Chris walked slowly into the Great Hall and took a seat at the long table. This year had been absolutely crazy. There was no other word for it. Half the school had been flooded, classes had to be shortened or moved because of it, and the Headmaster was attacked by Professor Lupa. The last part really shook him. He had always liked Professor Lupa so much but she was a werewolf and they could loose control sometimes. He hoped that the Headmaster was ok, and that they weren't too hard on Professor Lupa.

Some other good things had happened this term too. He had helped defeat the evil merepeople and helped rescue their princess, he had earned a load of points for Gryffindor and had hung out with his friends, and new girlfriend Paris.

As he sat there looking up at the Staff table and the slowly filling Great Hall he realized something that really was sad. All the seventh years were leaving. That was a fact that, even though he knew it was coming, hurt him every term. He would be losing Anna as his co-Prefect and buddy. He would still see her hopefully out and about but not like they used too. He would also be losing some other fellow Prefects, Clifford, Evangaline, and Vanessa. And not just them all his friends that would be graduating. He hoped he could see them all before they left!
