Asher beamed and giddily waved back at all his housemates. He couldn't believe the older students actually remembered his name. Glowing with Hufflepuff pride, Asher jumped up on the table and shouted "Hufflepuff is the best house ever! I love you all and will miss you this summer."

He smiled brightly towards Ella, Marigold, Forrest, Laura, Alec, Annabeth, Tobias, and Jory. After hopping down from the table he made his way over to Minerva. "A special thank you to you. Ya know. About the Dementors and all."

Blushing, he headed back towards his seat. Even with all that had gone on, it had been a great year.
