Horrendous Schoolwork. (open!)

The air in the castle was pressured and very heavy, and had been so for the last few weeks. The students were anxious about the upcoming ball, and wanted to be done with the assignments that the professors so loved to give them. Joy was definitely one of these people, even though she did not consider herself too worried about the ball. It would just be a fun event to dress up for. Her mother had earlier sent her a letter admonishing her for not buying her dress yet, and was threatening to...

Drusilla never really liked being alone but for the last year she had kept to herself. She had been forced to live on her own when she had left school because her father wanted nothing to do with her. After having found out that she was a half-blood Marcus Delfonge had disowned his daughter. Not that it bothered Drusilla at all. She wanted nothing to do with him.

Lydia was never a naturally quick study. She didn't have it in her to be a Ravenclaw. She couldn't look at a textbook and immediately divine its most subtle implications. She couldn't watch a professor demonstrate a charm and duplicate it her first try. She didn't find reading in silence to be the most amazing activity (though she was forced to get used to it in the last few years.) She was, however, a very patient person, and she was willing to sit down and work through...

An Evening of Peace-for once? (open)

If there was one indoor place Brendan actually felt comfortable in it was the Library. There all his problems just seemed to melt away as he drifted into his own little world of books, books of all kinds. Potions books, Charms books, Herbology books, and Defense Against the Dark Arts books (though he much rather read Dark Arts books). Sometimes it seemed other than his sister Brianna, books were Brendan's only friends. And yes, yes Brendan was the reason for that--just don't tell...

With a Little Help From My Friends (Amaris)

There was one thing that Mason had noticed over the last few weeks after he had promised Jacqueline that he'd leave her be. Forever was a very long time alone. For one thing, it was extremely difficult to stop thinking about her. He'd occasionally be reminded by completely irrelevant details in his surroundings or conversations when talking with friends. Or worse, he'd be sitting in class, taking notes and nibbling on the end of his quill when a memory of Jacqueline would...

Alone on a Friday Night (Open)

Kisa sat quietly in a corner of the great library. She could sort of see her cousin Katya finishing up her homework, if she leaned alittle to the left and glanced around the bookshelf. Kisa wasn't trying to be a little spy, but she was too afraid to go speak to Katya openly. She hadn't seen Katya or her other cousins since she was 7 and was scared that they had forgotten all about her. She couldn't expect them to remember her, to pine over the memories of that year together, to...
