Sam’s cheeks flushed, a mix of being touched and embarrassed that Kyle had noticed. It was exactly what she’d wanted—to play off a blush and have him think she was simply cold—but now she felt caught in a lie. She shook her head and forced a small smile. “Thanks, but I’m okay,” she said. Still, the ...

Between Sam’s heavy workload and the growing list of extracurriculars she was already juggling, finding time for herself had become increasingly difficult. Still, Henry’s enthusiasm about the club made her wonder if adding another commitment might be worth it. While she could explore the Forbidden F...

Sam hadn’t planned on stopping in the courtyard. She had only been passing through on her way back from the greenhouses, the crisp autumn air a welcome change after the warmth of the glass-enclosed space. The scent of damp earth and fallen leaves filled the air, while the steady trickle of the fount...

The faint scent of antiseptic hung in the air as Sam approached the hospital wing, a heavy sense of dread settling in her stomach. It felt like an eternity since she had last seen Kyle, and the rumors swirling around his incident at the Great Lake were impossible to ignore. A Boggart, a massive fire...

As one of her favourite classes, Sam was always punctual for Herbology, but lately, her early arrivals had been a strategic choice rather than a habit. Although she normally excelled at Herbology - earning an "O" on her O.W.L. the previous year - the recent combination of the sixth- and se...

Sam hesitated, contemplating the compelling points Kyle made in favour of a candy spree, but also grappling with her own feelings of embarrassment due to her lack of gold and her reluctance to appear greedy. But with Riley now on board with the idea - offering to return the favour in Butterbeer - th...

While she was looking for the others, Sam spotted three other girls that looked to be her age. She offered each of them a smile, but did not approach. She had gotten caught up in the excitement, but now that she was in the Alley, Sam was hesitant… and if she was being honest, a little shy. She wante...

Ever since her acceptance letter had arrived in early August, Sam had been eager to shop for her school supplies. In Diagon Alley, in the upstairs flat that she lived in with her mother, Sam had taken to sitting in the window seat. From there, she had a decent view of the alley, and could watch as s...

Dear Kyle, I heard about the Boggart!! Are you okay? Is it true that you banished it all by yourself? If so, that is so cool! I'm not surprised. ♥ I stopped by the Hospital Wing before class this morning, but they wouldn't let me in to see you because you were asleep. Did you get the cauldron cakes ...

The trolley witch had been shaking her head in response to Sam's question about the price of the Honeydukes chocolate when Kyle called out that it was his treat. Flattered that he would be so kind to her, she smiled and blushed, grateful that he could not see her face. Then, as her low self-esteem c...

Sam felt pleased that Kyle would be in class with her for the first time, considering he was a year above. She wasn't entirely sure why – she barely knew him - but reasoned that she was a little apprehensive about taking a subject in which she knew nothing, and it wouldn't hurt to have a friendly fa...

While the rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor still existed, it was nowhere near as bad as it had been in the past. Nevertheless, there were still a few students who held onto the old grudge, and Sam was always prepared to face hostility from Slytherins that she did not know. These two, however...

Sam was running late. Or, more accurately, her mother was. It was the first of September, and the Hogwarts Express would be departing from King's Cross station in less than an hour's time. Sam checked her watch again, something she had been doing every five minutes for the last two hours while she p...
