her morning. But she had managed to keep up with her grading so far and since this was her third time...

Margo was glad it was finally summer and she could sit outside and read her book while Gram did whatever it was she needed to do in town. She didn't mind coming along when there were errands to run but as she had gotten older she liked small taste of independence that came with doing her own...

Kaia used her chance to dress up again, she had decided to stop on a Barbie looks just because she had light blonde hair and blue eyes. In her opinion, she was cute enough to be a barbie herself. She was a bit disappointed to be here alone but she didn't let it show, maybe her mom will catch up...

Delilah couldn't believe how quickly the break had gone. It almost felt like she blinked and it was over. Their cousin had come to visit briefly but she had the feeling New Zealand was the last place Gemma wanted to be, but she had brought Delilah some of her favorite romance novel which was a...

Zane had just set up another trap. He was grinning to himself as he waited for someone to activate it. It was a pretty bold move considering there were many people wandering around after all he had gone to a nearby café for this particular trap. He ordered a drink and acted natural as if nothing...

Indi had been trying to find the perfect place to study for a while now. The library was the obvious location to go and while she did like it there it was getting crowded this time of year as everyone started to cram for exams. She didn’t find it very fair that people who had been going there to...

Caleb felt fairly confident he had gotten all he could out of the castle. He had spent almost all of his free time trying to find overlooked places that could be useful to him eventually. But he and come to the concussion that if there were secrets he hadn't uncovered yet he wasn't sure he...

Poppy had always loved the school's garden. It was one of the most peaceful places on the whole school grounds and this year when she needed a place to just be it had been there for her. It was full of flowers and other pretty things and provided her a place to study or simply think. Today she...

Poppy stood awkwardly at the edge of the great hall, unsure of what she should do and where she should go. She had always felt slightly awkward in these kinds of situations, surrounded by people, but never this self conscious before. Absentmindedly she reached up and fiddled with one of the...

Delilah was grateful for the abandoned classroom. For all its dust and emptiness it really was the perfect place to come if you wanted any kind of privacy. And she was certain she wanted no one to witness her failure like this. She had been coming her to practice since last semester yet she...

It had been awhile since Nikko had found himself in the kitchens. Which was good, because it meant he hadn't been stressed enough to hide out down there. He only liked to bake or cook when something was bothering him and with the next quidditch game fast approaching, his nerves were growing by...

Ana Sofia was excited for the valentine's dance. Sure, she hadn't made any plans and didn't really think she already liked anyone in that way but it was a dance nonetheless and in her mind dances could only mean one thing: fun! She had been way too excited to wait for any of her friends, to see...

Poppy stood in the middle of the entrance hall during the lunch rush, and tried to get anyone to pay attention to her. "Please, if you wouldn't mind signing my petition to keep Golden Snidgets a protected species." she called out as an older student brushed past her with out a single word. She...

Indi was curious to see what Halloween at a school for wizards would be like. She doubted it would be as basic as other Halloween parties she had been to before with cheap costumes that fell apart the moment you took them off. She hadn't put much effort in to her costume this year, wanting to...

Poppy loved Halloween. She loved the decorations, the costumes, and the snacks especially. This year she was pretty excited about her costume and she had put a lot of work into it. She had carved the pumpkin and enchanted it so the eyes glowed as if there was a light on the inside. It had taken...

Bobbi was not having much success in the Owlery. She'd gone there with a letter and a pocket full of grapes as treats to entice an owl down. Apparently grapes were a firm favourite for carnivorous owls, which made sense to Bobbi, who did not know what to the word carnivorous meant. But since...

Indi stood at the edge of the forest and crossed her arms over her chest as she weighed the pros and cons of what she was about to do. She had spent the first few weeks at school exploring and looking for any hidden spaces or secret tunnels or whatever she could find with in the castle. Her...

Giselle hadn't been in Hogwarts that long, but she was always interested in the ghosts that flew by. She hadn't really spoken to one, nor did she really study the ones here, as she had been doing her own thing somewhere in the castle. It was just before dinner time, and Giselle had decided to...

It had been a couple of days since Samantha had a falling out with Sydney, and she felt... sad. Yeah, let's just say that she was sad... Okay, she was also a little moody. Sam hadn't had the experience of losing a friend over a stupid fight, but she guesses that it was just life and that life...
