She had been feeling bad all morning. Daphne kept having these pains. She had ignored them and finished out her day of teaching. She made her way to Three Broomsticks and took a seat to wait for Charlie. He was being very sweet about picking her up, and Brody usually fed her while she waited. She was not hungry tonight, however ( Read more... )

Blaise felt like whining, and there was only one person he could really go to and whine without worrying that he would try to be soothed. Draco would just make fun of him for it, Blaise would insult him back, and then he'd go home and feel better about the whole thing ( Read more... )

The first week of teaching had gone by smoothly, once the students got it in their heads that Blaise and Daphne weren't Slughorn and were a bit more strict than he had been. They hadn't made anyone above the age of 12 cry, but some of the first and second years started to shake when they saw the Slytherin potions professors ( Read more... )

He was almost nervous. Almost. It was the first class that he and Daphne would be teaching, and to make it much worse, it was seventh year Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Blaise had a very strong hunch that McGonagall had done that just to punish them for their bantering the night before. At least she hadn't implemented the dreaded swear jar. He would ( Read more... )

Blaise slowly sneaked into the sitting room. He was home far later than he thought he would be, and he wasn't sure what kind of reactions he would get. Despite not doing much, he was emotionally exhausted and wanted to do nothing but fall into bed. He had an early morning that had the potential to be a disaster. Blaise wanted to prepare himself ( Read more... )

Daphne Greengrass was excited. She would never admit such a thing, but she felt like a changed person. She was standing with the other professors of Hogwarts awaiting the arrival of the students. She was dressed in brand new green and black robes that Astoria had gotten for her - robes Astoria refused to take no for an answer for. They were very ( Read more... )

I would have given you this this morning, but I had no desire to be hexed. Have fun storming the castle, Professor Zabini, you glutton for punishment.

It had been tough to make his decision. He could only see one group of Stewarts off before he had to go to Hogwarts. James, Sarah, and Mina were leaving for Hogwarts and he was nervous about leaving Sarah with only James and Mina to fend Avery off on the platform and train, but Grace needed him a bit more ( Read more... )

Blaise had the envelope with the key ready in his pocket. Didly had assured him that Kristen was in her bedroom, so he decided to present her with her birthday present while she was home. It seemed she was either out with her friends or at the bakery these days.

He knocked on her door. "Kris? You busy?"

"Come in," she called.

It was a very bad thing indeed to have a twelve year old sister. Especially one who liked Muggle radio. And tended to play her favorite songs on a near-constant loop. Theo had been humming and singing the same song all morning. He was about to take off early and pick up Prue to take her school supply shopping. Molly was getting better. Theo made it ( Read more... )
