With a deeply heart-felt sigh, Rae raised her hands for the attention of the students. "Good evening to you, my Hogwarts friends... no. Good evening, my Hogwarts family. It's been an odd term, I know, but we've made it out alive on the other side. For those of you who haven't heard, we've had much drama this term. Pranks and odd things have occurred all over the school, but we've managed to not only survive the odd events but to come out the other side a little smarter.

"For those who do not know, the events in the school were created by a poltergeist named Iocus. Apparently, Iocus was intent on making Hogwarts his home and had decided to drive our dearly annoying poltergeist Samea from these walls. Due to the hard-work of Samea herself, several students, and several professors, Iocus was driven from our walls, and we hope we will not see him again.

"I know there has been much speculation on all of our parts about the Book of Mysteria. The staff have decided together that the Book can no longer reside within our walls, and we've made motions to destroy it." She stared at the table for a moment before sharing the shameful truth with everyone for the first time. "Sadly, the Book has been bespelled to protect itself against such destruction, and it had hidden itself. The Book is gone, and I couldn't tell you if it is hidden in the castle, in the United Kingdom, or even in this dimension. It is simply gone.

"We must take this as good news... the Book is no longer here, and Voldmortist has no more use for us. We are safe, and next term will be one of prosperity and promise. So let's focus on the positive. The Ravenclaws won the House Cup and the Quidditch Championships with resounding victories," she gestured at the blue and bronze decor. "We all need to work very hard next term to earn points and try to beat the reigning champions. Now, the train will be here soon, but for now... we feast!" She clapped her hands and food appeared on the tables.
