Disclaimer: Let's start this again…I don't own anything!

Well, people have been asking for a sequel, and here it is! Just a little warning though, the updates aren't going to be as quick as last time. It's crunch time at university and I need to concentrate on the assignments and finals.

Ghosts of the Past – Harvard

Harvard. She'd wanted to go to Harvard since before she could remember, and now that she was there, she could hardly believe it. Samantha Proctor was your average eighteen year old college freshman. She was young, intelligent, and very excited. Her very first day at Harvard was coming to an end and she was sitting under a tree reading a book and reflecting on her day.

It had gone well. The classes were intense but Sam enjoyed them nonetheless. The best part was that she was there with her friends and her boyfriend. The Sons of Ipswich were no longer in Ipswich, but they were brothers all the same. They'd all wanted to go to Harvard and were all happy when they got accepted. It was Sarah's dream to go to Harvard and Kate would have been happy anywhere, as long as she had Pogue and her friends.

Yes, Sam Proctor was your average eighteen year old girl – with one minor exception. Sam was a witch. She'd been expelled from her home by her mother for being one, along with her brother Matt. After an explosive battle ending in her brother's death, Sam took in her youngest brother Andy and brought him to Spencer with her since he, too, had powers. That's where he was now, back in Ipswich enjoying his second year at Spencer Academy.

Sam was brought out of her thoughts and looked up from her book when she smelled the strong aroma of coffee. She smiled when she looked up to see Reid standing in front of her holding a Starbucks in his hand for her.

"Hey nerd," he said as he sat down beside her and handed her the coffee. "How was your first day?" Sam took it and drank a few sips.

"I love my classes," she stated. "How about yours?" Reid shrugged.

"They were ok. See, that's why you're the nerd. You actually like going to class." Reid grabbed the book she had been reading and closed it. "You can't possibly be behind already."

Sam was in for a few years of a lot of reading. She wanted to be a journalist and was in a completely different program than her boyfriend, who was in the law program to be a lawyer. Sam thought it was funny, since Reid spent most of his time trying to break the rules, not uphold them.

"Do you want to grab something to eat?" Reid asked. Sam knew he was hungry if he was asking, so she put her book away in her bag and got up. She looked at her cell phone for the time. 4:25pm.

"Don't we have to go meet the guys?" She asked and looked down to Reid who was still sitting on the floor. He groaned as he got up.

"Can't a guy get some alone time with his girlfriend?" Sam laughed as he put his arm around her and they started walking. All of them had planned to meet up after classes that day at Sam's, and Tyler and Sarah were the last ones to get out of class. They both had taken the same English elective and got out at 4:30.

While the others all lived in the dorms, Sam got a small apartment for herself near campus. Her friends all had somewhere to go when the school year was over and Sam just wanted to avoid any unnecessary stress. On top of that, Andy needed a place to go when summer holidays started for Spencer too. It was a small one bedroom apartment (with a pull out couch for Andy when he came over) with all the necessities and Sam loved it. It was in a good neighborhood and was quiet, which was something she needed sometimes.

By the time Sam and Reid had reached her apartment, Caleb, Kate, and Pogue were all waiting in front of the building. Pogue was holding a large paper bag filled with drinks and junk food.

"Are you going to let us in or what?" Caleb called as the two of them approached.

"Don't rush me!" Sam said as she intentionally slowed down. She fished her keys out of her bag and unlocked the door to the building. They all walked up the stairs to the third floor, where Sam's apartment was, and she opened the door for them.

"Harvard. Can you believe it?" Pogue said as he put the bag down on the counter and sat down next to Kate on the couch. Sam emptied the contents of the bag onto the counter: four different bags of chips, chocolate ice cream, a 24 pack of canned soda, and bag of M&M's. Caleb grabbed the bag of M&M's from Sam's hand and ripped it open.

"Those are mine," he said as he popped a handful into his mouth. Just then they all heard a buzzing sound. Reid walked over to the little speaker on the wall near the door and pressed the 'talk' button.

"Ya?" he called, then put his finger on the 'listen' button. Tyler's voice could be heard from the speaker.

"Let us in!" Reid hit the 'door' button and held it there for a few seconds until he was sure that Tyler and Sarah had gotten in the building. He unlocked the door and left it open for them.

The seven of them stayed in Sam's apartment until almost 9pm swapping stories about their first day at Harvard and talking about their professors and schedules. It was nice to just relax with friends, but Sam was getting tired, and there was another day of school tomorrow, starting at 8 30 for her. Soon it was only Sam and Reid left in the apartment.

"Finally," Reid said as he sat down on the couch and pulled Sam down with him.
