A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips at Stella’s reply. For a graduating student, she was pretty chill about it; it was different from all the tearful faces that have dotted the Great Hall. What about him? “Well I am looking forward to going home, after all the strange stuff that’s been happening here all term something familiar and predictable would be a welcome change.” he replied with a small shrug but the smile still in place. “What are you planning to do after Hogwarts Stella?” it did occur to him that around the same time next year, he would be in her position, and quite frankly he hasn’t really thought that far ahead other than hopefully scoring well on his NEWTs.

Then Alyssa came around and raised his hand as he waved hello. “We do pretty well with team activities don’t we?” he replied with another small smile and a nod of his head. But then she mentioned something about Louisa being in this term’s graduating class and was about to speak up about that misconception when he heard a honking weeping coming nearer to them. The icy blue gaze lands on the Ravenclaw Prefect looking and sounding visibly upset. He shot a glance at Stella. See his pensive smile isnt as bad as Louisa’s very controlled meltdown heh.

He vaguely heard Louisa’s and Alyssa’s convo when Cap’n Skippy Ellie’s familiar flame colored hair bounced into the Great Hall and took her seat at their table. Another happy graduate. Maybe it’s a good trend yeah? “Hey Cap’n Ellie, you look like this is the best day of your life.” its hard to believe she hated it that much to be so eager to leave it, specially how they did so well in Quidditch. Had to be something else right?

That accent-- he knows that, one of the few familiar things from home… He turned his head and as his sight landed on the red-head from the Kite Flying event. Cue small wave and a welcoming smile.
