He walked into the Great Hall.. stunned.. he couldnt believe that his first year here was over already. He looked around at all the hugging and maybe even crying going on around there and he was not liking all of that so he walked over to his house table and looked around for a seat when he was about to pass their captain.. he smiled and decided to at least say something.

There had not been one part of her entire experience here that Kurumi had not touched and now she was going to be graduating. The sixth year herself did not know what the summer was going to bring about, but no matter what happened to Selina's future- Kurumi was definitely going in a different direction then her own. And she was not sure how she felt about that. It had been them against the world for SIX years. No more.
And then there was Vivi. She had only known the girl for a year, but it did not change the fact that the blonde had changed her life for good. The sixth year had found a true companion in Vivi. They had been partners in crime and experienced so many things together. She was the Sherlock to her Watson. The adventure was over now. Just like Kurumi, they would stay friends but nothing would ever be the same.
And Gideon. He was leaving too. Even though they had broken up, he had been a huge part of her Hogwarts experience. When she looked back at this part of her life he was not just going to be a nameless face. It would be vivid and real what they shared. And even though that part of their relationship was done, he had been a part of her life and she would miss him too.
Catching her breath, she took a seat at the Gryffindor House Table. Now all they could do was wait. Her blue eyes flickered up to the staff table for a moment and she saw the two empty professor seats. This year had been such a weird one. And a sad one. And a happy one. It was a happy/sad year. And Selina was afraid for it to end because that meant she would have to face everything that was heading her way. And she was not sure she was ready just yet.
"
Hey Captain.. I know we didnt get off to the best of starts.. but being a part of the team has been really cool! You can bet your galleons you will see me on that team again next term" he said with a big grin on his face "
And the bestest part? I wont be a firstie anymore!! and.. and I will be able to bring my own broom.. that will be so cool!!" he said grinning at the prospect of owning his own broom "
Soo.. I just wanted to thank you.. for being" *sneaks a look at the parchment in his pocket before looking back at captain* "
pa..patient with me.. and teaching me.." he says trying to remember what was written on the parchment he had just ready when he thought he had the whole thing memorised "
Umm quidditch and showing me what a great sport it is" he said to her trying to remember if there was anything else "
Oh yeah! and er.. thanks for keeping me safe while playing the game.. even if it was just practice" there that had to be it.. right? he quickly looked at the points on his parchment and saw that he had.. and what?! he was to give her a hug?! oh no.. no way was he doing that.. he looked at Selina and offered her his hand for a handshake instead of a hug.

The one thing other than the last train ride home that Gideon was absolutely dreading. Sure he had been preparing for this all term knowing it would eventually come and so much awaited him on the other side but it was still sad. His trunk was mostly packed and Corvin had returned home ahead of time so that was one less thing he needed to worry about. Nothing like his familiar causing trouble on top of anything else.
With bated breath, he entered the Great Hall, his movements slow as if taking everything in one last time. The room was decked out in decor fitting for a great occasion and it was, something that came along only once a term and celebrated all the good and bad of the year. Of course it still felt odd to not have Tate there in front but it wasn't like it something he had to continue to miss next year.
Gideon looked towards the various tables lined up once more, his gaze finally resting on the Gryffindor House table...his place for seven long and happy years. A sigh escaped him, a mixture of contentedness and sadness. It wasn't hard to notice the familiar redhead already there, the sixth year the only one there at the moment, and he bit his lip debating his next actions.
"Um...hey..." he said quietly as he slowly approached. They had only seen each other in passing for the most part since the scene on the practice pitch. They had been friendly but he hadn't wanted to push anything. Though he knew he couldn't exactly avoid her at the feast and possible the train. Not that he really wanted to...he still wanted to act like the friends they still were.
He then continued walking down the table and saw Mr Prefect and he quickly took out his parchment and memorised the points he had to say which werent many, he walked upto him "
Umm Mr Prefect Gideon.. I would just like to say that.. I know we havent hung out much but.. it has been cool to meet fellow gryffindors such as yourself and Selina and Kurumi." he said smiling a bit before carrying on "
I would also like to say that I hope we do meet sometime so that we.. can.. " oh what was the next part dad wrote.. oh yes! "
can talk and I can see what you do once you leave school" he didnt know what the importance of that was really but his dad was really wanting him to learn all that before he finished school apparently but not knowing why. "
Umm so yeah.. it was good to meet you and erm.. hope we see each other around" he said also offering his hand to him for a handshake.

"How are we all? Excited? Nervous? Packed?"... or were they the last minute type of people too.
He then heard the professor talking to them as she came to the table "
Hi Professor!" he said to her excitedly cause she was afterall his Head of House too! "
I am packed and excited, but will miss the cool stuff we did this term. But maybe we could do it all again next term?" he grinned cause he would sure like to make rockets and things again once the professors would be replaced that is.. and meet some awesome creatures and plants again. He then quickly looked at his parchment and saw a piece for Professor Bentley too.. he then looked up at her and a little unhappily made his speech "
Professor Bentley, I have had good fun being a part of gryffindor house and can say I was glad I was chosen for this house" he said pausing here to remember what was written "
I would like to say sorry for any trouble I may have caused and .. will try not to cause any for the coming future" he smiled a little as per the instructions told him to do so before ending with "
I plan to work harder next term.. and stuff" he said having forgotten what else he was supposed to say to the professor.

It was surreal knowing that this would be her last night at Hogwarts and that once she got off the train the next morning she wouldn't be a Hogwarts student but a graduate. A graduate that didn't have the safety net of the castle to fall back on but the future to step in to.
It was....surreal. Humbling. Hard to swallow.
She had eventually come down after several minutes of just sitting on her bed and looking around and now she stood at the entrance to the Great Hall where she could already hear the voices of her fellow students chit chatting away. Surprisingly, she found herself smiling instead of forcing herself to like she thought she would. Just being here. Feeling the energy. The synergy. Feeling
Hogwarts was enough to do that.
Taking a deep breath,
Kurumi stepped fully into the Great Hall and made her way towards the Gryffindor table while idly playing with her
bracelet. She spotted Selina and would have slipped immediately into the seat beside her when she notice, "
Sir Nicholas! Welcome back," she chirped, bowing towards the ghost. How had he gotten out of the brooch? In fact, wasn't that the Bloody Baron over at the staff table?! How...when....why... Kurumi was just glad to see that he was alright.
He was alright, right?
Oh! And there was Gideon, who got a wave, as did Jake, Alexa, and Arabella. She had almost missed them due to the presence of a ghost that she thought would be forever trapped inside an Egyptian brooch.
Kurumi then saw Professor Bentley, looking very lovely with all those flowers in her hair, and her palms became sweaty. She hadn't expected to see her Head of House so early in the evening and, to be entirely honest, she wasn't ready to hand over the letter she had written the Herbology professor. Not yet. Not to any of the professors and those close friends. Not that Kurumi was sure she would ever really be ready. And then there was the simple question of 'How are we all?' Usually a simple fine or good would be the first thing out of the seventh year's mouth...but not now. There really was no ONE way to answer that question. Kurumi was feeling everything and yet nothing at once. "
Overwhelmed," she murmured in replied without really realizing that she had spoken. "
I-I-I-I mean..." Only Kurumi really didn't know what she meant.
Oh! She was forgetting something! Well, not forgetting, but just delaying something and right now it seemed like the best sort of thing to. Squeaking softly, Kurumi retrieved a box from within her robes and tapped the lid with her wand to banish it. Another swish and flick later and the Gryffindor table had a perimeter of dancing
house cookies - Kurumi's signature since the end of term feast her first year. With a nostalgic smile on her lips, Kurumi slipped into the seat beside Selina and laughed softly.
He then saw that Kurumi was there so he took out the parchment quickly reading over what he was to say to Kurumi, he then walked upto her "
Hi Kurumi.. umm I will be sad to see you and Mr Prefect Gideon go but I know you will have more fun and adventures.. and erm.. I .. am sorry for how I started the term off for you what with the whole train climbing thing" even though it was fun.. maybe he would do it again for the new prefects.. you know just to test them out and such! He then tried to remember what else his dad had written for him to say to her..oh yeah! "
Um maybe we will be able to see each other sometime during the summer breaks and stuff.. umm also maybe keep in touch and stuff" he said also offering his hand for another handshake cause he didnt do hugs "
Oh! and will miss your cookies too" he said adding his own spin to his speech! Unless she sent him cookies so that he wouldnt miss them.

Floating towards the young first year Sir Nicholas gazed at her thoughtfully. "Good evening, Alexa. Is something troubling you?" The 11 year old was usually so full of life and energy but not at the moment. She looked sad.
Smiling warmly Sir Nicholas looked over at the Gryffindor prefect. "Good evening Kurumi. Thank you. Did the professor’s manage to unlock the common rooms?" He hadn’t heard any news since he had been released from his prison only something about a fire.
He then was about to sit down when he saw Sir Nicholas "
Hello Sir Nicholas!" he said excitedly since you didnt get to see spooks and spirits and stuff everyday so this was quite exciting "
What you gonna do over the summer break?" he asked wondering what they all did while everyone was out of school and doing their own thing.. did they ever leave the school to go someplace else or something? Dylan wondered
