Blaise stood on the edge of the patio and looked out over the gardens. They were supposed to have their garden party in the spring, but because of the heating charms on the gardens, the winter chill never came close, so Hannah insisted they hold it early. He sighed. Normally, he would stick to the shadows and keep his back to the wall at parties, ( Read more... )

Xander smiled at Daisy as he stepped into the Council house. He knew things had changed while he had been gone, but Daisy had not ( Read more... )

Pevensie was sitting on Daisy’s desk talking to the other girl. Meredith was off training with Hannah, Alice was working on her knife throwing skills with Draco, and Hiran was doing research for Dobson. Pevensie was bored, but talking to Daisy cleared that up ( Read more... )

Hannah had the wireless on and was singing off-key at the top of her lungs. She was in the kitchen and baking up a storm. She was feeling good. She was in a pair of her pink fuzzy socks and wearing on of Blaise’s old t-shirts that he’d tried to throw out because of a stain she could barely even see on it and a pair of his boxers - not that he ( Read more... )

Buffy was double checking everything she had prepared for her stay-date with Theo. There was pizza, chips and dip, some drinks, and some sweet snacks for munching on. She was dressed in a simple peasant top and jeans, not even bothering with shoes. This was just a casual night of eating and talking. It would do them good. Now she just needed to ( Read more... )

Buffy watched the clock all afternoon. When it was almost time for Theo to leave, she took a deep breath and left her rooms. They needed to talk and hadn’t done so since Dawn had come through like a tornado. After the dinner that made Buffy want to smash her face into a wall, because that had to be less painful, she had avoided him, not sure what ( Read more... )

It was a slow night. Draco and Pevensie were patrolling the cemetery near Hogsmeade. So far they had not even come across anything. Not a peep tonight. She was doing better and seemed more like her old self again, but Draco was still a bit miffed about her not telling him certain things. He knew she would have her secrets, but some of it was a big ( Read more... )

Draco was doing a bit of stalking in his downtime. It was what he usually did when he wasn’t trying to get Pevensie to talk to him or worrying about Blaise and Hannah. If Luna knew how many times he’d been standing outside her flat, she’d probably file a restraining decree. Draco peered at her through a gap in the bookshelves in Flourish and Blotts ( Read more... )
