Marsha was trying to cheer up, honestly she was. She had spoken to Sophie, Zander and Reagan at their last Quill meeting. She had another run with Adi tomorrow morning before they had to get ready for the train. She would see Puck tonight to say thank you for looking out for her over the last two years and it wasn’t like this was the last that she would see Benzi, since his sister was one of her best friends. She had to remember that they had impacted her life greatly over the last two terms but that didn’t mean that she would never see them again or that she would forget them. … but she did need to try and speak to Cutty before she left the train station tomorrow and she would mostly, kinda, sorta, never be okay.

When Yoongi spoke to her though, she couldn’t help but smile. He’d always been so patient with her, and had never made her feel like a nuisance - even last year. She gave him a small smile and leant her head on his shoulder in gentle, silent thanks. She was just going to turn back to looking wistfully at her plate when Norah - kind, sweet, beautiful Norah - started talking to her too. With chocolate! Mouth hanging open slightly, she looked up at the Hufflepuff Prefect. ”Are… are you sure?” The Welsh Lion asked her, with a genuine smile. ”Thank you so much…. and I know it will be okay. You are both here next term, and Lance, Suri and Rusty… I’ll just miss those who are leaving, that’s all.” She nodded a little, as if that explained everything. ”Promise I’ll be here for you next term if you need me…. Both of you.” Another small quick smile and Marsha turned away, giving them their privacy (mostly) to talk… though she couldn’t help a larger, more genuine Sha smile when they agreed to go on a date over the Summer. She even bounced in her seat a little bit.


Marsha clapped in all of the right places as Botros’ made his speech. She wasn’t particularly listening though, instead looking around the table for AJ. She had to be here somewhere - maybe she was sitting slightly further away since she had unconsciously sat down relatively near to Adi and Benny? Not that she had paid them much attention since she had sat down, only now looking around at the people surrounding her. Anyone who looked in her direction got a small smile, though she wasn’t really feeling it. She needed to talk to Lance or AJ… even Suri would snap her out of this weird mood she was in.

Oh look… Now Professor Flamsteed was in on it… Yes yes. Gryffindor won the house cup, they were amazing… but the graduates were the reason she was sad. Where were the others? She really…. reallly needed somebody to distract her. She couldn’t keep feeling like this until she left school tomorrow… She needed to remember that she was going home to be with Alis and her baby brother Rhys… that Lance, Suri, AJ, Rusty would all still be here next year, not including the other amazing people and Professors who would also be returning. Why could she not be happy? That would be perfect.


Moving to rest her chin in the palm of her hand, Marsha pulled her attention away from everything else that was going on around her… to be pulled from her day dreams by Angel. Blinking a little, she smiled gently at the fifth year. ”Hi Angel. I’m okay, a little sad.” A little sad was down playing her feelings a liiittle bit, but she didn’t want to upset anyone else. ”How are you? Glad to be finished with your OWLs?” She asked, softly. Her eyes roamed the table again as she searched for Angel’s identical sister, AJ.
