The end of term was here and now it was time for the feast. This was a night Marie had been dreading for a long time. Not only did it mean Professor Lawson would be leaving, it also meant she wasn't going to get to see Frankie or Kali anymore. It also meant this was the last night she was going to see Carter until who knows when. She was finally coming to terms with the fact that she wouldn't see him during the summer but that still didn't mean she wasn't going to miss him like crazy. There had been no mention of a certain puffylump going to Russia with him anymore so she assumed it wasn't going to happen. That made her feel a little better about Carter leaving the country.

Walking into the Great Hall she looked over towards the Gryffindor table. Not finding Carter anywhere she slowly went to the Slytherin table, found a spot that no one was sitting at (facing the Gryffindor table of course) and sat down.

Looking down the table she seen Evelyn sitting there with some other Slytherin girl and a Gryffindor boy. She didn't see Destiny yet though. She then looked up to the staff table. Right away she seen Professor Lawson sitting there with Professor Mrs. Lawson... and there was Destiny, standing right in front of him. Marie knew she should go up there and talk to him but she couldn't do it yet. She wasn't ready to say good-bye to him, not now... not ever.

As she started to look away from the staff table... before she started to cry, she noticed a bunch of students surrounding Professor Truebridge. What was that all about? Eh she would find out later.

She then glanced over at the Gryffindor table again. Still no Carter. She really hoped he was planning on coming to the feast, she wasn't ready for their time apart to start already. She put her head in her hands and looked down at the table.

This night was not starting out very good for her.
