Marcus entered the Great Hall reluctantly, he wasn't even going to even come to the feast. Just being in the hall brought back the memories of what had happened with Alessia and the Headmaster were still fresh in his mind. But what sort of person would he be if he didn't wish the students the best for their summer vacation and say goodbye to those that were graduating.

He made his way over to the staff table slowly and took a seat at the very end away from the other Professor's. There was a vacant seat beside him and he looked up the table and nodded to those that were already there and then turned to look out at the sea of faces in front of him. Thank Merlin it was the end of term.
