A History

HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED IS GONE
And has been so for nearly three years. Though he was seemingly defeated by Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, there are still nervous whispers on the street. Yes the war seems to be over, but shaking off years of mistrust and uncertainty is harder than just shrugging off a cloak. With the Dark Lord's followers struggling to reintegrate into a world that no longer trusts them, tensions are still high despite the immediate threat being nullified.
A NEW YEAR BEGINS AT HOGWARTS
And the tensions from outside are just as prominent within its walls. Though Dumbledore does his best to ease House relations, the student body has never been so divided, nor so large. Attendance has been up since Voldemort's defeat, and the '84-'85 class continues the tradition as people remain fearful of the outside world and look to protect their children. But with so many kids to watch it's easy to lose track of them, and just as easy to take advantage of the chaos to cause a bit of your own.

I know no one is reading these at this point but the cat who inspired Myr's fur baby Owen's personality passed away today unexpectedly :( RIP Shadow, you were a great friend.

Chapter 66: Hi Dani, you prolly wouldn't expect a comment on this story but tadah, here I am, finally finishing this amazing fic within three days of cramming!! Man, it's such a cathartic experience, going through seven years with these amazing youngsters in a mere three days :D It really feels like only yesterday Myr was getting his letter rudely dropped on his face, Raj was getting excited about her acceptance letter but her parents seemed more overjoyed with Sahana's prefect election, Franziska bouncing around in Diagon Alley and Ana really wanting to go Durmstrang. Now we have a matured version of them graduating Hogwarts and adulting at their own pace and finally figuring out what they want to do in life and being happy at the same time. I am hearing so many wedding bells <3

Finishing this fic had given me a whirlwind of emotions as I have slowly started to fall in love with all the characters one by one, even though Ana fights me every single time too!! She's really a hard to love lady but I can't seem to hate her as well :P I really like how she grew through the story, I found her very stuck-up and annoying in the beginning but her close-knitted friendship with Jerome at the end was just so sweet and endearing. After all, I realised she just takes time to warm up to people and with a smart brain like her, I can understand why she would love to hang out with the older kids who definitely have more knowledge than her. Ana dear, I think I can forgive you for ditching the your class and hanging out with Eric's class in the earlier years. The dynamics of Alec and Ana are so nice! They are like best friends, colleagues and lovers, all in one, that must be so nice :D

Speaking about Eric, I swear Eric and Laurel are my favourite OTP!! <3 At first, I actually thought that there might be something going on between Eric and Ana until Laurel came into the picture and I'm like NAWW they are so cute together!! And then Emily reminded me that Laurel died in the Battle of Hogwarts and my heart shattered < / 3 Poor Eric and Tori. I still can't come into terms with the fact that Eric is a widower now and Tori had lost his mum :'(

Another part that shocked me to the core was when Queenie died of dragon pox. I was literally so shocked and I had to read Clary's words over and over again to finally realise that my favourite Slytherin is gone :O Granted, this had to happen to stick to canon but it still when there's no more Eugene and Queenie :'( I swear they are the cutest and sweetest couple after Eric and Laurel. The idea of arranged marriage might not be the greatest thing but they managed to work things out so so well with love. I can really sympathise with how broken Eugene must have felt. I never fancied the Slytherins but Queenie was definitely an exception. I love her bubbly character and how she is kinda the most un-Slytherin Slytherin out of her class. Nia and Elspeth are definitely the stereotypes and for some reason, Elspeth was just so dodgy that I immediately linked all the Slytherin pranks to her LMAO (the Ravenclaw slippery staircase confirmed my suspicions that the Year 1 missing steps on the staircase definitely has sth to do with her). Ana's reading on Els during Divination was so on point and really ties up the entire loose thread. I'm very certain that Raj knows about it too but just never publicly called her out but rather quietly tried to clear up her mess bc snakes are supposed to have each other's backs. Dk why, just felt that Els is kinda taking advantage of that principle??

I never have thought that Myr would be Head Boy and you surprised me a lot. I knew Charlie wouldn't be HB cause canon so I was expecting another male Prefect. Plus imagine Charlie being a HB and Quidditch Captain + NEWTs on top of everything, poor boy is gonna burn out XD Kinda had a hunch that Raj would become Head Girl after Jemma's compliment after they broke apart Flint and Wood (+Perce) during one of the sixth year patrol. I only realised that the previous year HB and HG have a say in who's the next year's HB and HG towards the end of the fic (was that in canon that I had just conveniently forgotten?) That means Terrence and Tabs must have recommended the two of them :D Surprisingly, the two make a good pair and I'm glad that Raj is starting to hang out with another non-Slytherin (although the excuse is always Prefect duties :P) Would have really liked it if Raj's and Donaghan's friendship lasted but life happens, people come and goes and it's all part and parcel of growing up and character development so all's good XD Them recommending Saundra to Dumbledore as HG is so amazing and it really shows how much Raj has grown up (and fak, Saundra died too, my heart cracked again!!) Heck, when Raj started to enjoy Tabs' company during patrols in her sixth year, I'm like dang girl, you are doing soooo great!!

Franziska is like the kindest and sweetest lady, I swear!! She literally gives me the girl-next-door vibes and she's so pretty!!! Must be her Veela charms kekeke XD Right from the start, I know that she would be a easy lady to love and she would definitely not fight me, unlike Ana XD She and Stephan, a major yes from me!! Like Penny, I kinda felt that she and Stephan would end up dating and it's even more amazing that they are endgame!! <3 Her righteousness and compassion is going to take her to greater heights and I wonder if she will appear in UFF?? :-)

I think I have covered the major four characters and the side characters are real amazing as well, adding spice and colour to this entire story. I love that everyone is maturing at their own pace, from childish prankers to great people with ambitions and strife in their own ways as they step into adult world. Evie and her wand malfunctions makes me laugh all the time and oh my, she's becoming a Security Troll Trainer, that's just bat cool and crazy and befitting of her!! Remi riding on the Giant Squid was hilarious yet worrying at the same time, and true to himself, he's gonna become a monster hunter HAHAHA Remi never disappoints!! I love how at the end Frannie, Evie, Shaun and Finn was in the same train compartment during first year and it went back full circle to them being real good friends despite being sorted into different house, that's literally so lovely <33

I think I would have to go back to reread CtF to spot all the cameo appearances of our lovely H:aH casts and appreciate them even more cause I know all of them will be doing exceptionally well in their own ways :D I prolly really need to start a character chart for H:aH, CtF and UFF and link all of them together for better references and better appreciation of these amazing works from the greatest you!! With so many deaths in CtF and me just started loving the H:aH kids (now adults), I'm preparing a box of tissues to cry if there are more H:aH kids perishing :'(

This has been great ride and I'm looking forward to the end of CtF that would prolly had me bawling my eyes out but nonetheless, I'm all prepared to kickstart another emotional ride with you in UFF when October starts :-)

Chapter 66: thank you for the past 2 years! i haven't been all that active in commenting or updating myself with this fic (idk if you'll even rmb me tbh haha) but i do read it whenever i have the time. it's been a blast reading all the fanatics and unique personalities of each characters hahaha i hope you'll be doing another applyfic soon? xd and much love and thanks for keeping evie in the fic! i thought she would be killed off or something based on her antics :p i'll keep this short cause idk what else to write anymore.

here's hoping that evie jones, our little ball of sunshine, weirdness and chaos brought a spark of happiness and excitement to the story as well helping the story progress to what it is today. much love! xoxo

Chapter 66: And now, we're at the end. It's so weird seeing the green Completed status on this story and seeing Completed in the title. This story has brought me so much happiness over the past two years. I looked forward to the updates every fortnight and I would always wonder what you'd write about in the upcoming chapter. It's amazing that you were able to update regularly with such long chapters and I'm SO proud of you for finishing this mammoth project. You are an inspiration and I've learned a lot from you as a writer myself. Even though the end seemed far, you kept going and I want you to know that this accomplishment means A LOT.

It's also not easy to juggle so many characters while adhering to canon, but you did it. Like I mentioned before, I love huge character casts in anime, published series, etc., so this was right up my alley. But also, for some reason, whenever I read apply fics, I could never get attached to the characters. If they were OCs submitted by other users and not idols, I never got attached. But I became attached to every character in this story. You made magic happen and brought them to life with your story-telling abilities, and I honestly didn't feel like I was reading fanfiction. It felt like I was reading an extended part of the original series and now this is my canon. These are the events that transpired before Harry attended Hogwarts. And even though H:aH is done, I know you're going to weave the same magic with CtF and I am so excited to see what you do with those characters. Even though I don't know most of the submitted characters, I know I'm going to become so attached to them, just like I did with the H:aH kids.

I'm also really happy that my comments were able to help you so much. I couldn't NOT comment, especially since I saw how much effort you were putting into this story. And I liked sharing my thoughts and talking with another Potterhead, since it's been such a long time since I've been able to properly fangirl over this series with someone. None of my close friends IRL are into the Harry Potter series and you're also such a wonderful person to talk to, so it was a no-brainer for me to set aside time to read and comment on each chapter. And I think commenting also helped me become more attached to the characters since I was voicing my thoughts, which made me read more carefully to catch any details you slipped in and try to find clues to things you were referencing in the future. It's been an amazing experience for me to watch these characters grow and to watch you grow as a writer, and I'm forever grateful that you were inspired to create this story and that I found it in time to apply with a character. And I'm even more grateful that we became friends and here's to many more moments of fangirling over the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!! Love you lots, Dani!! <3

Chapter 66: Oh my gosh, right off the bat, we're starting with Franziska in a serious relationship, AND I'M SCREAMING BC YESSS IT'S STEPHAN AND I'M SO HAPPY THAT THEY ENDED UP TOGETHER!! *o* AND, OMG, THEY STARTED DATING SO QUICKLY!! A few DAYS after graduation?? Legit, I was expecting weeks or months, like after Franziska adjusted to her new position at the Ministry, but they didn't waste any time!! XD AHHHH, I'M SO HAPPY THAT THEY'RE TOGETHER AND THAT SHE WANTS TO MARRY HIM!!!!! AND, OMG, FITZ AND EVIE ARE GETTING MARRIED, AHHHHHH~~ SO MUCH HAPPY NEWS!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THEM!!!!!! (it seems like 90% of my comment is going to be me spazzing in caps HAHA) And, omg, I hope Stephan was able to properly propose to Franziska in a romantic and special way, haha, even though she would've already known it was going to happen. XD And I think it's so awesome that Franziska ended up in activism, similar to Rosa. ^^ She would've been great as a Muggle Liaison, but I definitely see her fighting for equal rights for Squibs and Creatures since she's always been such a compassionate girl. ^^ And I totally see her living in a non-magical community, especially since it would be easier for her to meet up with Rosa. :) And, omg, you fit in those canon references to the Sorcerer's Stone so well!! :D We all know that the Golden Trio is more than just a little quirky though, HAHA. :') It's so cool that sweet little Franziska has grown up to be a very capable, passionate young woman and she definitely perfectly embodies what it means to be a Hufflepuff with her hard work and kind heart. :)

Gahhh, the World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament!! :D You are fitting in canon events so so so well, and DUH, Rajani was Percy's predecessor as Crouch's assistant, HAHA. XD It's so cool that she's gradually moving up into the International Confederation, since she's been wanting to do that for so long and I'm so proud of her for getting one step closer to her dream!! ^^ And it's very cool that Clary is so much more confident now as an Auror and I can totally see her slinging insults at the recruits. XD BUT OMG, CLARY AND KINGSLEY???????? LEGIT WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT PAIRING AT ALL!!!! Clary definitely has a type, LOOOOOL. XD And it makes sense that they'd get closer since they're both Aurors, hehe. BUT ALSO, WHAT???? ALASDAIR AND NIA??????? ALL OF THESE UNEXPECTED SLYTHERIN ROMANCES, OMG. I'M SHOOK. When and how did they get close???????? :O And, omg, of course Rajani is with another older man. XD And she still loves to openly flirt, just like the good ole days. :') Even though she and Ed don't end up together, I'm glad they're still super close friends which makes me just as happy. ^^ (i wonder how lenox is doing though :O hopefully he's happy with someone else and completely over rajani by now LOOOOL) And I'm glad Eugene is finally at a point where he's able to see other women and let his life progress forward, since Queenie would've wanted that. :) And Rajani isn't illogical for talking to Queenie and I think she's listening to Rajani's words from wherever she is. ^^ Legit, Rajani is what every Slytherin should aspire to be like and I know she's going to eventually reach the top. :)

Awww, that's so sweet that Myr is still working at the bookshop!! ^^ He's such a wholesome boy and this peaceful life does fit him, hehe. :) And I love the cameo from Padma Patil!! :D She barely showed up in the main series, since she was in Ravenclaw and didn't cross paths with the Golden Trio that much, so it's cool to see her working with Myr here!! ^^ And awwwww, it's so cute that Percy visits Myr!! x] But, yikes, this is after the Triwizard Tournament, so things are going to get really bad for Percy soon. >___> Hopefully he finds some solace in Myr's company after he becomes estranged from his family, since it's not going to be easy to push forward when it feels like the whole world is against you. OTL And, omg, YAAAAAY, MYR IS BECOMING A STORE OWNER!! At such a young age too!! :D And Holly is still as passionate and energetic as ever, HAHA. I LOVE IT!! XD And Myr broke up with Amanda?????? :O Granted, she was his first girlfriend and it's relatively uncommon for people to end up with their first love. OTL I wonder why they broke up though. >___< I guess they weren't able to do long-distance?? I know an obstacle they faced was that they didn't have time for each other, so maybe Amanda got too busy once she had NEWTs to prepare for?? Anyway, hopefully the split was amicable and I know they'll find better partners for themselves later on. :) And, omg, OF COURSE Myr doesn't know his new crush's name, HAHA. :') And I can totally see him getting together with a Muggle who knows about magic, since I think he still misses some parts of Muggle life, especially since his mom and sister are basically honorary witches at this point. :P AND OMG, CADI IS PREGNANT????? YAAASSSS, MYR WILL GET A LITTLE NIECE TO SPOIL, HEHE. x] And Tori sounds like an absolute dear and I bet she's the cutest lil bean. ^^ Even though Myr is the only single one of the four, it's sweet that he still has Owen to keep him company and it's totally okay that Myr isn't in a relationship right now. ^^ Everyone goes at their own pace and even though Myr has always been a bit of a late bloomer, he's still just as successful as everyone else. :)

YESSSSSS, Jerome meeting up with Ana makes me so happy, and it's awesome that he and Finnigan are still together!! ^^ Finnigan is so much more chill and open now, which is cool to see and I'm glad that being with Jerome has had such a positive impact on him!! :D Also, Jerome is totally me and I would definitely freak out in the best way possible if I saw alpacas, HAHA. XD AND OMG, JEROME WAS ANA'S MAID OF HONOR??????? THAT'S AMAZING!!!!!!! I LOVE HOW PROGRESSIVE ANA IS, even if she's not necessarily trying to be progressive, LOOOOL. AND JEROME IS A RIOT. YESSSS, BREAK THOSE GENDER NORMS WITH YOUR DRESS, HAHA. Honestly, there was no one better for the position than him and I'm so happy that their friendship is still so strong after so many years. :') And it's so great that Shaun and Aidan made it to the wedding too (but it that there's still prejudice against Muggleborns ;~; I hope they didn't hear any of the mean comments from those Pureblood snobs =/). And it's so cool that prim, proper Ana is living in the wilderness, under the stars, and I love how open she's also become over the years. ^^ And, wow, that was such a moment of vulnerability for Finnigan and I'm glad we still got to learn stuff about him in the end. :) It definitely recontextualizes a lot of his behavior during school, since it couldn't have been easy growing up as a homeless kid. :( That makes me even more happy that he and Jerome found each other, because I feel like Finnigan would have grown up to be a very lonely adult otherwise. AND OMG, NIA IS PREGNANT?? GAH, SO MANY FAMILIES STARTING AND IT'S CRAZY TO THINK THAT THESE KIDS ARE NOW FULL-GROWN ADULTS, AHHHHH. And I think Ana and Alec will have a lovely family with Jerome and Finnigan to dote on the kids, and I hope Jerome and Finnigan can start a family of their own later down the road. ^^ Ana is such a sweetheart and to see her develop from an anti-social, stuck-up child to this wonderfully open-minded, compassionate woman is amazing and I'm so happy that she's content with life. :)

Chapter 65: omg the title saying "end of seventh year" Q____Q
i'm not ready for this to end

It's pretty cool to finally get a glimpse into what NEWTs are like, since we never got that in the original series. :') I love your interpretation of what they're probably like, especially through the eyes of the number one student of this year. XD Ana, bless her heart, makes NEWTs seem almost bearable, in spite of their name. :P And I wasn't expecting Clary to ask Ana to send a message to Amelia. :O I guess they used to be friends?? When they were children?? And the divide between Slytherin and the other houses caused them to drift?? That's pretty sad if that's the case. =/ But at least Clary did try a bit, in the end, to show Amelia that she still somewhat cares. >___< And, omg, I hope Aidan didn't have three exams on Wednesday. O___O Thank goodness he's finally graduating, since he won't have to be studying 24/7 anymore and he'll finally be able to sleep like a normal person again. OTL And AHHHH, it's so cute how Ana is reminiscing Alec proposing to her right before her DADA practical and I love love love whenever her wolf Patronus appears!! x] She is so ready to be an adult and I am LIVING for it, because I know she has an amazing future ahead of her!! ^^

And, ooh, is Holly dating an older Muggle now?? :O Did she break up with Emery?? Since, IIRC (but i could be wrong LOL), he was younger than her and a Hogwarts student?? And since she used the word, "university," that seems to imply that her boyfriend is a Muggle, since I don't think there are wizarding universities?? (but, again, i could be wrong LOL so pls correct me if i am!! ^^;) But yeah, it's pretty cool that Remi has chilled out a bunch. ^^ I've definitely liked him a lot more these past few chapters than I have for most of the story. :P And I love these little lake parties, since they're always so much fun!! :D I also think it's super cool that Dumbledore asks the current Head Boy and Head Girl for their input on their potential successors, since it would be hard for Dumbledore to keep track of EVERY student and their qualifications, amidst all of his other duties. And, awwww, that's so sweet of Myr to invite Rajani to the lake party. :') It makes me wish that the Slytherins weren't so cut off from the rest of the school, because that would've been so awesome if their entire year had partied together one last time before leaving Hogwarts. >___< And, omg, of course Evera and Drake wanna jump into the lake from their brooms, HAHA. Never change, my children. :') And I love seeing how much Myr has grown to love Hogwarts, especially compared to how scared and uncertain he was about the whole "being a wizard" situation. He's really matured into such a dependable, courageous young man and I'm going to miss him so much. T^T

It's kind of sad that Rajani's parents didn't come to either of their daughters' graduation... =/ It's a pretty big deal, but I guess, for them, it's not an achievement; it's a given, so there's no need to celebrate it. >___> (sigh, that tiger parent mindset OTL) And I'm really happy that Eugene is feeling better. :) Seventh year was a tough one for him, but he made it. And I think it's so sweet that he's living out Queenie's dream for her. :') I hope he manages to do all of the amazing things that Queenie dreamt of doing for the wizarding world. ^^ And I think it's awesome that he and Rajani will be rooming together. :D In that way, they'll be able to support each other whenever the waves of grief return as they also learn to adjust to adulthood and working in the Ministry. AND YAAAAAY SWEET, SASSY ED IS BACK!! I'M SO HAPPY HE CAME!! (even tho it's partially bc of leona LOOOL but details schmetails~~) Even though it sounds like he's moved on from Rajani and she hasn't been thinking at all about romance this past year because of everything going on, I'm still going to hold onto the small sliver of hope that maybe they'll come back together in the future. :') Regardless, I'm so happy that they're still super close and this scene made me smile so much!! ^^ And I loved the inclusion of Kingsley as well. :) Things were probably really difficult for him as well this past year and it couldn't have been easy to come to Hogwarts for their graduation when his sister wouldn't be there with the rest of her class. ;~; But he's a strong guy and we all know he blossoms even more in the future. :') And I think it's super cute that Rajani met Myr's mom. x] I hope she and Myr keep in touch, because their friendship is too precious to lose. And I think Aster would be a great motherly figure in Rajani's life. :) And CONGRATS to Slytherin for a perfect seven-year win streak!! :D

Oh my gosh, Franziska's sadness is spreading to me, especially because I've been in a super nostalgic mood lately for other reasons, LOL. ^^; Legit, missing things is all I do right now. OTL So Franziska being so emotional over never seeing her friends again is definitely getting to me. ;~; And I love how you've integrated a lot of people's future plans into this section, since it's nice to know where they're all headed after they leave the Hogwarts Express. :') It's super cool that Tyler and Lola are so passionate about brooms, and I also hope that he and Kiera last a very long time!! :) Even though they were a low-key couple most of the time, I think they had the healthiest relationship in the entire year and I'm rooting for them to make it work, even though they'll be long-distance!! :D And I'm happy that my three children are hanging out again. :') Jemma and Donaghan are so adorable, but there's also nothing wrong with living in the dorms, Jemma. XD But I also get that she and Donaghan want to spend as much time with each other as they can, especially since they are an end-game couple. :P And YESSSS, I had a feeling that Evie and Fitzwilliam would end up together!! x] That's so so cute and I hope their relationship also lasts a very long time!! :D And, just like that, the Hogwarts Express is back and I think these kids are all ready for their next adventure. :)

gah, i can't believe there's only the epilogue left...
i'll also save my spiel for the very last chapter
but just know that you've done a phenomenal job with hogwarts: a history
and this is one of my favorite stories of all time
and, above all, you are an amazing writer <3

Chapter 64: Awwww, Rajani and Myr doing a school project together of their own volition is super cute and THIS is now my favorite inter-House friendship, even though the story is about to end. :') Just knowing how far they've come, especially this last year, makes this friendship so much more special and I'm really happy that they were paired together. ^^ This friendship is as unconventional as it gets, between a Muggleborn Gryffindor male and a Pureblood Slytherin female (not to mention their ethnic backgrounds and family upbringing), but that's the beauty of it. No matter who you are, where you come from, if you're willing to get to know a person (even if you're kinda forced into the situation at first, LOL), you might find yourself forging a unexpected bond with them. (legit two of my friends who weren't rlly friends before are now super close after a week of vacation together and it makes me so happy when ppl form these unforeseen connections :') life has a funny way of bringing ppl together!!) And that was so considerate of Rajani to compliment Alasdair. ^^ I feel like he's been putting a lot of pressure on himself over the years and with everything that's happening in Alec's life, he probably feels even more pressure to bring home both the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup. Even though he hasn't been the nicest guy in school these last seven years, I gotta cut him some slack, given his situation. >___< And ooh, I wasn't expecting Nia to become a duelist!! Good for her and hopefully she does well in the tournament later on!! :P

Gah, Franziska thinking about never seeing her Hogwarts friends again is also reminding me that the end is nearing. OTL I hope she's making as many memories as she can before graduation. >___< And oops, I always forget that Tyler is on the Quidditch team, since most of the big Hufflepuff Quidditch moments were about Lola. ^^; But, yikes, I feel like I've been forgetting how hostile that Slytherins are to the other Houses, because Rajani is relatively so much nicer than her Housemates are. >___> That insult was definitely unwarranted from Cadfael and I feel bad that Donaghan had to experience that so publicly. =/ And aww, Donaghan still has a soft spot for Rajani, since he didn't even hesitate to defend her. :') I miss that friendship a lot, but I can't really complain since Donaghan is happy with Jemma and the other Hufflepuffs while Rajani is now good friends with Myr. ^^ And just like how it was hilarious that Myr didn't remember Franziska's name, I find it so so so funny that Franziska doesn't know Myr's name. XD And now that I think about it, all of the main four have difficult names to pronounce, HAHA. And I love the little inclusion of our good ole friend Felix Felicis!! x] And, omg, Rita Skeeter and Leona will be a DEADLY combo. The entire world's secrets will be in their hands. OTL NO ONE WILL BE SAFE. NO ONE!! And I definitely agree with Fitzwilliam's observation. Franziska, even though her growth has been the most subtle of the main four, has really become a confident and sociable young woman. :) She was so cute and innocent when she was younger, but now she's truly a mature young adult and I know she's going to do amazing things after graduation. ^^ ALSO, YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS CHARLIEEEEEEE MY BOYYYYYYYYY~~ YOU GET THAT WIN!! YOU DESERVE IT!! And I love love love that it was a callback to Lola's infamous catch back in first year!! :D I miss her. :')

I get where Amelia is coming from, since it could look like Ana is rushing into marriage from an outsider's perspective. Considering how low-key Ana was whenever it came to Alec for the longest time and how young these kids are, I would probably also feel like they're rushing into marriage if I were Amelia. But since this is all about Ana, HECK YEAH IT'S ABOUT TIME SHE AND ALEC COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER FOR LIFE. NOVEMBER 1992 IS WAY TOO FAR. (thank merlin you're writing an epilogue :') bc i think i would cry if we never find out what happens at ana's wedding LOL) And I'm glad we're still getting snippets of Aidan and Ana being friends, even though they're not as close as they used to be. >___< But friends drift and I'm glad that their friendship didn't end up in tatters, at the very least. :') And omg, ahhhhh, it's so awesome that all of the Ravenclaws of their year finally sat together for a meal!! *o* SO WHOLESOME!! I really wouldn't have expected it, considering how anti-social Ana used to be. ^^; I loved their conversation and how Jerome was encouraging Finnigan to open up, which is super sweet of him to do!! x] And wow, I wasn't expecting Finnigan to be so interested in Alchemy and I love how Ana is low-key salty about his private lessons. XD That's the overachieving Ana I know and love. :')

I've gushed enough about Myr and Rajani's friendship, but I just wanna say again that I love their dynamic together and I'm so happy this happened. ^^ This friendship really brings out the best in both of them and we need all of the happy moments we can get before they graduate. :') And awww, it's cute how Percy is embarrassed that he doesn't something and he's trying to hide it. XD Don't worry, kiddo, there's nothing wrong with not knowing Muggle technology, especially considering your upbringing (and there's no telling what arthur thinks a gun is LOOOOOL OTL). And oh man, I completely forgot about Easter break. ^^; I'm happy that Myr finally got a short vacation from Head Boy duties, since he completely deserves it. :) And I totally feel Myr when it comes to being exhausted by change. I'm the type that isn't super open to change and it's been a big learning process over the years to embrace change in my life. Constants are comforting, but I do acknowledge that growth happens the most when you're put in a position that induces change. :) And I'm glad that Myr is feeling better about the situation with his mom and Uncle Cyril. Even though there wasn't much discussion about it, him feeling comfortable and happy in their presence says a lot. ^^

omg it's crazy how there's only one chp of 7th yr left...
i keep thinking there are two bc of the epilogue, but yeah, WOW, they're literally graduating from hogwarts in two weeks...
I'M GONNA CRY AHHHHHH

Chapter 21: Oh no, everyone, stop looking weirdly at Ana and Alasdair. There is nothing wrong with a inter-house friendship ;-; But I'm glad they didn't mind the looks and seated together anyway! yey! But I love how they get more talkative and open with each other. I mean, Ana actually started a conversation, Alas actuallu laughed, and they kiiind of made fun of Snape so. I think that's a big win for them xD
It was really nice of Alas to help Ana with Dracula, even if that caught the attention of her mother and oh man, pureblood mothers... See, even Ana had to make sure her mother was not thinking more than it actually was.
Oooohh maaaan! Ana knows about her mother's school friends! The question now is, is that simply deduction, or Ana actually knows about her mother's past? Anyway, I do feel like Winona will take this opportunity to make new friends, after all, she spent many years after her graduation all the way in Bulgaria, so I guess that most friends she and Alexander had, are still there.
Also, it's cute how Ana is enthusiastic to tell her parents about her academics acomplishments so far. And that her mom is proud of her. I think any child that is going to a different house than the one their parents went feel this. And actually, I haven't thought about it in the beggining, but the fact that a she has a Hag for a grandmother is like, if she had a goblin for grandfather. Does it makes sense? (actually, now I wonder, where are Ana's ACTUALL grandparents??? -insert meme of the shocked groudhog-)
On another note, it's still impressive that she actually is learning dark magic at such young age, and I have my theory that she couldn't see Alasdair because his house probably has protections against those type of stuff. And I laughed at "She insulted my ceiling" I can ALMOST hear a tiny bit of a pout in that xD But the bonding moment between mother and daughter is also pretty cute.

It's nice to see that the holidays are going well for Raj. Even if, again, there is this sad and annoying thing of having to hide friendships with other houses :'( And it's also nice that Raj is keeping in contact with some of her yearmates!
I'm laughing at Vandana implying that Sahana has a secret boyfriend. Pureblood mothers are all the same xD Winona just did something similar with Ana right after meeting Alasdair lol And it's cute that Raj is buying gifts even if she doesn't celebrate christmas. Tho again, I'm amused at how quickly her mother agreed when she got to know it was for a Shacklebolt. But their bonding moment was very wholesome.
Oh man, Raj really seems like she just wants to be close to Sahana :') I don't know what happened to those two, but it's nice to see them discussing quidditch and then Sahana offering to talk with Mayra for Raj. (on another note, I laughed angain at the "Sacrad Twenty Eight name drop" and we learned that Sahana and Mayra are problably good friends, and not only roommates :3)
The christmas cards are really funny lol And omg I'M SO SOFT WITH THE "THAT'S WHAT BIG SISTERS ARE FOR" AAKSNDAJSDJASDH <3 I wish they can get closer, because it really seems that Raj wants that and honestly this is adorable.
On a final note, I'm laughing at Eugene's gift, I can see galleons showering him in a very meme-like way xD Tho I guess Queenie helped it, so I think she's also interested in the "Get Raj as the future captain" plan lol Clary's gift is awesome too hahahahahaha And even Lenox sent a cute present!

Wow if even Peeves is bored, that means that the castle is truly empty (what makes me wonder how Peeves deals with the three months of summer vacations). I hadn't think about it at first, but since Frannie is an ACTUAL international student, I guess it's too far for her to go back just for some weeks.
And wait. DUMBLEDORE summoned a snowstorm INSIDE the great hall??? xD I guess he thinks it's safer a controled snowstorm than letting the kids out in the real cold. And I'm sorry Brandon, the fifth years need to release the stress from the OWLS, that's why they are so ruthless xD hahaha
Oh so we got the kids that stayed over for Christmas! Nabila is another international student too, right? Tho I wonder why Brandon, Finnigan and Fitz stayed as well. And I guess the Slytherins are REALLY closed off if even Frannie noticed it. And I'm amused at quiet Nabila being an unstoppable force of snowball-throwing and Frannie specifically targeting Hunter lol
I'm actually surprised that students from a different house can lounge in the common room of another house. Tho I guess fireplaces are really the best place after a day in the snow. And of course that good girl Frannie will defend people that can't defend themselves. Also, well done Nabila hahahahahaha Brandon deserved that. Btw, they really act like siblings lol
Fitz is a sweetie and I'm glad he seems to be making friends. We all know that his own housemates are... a curious bunch. I hope their friendship can last :3 Omg wait. Football. THEY ARE PLAYING FOOTBALL! WHERE IS ALASDAIR WHEN YOU NEED HIM! XD HAHAHAHAHA Just because of their liking for football I'm sure Frannie and Alas could have a good conversation. Tho unfortunately there is the whole "Slytherin against the world" thing going on, so I'm pretty sure this would end like Raj&Don 2.0.

Oh man, I guess Myr REALLY missed his old life, huh? :') At least he can spend the holidays with his family. Owen is the absolute CUTEST thing <3 I totally agree with Cadi, I would be head over heels for the little ball of fur too!
Uh-oh. It seems there is SOMETHING with that wand. Now that I think of it, Cyril must know that a wand chooses the wizard and all that jazz. There is something fishy about the wand he game Myr -squints- But on another note, it's precious and funny that Cadi is trying to get so much info out of Myr haha
Oh man pt.2 Myr REALLY REALLY missed his home and I guess his feelings of not belonging in the magical world are really strong :'( Aster tho. Such an awesome mom! What an amazing human being! No wonder Myr's dad risqued it all to marry a muggle. Aster was worth it :')
But even Aster made the joke about opposite friends with Myr xD But I find it cute that in an age where most boys are "eewww girls" Myr gets along better with the girls. Also, I feel like Aster is so wise. Suddenly I feel like that is she had the power to do it, she would simply end the house rivalry with logic arguments-
So now, seems that we have Prime Minister Cadi on the future and the Myr could work somehwere in the Ministry of Magic. If Cadi was a witch I'm pretty sure she would run for Minister of Magic xD I also love the subtle mention that Cyril is a messy person because he leaves HIS potion stuff lying around, and I hope Owen can stay out of trouble :') Also, something says to me that Cyril gave Myr a cat because it's the most normal of the pets allowed, so it wouldn't create too much of a trouble for Myr carrying him around. And it would be something safe that he can have with him in Hogwarts that makes him remember of home. I'm problably reading too much into it, but oh well. Glad he seems to go back with new resolutions.

Chapter 20: Oh, I'm happy that Myr finally had a great day! Specially because it seems that things aren't going very well for him. Holly, I know you are trying to help, but I think you are only getting Myr more stressed :')
Them complaining about prefects tho. They still didn't realize that two of them will turn prefects in fifth year, it seems xD
Don't give up on flying yet Myr! You didn't even try! Coach Crowell is really strict, but I guess you need to be when the students can fall and crack their heads open if they are not careful. I laughed at the "You like dragons Charlie". I could her the silent "So your argument is invalid" after it hahaha
Oh nice Myr! You did it! We are off to a good start! And oh, his question about brooms is a really good one! Now I want to know the answer xD hahahaha Ugh, a note, why Drake is so adorable?
Also it's nice how Coach Crowell treats everyone equally. He seems a bit harsh but he actually tries to help. And yey! Myr is flying!! And he seems he's good at it!! Coach even congratulated him! I'm so happy for Myr! It's really nice that he faound something he likes AND that he is good at. I think he was the one suffering the most to adapt to Hogwarts.

It's good that Frannie found a rythm that works for her and I can't help but find funny that "it's okay that she's failing Transfigurations because Henry is as well" xD
It's the Hunter curse, what Hunter said is comming true. Poor Frannie. Oh wait. There is a group study!! Maybe they can help! And i'm going a little bit crazy right now because I think this is the first time that two main characters meet. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder where Finnigan is tho. He's the only one missing from the Ravenclaw boys.
Oh wait, the friend Don is waiting, maybe it's Raj! And I will never stop finding it funny how Cian get's even more grumpy when Don is not around XD hahahahahaha "Mr. Pouts-A-Lot" is indeed a good nickname for Cian xD Also, suddenly I'm wondering if everyone remembers Cian's actuall name, because I'm pretty sure McGonagall had called his real name in the sorting cerimony.
And of course that Cian wouldn't study on his own xD And of course Myr wouldn't let Holly flunk. He needs all the scores he can get :') OH so that's why Holly doesn't like talking about Quidditch of flying that much! I hope she change classes. And really it must because the Lions ARE big show offs xD hahahahaha Even idf they have good intentions.
Good student Frannie practicing more. And there it comes a random Slytherin- OMG IT'S ED ASHDKJASKJD LEONA TREATHNED HIM WITH THEIR OLDER BROTHER I CAN'T XD And of course that leona will talk a mile a minute about someone else. :') But we leraned interesting things about the Gryffindor team, Patrick is the Seeker and Sarah is a prefect! So wait, Sarah and Eric are the fifth years prefects of Ravenclaw, right?
What more did we learn? That Leona is apowerful force to be feared because HECK SHE'S JUST A FIRST YEAR AND SHE ALREADY KNOWS SO MUCH HSKADHKAJDAJSD Legit, if Leona was a Slytherin, she would overthrow Voldemort alone and using ONLY her information network xD We also learned that I will never get tired of Don&Cian relationship and interactions I just love those two so much :')
And it's interesting to see the contrast between Frannie and Myr, because to her everything is awesome (suddenly I heard Aidan-) while for Myr, till this point everything is feeling pretty much overwhelming.

Heck, we had a great start already huh? Ana for sure is mad and annoyed. Also, I find it interesting and amusing how the first mention of wanting to use harmful magic actually didn't come from a Slytherin, but a Ravenclaw. Honestly, I think Ana probably if the most dangerous of the first years, she's just too logical to act on her emotions :')
It's funny that Ana is the first main charater so far that is pretty 'meh' about flying (and quidditch to probably lol) And oh heeeck! Evie was the Raven claw girl! I mean, it's not like there was TOO many options to chose from... xD And I find amusing how disunited the Ravenclaw year seems compared with the other houses. Seriously tho, I can understand why Evie was banned from flying. She comletely ignored everything Coach Crowell said about safety. rip u child
In the paragrph about why Ana loves Holloween so much, I can FEEL all the Wednesday vibes I gave her, and I love it xD Ooh presents! Even Baba Inga sent something! Tho somewhat I was expecting a huge crow to make the deliver instead of a normal owl lol
"Evie hasn't yet figured out that Ana hates her" ouch! "Jerry Boot is marginally more tolerable than Evie, though only just" double ouch! Ana is really not there to make friends
Oh wait, there were people mocking her accent? No wonder she's so guarded! And I wonder who is the Hufflepuff who wished her a happy birthday. Somewhat reading close to the restricted section is very Ana. And wow! Some interactions between lil ravens! Still so awkward tho! Nice gifts tho! ANIMAGUS BOOK HELL YEAH! Okay I will control myself. But I'm also happy she is still talking with Alasdair! They seem to make a good pair! Oh hey Sarah!
I'm happy that finally got the book if she wanted to read about the matter that much. And I also feel happy but bad at the same time for her. Idk if it's just me but I think her enjoying Halloween so much finally shows her side that says "hey, I'm just a twelve-year-old" and at the same time it seems like she really misses her home, back in Bulgaria. I wonder if she will ever go back one day. I kinda wish she can, specially if that's the place she relates the most to. And nice that Eric enjoys Halloween too! And awn, her letter is kinda stiff but since it's her first so far, it weirdly makes me soft.

And there is back! People that like Quidditch! hahahaha It's cute how Nia is always trying to make Elspeth to open up. It's almost like... Don and Cian xD hahahahahahaha And not cool bro, whatever is your name Ravenclaw boy (I'm pretty sure it's some upper year, I don't think any of the first years would say something like that). But I guess the insulthit hard with Nia. Her parents were indeed Death Eaters, right? As well as Elspelth's.
It's cute how the older students yake care of the younger students in Slytherin.
Aaaaand here is where we see Rajani having a cultural shock xD She's so prim and proper but the Slytherins are like, the cheer for a World Cup game! (Alasdair would like my comparisson) To be fair, I think Only Slytherin cheers for Slytherin, so they need to make enough noise to compensate for the other houses.
Idk who T is, but it reminds me of Lee Jordan being called out by McGonagall because he clearly supports Gryffindor xD But T is a fun Announcer I think.
And wow! Raj that was impressive! Eugene is right, if you are already catching up plays like this, you will be an awesome Captain! And I quite like the Captain Rajani Misra idea! :D And see, my theory was correct, only Slytherin celebrates when Slytherin wins, so of course that they need to make a whole lot of noise. And poor Raj, she just wanted to talk with her sister :') It makes sense that Alasdair would be interested in Quidditch. He likes football, right? And Eugene, what are you doing, trying to put Raj and Alas against each other? xD hahaha
I guess that not even Nia can get Elspeth out of her shell sometimes. And idk... it feels kind of wrong that Raj is hidding her friendship with Don? I mean, it looks like she's ashamed and there is nothing to be ashamed. Although Nia is quite agressive on her views, I'm sure not all the first years are like her. Anyway, it's still cute how close the girls got. And I'm laughing at the jab at Eugene. And now I also wonder where the heck Cadfael and Alasdair go. Are they even friends? They were the two that bickered in the first day dinner, weren't they? Oh well, mysteries for the next chapters!

Also, I'm late with the review, sorry :') But in the mean time I checked the sequel and I had some ideas :3

Chapter 63: Fitzwilliam is such a sassy boy nowadays and I love how he's opened up even more after his confession to Franziska. I feel like he was holding himself back quite a bit before and now that the air has finally been cleared on that front, he can fully let go and be himself. :') SUCH GREAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! WE STAN!! :D And yaaaaay, it's been awhile since we've had Hagrid appear and I love how well you write him!! ^^ I can just imagine our big-hearted half-giant friend interacting with these kiddos and now I wish this could be made into a movie series of itself. x] And wait, omg, what happened to Nabila's Erumpent?? :O I remember it being mentioned way back, since she was so happy to own one as a pet, and now I'm sad to hear that she no longer has one. =/ I also love that Franziska and Brandon are talking again, since I've missed them, but it was definitely the right call for them to break up. I think Franziska has matured past him, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. They function much better as friends and this Christmas is proof of that. :) But also, ahhhh, yaaaaay, more Adeline!! *o* And we even get Cassie and Zoe too, yaaaay!! :D Channer definitely would not be engaging in any snowball shenanigans, but this is right up the girls' alley. XD And, omg, yessss, Zoe for sure would betray her team for the LOLZ and the pictures, HAHA. Such a fun Christmas break!! :D I can't believe this is the last one they'll experience at Hogwarts together and now I'm getting emotional. OTL HOW CAN WE LET GO??

Aw man, poor Myr. He's really having a rough seventh year and it's only halfway over. OTL He's going to have to confront the inevitable conversation he has with his mother and Uncle Cyril about their relationship sooner or later, but I suppose that'll be the last thing he ends up resolving, considering he won't be seeing them until graduation since he didn't go home from Christmas. >___< And, omg, I had no idea that Adrian was Penelope's older brother!! What a fun little canon tie-in!! ^^ And Lee Jordan is just the cutest lil bean (now that Oliver has grown up a bit HAHA) and I love how wild he is already. :') A fitting addition to carry out the Weasleys' twins reign of terror at Hogwarts, LOOOOOL. But, man, what a heavy gift from Uncle Cyril, even though Myr has sort of moved on. I think there's still a small part of him that will always be affected by any reminders of his father, even if he tells himself that he doesn't feel anything. >___< And, awww, Melody is such a great sister!! ^^ I love how close she and Amanda are, and she really does fit the role of prefect really well. :) And I think it's hilarious that Myr doesn't remember Franziska's name at all, LOLOLOL. Another reminder that the main four aren't close at all, with the new exception of Rajani and Myr finally working together this year. :P Also, Myr is such a wonderfully mature boy and I wish all boyfriends could be more like him. OTL (IRL, my friends have been dealing with so many immature boys lately and I'm just like WHY ARE BOYS SO DUMB LOL)

Oh no, poor Eugene. ;~; I understand how he feels, even though I personally wouldn't lash out at anyone for moving on more quickly. People mourn at their own pace and some people are better at accepting grief than others are. And, especially since this is very situational, with Eugene's identity being so closely tied to Queenie's for so many years, it's even more difficult for him to let go. :( But Rajani has been coping in her own way and she's also had a lot of other things to deal with, which has probably helped her sort of process her emotions throughout the year. It's a tough situation all-around for them and the holidays tend to magnify emotions even more. :'( But, oooh, I do wonder who'll be casting Patronuses in this year!! :D That's always super fun and I imagine maybe one or two of them will get the hang of the spell by the end of the year, since we've got some very smart kids in this class. ^^ I hope Rajani can do it, but I'm not sure she'll be able to with the cloud of Queenie's death still hanging over her and I don't know which happy memories she would draw from. >___< But maybe something will happen before the year ends?? Who knows?? And now I'm wondering what Sahana's happy memories were. :O And, LOOOOOL, I wasn't expecting Rajani to meet Amanda while on a date with Myr. XD It was such a stiff, formal meeting, HAHA. :') I don't think Rajani needs to worry about Myr saying anything bad about her to Amanda. He's not the type to do that and even though she can come off a bit strong, since she wasn't too thrilled about having to hand-hold him in the process at the beginning, it's not like she's ever been rude or unfair to him, despite their House rivalry. They've got a very amicable relationship and I think I've been enjoying their scenes the most this year so far!! :)

AHHHHHHHHH, THE DEVELOPMENT!!!!!! ANA USED TO BE SO ANNOYED BY ALEC'S SMUG SMILE. NOW SHE LOVES IT. AHHHHHHHHH, PLS HOLD ME BC THIS IS SO SOFT!!!!!!! And it's so cute that Eric still sends Ana presents, since it's been awhile since they've last talked and seen each other. :') Never forget Ana's first friend at Hogwarts!! BUT ALSO, UMMMMMMMMM, I AM SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG~~ THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!! I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS AT ALL!!!!!!!!! THE PROPOSAL WAS SO CUTE OMG THIS IS LEGIT THE BEST THING EVER I AM LIVING YET DYING AT THE SAME TIME BC ANA AND ALEC ARE OFFICIALLY GETTING MARRIED AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ANA???????? NOT ME. AND HER PATRONUS MATCHES HIS, AHHHHHHHHHHHH~~ SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE LEGIT THE BEST COUPLE IN THIS STORY. HANDS-DOWN. SORRY MYR AND AMANDA. SORRY JEMMA AND DONAGHAN. BUT ANA AND ALEC ARE MY OTP FOR LIFEEEEEEEEEE~~ And I really do wonder who Ana's maid of honor will be if it's not Hannah. :O She isn't really close to any other females and it is a very important role to fulfill, especially since their wedding will likely be very traditional. BUT DETAILS DETAILS, THEY'LL FIGURE THEM OUT LATER, HAHA. And, omg, Alasdair is so salty, poor guy. OTL I still think he's had a secret crush on Ana all of these years, which is why he refuses to congratulate her and Alec. >___< BUT HONESTLY, WHO CARES BC ANA AND ALEC ARE LITERALLY THE CUTEST AND I HOPE THEY HAVE A LONG, BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE WITH EACH OTHER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, HEHEHHEHEHEHHEHE~~ x]

Chapter 19: I also think Ravenclaw's commom room is a dream come true Ana hahaha And althought Evie could have been dealt with with more tact, I can understand the grumpiness that comes with your sleep being denied xD And it's just me or Eric might have been intimidated by Ana? Or maybe it's just the usual "Ravenclaw's are not very social" thing too. And wow, less than 24h and Ana is feeling vindictive :') Evie just broke some sort of record hahahahahaha Wow Ana made Amelia smile! Well, kind of. Isn't that also some sort of record? xD
Honestly? I love how Ana suddenly becomes more chatty around Alasdair and how he show reactions, even if small. xD Evie already causing trouble :') how this girl will survive.
Eeeyyy Ana approving of Finnigan! It's always the ones that are harder to befriend tho. First Alasdair, now Finnigan. This would become the anti-social club, if they really become all friends xD JERRY BABY AND HIS WRONG ANSWERS!!! Sis, FITZWILLIAM held down his hand! xD This is serious lol
Ana mapping the castle. Somewhat I feel like this could give her a lot of advantage on the long run. Advantage over what idk.
Awn man, Evie is trying to making friends :') Unfortunately it's Ana. I laughed at the "you sound like a gryffindor" tho xD And the unenthused guy from Hufflepuff... I can only think about Cian xD hahahaha
All in all, seems like Ana's heart still is at Durmstrang :')

Myr being a smart guy and trying to learn the castle's layout as soon as possible. I see why the Hat considered putting him in Ravenclaw for a moment haha And oh, Charlie and Brandon? That's a loud duo hahaha Oh wait! Aidan too??? I honestly didn't thought he would be friends with Brandon either hahaha And I wonder if those three musketeers will be as crazy as Weasley twins and Lee Jordan xD The prank planning already started, it seems!
SO, Myr is the new chess prodigy. But it's also kinda painful to watch the awkward interactions in this period where the kids are still trying to get used to everything and everyone. But at the same time it's endearing to watch some of the more extroverted kids kind of taking others under their wings (yes Holly, I'm talking about you haha) I'm also surprised the lack of reaction from Myr for the fact that one of his teachers is a ghost XD
Dora! Our Tonks has showed up! Yey! And I'm laughing at Kiera's description by Myr. Pretty accurate. ANd omg why Drake is so adorable. Superman! My heart! (Also, highkey loving to see interactions between the two older Weasleys :'3)
And I liked Evera teaching Myr about Quidditch. Even I could understand if I didn't know what it was about. xD And I wonder why Holly fled the flying/Quidditch talk.

So, Raj seems to be integrating well with the other Slytherins. I think it's the first pov in this chapter where everyone already looks comfortable around each other and there is no palpable awkwardness around them. Which is kind of refreshing, I guess.
Professor Whits has a really... unique way of saying "little ones" xD And seems that despite Queenie being the "Teacger's pet", Finn also likes to cause a good impression, and Raj too. Since the three of them sat at the front while the rest of the Slytherins sat in the back.
Oooh Donaghan and Cian! Heck, Cian must be mad at Don now tho hahahahaha And ouch Nia, isn't that atad bit too harsh for the beggining of the first year? You didn't even had time to live with the others yet. And I mean, he's a Hufflepuff! Hufflepuffs would never hurt anyone!
I can hear Snape in my head while reading- And heck, Raj is feeling bad for ignoring Don. Stupid House Rivalry :'( You should be able to make friends with whoever you want. Oh wait. Yey Raj and Don are talking again!
On a final note, heck the Astronomy tower is far away AND super tall if it takes half an hour to get to the top! And I guess Pofessor Sinestra is a night owl, if she oly teaches night classes.

My first thought: poor Frannie. My second thought: Wait. Hunter Vaugnes as in the same one from the prologue?! So Eric is that same Eric too! akhsakdjkasdjasd -mind blow-
Anyway, going on hahahaha Jemma seems like a supportive friend. Honestly everyone in Hufflepuff so far looks like a sweetheart.
Oh man, I bet Snape was super mad at Brandon with the potion incident. And Charlie has all the right to be mad too. But so far, I guess no one has any idea how big Charlie's family really is. Also, seems like Frannie was kind of right, if not for Charlie. And heck, it's super nerd if AIDAN WARD says it's nerdy hahahahahahahahah But Jemma's dad has a super cool job! Maybe he will be Bill's veteran?
Frannie seems do be doing a good job with her homework, I can honeslty picture Don dragging Cian so he will actually interact with people (and the image is hilarious), and oh no, Tyler, don't give that much power to Leona :') Just Kiera to be HAPPY about being caught by tentacles hahaha And seems like Quidditch is still one of the biggest question marks for the muggleborns.
Omg this surprise party, or prank, or both! I'm picturing it super pretty and super fun! I find it funny that Kiera the mud girl doesn't want flowers in her head hahahahaha And poor Cian, this is so out of his comfort zone! xD Leona has the best war cry so far! hahahaha And Lola sure is competitive! I wonder who won the flower war, tho I guess it doesn't really matter, since everyone seems to have had so much fun, and that's the objective! I'm glad everyone seems to have enjoyed it so much! (and I hope Cian is not too much traumatized xD) Let's see what they will plan for their own seventh year!
