An Ease To Frustration...
Eden stormed across the grounds, towards the Quidditch lockers, her stride purposeful and determined. Other Gryffindor's passed her as she walked, but she didn't pay them any attention, her goal firmly in sight.
She'd been bored, doodling on parchment in an alcove by a window, when she'd seen the Gryffindor Quidditch team practicing. Curious, she'd ( Read more... ) -
Dream a little dream of me...
Draco returned from Andromeda's house emotionally exhausted, but upbeat. The past several nights he'd worked himself up to the point where he could go the entire night now using Lucid Dreams before the nightmares would start to creep in. He still couldn't wake without Harry's help, but the dreamscape felt less and less like a place a danger ( Read more... ) -
Back to the Manor
Severus finished what research he could do at Hogwarts, had a chat with Phineas Nigellus Black about Black family history, and then returned to his frame at Malfoy Manor. As he walked in and set the books he had borrowed from Madam Cornfoote onto the desk, he saw that Draco was bent over the worktable, his quill scratching furiously ( Read more... ) -

The pain was no better and no worse than it had ever been, but the emotional pain ripped through her more strongly than the tearing of her skin ever could. To know that she was alone, after allowing herself to get used to James ( Read more... ) -
Eddies in the time continuum...
{despite inconvenient facts such as time continuing to pass, the current thread is only hours after this one}Ginny wasn't home when Harry returned, but his note was gone, so she must have read it. He didn't think much about it until after a solitary dinner, late in the evening, when it came close to time to check in on Draco. And she still wasn't ( Read more... ) -
My sixth thread in a row, or something
James thumbed anxiously through the pages of Bane: Keep Your Family Safe From Werewolves before discarding it and picking up the next one. He had a stack of books beside him which he'd taken out in pretence of doing a research project. Well, it was a research project, it just wasn't going to get assessed ( Read more... )
