The quietness was probably the worst part about getting here so early. It gave her too much opportunity to think about how she wouldn't be here next September, how this was likely her last night ever in the Great Hall, her last night to be in the place she had called her second home for seven years now...
Why did she have to say good-bye to it all?
Fortunately her thoughts were halted when someone started to speak beside her. Vashti turned and had to blink to get rid of her suddenly blurry vision in order to see who was speaking.
Oh. Alyssa.
"Thanks, Alyssa," she said, somehow managing a smile. "And I'll miss you too." Especially on the Quidditch pitch. She was definitely going to miss seeing her and the other Beaters hit those bludgers around... But...oh no, was Alyssa tearing up already? "Hey, don't..." Vashti began softly, starting to reach out her hand to hug her or something, but stopped when Ellie suddenly appeared.
She seemed...awfully happy. Or at least not as sad as Vashti and Alyssa seemed to be. "Hey Ellie." The Head Girl might've said more, but something on Ellie's hand - left hand - caught her eye. Was... Was that...
It took Alyssa speaking again and mentioning the word "engagement" for her mind to fully process the thought, though her eyes flitted to the Hufflepuff table briefly before she turned back to Ellie. "That's... Is that an engagement ring?"
