Emma smiled when Kitty spoke to her. "I'm good," she replied, but her smile faded a little at what she said next. She'd been trying not to think too much about leaving Hogwarts because it made her sad, and she didn't want to be sad right now! Feasts were for having fun, right? "Yeah, shame..." She bit her lip and stared at the floor for a minute. She was going to miss all her Hogwarts friends! Wait, what? Her head jerked up, and her moment of sadness was forgotten. "Whoa, really? Of course it's fine with me!" It was more than fine! She reached for a pen and paper to exchange contact information with Kitty, then she realized she didn't have her bag with her. "Do you have a pen and paper I could use?"

Yay! The food was here! Emma had only been paying slight attention to Headmistress Hawthorne's speech; she was too distracted by her hunger! Though she did clap for the House Cup winners, graduates, and the IMPS champions, especially Louise, Jesus, and Kyle... because they were awesome! And speaking of Kyle, there he was! She smiled and waved at the IMPS winner before loading up her plate with the delicious food in front of her.

She stopped eating, and her eyes grew big as the ghost appeared. After all these months, she still wasn't quite used to that! "Hello," she said, politely smiling. The ghosts here sure were friendly! Well, except for the Slytherin one. He gave her the creeps! "Oh, yes ma'am! Experiencing Hogwarts for myself was really fun!" So much fun that she almost didn't want to go home!

And there was the handsome professor with all the tattoos (Hirsch). Hiiii, professor! Emma smiled as she returned the professor's wave. Did he know her aunt? Maybe Aunt Dory had done some of his tattoos? She'd been meaning to ask him about that, but he looked a little busy right now. She'd ask him when he was finished talking to those two older boys (Mason and Rooney).

Gaston had parting gifts for all the graduating seventh years, and his first stop was the Ravenclaw table. "Hello, everyone," he said, offering a smile and nod of acknowledgement to Miss McNally, Miss Tyler, Miss Cambridge, Miss Valentine, Mr. Forsfelle, Dora, Mr. Baker, and the two Ilvermorny girls as he passed. "Ready for summer?"

The Ravenclaw ghost also received a smile. "Good evening, Lady Helena," he greeted her with a respectful bow of his head.

Gaston's bright blue eyes landed on Mason and Rooney, the two boys he came to see, but he saw that Hirsch had already beaten him to them. He suddenly felt as if he was intruding on a private moment. Maybe he should wait and try to catch them before they left to give them their gifts? No, he decided. He wanted to make sure they got them. He quietly set a chocolate frog and a sealed envelope containing a congratulations card beside Mason and Rooney's plates. "I won't keep you boys long," he said in a voice barely above a whisper. "I just wanted to say congratulations and good..." There was a slight catch in his throat. No, he was not saying goodbye! "Good luck."

There was more he would've said, but he didn't want to deprive the boys of their time with their Head of House. Besides, everything else he wanted to say was contained in the cards he'd handed out. Oh, and that reminded him! He'd brought extra chocolate frogs to give the Ilvermorny graduates. He wheeled around and handed a chocolate frog to Miss Hamilton. "Congratulations on graduating, Miss Hamilton!"

Without another word, he turned away to give out cards and chocolates to the other seventh years. As he went. he cast a sympathetic look back at Hirsch. He knew how he felt. Watching students walk out of one's life forever was the hardest part of any teacher's job!
