It was strange, being back here. A good strange. She'd missed it but not in the way she'd expected to. Life after Hogwarts had proved exciting and challenging and she'd grown up since graduation. She'd become a godmother and moved in with Alec and her best friend was getting married and life was good. Stressful at times but good. So no, she didn't wish she was still a student here (though that would help her see one Tobias Tempus a lot easier), but she was happy to be back.

Giving Alec's hand a squeeze, the blonde peered up at him and smiled. "I should've made you a head boyfriend badge. That much is still the same as far as I'm concerned." Ella's smile widened and then she scanned the table, lacing her fingers through his in the process. It really was good to be back.

"Hey, you two." It was nice that more familiar faces were here, one of which belonged to her Oakey Worm. She'd know that head of hair anywhere, just saying. Was he having bad luck already?
