The ghost hovered a bit closer to the third year and beamed down at him. "Valiant effort again this term, Mr. Atreyu. I must admit I am hoping to see you on the leader board next term! Must keep these splendid colours in the Great Hall." Was the young man up to the task? Sir Nicholas had faith.

See she was clever with her time because now she'd barely have to wait for the food to be served and really, what more did she want at the feast? Well...goodbyes maybe..but she'd see Donny over the summer, hopefully Lucas too and probably a lot more others. Even so there was still the TRAIN. Like THAT was where you said goodbyes, wasn't it? This..this was just for the Seventh Years to eat really amazing food for the last time in their lives.

GOSH. POOR THEM.

At least Abbi wasn't stuck in their situation, not for as long as they'd be anyways. Next term come and OH boy she'd be ready to enjoy this food all over again.

Also..she totally wasn't going to admit she was going to miss some of the seventh years like Jozsua and Elodie. COUGH COUGH.

Could you tell those meh shmeh deep feelings weren't really her vibe to express?

It was always better to shout and scream, yes. It was.
Sir Nicholas raised an eyebrow and coughed as the tiny Gryffindor took her seat. "The early fwooper catches the worm while the late fwooper starves, Miss Campbell," he pointed out to her. "Unless said fwooper was too busy celebrating victory elsewhere and thus arrived late because of said celebration."

Did the little dear still run around with her fairy wings? It wasn't proper of the ghost to go looking in the girls' dormitories for such information.

"You haven't happened to get some gloating in with the Bloody Baron, have you?" She noticed he wasn't at the feast. Must be off hiding his ghostly tears. He and one Sophie Newell could do that together. From where she sat, Lex could see her sulking too.
"I wouldn't miss it for the Headless Hunt, Miss Cambridge!" he gloated as he floated near the prefect. "Let us hope you can still whip these lions into shape next year as well. I would hate to see any other colours grace the Great Hall your seventh year."

Sir Nicholas ventured a mischievous glance towards the Slytherin table. "I have not. But it would be a right pity if I did not get a good gloat in before the term's end. He is probably busy keeping Peeves in check I suspect...or at least offering that as an excuse for his absence."

The ghost's gaze looked downward briefly before yet another beaming smile appeared on his face. "I see you have decided to wear your badge again About time, if I dare say."
