To the point she wondered if he'd even come back for this term, although she'd occasionally seen Jade around. She hadn't ever really talked to his girlfriend, though, so the Gryffindor hardly counted unless she'd decided to talk to her just because it was the end-of-term feast. There wer others she could find first, in any case, but it seemed like at least a couple had found her before she could find them.
Turning to give Vickers a smile, she responded to his greeting. She definitely counted him among her friends, even if they hadn't really talked much this term. "Hi Vickers," she replied, giving his pensive smile a curious look. "Of course. I mean, I'll miss being here next autumn, but there's not much I can do about that." It almost seemed like he was more upset over term being over than she was, even if she knew she'd miss everyone here. "What about you? Are you ready to go?," she added, truly curious even if she didn't know if he'd open up to her.
Of course, that question had to wait to be answered as suddenly Alyssa appeared behind them, and she turned even more to greet the younger Hufflepuff. In fact, she pretty much turned around on the bench completely, just because at this point it seemed like it would be easier to respond to people if her body wasn't facing the table. The feast hadn't actually appeared quite yet anyhow. "Hi Alyssa. I can't say I've seen Louisa yet, but I'm sure she'll appear eventually." she greeted the Puff, taking a moment to remember what had happened last term at the Slytherin table. When she'd witnessed both Alyssa and Adeline saying tearful goodbyes to Matt, and it appeared there was a risk of that being repeated again this term. So far minus the hugs, but either way she was flattered that she merited people being upset that she was leaving. She wasn't about to act upset herself and make anything worse.
Alyssa turned around to look for Louisa when the older Ravenclaw mentioned her name. "
Yeah, I haven't seen Louisa either but I'm sure that she'll show up eventually after she's done with her Prefect duties." Turning back to Stella, she asked.
"
So once you leave Hogwarts, what are your plans for the future? I bet you can't wait to get back home." Alyssa asked belatedly realizing that she had just the similar question to Keefer. '
I bet they must be tired of being asked that again.'
"
Ooops!!...I'm sorry. I know that you've been asked that same question over and over again and must be tired to giving the same answer, so let me rephrase that question."
Alyssa thought for awhile before raising her other question. "Erm....have you any thoughts of coming back to teach here in Hogwarts? You're an amazing and smart student. I would love to have you as my teacher." Alyssa nodded with a smile.
SPOILER!!: Louisa

Huge failure on that last part..
Spotting Vickers first, with Stella to his side, she headed that direction. Might as well start the goodbye parade. Blowing her nose into the tissue one last time and then using her sleeve for the wet eyes, Louisa plopped down next to the two Ravenclaws, "Hi," she greeted with a forced wet smile. She looked at the graduating girl and tried to say something about leaving and stuff, but she choked and quickly pretended to be interested in the cup of water instead.
Then Alyssa came to the rescue... kind of... Louisa gulped down the glass of water before staring up at the younger Huffie. "I'm not leaving. I'm a sixth year, Alyssa." At least Louisa managed to talk. She looked over at Stella again and cleared her throat, "Happy graduation, Stella." There, she said it without bursting out in tears! However, Louisa did grab the glass of water again after that.
If water was going to be her distraction, she needed the loo to be right in the Hall with them.
*GULPGULPGULPwater*
Alyssa smiled when she saw Louisa...but then frowned. It looked like Louisa was about to start crying too. '
No...oh...No...if she starts crying...I'm definitely to start too. Change the subject, Alyssa....change the subject.' Alyssa thought to herself.
Putting on a big smile, Alyssa waved at Louisa. "
Hi Louisa...I'm here to say goodbye to y....Wait you're not leaving? Why did I think that you would be graduating too? Oh man...I so glad to know that I won't have to say goodbye to you yet." Alyssa started smiling. She would still have two of her Ravenclaw friends coming back next year. Louisa and Vickers. Alyssa started feeling a little better....before she realized who the other Ravenclaw that was leaving.
Ellie Stone. The Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain. Treyen's girlfriend. Alyssa began to feel sad again
