Leobald skidded to halt just outside the Great Hall panting heavily and pulse beating. Peeking inside as he tried to calm his breath. It wouldn’t do to look frazzled and out of breath in front of the students. When his pulse returned to normal, Leo fixed his robes and entered the hall. He passed by the snakes table spotting Cece in deep conversation with Sierra Greingoth about something or other. He flashed Cece a smile and wave even though Leo doubted that she saw it.

Heading up to the staff dais he saw that quite a few people were there already including the Headmaster who had received some sort of. Waving at each and every one of them Leo greeted warmly "Good evening Headmaster Tate, William, Callie, Medea, Oliver and Sophia! How is everyone doing, glad that the school year is over?"

Going over to his empty seat a ways way down from the headmaster, he slipped into his seat wondering where everyone had gotten to like Dash, Gemma, Isabelle, Hecate, Seren and Waylon. The whole right flank was empty except for Leo and Tate.
