Ella kept munching away, thinking about home.

Jordan walked into the great hall. This was the last time that she would be in here. Only tomorrow she would no longer be a student at Hogwarts. She was saddend by the thought of that. There were so many good memories here. This is where she had met some of her best friends, one imparticular. She just couldn't believe that it would soon be over.

She grabbed a plate and began to eat her last meal at Hogwarts. She looked around looking for any of her friends or just anyone to talk to. She knew that it was the last day of term but it still wasn't too late to talk to someone who she didn't know before.

"Hi," said Ella to a 7th year girl who looked a bit sad. "What's wrong?"

Jordan looked up at the girl who had just said hello to her. She looked like one of the younger students but not a first year. She did look older than that. The girl had noticed that something was bothering Jordan. She must have been observant because normally she could fool most people and hide her sadness. "Oh nothing's really wrong, just thinking about how this will be my last night at Hogwarts." She said smiling at the girl, trying to reasure her that nothing was wrong.

"Oh," said Ella. "So I was right. You are a seventh year." She put down her fork and thought for a moment. "Well," she continued, "Maybe you could be a teacher or something. That way, you don't have to spend the rest of your life missing anything about this school."

"Teaching? Nah, I never was the best student" She said with a small laugh. "Plus I have other plans" She said looking at the girl. Anyways she always had her little step brother Reed that could fill her in of what was going on at Hogwarts next term when he started coming to the school. "I'm Jordan by the way" She had just realized that she hadn't introduced herself. She knew that she would probably never see the girl after tonight but it was still polite to introduce herself.

"This is true," Punz had to agree, nodding her head as she reached for some more pumpkin juice. "I mean, I know you're tough and all....the way you beat those bludgers around..."

Heeheh. "Oooh that sounds like a good sized group. Not too big, not too small...heck, maybe Alex won't even notice them there." She rubbed her chin, wondering if he really would care, since he didn't care much for magic and all. "We'll just have to keep any mention of uh, Hogwarts and stuff, kind of on the DL...."

She nodded and turned from Lima to listen to the Headmistress' speech. Rapunzel had just taken a sip of her juice when she picked up on the words "good bye, not just for the summer, but longer...."

Punz nearly choked on her pumpkin juice. "Hwwwahaat?" She sputtered, trying to swallow. "Leaving? LIMA! Are you hearing this?" Rapunzel sniffled rather loudly, as this was not good news at all. Lainey and Rae were two of her all-time faaaavorite professors! And they weren't the only ones going, too!

Such a sad way to end the term.

Penny looked up when she felt a pair of arms go around her. She smiled and kissed Mads back. "Hey yourself. I am good. You should know better about asking that. You of all people should know that awnser." she said teasing him. Penny thought of a few minutes at his last question. "But of course. Only if you come by and see me as well." she told him with a smile. She reached up and tapped his nose.

"Right on. Maybe I will see you at Mads sometime." Penny said. She watched Kayla look over at the Slytherin table and then duck her head. Penny raised her eye brow at what Kayla's reaction. 'I just missed something.' she thought to herself.

"Oh that'll be awesome" Kayla replied with delight. "And maybe you and Mads can come over to my place as well. I have already invited Mads to come and visit but you are more than welcome to come along as well, Penny. It should be fun."

Kayla noticed Penny's look and she grinned at her sheepishly. "Nicholai and I made up" she stated.

"I'm not the best student either.... oh well," she said with a smile. "I'm Ella DeParra," she said. "I'm in second year." She held out her hand to shake Jordan's.

She laughed so hard there. "You are making me sound like that little boy did. With the linebacker talk and all." She knew that Pretzel would know exactly what she was referring to.

She then raised her brow. "On the DL? Why?" Then it hit her. Her brother must not care for Wizarding stuff. "Gotcha," she then added, winking mischievously.

She sat with Pretzel in sadness at that announcement. "It always makes me sad when Professors leave," she said sniffling along with her friend.

Lima's ears perked up as she heard Kayla's last statement. She hadn't meant to hear it, but she did. "You and Nico are back together? That's amazing. I'm happy for you." And she really was. She suddenly felt silly for resenting Kayla.

Penny smiled at Kayla. "That sounds like a plan. It will be fun." she said. Getting to spend time with family and friends was the best thing ever. "That is Great!" Penny said when Kayla told her about them. "I am so happy for you too!" she said with a smile.

Jasmine hid her laughter behind her hand as Rapunzel managed to get butter in her hair, and crumbs all over her robes. Well, no one will notice anyway, since the butter matched Punz's golden locks.

Jasmine returned an icy stare to Punzle and said cooly, "Yes, I remember Mum and Dad helping him move in, but I was unsure of when we would be visiting dearest Alexander."

After taking a sip of her pumkin juice, Jasmine continued, "Well, muggles will be more fun to hang out with than you, who needs someone to look after her all the time so something doesn't go horribly wrong...like your LIFE."

Jasmine was surprised at how offensive she was getting, so instead of adding fuel to the fire, she removed herself from the table.

At this comment Whitney raised both of her eyebrows. "Honey, you're good,but snog-ten-or-more-French-guys good? Hmm..." she said seriously. Than,not able to hold it in any longer she started laughing and gave Lima a big hug. "Oh you know I'm kidding. Best looking Huffie I know.

Just as she was going to say your welcome to Lima, she started cracking up again. 'Wow, I must be funny' she thought. "Oh I've planned it all out. First, you lose." she said. Whitney really did know how to get a polar bear. "Than we take a flight to the North Pole,say hello to Santa and make our way out into the wild. Once we've found the perfect polar bear, no it cannot be just any polar bear, we give it some chocolate." She said, assuming polar bears liked and could eat chocolate. "After that, it'll love us. Lastly we sneak it on the plane back here and hide it in the Slytherin Common room" Finishing, Whitney had a huge grin on her face and was waiting for Lima's reply.

Kayla looked at Lima in surprise. "Oh...well thanks Lima, that's really nice of you to say" she looked over towards Maddox with a confused expression. One moment Lima was staring daggers at her and the next she was being nice. And then it hit her and she looked back at Lima, the girl didn't honestly think that something had gone on between herself and Maddox now did she?

"Thanks Penny" Kayla replied with a smile. "I can't believe we wasted a whole year on being apart but we're back together now and that's all that counts as far as I am concerned" she looked back over towards the Slytherin table once more and couldn't keep the smile off her face.

Punz had to snort at that comment. Little Lucas was the cutest - and craziest - child she had ever met. Really, calling Lima a mini-fridge. "HAaaaa maybe he had a point, you know," she said slowly. "I'm pretty tough too. Ironpuff tuff."

Nodding as Lima got her drift, Punz took a bite out of her roll and then swallowed.

"I know! It's like..." she dropped her voice and leaned towards her friend a little, "what if their replacement is evil and mean and and just like those horrid Ministry professors?! Yikes!"

Rapunzel sat back up again when her little sis started speaking again. For some reason, she had waaaay too much attitude for the lil Huffie table. "Oh please, Jasmine, I do just fine. I mean, I even made the Top 5 Huffie students this term." She stuck her tongue out at her sister, just kidding though, and was shocked when the girl up and left!

"Oh, um...I'll see you on the train then, sis!" Punz called after Jasmine. Uh ohh, something's wrong with her...

Penny smiled back at Kayla. "Your welcome." she replied. She listened to what Kayla said. "A whole year? That is crazy." she said shaking her head. Sure Penny and Nico had a "past", but she wished him all the best.

She nodded and said, "I'm snog-a-dozen-French-guys good." HAHA!
And suddenly she was pulled into a hug. Smiling, she returned it. She blushed, saying, "thank you. But I'm nothing special." She shrugged.

She started laughing so hard she couldn't breathe. "That has to be the best plan I ever heard in my life." Geeze, this girl was something else.

She turned scarlet as Kayla was obviously piecing things together. Now she felt like a bigger fool. Clearing her throat uncomfortably, she said, "when did that happen?" She knew that she was being a bit nosy, but she couldn't help it.

"True, and I'm really like a mini fridge." She started laughing really hard. That little boy was so cute. She really wanted to get to know him batter next Term.

She squealed at the next comment and almost choked on her potatoes. "Please don't say that. I can't stand another Melita. I want my last Term here to be nice." And when she said that, it hit her that she only had one year left. She started to feel sad already. "I don't want to Graduate, Pretzel," she said sadly.

Lima looked up when she heard Penny. She hadn't even noticed that she had arrived. "Hey, Penny!" she called out happily.

Miranda had been sitting quietly next to her captain. She was munching away on a piece of toast that she had attacked with jam, when she suddenly started to cough at the words of the headmistress.
Menace!? Oh noes, what menace, where?

Absentmindedly, Miranda started to pat Rapunzels back when she almost chocked on her juice. She was a bit shocked at the news, she hadnt really met the professor exept for that one DADA lesson, and she seemed really nice. But who would be replacing her?

This was a bit worrysome, but hopefully it would be allright.

ooc: sorry if im messing up the sitting arragement and sitting on someones lap lol

Maddox went back to pretending she didn't exist anymore. It was more fun to see her cringe that way.





Maddox smiled and winked. "I'm sure we will." He said very flirtatiously and wiggled his eyebrows. He chuckled a smidge at the thought, but he knew they would have fun. Kayla was a great friend.


Maddox raised his left eyebrow, always his left, and said "Makes you want to what, precisely?" He grinned mischievously and chuckled at her wink. She was adorable. If she wasn't Nico's girl he would so be into her.


Maddox grinned from ear to ear. He was so happy to hear that. He knew Nico had to be ecstatic. From the look on Kayla's face he could tell she was extremely happy. "Thats great Kayla! I'm so happy for both of you. Is he gonna come to Greece as well? You both should come and visit me. Of course you don't have to bring him every time." Maddox smirked, and pondered the thought of going to his Mansion in France to check on things over the summer. He leaned in and whispered again so that Lima couldnt hear, "I might be going to France this summer, so if both of you would like to come...I would love it if you would accompany me." He hoped she would guessing what he was referring to. He didnt want to talk about his estate infront of Lima, mostly because she didnt know about it, and he didnt want her to.






Maddox grinned mischievously at Penny and said, "I know i just thought I would ask. C'mon im sure you can take them all by now." He smirked at the thought of Penny coming to visit. It would be fun to have her over, for...recreational purposes. "well you are welcome anytime you want my love. What shall we do when you are here though?" He smiled and burrowed his face into her hair, tacking in her comforting scent.

"Too true" she said laughing. "I'm sure there are a few people who think other wise." Whitney glanced around the table. Surely one of these guys,if not her ex, liked her.

"Don't hurt yourself," she told Lima, handing her a glass of pumpkin juice. "Isn't it? It took me three years to fully think it up." she said truthfully. Who'da thunk someone like Whitney could think of a half proof plan. "Now, I say we get started now,since we all know how this is going to turn out." she added with a snort.

"I know" Kayla replied with a sigh. "Because of my insecurities I almost let go the best thing that has ever happened to me" she gave Penny a rueful smile. "Not something I'm ever going to repeat let me tell you."

"Just before the feast actually" Kayla answered and then she leaned over towards Lima. "Look I don't know what happened between you and Mads and I don't want to either. But nothing ever happened between Maddox and myself and nothing ever will. He is one of my best friends and that's all" she hoped that cleared things up between herself and Lima.

Kayla chuckled softly. "Never you mind Darcy, I'll leave it up to your imagination. Don't want to corrupt the younger ones with our naughty talk" she teased giving him a wink.

"Thanks Mads, I am so happy right now that I could jump on the table and start singing" not that she ever would of course...she was definitely no singer. "I'm hoping he will come and visit me and of course we will come and see you." Kayla leaned in closer to Maddox, so that she could hear what he was saying. "Maddox it would be my pleasure to come to France with you and I am quite sure that Nico would be agreeable to. This is turning out to be quite the adventure isn't it?"

Penny looked for the other voice that called out to her. It was Lima. "Hello Lima how are you?" she asked the other girl. She has not seen her since they were in the common room.

Penny shot a glare at Mads. "Of course I can take them all. It is more fun when the twins are on my side." she told him. There were times when Preston would sneak up on her and the others would attack, but she stood her ground. Penny thought about what they would do while she was visiting him. She smiled at her thoughts. "I know. You know, I have not the slightest idea. I am sure we could come up with something." she told him. She giggled when he burrowed his face in her hair. She leaned back at smile at him and the she kissed him.

Penny listened to Kayla and smiled. "You know what, it happens to the best of us." she told her. Penny could see how happy Kayla was and she knew that Nico was probley just as happy. Penny laughed at Kayla's last comment. "I so don't blame you there honey." she told her.

"Aww Lima, no, you're more like, um," Punz bit her lip to keep from giggling. "You're a princess! Yeah, built like a princess! Er..." WOW that sounds awkward. "You're just you. Awesome you." She half-hugged her friend from the side. Ah where would she be without McShifty?

Hogwarts certainly wouldn't be the same without Lima, and it wouldn't be the same without her dear professors. "I agree, bud, I agree," Punz nodded and twirled her fork around some greens on her plate. "Don't talk about that though! EEP!" Rapunzel put her hands over ears melodramatically, signaling that she really didn't want to think or speak about not going to school with her friends....even if it did have to happen eventually.

"Oh, thanks," Punz mumbled to Miranda, just now realizing that one of her favorite firsties had been sitting alongside her all along. "Are you looking forward to summer, Miranda?"

She was glad when he finally stopped looking at her like that. She was starting to get tired of it right now. She was tired of these feelings, positive and negative. She was tired of loving and hating him at the same time. So she was happy to just pretend that he wasn't there either.

Lima shook her head. "Nah, I don't think so." The only boys that had ever found her attractive were her exes. And Nico, who called her beautiful at the Halloween party. But that was nothing, and Mads and Kyler had no feelings for her anymore. Though she didn't really care as far as Kyler was concerned. Mads on the other hand...

She rolled her eyes. "I think that you are getting ahead of yourself a bit." She raised her brow. "You've been planning this for three years?"

"That's awesome!" she exclaimed. Then she leaned in to hear what the girl whispered to her. She felt a wave of relief rush over her at those words. She whispered back, "thank you." She was glad that Kayla wasn't mad at her. "Let's just say that me and Nico have been in similar situations..." she added, now frowning slightly. One day she might tell Kayla what had happened. She wasn't sure yet.

Lima smiled. "I'm good. you?" It was true too. Sorta. She was fine except for all the hurt that Mads had been causing her. She was glad for Kayla and Nico at least.

"Oh Mylanta!" she said slapping her hand to her head. "Am I really that bad Pretzel? A Princess?!?!" She was now wringing her hands, feigning being distraught. She sniffled as she returned the half-hug.

She nodded at her friend and was about to say something to her when she put her hands to her ears. Raising her brow she muttered, "if I'm leaving next Term, I'm taking you with me." he half-hoped that Pretzel would hear that.
