Samuel: Dad, why is the garden so important?

Luis Robertson: Son, when you have your own garden and your own neighbor...you will understand. *casually tosses can over fence*

Samuel: . . .What if I don't want to have a gar-

Luis: *stares* What did you just say son? You're killing me inside.

Samuel: Dad no! I'm sorry!

Luis: Do me a favor and water those flowers with your magic stick thing.

Samuel: That's not allowed dad! Not until July!

Luis: *in shadows* You have betrayed me. . .

[hogwartsstudentstories]

Samuel Robertson

It was nearing mid afternoon at the Robertson household. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be happening. Everything seemed just as peaceful as always. Samuel was preoccupied with his family's lawn mower. Lawn day again! His father needed a pristine lawn, otherwise, their neighbor would get the glory of best looking lawn in the neighborhood. Samuel couldn't let his father down. He pushed the lawn mower, noticing a group of owls flying overhead as he mowed. Okay, well that was slightly of out of the ordinary.

Curious. Owls could be out in the daytime!? Samuel's eyes seemed to sparkle as his gaze followed them through the sky. He stopped mowing momentarily, eyes wide when he realized that the birds were perching on the gutter of his house.

"What the-?" he muttered to himself. His blue eyes locked with one of the birds. They all turned their attention to him. It seemed that even when he pushed the lawn mower back to the garage, the owls remained, attention always on him. He paused, stopping to look up at them with intense curiosity. One of them seemed to nod its head at him.

Samuel's dad emerged from the house a moment later, patting his son on the back. "Excellent work on the lawn Sammy. Come on. We have lunch waiting," Mr. Robertson chuckled, turning to head back inside.

"Dad! Look!" Samuel exclaimed, pointing to the roof excitedly. His dad raised an eyebrow. "They were watching me cut the grass! Aren't they cool?"

With a gentle nod, Mr. Robertson placed his hands on Samuel's shoulders and steered him inside. He said with a sigh, "Best not to keep your mother waiting."

Samuel nodded, heading into the kitchen where his mother was preparing some sandwiches. He eagerly awaited his lunch, licking his lips at the meat packed sandwich his mother handed him. The tomato looked juicy too! Before he could take a proper bite out of his food, a knock came from the door.

"I'll get it. Maybe Charles is here to finally admit we have the best home and garden. Wouldn't be surprised at this point." Mr. Robertson laughed, punching the air excitedly before disappearing down the hall.

"Oh! If we do have the best garden, your father better put us into his acceptance speech." Mrs. Robertson said with a light laugh.

Samuel took a bite of his sandwich, nodding at his mother's suggestion. He could hear his father down the hall, talking to someone. It didn't sound like Charles. It sounded like a squeaky man. With wide eyes, the young boy grew more curious.

"Magic? My son? Impossible." Samuel could hear his father say. Wait? Mrs. Robertson placed her hand on top of Samuel's head, fingers gently ruffling her son's already messy brown hair.

"Can't I go and see?" he asked softly, eyes brimming with wonder. They were talking about him. Why couldn't he go and check?

It seemed his mother was hesitating. Something seemed funny. Samuel gently grabbed his mother's hand and looked up at her with a smile. "We can...go together! Dad can use us as back up!" Samuel suggested. His parents wouldn't allow anything to happen to him!

With that, Samuel led his mother down the hall. His father was discussing something with a very, short man. His mother joined her husband. "What's this all about?" She questioned her husband.

"I-I. . .," Mr. Robertson replied, glancing at Samuel in surprise.

"Oho! Mr. Samuel Robertson! It's so wonderful to make your acquaintance! Your father was left speechless and I do apologize for that!" the short man chuckled.

Samuel grew curious. He seemed to be wearing robes. It was summer! It was hot! Furthermore, how could this man know his name. "May I ask who you are?" Samuel inquired softly, voice still full of curiosity.

"Oh goodness!" the stranger replied with a jolly laugh. "My name is Professor Filius Flitwick! Charms professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Pleasure to meet you young man!" He reached out to shake Samuel's hand and Samuel shook it politely.

"Witchcraft and wizardry? Hogwarts? What is this all about?" Mrs. Robertson questioned. "Luis, what's going on?"

Mr. Robertson cleared his throat. "Our son is apparently...a wizard?" He said sounding uncertain himself. Samuel's eyes widened.

"I can do magic!?" Samuel squeaked excitedly.

Mr. Robertson stole a glance at his wife, who seemed both confused and shocked all at once. Samuel looked over at his parents, eyes shining with joy.

"Of course, but your parents will need to give their approval in order for you to go," Flitwick chuckled.

Samuel clapped his hands together, looking up at his parents with hopeful eyes. "Please. Please can I go?" he begged. He could only imagine how cool it would be to do magic.

There was a silence between the three family members now. Before Samuel could continue begging, Mrs. Robertson sighed, "If this is some kind of themed camp. You may go."

Flitwick shook his head. "It's a school year actually." he corrected. "I will be escorting you three to Diagon Alley so he may purchase his school supplies. I would also like to inform Samuel that you cannot tell anyone else that you're a wizard. Furthermore, no magic is to be used outside of Hogwarts until you are seventeen."

Samuel pouted. What was the point of being a wizard when you couldn't even do magic outside of school!? Oh well, he had football at least. There would be no way he could let his summer sport go down the drain. "So, can I still go!?" he asked again.

"Cheryl," said Mr. Robertson with a nervous grin. "Maybe we should let him go. This seems like a pretty elite school if it's so secretive. Besides, this guy is going to show us around. If we see anything that resembles a scam, we decline."

"Fine." She replied, pursing her lips.

Samuel cheered as Flitwick whipped out Samuel's Hogwarts letter and handed it over to him. With that, the family followed the professor. Diagon Alley would be their next destination.

“So, will Sammy boy here get his own show? Will he be famous? Pull rabbits out of his hat?” Luis asked, clenching his fists in his excitement.

“Of course not. This type of magic is strictly secretive. The two of you will have to ensure nobody else finds out about Samuel’s abilities. It could be disastrous for the Wizarding World,” Flitwick explained. “But I have high hopes that the two of you won’t jeopardize our world. There will be no pulling rabbits out of hats, but perhaps turning them into hats.”

This silenced Mr. Robertson. Samuel stole a glance back at his dad, hoping he wasn’t going to be labeled a disappointment. If he could make life for his parents better than their neighbors’ own, then maybe he wouldn’t be. He had second guesses about this now. With eyes downcast, he continued to follow the professor. He could hear his mother and father whispering behind them.

(Sorry it isn't the best. Not a lot of time to edit and no computer. 😫)

[hogwartsstudentstories]

So we've decided to post little shorts here instead of full length and full year tales. It's more a world building and character dev kinda thing. We will be dating the year, month, and day of when said tale takes place...kinda like a jumbled up diary I suppose. Unless anyone has an issue with that style. We could tag dates I suppose to ensure you can find them properly. Maybe a Hogwarts:insert date here tag might work...

[hogwartsstudentstories]

Freddie: *happily practicing his wordless magic*

Coworker: Freddie, we gotta go. The Muggle Worthy Excuse Committee needs eight of us to do some hardcore work today.

Freddie: Okay.

Freddie: *gets briefed*

Freddie: *after obliviating and lying to a Muggle* Bless the boy who lived, but something tells me he's going to be trouble. . .

Freddie: *proceeds to drink fire whiskey*

[hogwartsstudentstories]

Terrance: Samuel, do you ever wonder why the stars align?

Samuel: Because they move around the galaxy?

Terrance: Do you think Sinistra will let that answer slide?

Samuel: Uh...*sweats nervously* I dunno...

Both: Birchwood! Fitzgerald! Why do the stars align?

Jimmy: *stoic* To give horoscope writers content.

Weston: Stars typically go around the galaxy *long drawn out explanation*

The Forty Students

So if you’ve seen the picture posts, we already know which is the main character, but…each one will have their own backstory. We figured quick short stories about key moments or moments of joy/anguish/pride/etc...are good enough. We want character and this takes place during Voldemort’s first rise to power, well...for the most part. It doesn’t last long though. We will definitely be doing a lot about their lives after school. So here’s a VERY brief synopsis of each character. WARNING THOUGH! If you click keep reading, there is a very long post waiting for you. You have been warned.

Nicole Bates: A popular and occasionally snobby young lady that enjoys wizarding fashion and music. She hopes that all of her hard work and studies in school will allow her to be the best in her career. She hopes to one day become a Healer at an institute such as St. Mungo's. She enjoys researching potions and one day hopes to alleviate ailments associated with more nefarious ones. 

Jimmy Birchwood: At first, a happy go lucky young man that suffered a Bludger mishap during a practice and is now stoic, cold, and extremely unamused by life. He’s currently Keeper on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. When not practicing Quidditch or doing homework, he can usually be found reading in either his common room or the library. Despite being an impressive Quidditch player, Birchwood would rather go off to be an auror.

Alan Bowen: A loyal young man and a Hippogriff enthusiast with a bit of a lighthearted yet rude streak. He still cares for his friends and plays Chaser on the Slytherin Quidditch team. He prefers to be with a small group of friends rather than a large one. He hopes to one day own a ranch where he can breed Hippogriff and teach people about how awesome they are!

Taylor Brown: A quiet young lad that just wants to stay out of trouble...please!? He sometimes finds it difficult to understand his housemates, so he tends to keep to himself or be with Olivia in the library. In the end, he just wants to work in the Dept. of Magical Games and Sports. Doing what you ask? Scheduling Quidditch matches. The games may be what the people look forward to, but without a scheduler, there can be no good games!

Camilla Conners: A young lady that enjoys Herbology and the occasional prank or two, and hey, throw Quidditch in there too. She plays Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. She always ties to cheer up her friends at every turn, no matter how she's feeling. She wants to open up a shop with her friend Jennifer. She's great at cultivating magical and nonmagical plants for her friends potions.

Thomas Denton: A young man obsessed with the creatures of the magical world and hates being the butt of a certain Gryffindor's pranks. Well, he isn't necessarily the target, he just finds himself in the way. He tries to figure out how to get them back, but his housemates don't want anything to do with those antics. He has an interest in Magizoology and hopes to be a valuable asset to the research team in Romania.

Jennifer Dobbins: Relaxed and ever ready to aid her friends, she's a passionate potions enthusiast with a heart of gold. She sometimes has small bouts of anxiety when she puts her homework off to the last minute (minus potions of course!) Her friend Camilla agreed to open up a shop once they left Hogwarts. Her potions skills are top notch and she wants to share a range of potions with the world!

Marsha Donalds: Quiet and reserved, she prefers studying alone in the library, but has an eye for ministry mishaps. Because of her knack for gathering facts on people, she also learned how to read other's body language. Because of her talent for digging through the news to garner facts about the ministry and other people of importance in the wizarding world, she wishes to become a Daily Prophet reporter.

Eric Felder: A cocky and conceited young man with a brash attitude and an even bigger mouth. Add in the fact that he’s a Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team and you have even more trouble. He has a rather short temper, so that leads to some unneeded confrontations. Eric wishes to venture off into the world of potioneering and hopes to one day discover some new and useful potions that will take the world by storm.

Weston Fitzgerald: A scholar through and through, he strives to be the best a student can be all while trying to keep his cousin out of trouble. After all, he is Head Boy and Ravenclaw prefect...it’s his duty! His cousin really knows how to press all of his buttons to stress him out. Weston loves dueling and co-captains the Dueling Club with Gregory. He wants to use his talents to become an auror.

Gregory Goldstein: A rather absent minded young man with a knack for dueling, but he is a gentleman and loves the Dueling Club he co-captains with Weston Fitzgerald. He tries to perform small acts of kindness to others to brighten up their days. He and Weston want to become aurors in the future, and Gregory knows that one day, there will be a time where he will be needed as one. He can feel it.

Stanley Green: Calm, cool, and collected at all times, nobody can stop this guy's nonchalant attitude and super chill personality, except Transfiguration...that boy is excited for that. Not only is Transfiguration his passion, but he loves Quidditch and plays Keeper for the Gryffindor team. He proves to have a knack for talking his way out of situations. Stanley however, gets tired of Quidditch after Hogwarts (playing anyway) and joins the Broom Regulatory Unit at the Ministry.

Jane Hosking: A fashion lover with an elegant air to her, but she'll still throw you a death glare for wearing that dreadful color combination of orange and lime green. Thankfully she won’t use her Slytherin prefect authority to dock points for it! She makes sure that her outfits are always perfectly matched. She eventually wants to become a fashion icon in the wizarding world and she will do it! SHE WILL!

Sienna Hunter: Need a hand? She's got your back. Sienna may not always appear to be the friendliest person, but she will gladly assist you with your homework...if she thinks she’s good enough at the subject! She sometimes cons a few people she assists out of a few extra sickles and knuts. Sierra has a knack for giving out sweet deals to younger students looking for some Honeyduke's candy and because of her prowess with money, she chooses to work for Gringott's.

Heidi Irvine: A sophisticated, and occasionally rude young lady that seeks to be the best. Even without meaning to, she can come off as insensitive. She plays Seeker on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team and has declared herself co-captain. She’s also Hufflepuff prefect. What more could she ask for? Because the talent scouts don't choose Heidi, she goes off to become a Healer at St. Mungo's. 

Arthur Jacobs: Constantly dragged into shenanigans, he just wants to plant things...give him a break please! When he gets that break, he can go off and play Quidditch with the Gryffindors. He’s a pretty good Beater and an even better Gryffindor prefect. He usually comes off as quiet and friendly. Eventually, he becomes a Herbologist, often supplying Camilla with some interesting plants he discovers around the world.

Matthew Jarrett: A young man that loves a good joke or discussion about muggle television shows. He often finds himself rambling on about the shows.  He’s a muggle born...what can I say? Often times, he thinks about what happens when he just randomly waves his wand and mutters words, especially the TV show titles. This curiosity led him to wanting to be a Spell Inventor at the Ministry.

Evelyn Jones: A chattery young lady that is intrigued by everyday gossip and a good story. Because of her expertise at crafting juicy gossip stories. She loves telling long stories that she makes up to cause a little bit  of drama. Evelyn wants to work for the Muggle Worthy Excuse Committee when she leaves Hogwarts.

Gwenog Jones: A brutal beater on her house Quidditch team, whose skills don’t get to shine as well as they should thanks to her Quidditch “co-captain”. She  often tutors some of her housemates whenever they need it, especially her Quidditch pals. She wants to play for the Holyhead Harpies when she leaves Hogwarts, but hopes that Heidi isn't ruining it for her. She does happen to meet with a talent scout for the Harpies.

Michael Kravitz: A laid back young man who gets lost and confused quite easily.  He likes to be around his friends and has found a liking for playing Quidditch, just not on his house team anymore. He tends to be a bit of a foodie, which causes a few food coma days. Dragons are his passion. He loves anything to do with dragons from their eggs, to how their scales glisten in the sun! He hopes to have a reservation for dragons that have been illegally purchased and abandoned as babies.

James Lawrence: A loud and fun loving young man that dreams of becoming a Quidditch player. He loves Quidditch and causing commotion in class...well, when he can...Otherwise, playing Chaser for the Gryffindor team is his life and as captain he wants to ensure his team gets to finally share in a win to celebrate together. He sometimes ends up being the tiniest bit of a sore loser when he misses the win by an inch. When he leaves school, he hopes to be as great of a sports entertainer in professional Quidditch as he is at Hogwarts and dreams of playing for the Montrose Magpies...he wouldn't even be upset by a signing on with the Chudley Cannons.

Katherine Long: A young lady that absolutely loves numbers. She likes to keep track of scores, house points, and well...predict the future with them. She asks everyone she meets at school if she can predict their future. Her love for arithmancy has led her to wanting to become a world renowned arithmancer, or at least one good enough to be credible in Diagon Alley.

Carlisle Martin: A narcissistic young man that can’t keep his ego in check and that just means he can’t get what he wants most of the time. He likes to think he has it all as Slytherin prefect and Slytherin Quidditch captain (chaser too), but he always loses out on what matters most. He tends to come off as arrogant, even when trying to just have a normal conversation. He has a slight interest in magical creatures many wizards would consider pests. He wants to become a top member of the Pest Advisory Bureau when he leaves Hogwarts. It's not the most noble job, but someone has to do it!

Carrie Mileno: A strict and rule loving young lady that hates when her housemates misbehave and lose them any kind of lead they had. She is a Gryffindor prefect and Head Girl. Why wouldn’t she try to keep her house in line!? She would much rather study or do her assignments than have to worry about being a "babysitter" for her housemates. Carrie has a knack for charms and counter curses, having been extremely well versed in Charms and Transfiguration. She wishes to become a Curse Breaker for the Ministry of Magic, a job requiring several talents.

Olivia Mitchells: A shy and quiet young lady that prefers studying and wand work to the hustle and bustle of the castle corridors and students, but as Ravenclaw prefect, she does do her duty! Even though she's on the shy side, she does her best to help the new students when they need it. She enjoys studying unique magic at the Hogwarts library with Taylor and hopes to become a Metal Charmer after her time at Hogwarts.

Hughbert O’Reily: A gentle and kind young man that desires to make the world a better and brighter place, and he wants to reach those goals. He tries to make friends in every house to prove that they don't need old grudges anymore, a new way of thinking is needed. Hughbert hopes that becoming an auror will bring about the world changes he desires. He knows the risks and would do anything to ensure the world is at peace again.

Brianna Parks: A mischievous and playful young lady that enjoys hovering around her friends to cheer them on...or to scare them...either works. She tends to be a bit clingy to people that she considers her best friends. While preferring the role of Chaser, Brianna decided to step up her game and tryout for a position as a Gryffindor Beater...and she got it! Despite her playful nature, she's an extremely gifted healer. She may have made mistakes in her early years, but she lived by practice makes perfect.

Arnold Reynard: An egotistical young man that highly believes he is better than anyone else. He fawns over his house and can be a bully. He’s still bitter that he didn’t get the Head Boy position, but is still content with being a top notch Hufflepuff prefect. Everything he does is by the book, one little mishap can get your house docked points. His knack for perfection has led him to pursuing a career in the Magical Trading Standards Body for the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

Rosalia Riverton: Studious, reserved, intelligent, creative, and elegant...a true Ravenclaw, but she is overshadowed by other students in popularity. She keeps herself in the know of different spells and charms she could use to help others. She often finds herself discussing new healing techniques with both Nicole and Heidi, making it her life's goal to become a healer despite all of the difficulties of learning every potential spell she could see on a day to day basis. She just hopes her talents won't be needed for a crisis. . .she just wants things to be like how they were...a time of peace.

Samuel Robertson: A bright and kind young man that has a fascination with how wands work and wants desperately to be a wandmaker to share his passion with others. Our main character that despite his cheery, creative, and loving nature, is often bullied for being muggle born and won’t fight back because of his conflict averse nature. Even though bullied, he is willing to help others, always giving them the benefit of the doubt. Samuel indeed finds himself craving the taste of adventure when he leaves Hogwarts. He plans on being an apprentice for Ollivander before going off to start his own wand shop somewhere. The U.S.? Australia? Canada? The choices are endless! He just hopes that he can see his friends again one day. He may not have had a lot, but the ones he did make left a lasting impact on him.

Lysandra Rowntree: A quiet, yet easily angered young lady that gets upset when even the slightest things go wrong. She always has a worst case scenario plan in mind. Usually, she keeps to herself and hates anything to do with gossip and rumors. When she isn't in the common room, great hall, or classes. . .she often finds herself tucked away in the corner of the library to research little known and lost pieces of magic. She has even found herself in the restricted Section on multiple occasions. Her goal is to become an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries. 

Shawn Upton: Cunning and reserved, he prefers to hang out with one or two at most at a time. He flirts with evil, but finds change along the way. He can be a bit cold at times and it takes a while for him to warm up. Shawn knows that he and his friends will end up far apart on their journeys to self discovery. He hopes that getting a job at the Portkey Office at the ministry will allow him to see them from time to time.

Brian Valentine: A hard working young man that believes that the magical world is full of weird and unusual folk. He isn’t the biggest fan of that. He almost regrets not going to a muggle school instead of Hogwarts. Because of his upbringing with muggles and his lack of normality in the wizarding world, he chooses to manage the gift shop at St. Mungo's where he hopes to make a hefty profit and live as comfortably as possible.

Kelsey Valeria: A dramatic and elegant young lady that wishes to bring her acting talent to center stage. She often writes her own little scripts and gets her friends to help her practice on the weekends. After Hogwarts, she hopes to become an actress for the wizarding world. Her intentions are to go to Italy to perform, but she could deal with radio dramas around wizarding UK. 

Freddie Veners: A muggle born that enjoys a good Quidditch game or two. He loves having a good laugh and enjoys moments of commotion. He’s the captain and chaser for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team...and he loves giving his best friend James Lawrence a rough time.  He evens plays pranks with Lawrence from time to time, much to the dismay of the teachers. Freddie himself decides that he doesn't want to pursue Quidditch outside of Hogwarts and instead, continues to focus on his schoolwork to hopefully become an Obliviator in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes for the Ministry.  

Karmen Williams: A young lady that loves the music of the wizarding world and wants to bring her charisma to the airwaves. She practices her interviewing skills with Samuel whenever she gets a chance to see him. She hopes that one day she can get her own broadcast on the radio where she can interview new wizarding musicians and celebs!

Terrance Wilson: A young man that loves Quidditch and enjoys discussing the stats and scores. He can be a bit naïve and paranoid at a times. He never lets the paranoia get in the way of his A game though! He plays the role of Beater on the Ravenclaw team and adores every minute of the game. He truly wants to continue his Quidditch career after he graduates from Hogwarts. Terrance hopes to play for Pride of Portree or the Montrose Magpies. Even the Tutshill Tornados wouldn't be too bad!

Riana Wychwood: An elegant and refined young lady who loves music, but also has a passion and talent for divination. She makes sure to allot time for herself to practice her instrument at least half an hour everyday. She enjoys her position as Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, thankful her friend James Lawrence let her stay on the team throughout the years. Riana chooses to avoid prophecies when she can, choosing to focus on her music. Though, she plans to have a small divination shop to work in when the orchestra isn't playing.

Sarah Yielding: A happy go lucky young lady that supports her friend’s Quidditch team...when they aren’t playing each other that is. She often has to become the mediator between Gwenog and Heidi after the game if they lose. She plays the position of Keeper on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Sarah wants to open up her own tavern to serve the wizarding public and keep them up and refreshed!

Amy Zergona: A rule abiding young lady that wishes to one day work at the Ministry of Magic to keep her parents proud of her. Due to that fact, she prefers to study for hours on end instead of going on Hogsmeade trips or hanging out with her friends. Her love for rules has her wanting to become a worker in the Improper Use of Magic Office. If you can't follow the rules, warnings are required!

The ten main Hufflepuffs and let’s just say, don’t judge books by their covers. There’s a few Puffs here that aren’t quite as nice as their house make them out to be...and one is a literal villain, one is manipulative, two are rude, and one is a traitor (to protect their family at least...) and the rest are cool peeps. As they should be. Of course, you need to figure out who the actual villains are. Grumps happen, but that doesn’t mean they’re the bad guys...

The ten main Slytherins! Have some cunning and ambition! Not all Slytherins are evil and these folk are here to remind you of that! None of these Slytherins are evil, of course…some may start off as bullies…but people can grow and change. Though, not a single dark wizard comes from Slytherin house this year.

The ten main Gryffindor characters in our story. Thank James Lawrence for the excessive Quidditch players (he really wants to win). Remember though, not all Gryffindors are absent minded, not all Gryffindors are cocky, and most of all, they can be just like the other houses…meaning, just like Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Hufflepuff, they too can be unique.

From left to right (top row, alphabetical by last name) Camilla Conners, Jennifer Dobbins, Gregory Goldstein, Stanley Green, Arthur Jacobs

From left to right (bottom row, alphabetical by last name) Michael Kravitz, James Lawrence, Carrie Mileno, Brianna Parks, Riana Wychwood

The ten main Ravenclaws with of course, Samuel being our true main character. These guys are all super important to his story and growth and add some various perspectives.Not only that, but each one has their own career path and future planned out. Remember, not all Ravenclaws are snobs, not all Ravenclaws are academically intelligent, and Ravenclaws welcome anyone into their common room if they can get the riddle correct! Ravenclaw pride!

Hello everyone! We established this blog quite some time ago, but never got around to it (life just tends to get in the way sometimes). So, I'd like to introduce us.

My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I'm a Ravenclaw and an avid supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. I love writing and I love just messing around with the Hogwarts scene for fun.

My fiance is Damien, a Gryffindor. He's a trans man and the most important person in my life. I support everything he chooses to do and he has my heart for as long as we live. He loves writing a good story or two as well.

Most of our writing will be pre-Harry. It does run into the Hogwarts Mystery era (but we won't be diving into that considering they're short little ramblings), and our story ends very soon after that begins. Until of course, we jump to the end of the Goblet of Fire and Voldemort's return. Things start to get real around that point. Our next post will introduce the forty students this blog will follow (though, there will be several side characters to add). Also, we may allow users to submit their characters and stories for the timeframe. Why not just make this blog inclusive as well? It's under consideration. We will think about adding a mod or two to help out as well (plus it gets some free writing practice in).

The format for this blog will be an excerpt or two of each character. Of course, we do have a main character, from Ravenclaw because Ravenclaws need more love.

Sorry this went on longer than I expected. Sometimes, I talk too much.
