Ugh. With a little groan, Tate climbed back on the dais, rubbing his now bruised arm with a look of complete disgust. And here he was, supposed to be agile and quick on his feet, falling over himself.
"Apparently we're adding tumbling to our repertoire," he mumbled, even as he climbed over the now-wobbly Headmaster's chair. He shoved the table a few inches so he could stand in the gap between the chair and the table, giving the entire thing a horrified look as it wobbled for a moment too close to the edge of the dais before he jerked it back.
And spilled every glass of water.
"Okay, so..." WHAT AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR A SPEECH. "Well done, you lot. No one died and... you defended your school and your fellows. We're proud of your work this term, and I hope you feel a bit smarter." He caught the table again, bringing it back toward him. "Good work to Ravenclaw, winning the house cup in a surprising flurry right there at the end. It was a tight race all term."
And was there really anything else to say? He shoved his hands into his pockets. "I think it's safe to say that none of us know what the future may hold, even with Seers sprinkled among us from time to time. Our decisions change things, our actions make or break a vision. The power to succeed is firmly in your own hands, all we can do up here is provide you with the tools to get there. Some of the faces you see up here won't be back next term, and they'll be replaced by new faces that are equally interested in pushing you along toward your individual destinies. As for me, I've appreciated my time here, and each of you, and I hope you feel the same. So." Pause. "Thanks."
