“All people have three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they are, and that which they think they are.” ― Alphonse Karr With her hair in a messy bun, eggs on the stove, and a cup of coffee in her hand, Jessica found herself standing near the windowsill and staring at the numerous passersby on the road. It was nothing new of course, for that was her routine. Each morning found Jessica looking outside of her window and observing people. Sounds creepy right?

“Fly With Me” by Muskaan Aggarwal

Every pair of eyes in the room stood boring holes in her head, every pair but one. Draco Malfoy stood leaning against the bulletin board, admiring his nail beds. “He probably gets them done every other week”, mused Hermione, momentarily distracted from the task in front of her.  “Take a picture, Granger.
