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. Things always seem to happen here at Hogwarts... That got a wider grin from the Ravenclaw
"Well thats true...." Never a dull moment, it was by sheer miracle that they even managed to get to their classes and finals at all. Then the mention of WADA came up
"You're training to be an actor?... like Head Boy Treyen?" he glanced and nodded at Alyssa, which he was pretty sure is what she meant as Hadley has always held the other position. True, acting as a career path didnt even occur to him, not an obvious choice with their abilities
unlike Muggles but then again.... why not
"...A career on stage or would you have plans of infiltrating the Muggle business?" Magic in the Muggle world specially the likes of Hollywood wasnt as rare as the Ministry of Magic would like to believe.
SPOILER!!: Addy

Addy turned and beamed at the other girl and shook her hand lightly. "Nope. Sure haven't had the pleasure of meeting me, yet. I'm Addy Kennedy. Good to meet ya!"
JOY! Making friends... on the last day of term. SIGHS. She would enjoy this, though.
Addy happened to be glancing down the table as the boy in glasses waved at her... she couldn't help the blush that colored her cheeks... She nodded her head politely and waved back.
...
"HEY! Would you come here for a moment?" she spoke loudly and motioned the boy over. HEHEH. Oh dear goodness... She HAD to ask him why he always seemed to merely smile and wave at her... nothing more.
Oh she speaks!
He felt the nudge from Stella and glanced at her momentarily before giving a quick nod
"A fellow Yank..." he grinned as he shifted seats. The red-head wasnt sitting too far away. As he settled into his new seat he offered his hand and said
"Hi I'm Vickers.... " Hurrah for improved social skills, books arent the only things he's learned from this term
"First term here right?..." because he didnt remember seeing her at all last term, given that the only ginger in the House of Ravenclaw was Ellie and one or two other younguns
"... How are you like this place so far?" SPOILER!!: Cap'n Ellie

Wow she really couldnt wait to get out of Hogwarts couldnt she?
Another slow, silent nod came from Vickers, amused though he was with the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain's enthusiasm. He was tempted to ask what were the other two best days of her life-- an his face has shown the curiosity-- when someone asked if she was turning Professional
"Yeah... have you talked to any scouts yet?" With the way she plays she has got to be fielding some offers yeah?
SPOILER!!: Lily

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.
Instead of getting up and wandering over to Tay, Lily just gave her a smile and a wave...with her left hand instead of her right. If Tay wanted to come over Lily would talk more...if not, well, the second year would find her friend on the train home.
He turned when another voice said his name
"Oh hi Lily..." he greeted back and gave her a greatful smile. Yep great team player right there, both on the Pitch and in classes. HE was grateful for her really.

But now he falls silent as the saw the Headmaster rose from his chair and started to speak.He listened in respectful silence but as he did so his brows started to knit together...
... Some Professors were leaving? He watched his glance in the direction of the Dragon Keeper and the Runes Master. No..... They cant..... But those were two of his favorite Professors! Jenkins helped him understand and finally love Runes, and he couldnt even begin to describe the great many things Williamson has with his classes and his Sanctuary to a guy like Vickers who had always been more at ease with animals than people...
He was starting to get that sinking feeling he had when he realized both Roslund and Schirmer wasnt coming back. Now that he's grown attached to two more Professors they're leaving too. What did he have some kind of curse?
wibble
But even before he could wallow in his self-pity the Headmaster added something else.... the brow knitting has been replaced with the slack-jawed expression of shock and disbelief....
... Did the Headmaster just say he was leaving too?????????
He thought he'd grown deaf for a moment on both ears. Why?... why are they leaving??...Why are they leaving just when he's gotten comfortable with them and has started to come out his shell? And who will lead them into the next term?-- the term HE is GRADUATING in?
Suddenly he felt so uncertain about his Hogwarts future. He can feel his 7th year will be a different kind of stressful for him what with his NEWTs, but given his less than stellar social skills and adaptability he was really hoping for the familiarity and the support he has had with the current staff.
Now its looking like he would have only half of such support. He gazes at the rest of the staff that were still at the table, perhaps staying just a tad bit longer on Elwood. The anxiety was clear on his face. Dont nobody els leave him please???
