As he strolled his way over to the Gryffindor table, his eyes wandered over to the opposite side of the hall. He was looking for his girlfriend, just in case you know. It was an emotional for her, him, Zeke, Maggie, Brookie, Kaycee, Hugo, Dante, Paige, et. al. They wouldn't be returning next term ... unless some NEWTs were bombed.
When her face didn't pop out at him, the blond figured that she had not arrived yet. So his gazed turned to his fellow lions. He gave Char, Olivia, and Dora a smile, though his attention quickly turned to two particular Gryffindors, the ones that would be leaving the school with him.
"We finally made it!" he said beaming at Kaycee and giving Zeke's shoulder a good ol' slap. "And I'm looking forward to not having a roomie that snatches my sweets all the time." Not really, but he didn't need to know that. Frankie always knew how to make an entrance, but he was right about making this one. They DID make it, in one piece, and that was accomplishment enough. But while the slap to his shoulder was well received, Zeke would be all too happy to contest the Head Boy’s other comment. Pffffft. "You’ll miss me." He knew it, because he’d miss the blond (and the sweets) too. Maybe he could convince Maggie to keep a stash somewhere? Maybe. At any rate, there was every possibility of reliving their youth once they were out of here, couches made decent beds - he knew this for a fact, having lived on the one in the common room for much of his time here - and they'd no doubt catch up in the outside world for drinks and things. "Know when you can expect your acceptance letter?" he asked, wondering how close Frankie was to realising his goals now.
It was only a matter of time for all of them though… so… SPOILER!!: Dora Quote:

But she wasn't going to get into that just yet. Instead, she held up her hand and extended her pinky finger at him. "Promise?" she asked with a tiny giggle. He had to pinky swear or she wasn't going to hug him again.
Never.
Nope.
Yes she would. Hehe. In fact... she launched herself at him before he even had a chance to seal that pinky swear. "I am going to miss you so much, Zeke," she confessed in little more than a whisper. Was her throat closing up? Was it an allergic reaction to something? Certainly the young blonde wasn't choking up with emotion.
NUH UH! Honestly, he could guess, but he’d likely be wrong. All he knew was he’d miss this bubbly blonde like he’d missed his sisters this whole time.
Zeke had time enough to reply with a very definite, "I promise," and had been about to meet her finger with his when instead he was engulfed in a hug. A very welcomed one at that. His arms adjusted to wrap around her, holding her close while he could. "Not as much as I’ll miss you," he replied, his voice low in her ear.
He was content with staying like this, for the rest of the night if he could, but he needed to ensure Dora was actually alright. She wasn’t crying was she? Because he didn’t think he could handle that.
As much as he wanted to ask, wanted to check… he didn’t know how, and so all he could do was pat her back and smooth down her hair. "I’m here, always."
