Minerva returned the hug from Alec,
"I can't believe you will be a fourth year already..You should still be a firstie.." Minerva joked with him being all big sisterish.
"Let's just say this term was eventful, yes I think that is the best description for a term like this, but look Puffs did a fantastic job this year, so I can't complain." Smiling, yes there were sad moments
glances at staff table and some terrifying moments, but the quidditch final was amazing, meeting Ethan again amazing, and of course her friends were always amazing.
"Did you have a good term?" That was the better question, she couldn't have her little bro not having a good term. She smiled as Alec said he would write,
"Good don't want you forgetting about me this summer or anything."
Smiling at Ella, she couldn't help but laugh.
"I think it goes faster each term. I can't believe I'll be a fifth year already next term. Doesn't seem possible." Listening to her summer plans Minerva wished she knew exactly what her's were at the moment,
"Well I'm hoping to be in London most of the summer, but I'm waiting to hear on that. So for now I'll be headed back home to the States with my grandparents, but if I do stay in London, I already told Harvs we were all hanging out. So i'm hoping that works out. " Yes she did want to spend time with as many people as possible this summer, but if she had to go home then that would be fine as well.
Laughing at the awkwardness she saw Oakey give about her saying they were cute, he would need to get over that, because they were cute together. Oh yes the internship, she almost forgot Oakey had come into the office that day about the same thing.
"Oh Gringotts that sounds interesting, but I still get kind of confused with wizard money, so I knew that wasn't the place for me. I actually applied for one at the prophet. I'm hoping it will be interesting and I can learn some things." She was a bit excited with applying and hoped they would hear soon.
Liking the girls excitement Minerva smiled,
"Well I'm so glad your first term went so well and to be your first term and the house winning cups like they did. All so fun." Minerva's smile faltered only for a second when the professors were mentioned, yes that was not so fun, neither was Millie being taken, nor having that stupid thing around her leg at one point. Trying to brush it off Minerva forced a smile again,
"Well it was sad, but hopefully next term will not have as much sadness and we can all just enjoy the better parts."
She hoped she didn't upset Belle saying about seventh year,
"Don't be nervous, you will be great as a seventh year. Plus we will have loads of fun." Ah yes, OWLS Minerva felt her stomach turn a little bit at these words. Yes she would surely need to head to a library a little this summer just to start studying, not to soon right.. Plus she felt helping Ethan study this term gave her a little bit of a head start as well. So Belle hadn't heard anything about the internship, well Minerva hoped they would hear and all be together for the summer.
"Yes keeping in touch is a must. If we both are back in the States maybe we can find away to meet up. You come to Tennessee or i could go to you." Just a thought to throw out there. She wasn't sure if her grandparents could afford to send her anywhere, but everyone was welcome to her grandparents house, she knew they wouldn't mind.
Minerva then saw someone sit down at the table and not really socialize, well Minerva never let someone just sit without talking. Smiling at him,
"Jory, your not being to quiet are you?" Yes, Min was eyeing him.. No reason not to celebrate.
"You did awesome this term for us, you know that right? What are your plans this summer?" She hoped the puff had something fun and would be relaxing since he worked so hard in classes this entire term.
Minerva listened to the seventh year and frowned, she felt bad seeing the seventh years so sad. Why wasn't Max over here comforting her. Well he was probably off doing his own seventh year goodbyes as well.
"Well this place will miss you as well, but I bet whatever you do after here will be great. Just try to relax and have some fun over the summer." Yes, for some reason Min was all about having fun this summer. Usually it was all about school and working hard for school, but after this term Min was more ready for fun then anything else.
Minerva looked at the two afraid she had come to talk at a bad time.
"I'm not interrupting am I?" No she wouldn't want to do that. Then Mick said something about hanging out over the summer.
"Well it's up in the air whether I will be around London or in the States this summer, but once I know I would like to hangout with you guys. It's always nice to see friends happy, and I can see you make Laura happy." She gave Laura a smile and then shook her head,
"No..no.. it was not your fault and stop thinking I'm still mad, I don't care about that anymore." She knew why Laura felt they didn't do the double date and that was not it at all.
Minerva gave Bliss a smile as she showed that she was not hurt anymore from the game,
"Okay.. I will stop asking and worrying, you look fine." she chuckled,
"I am allowed to worry about my friends though..Especially when they need to be completely healthy to come back and show everyone that they can take top in quidditch again next term. You are going to go out again, right?" Yes, she hoped Bliss would, she was a great player and since most were young, they should have a strong team again. How exciting to think about.
"Good I'm glad you will write. If I'm with my grandparents, owls will be the only thing that will keep me up to date on what's going on in the wizarding world." Not that muggling it up for the summer wouldn't be a nice little break, but she would miss so many things about being around magic.
Minerva smiled at Nessie,
"Well I'm glad, I was worried when they said you couldn't play in the final match. I knew it had to be something big." She then couldn't believe that Nessie seemed awkward at her comment, she wasn't saying anything that wasn't true. She was a great captain and it showed by them getting to the final and winning. Now it was time for Min to blush a bit.
"Well thanks, I really did like the announcing, it was a really great experience, but getting to play was great as well. I had missed being on the team and don't thank me. I am always here to help when I can, so it was no trouble."
