Where: Just outside the Transfiguration classroom When: After 5th year Gryffindor Transfiguration Who: Flossie && Maeve ( @flxfelicis​ )

With her timetable being a strange mix of different year’s subjects, she found that some of her lessons weren’t with Hufflepuffs. Transfiguration, for one, she was with the Gryffindors, most of whom she barely knew. It was especially difficult for her when she thought too long on the fact that they had actually been at the school two years less than her, not just one, because she had already been held back once before. At least that made it a bit easier to keep her head down and focused on her work but at the back of her mind were still all the distractions that had stopped her from studying as much as she should have done over the summer, since knowing that she would have to retake her fifth year in certain core subjects.

The moment McGonagall dismissed them, her phone was in her hand, checking up on those various distractions. Notifications, DMs, likes, top stories, Quilledt feed, lather, rinse, refresh. A lot could happen during the course of one Transfiguration lesson. For instance: breaking news, otherwise known as break-up news. “Oh no,” she gasped, stopping in the doorway out of the classroom. She only realised she was in the way when there was a nudge from behind and instead of moving, she just turned to address her new classmate. “Bee Blishwick and Georgiana Orpington broke up, isn’t it the worst? I wonder what this means for the band. It better not mean the Orchard Newts are going to split up. I mean, they can still make music together not being a couple, right?”

Where: Quidditch Pitch When: At the end of the first Slytherin team practice Who: Aiden && Sirius ( @flxfelicis​ )

Despite the established team, Aiden had been confident about his chances of getting onto it. He had been on the school team at the Icarus Memorial Institute, playing against other junior teams across the Greek islands. That he had to settle for Chaser over the Beater position he had previously played was irritating but as long as he could be in the air he didn’t care too much. Still... it would be nice...

“Hey, Black!” he called, as the team started back to the changing rooms. It didn’t make much sense as a name to shout out when nearly half the team were Blacks but at least a week of sharing a dorm meant that he felt he could call Regulus by his first name by now and the other two both held the coveted position so it didn’t matter which responded. Sirius was closer, however, so it was him that Aiden focused his eyes on. Aiden waited until the rest of the team were out of earshot because he wasn’t stupid enough to throw his weight around when he was still the newcomer but once they were, he swung his broom over his shoulder with a cocky grin and asked, “What would it take to get you to swap positions with me next practice? Sometimes a guy just needs to whack a few bludgers.”
