It'll turn out alright in the end, you'll see.

Malena wrinkled her nose and pursed her lips. She had a habit of immediately defending herself after being woken up from nightmares, as she knew her family was on the verge of staging a psychiatric intervention for her. She nodded and sat up, “Right… What time is it?”

“I am not crazy!” Malena insisted to the person who had woken her up from one of her nightmares. Classes were over for the day and she was exhausted, so she flopped down on the couch and took a nap. Unfortunately, she wasn’t blessed with one of her good dreams.

“It was just a dream, okay?” she pinched the bridge of her nose and scowled.

Summer was coming. Literally. It was a day away and Gaston didn’t have any set summer plans. He was so busy with the rugby finals and talking to an army recruiter, Canadian of course, that he completely lost track of the days. He did have the option of staying at the school and taking some summer classes but who would buy that Gaston Pelletier wanted to stay at school all summer and study? No one. That’s who. 

So, he decided to seek out where and when the most interesting summer plans would be. “Whoa! Hey!” He stopped someone as they walked by. “Were you aware that tomorrow is the first official day of summer?”

“As a matter of fact, I hadn’t heard. Maybe you should be a dear and make sure everyone gets the memo.” Madeline wasn’t normally so sarky, but she had been feeling rather stressed recently. She was behind on almost all of her classes, and her grades were slipping. It was obvious to her that she was hugely in debt to Mr LeSauvage, and the least she could do regarding his generous payment of her school fees was to not fail her classes. 

“If you were asking because you think I’d be able to direct you to the best party, you’re certainly talking to the wrong girl.” With the exception of being forced to go Adam’s birthday parties in the past, Madeline had never been to a real party in her life. 

Hercules rolled his eyes as he heard another rich student shout at him about how someone like him didn’t belong at Ilvermorny. it was lunchtime and he was headed over to the table that everyone knew was reserved for the ‘common folk’ or whatnot. He sat down with his packed lunch and shook his head, “Can you believe how stuck up they are?”

Potions specialization  

FC: Antonia Thomas

Madeline has always taken it upon herself to keep her friends together, happy and safe. She imagines this is because of how she grew up on the LeSauvage estate, the place being mostly dark and empty unless there was some party. It was hard not to feel scared, alone and stifled in that place but through her strength of will and optimism she managed to pull through just fine. When she was accepted into Ilvermorny, her world became brighter and she was able to put her energy into her school work and not being happy while cleaning a mansion.

She’s been thinking about her life lately and her role as mom friend and has decide that she doesn’t want to be that girl anymore. She wants to break free from responsibility but she keeps falling back into it. If that were her biggest problem in her life she’d be doing okay, the thing is, it isn’t. Her mother is sick, really sick and she’s been told to keep it a secret from her little brother. It feels wrong to her to keep it a secret but she trusts her mother, there has to be a good reason for keeping it a secret, right?
