[Zsofia Zsinnek de Ezsedyi]

Zsofia was for once studying for her OWLs. Never knowing how she got through each year without doing much studying before, she was quite surprised as to how easy these tests seemed to be.
Of course, she needed an incentive to start studying, and that was her crazy mother's threat of pulling her out and homeschool her to her dismay. The threat came, by howler too, and declared that she brought shame and dishonour for the entire House for attacking another student by broad daylight.
She hadn't cried in a very long time but that howler did make her do it, in her own bed that night.
Now she was sitting perched on the sill and studied. Frankly, she thought nastily, this was just one option, the other one was to get rid of her mum, permanently...

 

[Moriah Knight]

Moriah made her way through the school, dressed casual with her most recent boots, and ran her fingers along the bumps in the wall. She would never admit it but she was worried. She knew Gary was their brother and he loved the family but she still didn't trust him with Avery.

Moriah was protective over her younger sisters and Gary, well, Gary was irresponsible and wasn't capable of being a good brother let alone a parent. But there was nothing she could do now except be relieved that Lillith was at school and didn't have to put up with him.

As Moriah walked she noticed another girl in a window sill. The girl seemed to be studying. This was not something Moriah did. Moriah waited until the last hour or so and crammed it all. She remembered it better that way. Moriah couldn't see why the girl was studying now, it was the beginning of the year, they hadn't learnt anything yet. Moriah leant against the wall with a smirk on her face. Either this girl was a huge nerd or her parents were putting on the pressure. "Having fun?"
