Well this was it. Her time at Hogwarts was over and Shay could hardly believe it. Trying to think positively, she intended to focus on her future plans and not the fact that she was leaving her friends, her school, her home. The seventh year for a little longer made her way to the Gryffindor table. She was surprised to see that there were a lot of empty spaces, considering she was fashionably late.

“Hello there ladies”,Shay said to Dora and Zoryn with forced cheerfulness. Then she plopped down at one of the many empty spots at the table. This was going to be difficult.......but she would survive.
