Re: New School Year, Fast Asleep (open)
Still confused over the incomprehensible whirlwind of events that caused him to be unceremoniously chased out from his compartment, Kyle wandered down the corridor like a lost puppy, looking for another compartment that had enough space to accommodate him temporarily. Earlier that day he had thought...

Re: Come fly away (OPEN)
Right after Kyle asked Riley not to downplay herself, she did it again. “You’re a great Keeper, and that’s what matters most of all,” he said, trying to sound as encouraging as possible. “Nobody can be fantastic at everything. I’ll make for a bad Keeper or Seeker, but that doesn’t bother me as long ...

Re: Come fly away (OPEN)
Kyle’s unannounced appearance made Riley jump a little, and he quickly apologised for the unexpected intrusion. “Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you.” He was prone to losing himself in his own thoughts during his solo practice sessions, and it was probably the same case for Riley. As the Keeper downpl...

Re: Come fly away (OPEN)
Broom in hand, Kyle finished the last leg of his warm-up run and arrived at the Quidditch pitch. He wasn’t too fond of doing laps on a cold day, but he didn’t want to make a habit out of skipping a training session just because of the weather. Besides, cold and dismal days like this were perfect for...

Re: Asking a favour
Indeed, the ruckus that Kyle had made was loud enough to jolt Trent from his slumber, and without thinking he blurted out something about whether Trent really found Potions so boring. He immediately regretted his clumsy attempt to defuse what might not even have been an awkward situation, but Trent ...

Re: Face Your Fears (Boggart Event)
As his saviour began to drag him away from the fire, Kyle followed as best as he could in his half-dazed state, stumbling along on his wobbly legs. So addled was he that he didn’t even notice the stretcher floating behind them. All he cared about now was to escape from the source of his terror. Left...

Re: Asking a favour
After a long week of school, the weekends were a good opportunity for Kyle to rest and recharge… … if he actually had any time to himself to begin with. Needless to say, as a Seventh-Year his school workload had become even heavier than before. Last year, the intensity of his N.E.W.T.-level classes ...

Re: DADA Class - Integumentum Shield Charm - All Years
Kyle’s ears perked up immediately when Trent mentioned that Professor Forrester had talked about a shield charm that he had helped develop; as an aspiring Auror, that was of great interest to Kyle. As he was getting his writing materials out, Trent nudged him, and he looked up to see that Trent had ...

Re: Happy Birthday or whatever.
Maybe the internet café hadn’t been a good idea after all. “It’s definitely not in Hogsmeade,” Kyle shook his head, realising that it was a pretty dumb idea after all. “We’d either have to spin an excuse to go to a Muggle town or city, or wait till the next school holidays.” After abruptly blurting ...

Re: Face Your Fears (Boggart Event)
With each passing moment Kyle was growing dizzier and weaker. Was it his fear, or the heat and the smoke? He didn’t know, nor could he afford to care. Willing himself to focus, he tried to steady his hands to recast the spell, but his hands were shaking and his voice didn’t work. He collapsed on the...

Re: A New Broomstick Stunt
Kyle was still half-convinced when Quinn said that the wolf wasn’t dangerous, even though the facts did speak for themselves. There hadn’t been any wolf attacks as far as he knew. “I suppose we’ll be safe as long as we don’t bother or provoke the wolf,” he said, although it seemed that he was trying...

Re: DADA Class - Integumentum Shield Charm - All Years
Abruptly the door of the classroom opened, and an unusually frazzled Kyle stood leaning against the door frame as he tried to catch his breath. In one hand he held his prosthesis – which was curiously bent out of shape – and in the other he had a wooden cane. “I’m sorry for being late, Professor,” h...

Re: Divination 101: Lesson 3
The sky was grey and depressing as Kyle ascended the Divination tower to the classroom at the very top. It had been a pretty rough week for him: his classes were much more challenging and intense than he had anticipated, and he found himself struggling to keep up. And two days ago during Quidditch p...

Face Your Fears (Boggart Event) [Closed]
[Reserved for Dorian Innes] It had been quite a while since Kyle went for a run at the Great Lake. He had woken up later than usual this morning, and quite a number of people were already up and about by the time he commenced his run. Seeing how his usual route around the castle was now a little to...

Re: Ambition vs. Reality

Re: A New Broomstick Stunt
Kyle’s confusion turned into concern as Quinn revealed that she had once spotted the wolf in the Quidditch stands. A wolf, on the castle grounds itself? That seemed quite unbelievable: most animals that resided in the Forbidden Forest tended to keep to the forest and rarely ventured out. Still, he h...

Re: A New Broomstick Stunt
Kyle gave a sheepish smile when Quinn mentioned that few liked to get up as early as her. He was an early riser as well, and he would usually go for a run around the castle before starting his day. However, the key difference between Quinn and him was that he didn’t like getting up early. In fact, t...

Re: Ambition vs. Reality
There was actually a rather dumb reason why Kyle’s sessions with his psychotherapist had been terminated: the sessions were meant to help him come to terms with his amputation, and not the loss of his friend or his family problems. Despite his psychotherapist’s efforts, once it was deemed that he wa...

Armed with this new knowledge, he recalled the dreams that he had been having recently, including the lucid dream that he had written about in his assignment. His ...

Re: Ambition vs. Reality
Not one to sugarcoat his words, Professor Forrester rightly pointed out that Kyle was below average when it came to the theoretical aspects of the DADA classes, although he was a bit better in the practical aspects. Kyle was bracing himself for more criticisms of his classwork, but the professor ins...

[Reserved for Ethan Forrester] With a soft pop, Kyle materialised in the middle of Hogsmeade. Quickly he gave himself a once-over just to make sure he had arrived in one piece.

Imperfect
This is the first of a series of vignettes about Kyle. He has a rather complicated backstory, and I thought it’ll be good to flesh out his story a bit more. This is also a chance for me to explore different aspects of him as a character, so the vignettes might seem a bit raw and unpolished at times...

Re: Divination 101: Lesson 2
Kyle was not quite looking forward to the second Divination class of the school year. The previous class had been a mixed bag: he had a good impression of Professor Lockwood, and the way the class was to be graded seemed fair. On the flip side, he had absolutely no idea how to calm down and clear hi...
