Cece quietly made her way back to the staff table after the headmaster gave his speech. The man may not have given names when he said something about professors leaving but she didn't miss who he had looked at when he said that.

She really didn't listen to any more of the speech after that. All she could think about was William not being there next term... and the fact that he didn't tell her he wasn't coming back.

Finally making it to her seat she sat down without acknowledging anyone around her. Then again, the seat to her right was empty, which didn't surprise her since Waylon never made it to the feasts. Then there were the two seats to her left that were also empty. She had spotted Dash heading towards the Slytherin table but paid no attention to what he was doing there. Her mind was on other things right now. Like when did William plan on telling her he wasn't coming back?
