It was with a far lighter heart that she arrived at the end of term feast than the beginning so many months prior. With OWLs now officially completed and a few blissful weeks before she even had to start looking for the returned grades, Vera was pretty ready to take advantage of her summer. Though... With Gobstones, work and a family excursion to Italy she wasn't quite sure how much free time she'd logistically have available but... that didn't mean she wouldn't still make it work for her people.

All of that was also a problem for later. For tonight, she could bask in the fact they'd be getting perhaps one of the best meals they'd had all term with the kitchen resuming it's normal operations. And with the dust cleared, perhaps (hopefully) there would be less sneezing during the course of the evening as well.

Finding herself a seat at the Gryffindor bench, and ignoring how abysmally her house had scored for the term, she let her eyes wander over the hall while she waited for anyone to join her.
