Up to date was clever but would be more his alley if it was a joke about calendars. The fresh perspective that Dhruv offered was surprisingly close, "Close my lad, close indeed. Alas the newspaper was exhausted from delivering black and white news in a colourful world." This year called for a joke on colour. He chuckled to himself as he rose in his seat motioning with his hands for everyone to settle down.

"Pleasant evening everyone, so lovely to see you all in good spirits. It is wonderful to see the friendships and bonds that have formed over the last ten months." He paused so they could all appreciate their new and old continued friendships. "An extra special thank you goes out to Professors Cole and Feirgrund on their work to bring the castle back to it's former grandeur in all it's colourful glory." He looked over at the Herbology and Charms Professors, giving them each an appreciative gaze. "My former dear sweet wife would always say that colour was a power that directly influences the soul. My soul is full now as I look around this room."

"A few more congratulations before we tuck into the delicious end of year feast, congratulations to Hufflepuff on their Gobstones win," he glanced toward the house of yellow and black, his former house. "Congratulations to Gryffindor on the Quidditch Cup." He gave a momentary look at the house of scarlet and gold. "And final congrats to our house cup winner, reigning champions for the fourth consecutive year, Slytherin!" He turned to the silver and green table, leading the school in applause.

Once the clamour died down, Wilber continued, "To our graduating class of 2115, stand up and be recognized, my dears. Although your time at Hogwarts has drawn to a close, your path forward is only just beginning. I hope you'll take the knowledge from these past years and bring positive light into the world. A round of applause for our seventh years."

"To those of you returning in the fall," both students and professors, "I look forward to seeing your bright faces for another year of merriment and learning. I wish you all a summer of rejuvenation! Now let us eat, drink and be merry!" With a wave upward of Wilber's hands, the golden plates filled with foods.
