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.

"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.

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

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.

So she had wrapped it up again and gone back to not using it. So she had packed with her left hand...which took a while.

But now she was at the feast and ready.... or almost ready to go home. Searching the table she first spotted her captain....who seemed really happy even though she was going to be leaving the school forever... Lily didn't mind though as she headed over. "Hi Captain Ellie... Congratulations on graduating and on being the awesome-st captain ever!" She said plopping down in a seat nearby the group of older kids.

The second year looked up at the fabulous quidditch captain with a big grin before looking around to see who else was there. She saw the seventh year that she had collided with back on the platform when the term was just starting. "Congrats Stella.... I'll miss you." And she saw Vickers and Louisa and some random Puffer whom Lily had seen in classes. "Hi Vickers.... Hey Louisa...." The puffer only got a nod. The redhead started to look around again before seeing her bf surrounded by a bunch of people.


Almost as soon as Stella had spoken to Alyssa about not having seen Louisa yet, the sound of a loud noise that could only have been someone blowing their nose. Another person either upset about graduating, or upset about the people who were. Like her, even if she wasn't dissolving into tears. She knew she'd miss Hogwarts, even if she was excited about what was to come over the summer and afterward, which had made both Alyssa's and Vickers' question about that very thing get most of her attention. Until Louisa had appeared, an swering the question of who had blown their nose. "Hi Louisa," she said, a concerned look appearing on her face almost instantly even though the prefect had assured Alyssa that she wasn't leaving yet. The girl still looked like she might break down at any moment, so she shifted to give her a hug as the attention had gone back to her actually graduating. "Thank you," she replied simply, even though she really wanted to help calm her down.

There were others in the conversation that were still waiting for responses, anyhow, and so she'd turned back to Vickers and Alyssa. At least they'd basically asked the same question, but first there were other topics. "Things always seem to happen here at Hogwarts, though," she replied to Vickers with a smile. "It keeps things interesting." Not to mention was one of the things she might end up missing later. Which segued her thoughts into the rest of the conversation quite easily, and she glanced at Alyssa again. "No. I'm not planning on going into teaching. Acting, actually. I'm heading off to WADA next autumn," she continued. That and moving in with Matt in London, but that hadn't been part of the question. Not Alyssa's and not Vickers' either, so she held back in going into that. It was easier to just focus on schooling, and the career she was planning on pursuing, even though Matt was definitely on her mind.

Which oddly worked as she saw Ellie coming in and taking a seat not that far away from where they were, catching the notice of at least Vickers and Lily. Who had apparently crept up and joined them while she'd been talking, but she gave the tiny redhead a smile before anything else. "Thank you," she said as she got yet another congratulations for graduating. "I'll miss you too." She really would, even if she had others to talk to now as well, and she'd looked over at the Quidditch captain again. "Congratulations Ellie," she said to her fellow seventh year. Just because she didn't like Quidditch didn't mean she wasn't happy they'd won the cup. There were other topics that could be brought up, too, inspired by just how excited Ellie seemed to be. "Excited to get to see Treyen again?," she asked. It was a logical jump to make, at least for her. And it appeared someone was trying to get Vickers' attention now as well, and she momentarily glanced over to see the girl from the kite making before nudging him slightly. He was welcome to go over there if he wanted.
