She nodded her head at Tristan, more or less responding to his own nod. There really wasn't much else to say. Yes, she was healing just fine. Slowly, but just fine. "Likewise," Regina did manage to say.
Her head turned at the sound of Ignatius ... and she couldn't help but blink in silence for a moment at his compliment. The colour looked good on her? In her opinion, blue was more her colour; yellow, not so much. Regardless, a smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, Ignatius." She left it at that, though she did want to question why the Potions professor decided Haraldur's seat was a better
When Celestia and Gaston arrived, the headmistress gave the two of them a courteous nod of her head. The Transfiguration professor was down at the end of her table, and Gaston didn't seem to be very talkative.
Laurel soon grabbed her attention, however. Again, more comments about the yellow. "Thank you," she replied, still not quite perched at her seat yet. "I'm not too particular about wearing yellow, but figured the occasion called for it."
"Good evening, Kaysha. And thank you."
Then Roderik, with his dimples, happened. Of course, she couldn't help but smile at him. Though this time the smile was a little smaller than usual. "Same to you" were the few words Regina managed to say to him. They would talk later.
Bypassing her seat, the woman made her way down to the other end of the table and walked straight up to the podium. It was a little early for her to be making her speech, but food was a needed distraction. Plus she was certain that there were hungry, hungry Hogwartians out there that couldn't sit there with rumbling tummies much longer.
"Another term has come to an end, ladies and gentlemen" Regina began, looking out at them all, her eyes shifting from the Gryffindor table to Hufflepuff to Ravenclaw and to Slytherin, then back again. "After the unexpected Inferi invasion, we all deserve a holiday to rest, relax, and recharge. Before those days come, however, I do want to recognise the great vigilance that was displayed that night. It isn't every day one has to face a mass of Inferi and live to tell the tale."
The headmistress led the entire hall in a round of applause before continuing.
"Further recognition is in order for Hufflepuff House. Congratulations for your achievement of winning the Quidditch Cup. Furthermore, congratulations on your seizing of the House Cup, with an impressive two thousand and forty-seven points. Your hard work and dedication has certainly paid off."
Cue another round of applause.
"Lastly, I wish to recognise those of you who are graduating. Please rise," she continued. A pause was given while she watched them stand up on by one. "Congratulations on this great milestone. You have achieved so much, from surviving your examinations, mastering various spells, and gaining knowledge and experiences that have shaped you into who you are today. Hogwarts has been like home for many of you, and it will be here waiting to welcome you back. But now a new chapter of your life begins, and I wish you all the best of luck on your future endeavors."
A final round of applause was had. Once the clapping ceased, the headmistress motioned for the graduates to take their seats and then elaborately waved her hand, causing food and drink to appear on all of the tables in the dining hall.
"Bon appétit!"
