Cale looked over in slight surprise as someone introduced himself to him--that was a first. Usually Cale was the one going around saying hi to everyone. Grinning at the nice change of pace, he held out a hand and shook. "Hey Zeke, nice to meet ya. I'm Cale Newell," he said.

She had no idea how he'd take it, but she hoped he'd be happy. Speaking of Cale, she needed to find him---quickly. She hadn't gotten a chance to tell him her news on the train, because they'd been so busy with prefect duties.
Looking towards the Gryffindor table, Anna immediately spotted her favorite head of curly hair, and she couldn't help but run throught the Great Hall and straight towards him. "CAAALE! CAAAALE!!!!" she exclaimed, quickly sitting down next to him. She was a bit out of breath, so all she could do was sit and smile at Cale for a few minutes. When she was recovered, she started tapping his arm in excitement, anxious to share her news. "Okay, so I got this letter a few days ago. It was from Hogwarts, and they were offering to let me skip a term, due to what they called 'an outstanding academic record.' My parents and I talked it over, and we agreed. I'm a seventh year---with you!" she exclaimed. "I tried to tell you on the train, but prefect duties kept me away from you for too long."
Cale's attention was drawn towards Anna, who was running towards him like a complete loony. Blinking in shock, he watched as she collapsed on the seat next to him, hardly able to breathe, let alone form a coherent sentence.
He listened to what she said, his mouth slowly falling open in shock as she spoke. "Anna, that--that's great! I can't believe it!" he cried, giving her a bone crushing hug in congratulations. As the news slowly dawned on him, he started to realize that he would soon be graduating WITH his girlfriend, rather than leaving her behind, and now, graduation didn't seem like such a scary thought. He felt like choking up as he hugged her, thinking about how they didn't have to worry about what next year would be like, cause next year, NEITHER of them would be worry about school. They'd be in the same situation, and that was enough to make Cale cry.
But he didn't. He was a man. Men don't cry. Duh.

Lyra slowly entered the Great Hall as her eyes wandered around the huge room. It had been two years since she was last here and it was the same yet...different. This was going to be different anyway for a few simple facts that she didn't want to think about at the moment.
Her eyes glanced over each table knowing that she was not going to have a seat at her house table, at least not yet. Last time she was here she didn't sit at the Huffie table at all and this time, it just didn't matter at all. Right now she was going to the Gryffindor table and would eventually make it to the Hufflepuff table.
When she walked up Banana and Cale were already at the table and she knew that Agie would be right behind her. She walked up to the table and took a seat, being quiet for a change. What was wrong with Lyra?
His attention was drawn, yet again, to the arrival of someone else, this time it was someone who WASN'T in his house. It was Lyra, who seemed a bit down for a change. For one, she wasn't talking, or being all shifty and weird with Anna like she usually did. And what was up with her sitting down at the Gryffie table? Interesting...
"Hey Lyra, what's going on?" he asked, still keeping one arm around Anna as he addressed the Hufflepuff.
