Austin just watched the table as the feast went on. Mail was coming in, a girl was running up and down the aisle, and the grey lady was ghosting around. All in all it was a normal end of term feast. He wanted desperately to pull out his potions notebook and glance through it, but he knew that he had all summer to do that. So instead he decided the better idea would be to eat, and enjoy the company of his fellow 'Claws.

The headmaster began his speech for the night, and it wasn't too different from previous years. He talked mostly about the camps from the winter, which Austin had participated in. Well, he showed up for that one breakfast and hedge race, but that was about it. The soon to be fifth year wanted to do his best to make friends this term. Maybe he didn't do as well a job as he had hoped.
