"I think so. I just... its sort of all starting to sink in. I'm leaving and I'm not sure if I know who I am if I'm not here. S'part of who I am, this place. The good and the bad of it." Yeah. West chewed his lip for a moment and then smiled again. "Bet you'll miss me, Sir." Grin. Putting on a brave face over here. Yep.

Botros nodded at that Hogwarts felt like a part of West. He got that, he'd heard it from the others, too. "That's because you haven't been somewhere else yet." So his concern about knowing who he was wasn't unnatural. "This castle, it gave you the most it could have given to prepare you for when you're out there. I'd like to believe that you have the perfect ground to build on new experiences and make good life decisions."

"I will miss your presence in the classroom, but I sure hope you won't make me miss you, boy." He chuckled, giving him a playful frown and a poke in the head. "I've been doing this a long time, and it was very hard in the beginning but when I saw my students blossom and shine, grow bigger and more influential outside, I am glad we let them out, it is worth it." So, yes, he was waiting for letters and future accolades that Odessa was most likely going to earn in his life.

Besides, West was still welcome in his manor in Egypt Easter time.
