~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Tearing his eyes away from the Dais {it was still weird to him to see Kazmi and there be no jingling and assorted fanfare about} as Maria sat opposite to him. He suspected she was eager to get home to her fathers given the events that happened months ago to one of them. “Hi, Maria! You can bet your last Galleon I am!” There wasn’t much planned but he didn’t mind a quiet vacation this year. “How about you? Traveling to anywhere in particular or anything?” Oh, a concern about the powers they’d all had. “They’re all gone,’’ the older Hufflepuff replied firmly. “The professors are certain about it so don’t worry about it.” He offered Maria a reassuring smile, seeing how she would still be worried. Peeves had given them instructions for that Potion which they took and one shouldn’t trust that Poltergeist. But the staff and students had no choice but to do exactly that in this situation.
Hearing the sing-song version of his name, his face lit up at the sight of Keighley finally arriving. “Heeeey, Keigh!” Jude bumped her shoulder back. “I haven’t seen Rea yet. I think she might be saying goodbye to every inch of the Castle.” It was a joke but maybe their sister was going through a funky mood now that she was graduating. After all, she never was late to the Feasts. The boy wasn’t worried yet, however. “Hungry already?” |
