After the death of his mother near the end of his 7th grade summer, Gordie Lachance and his father have decided to move to New York City. There, he is enrolled in the preppy, sports-oriented part-boarding school for boys, Huntington Prep. Gordie is convinced that after meeting two new people on his first day, his luck might be taking a turn for the better. However, when his notebook, including possible feelings for Chris back home, is stolen, and his secrets are being threatened to be leaked to the public, Gordie needs to figure both himself, his family, and the mystery blackmailer out--before he is outed.
Scarlett Nyx didn't think life could get any better, or worse, for that matter. For eleven years she was trapped in her house by her unloving parents who felt she was worthless compared to her four other perfect siblings. After she convinces them to send her to Hogwarts, life changes dramatically. She makes new friends, breaks the first month detention record, becomes Draco Malfoy's new target for the year, befriends the Boy Who Lived, and travels into an unfound Chamber underneath the school. Things will be different this year.
