| Term 60: January - April 2022 Term Sixty: Crash, Smash, Bitterwood (Sept 2106 - June 2107) | 
12-26-2021, 10:56 PM
| | Staff Table  On a raised dais situated at the farthest point of the Great Hall stands a long table where the members of the Hogwarts staff sit and enjoy their meal while casting a watchful eye out on the four House tables. Each staff member has an assigned, cushioned chair to sit on throughout the duration of the feast, though the more notable out of them all is the throne-like golden chair in the centre reserved for the headmaster.
Keep in mind that you should not be wandering up to the staff table if you are not a staff member before Headmaster Kazmi has delivered his speech. Doing so will result in the last-minute loss of points or worse before you even made it on the Hogwarts Express. If you wish to speak with someone who is seated up here, you will have to wait until after the speech has been said and there is food and drink on all of the tables. Make sure to keep your visit brief though -- the staff were also waiting on the food to appear and are just as hungry as you.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Addyson Lynette Dane Ravenclaw First Year | Slytherindor ♛ The Crazytastic Besties ♛ Shan Watson ♛ Simon was one of the first to show up at the feast. Once again, he had his leather notebook tucked underneath his arm as he waltzed over to the table. A year it had been indeed. He had thought that perhaps the years at Hogwarts would get easier as he aged; however, the castle always seemed to like to prove him wrong. He’d have plenty of tales to share with his own children when he arrived home. Seeing them in person was much better than mirroring or writing letters. Nothing could beat the ability to the touch of holding and hugging the ones you love. Nevertheless, he pulled his chair out from the table and took his seat.
Seated now, he cast his blue eyes across the Great Hall, watching the students walk in. An emotional day for many, he was certain of, as he observed them.

The color teal was her thing so of course Euka came into the Great Hall in her favorite Peacock style robes. She always felt a little emotional at this feast. The term ending, the students leaving, but she also felt excitement for the summer, her own garden, checking in on her late husbands creature sanctuary. It all had the best of summer spending time there, plus her son starting to take it over and moving into his father's footsteps was always an exciting piece. "Good evening Simon, can you believe we are here once again already? I feel the older I get the faster these terms go." She took her seat and looked around at the house tables. Her Hufflepuffs try so hard every term, she knew one of these years they would have the cup again, she just knew they had it in them.
Lifting her goblet she took a sip of water and waited for the other staff to join.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Graduated Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Fifth Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Cyril meandered his way to his seat at the staff table, settling into the spot reserved for Leanne while he scanned the room of students before them. What a term it had been. Unforgettable, to say the least. He'd enjoyed getting to see and know so many of the students before him, but if there was one thing he'd learned over the school year -- he was too old for this. Retirement had been the right path for him, and it was with a heavy heart and relieved muscles that he'd be going back to it. The experience was something he wouldn't forget, and while his eyes paused on the Slytherin table for a moment, the gentleman had to compose himself from getting emotional at getting to witness his grandson's final feast.
Clearing his throat of emotion, the elderly man glanced around at his colleagues and smiled at all of them, needing to focus on something different. "Everyone looking forward to getting home to their loved ones?" Well.. assuming everyone had someone at home. An ironic assumption for him, given he technically lived alone with his revolving door of family in and out.

| Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight Even up to the very last minutes in term - perhaps even more so now - Kamran had been kept busy. Then again, now that the castle had stopped actively trying to fall apart, and now that they had an answer to that whole... vine... situation (still didn't want to talk about it), he was in good spirits.
Arriving to the Great Hall a little later than he would have liked after having had to address some overly boisterous behaviour in the corridors, Kamran reached the dais in time to hear Cyril's question. "Absolutely," he said. Though his kids had technically flown the nest, summer was the time that they spent together, making up for the ten months a year he was away at Hogwarts. "Yourself?" The older gentleman would not, of course, be limited to the summer months for his break, but the question applied all the same. "Evening Simon. Good evening, Euka," as he greeted the others, Kamran settled himself into his chair and folded his hands on the table in front of him, looking out over the students. Perhaps, after the meal but before the end of the feast, he'd wander out to each table and speak to those graduating or planning to transfer out, for a set of slightly more personalised farewells. Yes, he'd make sure to do just that.

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia It was hard to believe that the end of term had arrived already, and yet, here it was. She knew her daughter was thrilled that exams were over and summer was on its way, but Rosalie would miss this place at least. It was hard not to grow fond of this place, considering how much time was spent here in a year. Still, it would be nice to visit family again throughout the summer.
A "good evening," and a smile was offered to Cyril, Kamran, Meda, and Simon as she passed, before taking her designated seat beside Simon. And there was that notebook he seemed to have with him often these days. "Any final notes about this term?" she asked.

Caledon Roth The Leaky Cauldron | Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Norman made his way to his usual place at the far end of the staff table. All things considered, it had been a fairly quiet term. No vines, no crazy pseudo-healers, no evil blood supremacist regimes…. Not that he wasn’t glad to see the castle back in order and that pompous windbag Bitterwood gone, of course! It was just that compared to the previous terms, that all seemed tame. At any rate, he was looking forward to a relaxing summer vacation with his newly graduated daughter. ”Evening, all,” he greeted his colleagues with a slight smile and polite nod. “Excited for the summer?” Small talk was really not his strong suit, but he was trying, okay?
While he awaited an answer, he glanced out at the house tables, his blue-green eyes lingering on the Ravenclaw one for a moment. So far so good, no sign of shenanigans. Not that he had to worry much about that. The kids were smart enough to know how to act!

| Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight "I'll be glad for the break," Kamran said in response to Norman. Then again, the break would be a short one, before all the preparations for next term were underway. In fact, it would be more akin to dialling down the workload as opposed to breaking from it entirely, but that was largely out of choice. He was not the kind of person to whom relaxation came naturally.
Once the Great Hall seemed to have reached a familiarly settled, yet still active, buzz, Kamran took a glance at his watch. Now was as good a time as any to get this speech done, and ensure the students (and staff, please and thanks) were fed. He got to his feet and called for everyone's attention, waiting a few moments until he had it. Or at least until he had quiet. "Good evening, everyone. I doubt it's escaped anyone's notice, but we find ourselves again at the end of another term. First and foremost, it is my great pleasure to announce that Mr Bitterwood, our rogue Board member who so kindly sent us a cursed plant, can now be found in Azkaban, having been charged after making a full confession to law enforcement officials." Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred galleons. Child endangerment will do that to a person. "Needless to say, he will no longer have any involvement with Hogwarts, or the Board. Also, the enchantments on the school have been performed and the building all fixed up, but the castle will undergo several intensive checks over the summer to be sure everything is completely up to code."
Now then, on to regular end-of-term business. "Congratulations to Ravenclaw for winning the House Cup this year." A close race. Always fun when that happened. After pausing for applause, cheers, declarations of best behaviour until the end of time, et cetera, Kamran went on. "To those of you now leaving us for good, particularly our graduating class, good luck out there. I wish you good fortune in your future endeavours. With hard work, determination, and commitment to trying your best, I know you all have the capacity to go far. This next step you're taking is a big one, but a necessary one, and all those opportunities are out there just waiting for you to seize them. Feel free to keep in touch, and let us know how you're getting on."
Kamran paused, allowed a rare half-smile, then went on. "As to the rest of you, I look forward to seeing you all again in September. I trust you will make the most of this next two months - relax, enjoy yourselves, and breathe. OWL and NEWT results will be owled out in a couple of weeks, so put those out of your minds until then." Easier said than done for some of these students, he knew.
With that, there was only one thing left on the agenda. "Thank you, everyone. Now, enjoy your feast."
By the time Kamran was back in his seat, the food had appeared on all five tables, ready to be promptly devoured.

| Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... "A break will be lovely, but maybe we could possibly have dinner or something over the summer together. That could be a fun evening out, something we don't get to do much of here at times." Bonding with her fellow professors was always something she tried to do and enjoyed.
Listening to the speech she did applaud Ravenclaw on their victory and clapped for the seventh years, she would miss many of them, but knew they were on to bigger things than their education here.
As the food arrived she gave a small thanks to the elves, even if they weren't standing right there to hear, before starting to eat.
