Surely she would be seeing the likes of the triumphant Gryffindors she was currently converse with again soon. It was the final evening for house comradery! Each of their respective houses would never be like this again. Ought to be relishing in it.

In fact, there were quite a few Hufflepuffs here. Did they not enjoy the company of those in their own house? How very un-Hufflepuff-like!

The ghosted looked the sixth year up and down once before responding. "Just make sure you do not repeat the events of your first year with this BANG of yours," he winked while returning her mischievous smile. Gryffindors ought to be having fun. "Would be more of a BANG if these colours stuck around as well."

Sir Nicholas gave another look towards the Slytherin house table. "Knight's honour, Miss Cambridge." Pity he could do so now. Although he did fear what sort of consequences such actions could have on the Grey Lady.

"About time, if I dare say so myself. It looks regal sitting there pinned to your robes."


Had Gryffindors learned NOTHING this year about chivalry? The ghost gawked as the Slytherin Head of House approached the table and made her inquiry...only to be completely ignored as students carried on with their own conversations.

"Ah, the Lady Tillstorm," he greeted her, laying on the manners nice and thick and offering the woman a deep bow. "Congratulations on your house's Gobstones win. Not as prestigious as the House Cup, but well earned nonetheless."

The Baron wasn't here and thus he needed to get his gloating out somehow. Subtle as it was.

"I believe Mr. Bay is in the company of Miss Carrington last I saw."

And he was still chivalrous. He had answered the lady's question.

No, they would at least acknowledge the person asking the question, even if they didn't know the answer. Manners Gryffindor's, it's called MANNERS! Maybe Bunz should just bring Kevin down to this table and sit here with him. Maybe she could teach the rest of his house some manners.

Or, maybe they could take lessons from their house ghost. "Hello Sir Nick." See lions, HE knows how to be polite. "Thank you. And congratulations to you too on your house winning the House Cup. It was a tight race right up to the end." So tight in fact Cece almost wondered if there had been some padding of points just so the lions could get Bentley a win before she left for good. But it was okay. Her house would blow them all out of the water next term. That's right lions, we're coming for you.

Oh, the ghost had seen Victor. "Why thank you again Sir Nicholas," she said as she looked down the table. "Maybe you can teach these students here how to be as polite as you are. Seems they lost their manners when they won that cup." Or maybe they just never had any to begin with.
