The year is 1997, and an order has gone out from the Ministry of Magic that all students between the ages of eleven and seventeen who were formerly taught at home must now present themselves for attendance at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 

Howard Sutton, the seventeen-year-old son of sheep crofters on the Isle of Skye, who formerly received his magical education at home, arrives at Hogwarts at the beginning of what will be the calamitous school year of 1997-1998.  The Sorting Hat says, "It's not a matter of which House you need, but of which House needs you."  What can a crofter do for Hogwarts?

Catherine Xavier-Lehnsherr thought that she was a rather mature, sensible girl. She never argued with her parents over her curfew. She saved up her birthday money to buy herself a gaming laptop. She even didn’t get goaded into a fight by William Stryker, Westchester Prep’s biggest asshole, when he said that girls were stupid.

 

And then she developed a crush on the wrong person: one of her best friends.
