Truth be told, she hadn't even paid the slightest attention to the cobwebs or anything really. Or anyone.

And she felt sort of guilty about it, particularly as she sat at the end of term "feast" and realized she felt she had less friends than when she started off the year. Sure there were people she knew but she didn't really talk to them for the year so when it came time to say goodbye, Tia felt like she had never even said hello. The only thing she had to hope for was that at least her OWL scores would maybe reflect her year of inversion. Pulling her knees up to her chest, she hugged them close as she watched the flickering flames, thinking how much that fire felt like her life right now. Flickering, barely alight . . . but somehow hoping for more life to be added.

Her voice magically magnified as usual, the redhead began with a simple, "Good evening, Hogwarts." She waited for eyes and ears to focus on her. "I would like to start with some congratulations for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff: the former won the House Cup points race, and the latter are our Gobstones champions for this school year. Let's have a round of applause for those hardworking and high-achieving Lions and Badgers, and a round of applause for our Prefects and House Elves who have put together this great event!!!"

She led the applause and followed it up with a big smile. "Congratulations are also in order for us, Hogwarts, for we successfully completed the map we started last term AND we beat back the acromantula onslaught as a team! In the wake of that event, I would like to also announce that I will be stepping down as Headmistress at the end of this term. I have new opportunities knocking at my door and it is time for me to hand over the Head's office to Professor Botros." Where was Ab, eh? She took a moment to wave at him in the dusk. "I have enjoyed my nine terms here as Headmistress and teaching Herbology this past term has just been the icing on the cake. As much as I will miss this place, and miss you all as students," well, some of them, "I will still be involved in Hogwarts' future as the proud parent of an incoming student. So on that note, I wish the best of luck to everyone leaving this school, and continued success to everyone staying. Hogwarts will always be here to welcome us home, should we wish to come and visit one day. Now let's all enjoy some s'mores, relax under the stars, and have a great night's sleep tonight! The train leaves bright and early tomorrow morning!"

And she was certainly looking forward to seeing it off! On that note, Annie let out a bright sigh of relief and moved forward to mingle with the students and roast another marshmallow.

Honestly, Zander had wished he could just stay in the pool for the entire event. Plus he had been in the water the entire time doing his job at the end of the slide, so his toes and fingers were looking real pruny. And it felt like his hair and swim trunks would never dry off. Having forgotten a towel, he opted to hold his shirt instead of trying to wear it for the moment being. Of course he was planning to dry off with the fire which is where he was currently headed over to.

Not many people had made it over yet, which was strange... But they'd have to come soon right? Because there was a speech coming along any minute now. He automatically looked for Sophie, but she must've still been wrapping things up at her post.... He ought to say goodbye to Gabe, though he never really got close to the Ravenclaw. And there was Puck who got a proper smile. And Adi and Benny too for that matter. But Zander decided to go sit by Tia. Because firstly, she looked lonely. And secondly, had she even been at Hogwarts this year? Zander felt like he hadn't seen her at all... Probably because Fifth Year and all.

"Hey," he smiled as he sat down in a chair around the fire wishing that he had grabbed some smore supplies before sitting down. "How did OWLs go?"

But before he could say much more... SPEECH.

O___________O TRUEBRIDGE SAY WHAT NOW?

She was leaving???? She was leaving!!!! Ahem. Zander tried not to show too much excitement because... Well, firstly that'd probably be frowned upon and secondly... Actually no that was the only reason. Truebridge clearly hated him after last term so her leave would mean that they'd get a new herbology Professor who didn't hate him yet. Merlin. Forget the Groundskeeper curse, the herbology curse was real. Only because no one could do as great a job as Bentley did. <3 <3 <3

Ahem.

Turning back to Tia, the blonde looked over with wide eyes. "Merlin, can't believe she's gonna leave after all these years." Well no actually, he could. "Guess I don't blame her though, after this years mess with the acromantulas and all..." The woman did get taken into the woods and almost died. Yeah. That happened.

... Uh. Well sort of miss you, Truebridge. Heh.
