Elliot was the first to arrive at the table? Well this was weird. The blonde third year took a seat, for the last time, as well, a third year. Weird. She would be a fourth year next year...which was one step closer to graduating. Elliot wasn't sure how she felt about this at all.

she took a seat, by herself obviously, and sighed. There was no one to talk to...no food yet...well, this was be quite interesting...NOT.

Hopefully someone would come along soon. And by soon, she meant NOW.

Taylor sat down at the Ravenclaw table and looked around to see who all was there. She smiled at the girl who looks about her age. "Hey." Ty nodded to her and fiddled with her blonde hair.

Damon smirked and walked up behind Taylor, hugging her lightly, "Hello, mon amour." He kissed her cheek lightly before letting go of her.

Taylor jumped a little and smiled. She turned a little bit to see him, "Hello to you, handsome." Tay kissed his cheek in return and twisted one of her blonde curls, "Care to join me at this table for a bit or was you just stopping by on your way to the Hufflepuff table?" Taylor looked at him.

He smiled and sat down next to her, "And who would I be talking to at my own house table? I haven't seen Min. around in weeks." He shrugged and looked at her, "Plus no one is worth being around as much as you... Especially seeing what today is." He smiled and pulled out a small wrapped box that held the first part of her gift, "Happy birthday, Taylor."

Taylor shrugged, "I dont know." She frowned, "Yeah... I havent seen her around in a few months... though I thought that was just because I barely came down from the common room..." Tay blushed and smiled, "You are sweet, Damon." Her eyes lit in delight as he handed her a box. She opened it and smiled. Taylor looked up at him, "It is goregous... would it be bad if I wore this AND the M necklace at the same time?"

"I don't know how well the emerald would match the sapphire but if you wanted to you could." He smiled and opened the locket lightly, there being two pictures of them together, one of them staring lovingly at one another and the other of him and her smiling as if a camera had taken the picture, "But you'll have to wait until a little later for the rest of your gift."

Walking into the end of term feast, Stella knew she'd done everything she could. Both to try to help the Eagles win the house cup, which she'd noticed they hadn't quite managed, and to make this last term as fun as she could. It had been a rocky start, and it had really only been Christmas and then Marie's wedding that had honestly broken her out of the near-depression she'd been in at the beginning of term, but by now she was back to her old self. Strangely enough, the final exams had helped with that, or most accurately, working on that hinkypunk act with Blue which had seemed to have gone as well as it could have. Acting always put her in better spirits, and after that everything else had just seemed to go by quickly and easily. Leading to her smile as she'd walked in.

Although, she couldn't deny there was still a part of her that was going to miss this. The castle, the professors... She glanced up toward the staff table as she'd gotten to her seat only to notice that there were only a few professors even there yet. She'd smiled at Professor Romanos and Professor Elwood, though, along with the headmaster and Professor Williamson. The Care of Magical Creatures professor almost looked as off as he had last term, however, which caused her smile to flicker slightly. Hopefully nothing was wrong, which also extended to curiosity about the missing professors. They might just be late, but knowing Hogwarts, the likelihood of things being simple was slim. Either way, she had to wait for the feast to officially begin, so she let her eyes wander more. Looking for anyone that she could talk to, as there were still people here she wanted to say goodbye to, or ask if they were going to be alright (in the case of a couple other seventh years who she knew had been having difficulties earlier in term. Although Ellie could have gotten buoyed up by the Quidditch win.)

He seems to have accumulated a whole lot of stuff since term started, and it took a while for this Ravenclaw to itemize (yes he has a list) and pack everything into his luggage in a good OCD orderly fashion. He swung by the hour glasses and and found himself sighing for a bit before turning towards the Ravenclaw table. Then found his Herbology partner with her attention directed towards the Staff table "Hey there Stella..." he greeted the brunette. He remembered her being a year ahead of him, hence his pensive smile, "All packed and ready to go?" and he needn't have added For the last time...

Nicki sat down at the table she couldnt believe yet another year had come to an end soon she will be in her 4th year, she sat there queitly she hadden ment alot of new friends this year and she hadden seen a lot of her old. she just wished she wasnt so shy. she thought to herself next year i am going to be the most loudest out goingest person in the entier school.

Nigel sat down at the table happy he was not the first one here. He did not like being the only one sitting down at a table. It was just weird for him.

But wow, he was now basically done with his first year at Hogwarts. This year went so fast Nigel thought. He was happy he had some really good memories of his first year. But he did not know if he want to go home just yet.

He now waited to see what would happen because this is his first end of term feast. He started look around his house table and see who else was here already.

Gwen couldn’t believe how fast this term was over… Before going to say goodbye to her friends and to the seventh years that she knew from the other houses, the girl headed to the Ravenclaw table. Since there weren’t very many students already there, it made it easy for her to spot her friends. She gave a small wave to Elliot, who she had spotted from a considerable distance, sitting at the other end of the table.

With a quick look around, the fourth year noticed who else was there at the table, but since almost everyone was busy talking to other people, already involved in other conversations, she took a seat and decided to stay around a bit longer before going to the other house tables… She was probably going to have enough time anyway before the headmaster starts his speech.

Taylor smiled at him then the smile grew as she saw the pictures. Tay turned slightly and lifted her hair, "Will you?" She wondered what the rest of her gift would be, "How much longer? The train ride or on the way home or at home?" Taylor would of turned around and looked at him but she already turned around and asked him to put the necklace on.
Taylor saw a girl slightly older than her that she never talked to despite being in the same house and all. She smiled then excused herself from her conversation. Tay went over to her, wondering if the girl was lonely or just not wanting to be talkative. "Happy that it is the end of the term?" Taylor gave a warm smile and glanced at the girl. Oh yeah... should offer my name as well... "I am Taylor by the way."

Damon smiled and clasped the necklace and as he had the last time smoothed out her hair afterwards, "It'll be on the train... Be a little more quiet for you to actually hear me." He lightly turned her back to face him, "I just hope you'll like it."

Taylor smiled and let him turn her. She fluffed out her blonde curls and giggled, "Coming from you, I am sure I am going to absolutely adore the rest of the gift though you didnt have to give me anything, ya know?" Tay glanced at him then started to think about what to give him for his own birthday in July. Taylor sighed as she thought and it was a bit obivious that she had accidently tuned him out a bit while thinking. She twirled one of her curls around her finger, thinking as well as biting her lip. Tay probably would of had twirled her ring as well but her hand was, of course, still twirling the one curl.

Damon smiled and shook his head, "I didn't have to... but I wanted to," He chuckled and as she started to think he shook his head, waiting for her to snap out of it, he felt he knew what she was thinking about, "You don't have to get me anything."

Taylor came out of her thinking and glanced at him. Turning his words back on him, she smirked, "I dont have to but I want to." Tay smiled sweetly at him and laid her head on his shoulder. Taylor glanced up at the staff table, watching the professors and headmasters talking.

Elliot jumped when the girl told her hello...it had somewhat scared her. She had just been minding her own business...thinking about going home...

"Oh, er, Hello..." she replied, raising an inquisitive eyebrow at the other girl. Hmph.

And then some puffer came over and the girl began to talk to him...Elliot coughed. Couples. Always obnoxious, and they never failed to make Elliot want to PUKEEEE!

Elliot saw Gwen wave to her, and the blonde shot back a smile and a wave as well. MAybe she would move away from couple of the year over here and sit next to Gwen...hmm...

Damon chuckled, "Alright... But don't strain yourself, what I want from you would limit to just spending the day with you." He smiled at her.

Taylor smiled at the girl after talking to her boyfriend for a few moments. "Glad to have the year ending?" She wondered if she was the only one who didnt want it to end just yet. Tay had noticed the raised eyebrow and the cough, "I am Taylor by the way." She smiled but didnt introduce the hufflepuff because Taylor figured that the girl wouldnt care about the hufflepuff and not all conversations had to have that certain puff in it.

Taylor smiled, "I wont... I just need a bit to think about what to get you." Tay chuckled and lifted her head off his shoulder, looking around the hall, trying to see if she could find any of her friends. She hoped that her adopted sister wouldnt come up and turned them into badgers again... Taylor could see Ameliah doing it despite the staff people being close by.

Damon chuckled, "I just told you what you could give me," He kissed her forehead, "Nothing would make me happier than just to spend my sixteenth birthday with you." He smiled at her.

Elliot looked around again, and then back at the other claw. She really wanted to say MERLIN YESSSKDAKHFKHFKH!!!! But instead, all that came out, "I suppose I'm glad." Yep. Elliot shrugged. "Term has felt extra long. I miss my family a bit..." A bit. Well that was an understatement. But she would miss all her friends...Presley...definitely Hannah...even new ones, like Gwen...and Jayden...waaah. Elliot was suddenly sad. But it wasn't like she wouldn't see them in Diagon Alley.

Taylor. Common name, it was. "Well, Taylor, I'm Elliot. Elliot Morganzo..." she replied, sounding like a grand queen or something as she announced her name. Elliot liked her name. And she was a queen...or rather, an empress....

Taylor sighed, "You are being a charmer." She lightly pushed him away, "No more kisses for the rest of the feast at least, okay?" Tay wasnt in the mood to be kissed or had her forehead or cheek kissed right now. "Are you happy about the term ending?" Taylor looked at him.

Taylor thought about it and twisted a curl, "Hmmm I suppose it has indeed been a bit long..." Tay trailed off, thinking for a bit then smiled as the girl introduced herself. She had to hold back a giggle at how the girl sounded as she announced her name. "Pleasure meeting you, Elliot. That is a pretty name. Do you know the story behind how you got it?" Taylor glanced at the girl and gave a half smile. "What year are you in? Third?"

Damon sighed but nodded, "As I always am according to you." He smed though, "Happy to go home and be tormented by my father? Yes, sounds like marvarlous fun... Maybe we'll take a trip to gumdrop mountain while we're at it..."
