Watching all the people around him ending up sad that he was leaving wasn't entirely hadn't been easy to handle at all, how it seemed as though people liked him that much had truly perplexed him. "I know you do. And really what would make it easier for me is just having you here. I'm not entirely sad that I am graduating because it's never actually the end, well of this chapter yes; but what's next is what keeps me from sitting here and moping." Between spending the next year in France and then starting university, it truly was going to be interesting and even though he was never going to see Hogwarts again; he had accepted that. Plus he had taken enough pictures and had sketches of several areas around the school that were going to be perfect memories.

A slight chuckle escaped from his lips at what she had said next, it was rather evident that she was just trying to make him laugh and it worked perfectly considering he felt the slightest bit better than earlier. "I'd rather not get stuck. I'd take graduation over that any time." Sure he would have rather hide out in the broom closet so that he could have spent one last term with her but that wasn't going to happen. "You know that I'm really excited about going to France over the summer, even if I'm still nervous over the fact of having to meet your parents." It made perfect sense to be nervous about that since he hoped that they would like him, it was never a good sign if the girlfriend's parents didn't like you. "By the time you graduate from here, I'll be getting ready to go to university." At least that was in London, he hadn't thought that travel would have been likely again after spending the year traveling around France.
Stella knew she'd failed in hiding how she felt about his graduating, but that was another reason why the snuggles were good. She knew it helped him, and it hid her face rather well so he couldn't feel worse by watching her. And she hugged him again as he'd spoken. "Well I am here," she pointed out. "I won't go anywhere unless Professor Lafay or anyone makes me, either." She really hoped that wouldn't happen, seeing as she was still a little bit afraid of the Potions mistress. "And it's definitely not the end. Is it ever, really?" That distracted her pretty well from continued sadness about the situation, as did the entirely too cheery appearance of the Slytherin prefect further down the table. She still felt hyper-aware of Matt, though, even as she could tell his confusion and discomfort with the emotions surrounding the feast were ebbing a little. At least someone was getting comfort out of it all.

The fact he'd picked up on her trying to make him laugh helped a lot too, even if she'd gone back to snuggles by then. She still felt a lot better. "I think there are probably people thinking about gluing people to their seats or something. I think that would get awfully boring, though. Since people would be stuck here after we all go home for the summer," she mused aloud, even as he'd moved on to talking about the summer, and she pulled back again to look at him in surprise. "My parents will love you. Talia's a good way of knowing that. She loves you, so my parents will too," she said. Of course, not in the way she loved him. That would just be awkward, and besides, her sister had a boyfriend. "And I might be too. Well, WADA. But anyway, you'd still be back in London with me." Not like next term, when they'd be in completely different countries.
