Damion had just come back after the short break. Things could have been going much better for him. Everything had made sense. He was the prefect of his house. A house that had become like a second home to him. A place that felt more and more that way. Every friendship that he had was something he treasured. Whether it was his house friends or friends from different houses of his boyfriend. Well he was at times very mesmerized by his boyfriend. Shaking his head gently, he walked to the Great Hall. He had it all ready for the welcome back party.
This would be something that Damion was planning on doing since he came back from his vacations. He loved spending time with his family and Dylan's. But school was something completely different for him. Looking at the banner behind him, he smiled as he made sure that everything was looking perfect the way he wanted it to be.
There were some buffet tables with savory food as well as desserts on it and another table which had a variety of drinks including some milk shakes, fruit punches, butterbeers and other things. Damion was so proud of doing this. He couldn't believe that this was actually happening. Rubbing his shiny new badge that said prefect which was proudly placed on one side of his robe, Damion waited for the students to arrive.

Welcome Back Everyone!!
I walked into the party that this fifth year prefect had set up to welcome newcomers and welcome back everyone else. It was amazing, tables full with food and an assortment of drinks filled the great hall. The room had already looked great before, which I knew from the sorting, but it looked even better now! There were already some students there, I got instantly nervous when I saw them, no one there was someone I already knew. I was really hoping that no one saw I was worried, I didn’t want them to make fun of me. There were plenty of older students there, they could easily be mean, since I was younger than them, and they had been around Hogwarts for longer than me. Looking around again I thought I guess I could try and make some friends today!. I had already made one friend, Madi, on the Hogwarts Express just a few days ago, maybe she would show up here today. I hurriedly walked over to one of the tables and took a delicious looking dessert off of it. It was something I was quite excited about, eating some of the nice looking food here. I ate it really quickly while looking around some more, it was great. My hand stretched out to the table again to grab something else. I think I may have seen the boy who set the party up, he looked pretty happy, and about 3-4 years older than me. It looked like he was touching something on his robe, I squinted my eyes to try and see what it was. Oh! It looks like a prefect badge. He must have just become one! I thought. I took a little walk around the Great Hall, there was a welcoming banner hung up, the whole set up did feel very welcoming actually, it was really cool of this guy to set it up! I was glad as I saw more students arrive, I peaked into the crowd to see if I knew anyone. No luck. I was also quite happy to be at a party today, as my eleventh birthday was yesterday, it felt nice. Maybe I can send Madi a message somehow asking her if she’s coming to the party, I think I can send it by owl? I thought to myself. The wuzardubg world was still pretty confusing, but I was pretty sure that people, or wizards I guess, communicate long distance by sending letters with owls, I don’t think that they use phones here. It would be some much easier that way, I know how to use a phone, i had one for a year, and Madi must have had one, she has muggle parents. After a few more minutes of looking around, eating, more looking around, and even more eating, I walked away after drinking some great fruit punch to go write her a letter. As I arrived at this place at the school called “The Owlery” I got some paper and began to write.
Dear Madi,
I was just at a welcome party in the Grast Hall a few minutes ago, right before I came here. It’s super cool there, I was wondering if you were going to come, it would be great if you did! There’s lots of food, drinks, and people, probably going to be many more by the time I go back there. I think you would love it, it was set up by a fifth year I think, who just became a prefect, maybe you know him, since you’ve already been here year. I just thought that it might be fun if you came, we could hang out and party together! Anyways, I’m going to go head back now, hope this letter reaches you, bye!

Welcome Back Everyone!!
Attire: Usual weekend kit: Slytherin pride, kilt, no shoes, wolf fang necklace, feathers in his braid.Reducio
Sounds of muffled shouting could be heard from the corridor outside the great hall, interrupted occasionally by a high pitched squeak. The thumping sounds and laughter grew until at last, like the sea crashing with a roar onto a stony shore, the doors opened with a resounding crash and two laughing boys, one barefooted and one wearing battered Doc Martens, thundered into the great hall! What were they up to before entering this place? One could only guess, but anyone who knew Colin McCoire could probably guess aright that trouble was just around the corner! And with him, his twin, Liam. Would that not spell trouble squared?
"Oo, there's already some people here! And food!" cried Liam, his Scottish accent as lovely and full as Colin's own. A few early students had indeed arrived already. One Colin noted was a Ravenclaw first year. She had that petrified look in her eyes that only first years at Hogwarts could ever get right.
Colin smirked. "Isn't that one of yer housemates lad? Firstie by the look! I bet if I pointed my wand at her, she'd collapse in fright!"
"Cailean McCoire, you'll do no such thing!" Liam jabbed his brother hard in the ribs. "First, yes, she is a Ravenclaw! And if you point yer wand at her, I'd have to defend her as a matter of honour! AND!" Liam emphasised the final word while turning his brother over towards the laden snack tables. "You'll kindly notice that there is a Prefect in the hall. An older prefect at that. He would turn you in a ferret or something! Not to mention give you a week in detention! And I, dear brother, would follow along laughing all the way!"
Colin grumbled, but had to concede the point. Indeed, Damion White, Ravenclaw prefect and fifth year, was taking care of some finishing touches and yes, he probably knew twice or thrice as much magic as Colin. Colin called this Ravenclaw logic. Clair had it too. And had used it on him numerous times. Colin smirked again. It would do no good to draw his wand on a firstie just to scare some shite out of her here in the great hall, when the same could easily be done in an empty classroom or a busy corridor where he could sneak away unnoticed by any pesky prefects!
Having given Prefect Damion a courteous bow, the twins loaded up a plate with delicious treats --- only notable, perhaps, by the curious selection of foods both boys chose. Cheeses, savory meat pies, sausages, hard boiled eggs and water. They found a place at the bench a little away from the others and began chatting, waiting for the event thing to properly begin. Colin hopped up onto the bench, strode along it for a couple steps, then crouched down on it. Liam rolled his eyes, but he did step up with a rather more gentlewolfly manner before settling his kilt and crouching down next to his brother.
With a hunk of cheese in his left hand, Colin began rooting around in his satchel. He clamped the cheese between his teeth and dug into the satchel with both hands. Various things fell out and rolled across the table with a clatter! Quills and pencils, a variety of books, a stick that he was trying to make into a wand (no success yet, alas!), and a variety of other odds and ends. He gave a quick look over towards Liam. In front of Liam was a very tidy stack of parchment, two quills, a clean bottle of ink and a tall and skinny smirking boy watching his brother struggle with a smile.
"Pfft! Shove off Liam! Mister Perfect Parchment!" Colin grumbled and at last dug out a wad of crumpled parchment.
"Shant! Just because ye haven't learnt to organise yer satchel!" Liam snatched at a small book. "Oh ho! I recognise this! It's the planner we made in first year!" He flipped through Colin's planner. "Heheheh! I knew it! Full of sketches and notes of anything except school work!"
"You give that back Liam! Just because I learn differently ---!" he retorted as he reached over and grabbed the planner. He blushed slightly, yeah that planner hadn't exactly gone quite to plan! He blushed harder, for Colin realised that in the scuffle, Liam had snagged another slender book from his satchel! An actual sketch book!
"Oh, bullocks on yer learning differently lad, and no sir, Cailean McCoire! I am going sit right here with my dearly beloved brother," and here he raised his voice so that everyone nearby could hear as well; "And also with his dearly beloved GIRLFRIEND!"
"Will you shut it Liam McCoire!?" Colin turned as bright red as any tomato and Liam's laughter rang out happily. "She might hear you!" Colin looked around, just to see if in fact Clair had arrived yet. He was very much hoping she would come to the errand as well, even if it meant having to put up with Liam's antics.
"Of course she'll hear, lad! That's the point of howling! After all, Cail, wasn't it you who was howling for Clair not just last year, from what I heard, but also the other night and in this very hall! And anyway lad, I want to meet my future sister-in-law!"
Colin nudged Liam, momentarily flustered. "Wh--- I--- Y---Yes, that was me! But! CLAIR!"
Clair.
The very name was more powerful than any spell or incantation or potion ever invented by wizardkind. Colin let out a deep breath as he settled into more of a sitting posture, his head resting on his left hand, his pond scum green eyes staring off into nothing.
And everything.
Liam leafed through Colin's sketchbook. He rolled his eyes every now and then.
Yes, Colin had howled for Clair! Of course he had! And why not? She was his ---, well, she was everything! As far as Colin was concerned, and in his most infinite wisdom, Clair Fernandez was the question, she was the answer, she was the problem, and she was the solution.
No --- wait, that doesn't sound right?
Either way, Colin knew in the deepest part of his heart that this girl would be his everything!
A slow smile spread across Colin's face.

Welcome Back Everyone!!
Clair was bouncing off the walls, the idea of a errand so close to the return of school was exciting. It was also exciting that the errand was put on by a new prefect in her house. It was brave she thought, for him to throw a event so soon after becoming a prefect. Clair already had written her letter, whom had she written it to? well, she had written it to her boyfriend the one and only Colin McCoire. Due to prefect duties and such she had not seen him in what felt like a million years, so it seemed like the perfect way to catch up with him. Her letter was something like this:
Dear Colin,
Its been what feels like years since we last talked. I have not really been very present, I am sorry for that. My summer started out grand, Summer camp was fun and I was able to relax and enjoy the grounds in a way which you don't really get during the school year. I did miss you, but of course you were busy with your own wild wolfy adventures. When I returned home August 1st, things were pretty normal. Luckily I was free to come home to Carlisle instead of London (Thank the lord) My summer was looking to be very fun and great but of course there had to be a curve ball. I noticed that Belle and Him were doing something in Mam's old bedroom, so I went to look despite being told not to. I ended up finding a box full of letters that were half written. only one was fully written, and it was addressed to a man in Newfoundland Canada. Basically telling him that he is my father not my father that I knew. Its confusing I know. I've been trying to figure it out for a month now, I would have told you before but y'know it seemed like a weird thing to owl you about. I will admit that I was a wreck for the rest of summer break and now I have been keeping myself busy to ignore it. Anyways, that sums up my summer break pretty well, how was yours?
With love,
Clair.
When she entered she looked for Damion first. She wanted to say hi. She was however distracted when she saw a certain someone. wait. She saw two someones. Clair's mouth fell open for a split second, The boy she had seen the day before in her common room who had looked like Colin was there again. But this time he was standing beside her boyfriend. If she had not known that Colin's twin had died last year she would have sworn that he was standing right there. Clair made a beeline towards them and snuck up behind Colin and gave him a big hug.
"Hey You!" she said, hoping to have startled him.
Clair removed herself off of poor Colin and then sat beside him on the bench so that he would not be squashed under her. Her attention drawn to the other boy who was far to similar to her boyfriend. "I'm Clair Fernandez, Prefect of Ravenclaw and this crazy boy's girlfriend." she said, "You must be one of Colin's friends, A ravenclaw no doubt." She nodded towards his neatly stacked parchment. Not to mention he was in her common room the day before. "I swear you look just like Colin's Twin Liam." she muttered under her breath. She also noticed Colin looked happier than he had in a long time, far happier than he had since his brother had lost his life to evil. She just hoped that if someone was playing a prank on the poor Slytherin they did not end up hurting him.

Welcome Back Everyone!!
Just like Lazarus, @Simon Kincaid
3 September, 2023
Out of sorts was how she was feeling. The school year had started once again and AngelFyre felt numb to all of it. Simon, not surprisingly, was the only thing that seemed to spark any interest in her. Everything else had pretty much been snuffed out.
She knew enough to know it was all due to grief, but knowing that did not make it any easier to slog through. The knowing just made it easier to have faith that there would be an end point to it and her world would once again be vibrant and lovely and all that it ever had been.
Still....
She and Simon were going to meet in the Entrance Hall and take a walk as he explained, in greater details, her Prefect duties to her. She had been appointed a Hufflepuff Prefect just as school ended last year, but there really had been no time or training and it was decided that it would all happen at the start of this school year. Technically she was a Prefect throughout the summer, but since she was with Simon all of the time, she never had to concern herself with it because he stepped up and set all to right if or when anyone needed to be set straight. But now it was time for her to get to work. Two months ago she was champing at the bit to dive into her new role and responsibilities, but now it all just sort of weighed heavily on her.
Everything did.
As she waited for Simon, she heard some commotion coming from the Great Hall. She wandered over and looked in and saw a large sign surrounded by balloons, welcoming everyone back. She sighed and started to step away, not really in the mood to be around a lot of people, and then she froze in place. She blinked once... twice. She closed her eyes and counted to three and then she opened them again. It just could not be, but... was it? Was her mind playing sore tricks on her?
Standing near the entrance, she stared across the room and watched Colin, who looked happier than she had seen him look all of last year. His best girl was beside him for one, but the added glow came from his other side. AngelFyre felt a lump in her throat and she darted off like a cheetah towards them. She rounded the end of the long table silently and gracefully, her school robe billowing behind her and stopped just behind him as she heard Clair introducing herself as Colin's girlfriend to the boy.
"Li-... Liam? Is it you? Is it really you?" she asked in wonder. When the boy turned, she gasped. It was him! She shot a very brief glance over to Colin, moisture sparkling in her eyes, but Woofy was grinning his fang-y grin from ear to ear and nodding enthusiastically."Ohhhh, Liam," she said in barely above a whisper and hugged the lad tightly right where he sat.
They did not know each other well, but they had spent an eventful time together at Moira's wedding last summer, so she did not feel like a welcome-back-to-the-land-of-the-living-hug was completely unwarranted from her. What probably confused the boy, and Colin most especially, was why it lingered maybe a little longer than was comfortably normal and brought on a small trickle of tears. She of course knew she should be pulling away... should have already pulled away... and was embarrassing herself but worse, was probably embarrassing Liam, but instead she felt his hands wrap around her as she silently held onto him... shaking like a leaf.
She finally released the poor boy and apologized profusely, deftly wiping her cheeks. She then quickly gave Woofy a tight hug and smiled widely at Clair. "Mind if I sit a moment with you three? I am waiting for Simon," and she gave them her first real smile of the evening, "but I am happy to beg off if I am interrupting something."

Welcome Back Everyone!!
Open to interactions.
Simon knew that at this Welcome Back Party they were supposed to write a note about their Summer to a friend, but he wasn't quite sure how to exactly make that happen. He had visited with a few of the international students he had made aquaintance with over Summer Camp, he had reconnected with his muggle friends back in London for the second half of Summer, and he would soon be face-to-face with all his wonderful friends he thought of as family within Hogwarts now that Fourth Year had officially begun! So who did he write to?
Well, he thought he'd write to his Aunt Maggie. She was his aunt (naturally, from the name) but she was also a parental figure, an inspiration, a friend. Yes he'd write to her to let him know he made it to school without any issue and to recap his Summer.
He would get the letter finished in his dormitory so he could take it to the party to be set aside to be delivered later. He wrote it just after providing a little snack to his pet rat Rascal and could hear him chewing slowly as he guided his quill along.
Dear Aunt Maggie,
I made it back to school and settled in! The trainride went smoothly and it'll be no surprise to you that I sat with AngelFyre. I can see that her spirits are down right now after the loss of precious Grandma Ruth and I really hope that her faith remains strong and that I can help her through this difficult time. Loss isn't easy and it can be difficult to comprehend losing those we love most. I'll just be there steadfast and often for her, to say everything she needs to say or just be there when she wants to say nothing at all.
I'm looking forward to Fourth Year. This is the first year where I feel like an "upperclassmen" of sorts. Previous to this, all the younger years have sat at one side of the Hufflepuff Table at the Sorting Ceremony and Welcoming Feast but Fourth Years and above sit on the other side. I believe this will really be the year I need to step up and help the younger students at Hogwarts get acclimated and comfortable here, as well as strengthen up on my studies. I'm going to continue with the Healing Internship again this year as well. If that's something I want to persuit later on, I'll have to keep up with my studies so I can pass some extensive final exams come graduation in a few years.
Thank you for this Summer! You made it quite eventful for so many reasons. I went to Summer Camp after having a year off from it. Then, upon the second half of Summer, you allowed me to visit my father twice and bestowed upon me the trust to do so by myself. I love having you around, but I don't want you to have to adjust work schedules for me, plus sometimes there's things that one has to do by themselves - like discovering who they are - or well, partially are. I love that you value me enough to let me explore this. Also, I thank Mark for allowing myself and AngelFyre to be part of your proposal over the Summer. Seeing you so happy (and I don't just mean that night but with Mark in general) is the greatest! You're the absolute best and deserve nothing less.
I'll keep you updated on the happenings of this Fourth Year Hufflepuff Prefect throughout the school year and continue to send letters as I always have around every other day. I'll miss you, lots! Rascal already seems to miss you and miss London. He sends his love as well.
Love,
Simply Simon
He finished off the envelope and folded the letter inside before giving a gentle pat on Rascal's head and heading off to the Great Hall where the Welcome Back Party would be and hoped he wasn't late as AngelFyre was meeting him there. Whenever he was late, she'd often tease him that he was spending too much time on his hair.
As grew closer to the party, he could see her in the distance hugging someone. Simon was secure enough in their relationship not to think anything, but was still a little curious as to who she was hugging so tightly and why. It was good to see her enthusiasm after knowing she was experiencing such heartache.
Be kind to one another. (*iNPC is Miles Thatcher)

Bailey was beyond excited to be back at school. She had spend her summer break in the back country of Poland, with her family as she usually did, but now she was more than ready to be back with her darling friends at school. She was most excited to see Kim, and her heart fluttered at the thought of getting to see him again. She then remembered the funk he had been in since the ball, and her heart sank some. Bailey adored Kim, but she wasn't sure how she could help him, especially since she wasn't sure he'd talk to her.. or anyone about what was bothering him.
Heedless of this, bailey continued her letter. Naturally it was to Kim, as she loved to keep up with their correspondence, which is how their friendship started.
dearest Kim,
how was your summer?
I enjoyed the sunshine of the wilds of Poland. My Busia and Dziadzia (grandmother and grandfather, in polish) live in the back country a bit, not in a city, so i got to roam their acres and acres of farm land and orchards, and oh Kim, I just love it there!!!
I ate so much good food, I could fill a whole book about everything that i was fed!! and all of their neighbors kids are so nice too! It did make me miss you, if only you could come for the summer!! Even just for one day, that would be a dream come true!!! All of my family would love to meet you, and they know all about you. I may have mentioned you.... once or twicee.... a week. They enjoy hearing about you though, and want to know how you're doing!!! My busia was going to make some kolachky - a polish pastry filled with jam or marmalade, its so good!! and ship them to my mum (they don't know about the whole magical thing, they think i just go to a special boarding school which isn't wrong - and then my mum will send them with the return letter to whatever owl i send them!! We should have a little picnic one of these days to try them!!! And then we'll have time to catch up as well!!
Ok, i really do need to go find you now - just fyi you're my partner for the welcome back to Hogwarts party Damion is hosting. of course you won't read this till later.... but oh well!!!
much love,
Bailey Rose Glade
Signing the letter, bailey let it dry for approximately two minutes as she changed quickly into something besides her hoodie and comfy pants, aka into a slightly more stylish outfit - one that Kim would hopefully approve of. It consisted of a loose white blouse, blue - Ravenclaw blue, of course - women's slacks, blue sparkly converses (sure they had a little platform... she had to do something so that she wasn't really that much shorter than Kim) and a loose tan cream cardigan. For jewelry she stuck to her usual gold and blue ring, and a pair of gold glasses that she stuck in her blond hair. Putting her wand into her bag, along with the letter, the book she was currently reading (a muggle book by the name of MockingJay - book three in the Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins) and her beloved water bottle and a notebook with her favorite pen - a muggle invention that was basically an automatic quill in a sleeker vessel.
Bailey slipped the bag over her shoulder and with one last
Skipping through the corridors, bailey started her quest to find Kim.
Unsurprising, after she pushed open the great hall's giant doors to outside, and she made her way onto the grounds that she spotted a familiar black haired head that seemed intent on his sketching or notebook. Bailey smiled to herself, and continued skipping down the gentle slope to where her best friend was. Once in ear shot she sang out a cheerful greeting. "Kimmmm!!!!!! hellooo!!!!!!!!!!!"
her excitement was so tangible that you could almost feeling it. Upon coming up to Kim's back she dropped to the ground and hugged him from behind, burying her head in his back.
Kim was quiet through this, and bailey's concern grew, but she tried to brush it away.
Once their reunion was over, Bailey pulled Kim to his feet, and with a miscevious smile she started pulling him up the hill which saying "Kim, i know you're not the biggest party person.... but there is this welcome party, and they said to bring a partner, and it's Damion's party, and i thought you'd be willing to go as my partner!!! If not.... well sorry, you can hide behind me!!"
Looking back at Kim, she said "hey - with my shoes we're finally about the same height again!!!"
Why this was important to bailey - in all truth it wasn't. She was just trying to do something, anything, to get Kim to smile. His smiles had become more rare than a full lunar eclipse, and Bailey would do almost anything to make him smile.
Entering where the party was, Bailey spotted a decent ammount of faces she knew - @Simon Kincaid, @AngelFyre McCubbin, @Colin McCoire, and @Clair Fernandez. @Damion White was there as well, as this was his event, as was a brand new first year that bailey didn't know too well (yet), but she thought was named @Delainie Silverwing. Bailey thought that Dela was a Ravenclaw, which made her realize how Ravenclaw dominated this party was. That and hufflepuff, made up the majority of the party. Colin was the Slytherin there, and Kim was the only Griffindor. where is the rest of Griffindor and Slytherin? bailey wondered. She turned to Kim and asked "who do you want to say hello to first?"
Bailey still had the letter to give to Kim, but she had momentarily forgotten about it. She'd remember before they left the party though, and give it to him upon her leaving his side (which she didn't plan to do until the end of the party).

Welcome Back Everyone!!
"YEEEEEEEP!!!" Colin squeaked as hands reached around him and arms held him in such a tight hug!
"MRRRRRRROWWWW." A black cat had jumped up on the table, seating himself regally on Colin's satchel. Greebo. He was clearly not impressed by Colin's sense of situational awareness. Liam tickled his chin affectionately as they watched the show play out.
It only took a moment for him to realise what was was happening. In a brief moment --- almost instantly it seemed! --- sound and touch and scent all coalesced into one thing for Colin. And that one thing, naturally, was Clair! He had often thought that there was no was she could ever sneak up on him, for the scents of outside, of apples, of ink, of crisp air and fearlessness that was Clair announced her presence to him as clearly as any howl or calling of his name might do! Yet, Colin was in reverie, and when his mind and his heart were wandering Elsewhere, even while body and mind were rooted here to the mundane world, they were no match for Clair's stealthy approach.
Colin's grin morphed into a full faced smile as his girl held him, and he said her name: "Clair!" No howling needed this time, for she was here and her embrace lasted an eternity in his pounding heart. With the suddenness of sunset after the longest day --- a curious ability Clair had, Colin had noticed, as if she had been in one place and then instantly were in another --- she turned towards Liam and introduced herself. Colin, of course, had spoken of her (probably ad nauseam) to Liam, but he wasn't sure if he would even remember her from first year. He didn't think they knew each other at all.
And in that instant, she was playing a Clair game! "You must be one of Colin's friends. A Ravenclaw no doubt," she said as she looked Liam over. "I swear you look just like Colin's Twin Liam."
Colin smirked slightly as he watched for Liam's reaction. It was just then that he had realised that Clair had no idea Liam hadn't died! He'd never told Liam that he hadn't told Clair either --- oh drat! What it ---!? This could go very badly, Colin was thinking. What would Liam think of Colin's girlfriend just walking up to him and as much as asking "aren't you dead?"
He needn't have worried. Liam, Colin should have known, was not dim! He picked up on her clues and played his part in the girl's game.
Liam bowed.
"My dear Prefect!" he began, his expression remaining neutral, but his bright green eyes were twinkling. Colin relaxed. His brother had this! "It is a pleasure to meet your crazy boyfriends love at last! I am indeed one of Cailean's friends --- his oldest friend in fact, and yes, unlike this poor snakey boy, I too fly among the eagles!" The boy couldn't help breaking into a proper smile at this point. "And I should hope I look like Cailean's twin, lassie, for I am Cailean's twin! I am Liam!" he said proudly. "He has spoken very highly of you, and I gather my dear brother would be entirely lost without you!" Liam raised an eyebrow critically at Colin. "I dare say he didn't write a single word to you all summer? Tisk. Tisk." Liam shook his head of long pale blond hair slowly, reveling in every moment of Colin's embarrassment.
"Wh---? Hang about! I was busy this summer, mate! Tutoring you in all the studies you missed! Anyway, Liam McCoire, I'll have ye know I did write a letter --- a proper letter! I just never --- well never mind! I saw the announcement for the errand and thought this would be a good time to deliver it personally!"
Liam rolled his eyes. He was about to respond when a voice cried out nearby! "LIAM!" Colin looked up and Liam turned to see who had addressed him. Colin's smile broadened! AngelFyre! She enveloped his brother in a huge black robed embrace! He looked like a tiny mouse that had just been enveloped by a swooping raven!
And she didn't let go! If Clair's embrace lasted an eternity, AngelFyre's lasted no less long! If Colin felt even slightly miffed that she seemed to have completely forgotten about him, he knew that Liam was entirely worthy of a million such hugs! Colin realised that AngelFyre was weeping, and shivering. He watched as Liam wrap his arms around her in return, pale silver meeting pale gold. Colin smiled and put his own arm around Clair. He well knew that he and Liam would not be here if it were not for his best girl and his best friend!
He nudged Clair gently. "Check who's at the door, lassie!" he whispered. He caught sight of Simon, no doubt looking for his other half, only to see her sobbing over a boy that looked like Colin! "Maybe we should invite him over!" Colin knew Clair would be happy, for Simon was her best friend; and he smiled at AngelFyre when she asked if she could sit with them. "Of course lass! I reckon there's someone else too..." he said. "Oi! Simon!" he called out. "We found who ye're looking for lad!"

─────────────────────────────────────── HOGWARTS ────────────
| ─── | It was Sunday, September 3rd, 2023.
Exactly 2 days after the start of term had begun. Kim stared down at his sketch and wondered why. Why had he drawn his beloved pink puffball when all he wanted to do right now was forget about this? Strangely, for him, Kim's hair was still black. It should have been white since it was September. But it wasn't this time. He'd had the black color since July, which was odd for him and for anyone who knew him. Tears welled up in his eyes but were quickly blinked away before they could escape him. Kim couldn't think about anything/anyone now, the only thing in his mind other than Puffie was Hogwarts and all of his duties there... A familiar voice rang out behind him, calling out his name and he quickly closed the sketchbook and stuffed it into his enchanted backpack. He didn't want anyone to see what he'd drawn right now. The teen wasn't in the mood for questions or conversation. And then Bailey's head buried itself into his back as she hugged him from behind. She was back. But he didn't really feel like talking to anyone. However, of course, that didn't seem to stop her and she pulled him up and dragged him off. Kim could have shaken her off if he'd wanted.... But what was the point in doing that? It wasn't as if he had anywhere to be and no one was waiting for him back in his room. Well, there was Aiko, Koda and Koishi in his room. But they weren't really things that could snuggle up against him and 'talk' to him in any manner. So it wasn't really the same. A sigh escaped his lips. Kim grabbed the strap of his backpack and slung it over his left shoulder as Bailey dragged him off to this errand she had spoken about a few seconds ago. The dark haired teen glanced around the area as they entered the place. He looked over at Bailey for the first time when she asked him a question about who to see first here.... "No one." Kim said shortly and rather abruptly, his demeanor rather indifferent or maybe even slightly cold towards her. But it wasn't just Bailey, he would act this way towards anyone who approached him. So even if Bailey thought she might have done something, she'd see he treated everyone around him in the same manner. Kim saw the buffet tables lined up inside the Great Hall and while normally he'd have jumped at the chance to try some delicious food and sweets, this time he barely looked at what was there. It didn't matter... Not anymore. Kim looked a bit worn and withdrawn, more than usual. There were bags under his eyes too. But they were covered by makeup, courtesy of a cosmic puff he'd made use of earlier. He'd only come here because Bailey had dragged him there in the first place. But now that he was there, he didn't want to be here. |
