Elizabeth shrugged. "Telling people what to do isn't all that great," she said, before getting herself some pumpkin juice and taking a sip. After her pause, talking about being a prefect and giving it up was still weird for her. But she was saved from that by Barry then asking her if she'd seen Ravie Cale, as she referred to their prefect in her head. "Have I seen him? Not lately," she said, before she heard a familiar honking. Anyone who had been in their common room knew what that meant. "Apparently he's decided to show up," she said with a grin, vaguely gesturing in the direction of the door to the hall.

After she finished pointing Cale out to Barry, she returned her attention to Rachel. Smiling as she picked up her glass again, she replied, "The latter works. And it sounds better too," she said, a little laugh in her voice. And then she took another sip of her pumpkin juice, glancing at the staff table and wondering when the speech was going to start.

Rian glanced up at Liz, thankful for the help. As her face slowly returned to it's normal, non-blushing color, Rian mouthed 'thanks' to her cousin, then turned to Livvy.

"Devon is Jenn's older brother. Don't ask me why Jenn brought him up, you'll have to ask her. But no, I never went out with him. He's almost seventeen years old, for Merlin's sake." But I'm fifteen... "I've dated anyone except Sneeze." she realized how immature that might sound, but she was actually pretty proud of that fact.

"Precisely for that reason dolt," Cale couldn't help but toss the name calling in there. "One of the cats in our dormitory ate some of my gillyweed. I hope it in turn got eaten by Bartholomew Henry."

"Honk?"

"Oh shut it Robin," he gave the plant a little shove away from him.
He seemed to have pushed Robin into Rachel's space. "Oh, sorry Rach. Pass the kidney pie would you?" He pored himself a cup of juice nad then refilled Rachel's while he was at it.
Cale leaned back looking around Rachel, then around Sho. Sherlock stuck his cruppy head out and yipped at him. Cale glared back. Robin Honked.

"What? Who - No more yelling! This is a feast darn it!" Cale called out looking around. And then he saw her. "What oh it's you." He blinked for a moment. "Daisey right?" Cale was so out of his element with remember girl names...
Cale turned around leaning over Sho to grab for the plate of rolls. "Loss? What loss? Robin's fine."

"Honk!" Robin agreed as if to confirm his ok-ness.

"Here, have a roll." He held the plate out for the girl after dropping on Sho's plate.
"What? Who dat?" Cale said turning around. "Oh Tobi, where have you been? I thought you died or got eaten by a hippogriff." He tossed Tobi a roll then motioned for him to take the seat across from Sho.

Livvy raised an eyebrow and gave Rian a confused look. Wait-wha? She was definitely confused right now. Were they on the same page, here? “Wait. You weren’t? I’m confuseeeeddd…” she said, groaning and set her head on the table shaking her head. Fooey. What were they talking about? Okay. From now on.. She was going to keep her mouth shut. False information was being produced. But that’s because her ears were given false information. What was she going to do? TURN off her ears?

“Bu-but…… argh…. Nevermind.. Nevermind… I though you were since someone was like, ‘Oh.. but what about Devon?!” so it could only mean you’re… you know… you know…” Livvy said, awkwardly. Ick. She was not an expert at this “boy, girl” thing.

She looked at Liz, with a slight of desperation. "But.. but.. I thought.. that's it. Keeping my mouth shut, from now on," Livvy said and did the whole "zipping up the lips" motion and "throwing away the key".

Livvy laughed and gave Cale a weird look. "Okay then. Hello Robin. Glad you're okay," she said, cocking her head slightly. Was it normal to talk to a plant? Eh... whatever. Who cares? Now.. was it normal to talk to a plant as if it were a dog? Now THAT'S the question. She'll have to ask later.

"Ooh. Thank you," Livvy said, and took a roll. Hopefully it hadn't been tampered. She saw what the pastie had done to Tino during the whole Quidditch Cup Celebration party. And the chocolate frog to Cale. Eep.

She snickered when Cale called Jenn by the wrong name. "Impeccable memory you have, Cale," Livvy said, shaking her head as she stared at the roll. As if she was afraid it'd explode any moment.

Mouthing back to her, 'no problem' with a small smile.

Seeing how confused Livvy was, Liz tries to lighten the subject. With a grin, she asks gently "Is that possible?"

"Oh... yeah, I forgot about the weeds..." Sho said, looking up to see Tobi. "Hey Tobi. How're you?"

He started to scratch behind Sherlock's ears now that the pup had calmed down. The crup was currently scanning the room for any of the pets he had made friends with. He couldn't really see anything over all the kids so he just sat quietly next to Sho.

Chuckling, and glad for the new subject, Rian looked up at Liz. "I don't think s-" and then Livvy started talking again. "So." she finished, grinning. "I think it's physically possible for Livvy not to talk." she glanced over at her friend, winking at her.

Livvy pouted at the two defiantly. Of course it was. She opened her mouth to say something then closed it, her hand slapping it shut. She was soooo not falling for that. No no. The fourth year did the whole motion thingy once more and crossed her arms, sticking her nose up in the air. CHARADES! Livvy pointed at herself then her hand did da talky talky thing and then she pointed a them. She wasn't going to say anything to THEM at least. She always seemed to get mixed up.

Tobi shuddered at the thought. Eaten by a hippogriff. One of his 187 ways he did NOT want to die. Almost every single one of them involved a plant or a creature.

"Nope," he said, with a forced laugh. "still alive, exams nearly killed me, but I'm still here."

He approached the empty seat near Cale and Sho with caution. "So uh, what did I miss? Aside from the Pie?"

Laylee sat down at the table and looked around at all her classmates. She couldnt believe the year was over already! How did it go by so fast? She searched for Maura, hoping to sit by her.

His mind was racing as he sat at the Ravenclaw table. Tears were there but he knew that they neednt be. Chase never cried. And now he was trying his hardest not to. His eyes searched the Great Hall. He needed to find her. He neededm to find WHit. He didnt want to.. one of the first times he was secretly wishing she wouldnt be here but... this needed to be done.He waited and watched trying to catch of glimpse of her. They needed to talk.

Once she was done reading the letter and speaking to Reese,Whit figured Chase would have to be the next/first person she would tell. She would have to tell Lima on the train. While she really didn't like the thoughts going through her head she knew there was only one way she could go home and not return. She walked over to the Ravenclaw table and spotted him sitting down. When she reached him she said, "Chase....can we talk?" This was going on her list of bad days,that was for sure. Everyone leaving and now this. 'Peachy Perfect.'

"I'm looking for 'Lizbeth's prefect badge so I can be Prefect for an Hour," Tino finally answered pleasantly from beneath the table, as if this were the most natural thing in the world. "She lost it. I never tried one on before. I want to know how it feels. . . you know, to be imbued with power."

Tino started expanding his search, accidentally crawling over shoes and bumping knees. "Whoops--sorry Willow, and um, girl I don't know. Pardon me. 'Scuse me. I think I see something! It's shiny! What is it--" The boy's voice became more muffled in his excitement.

Suddenly, a shaggy head emerged between Willow and Rachel. "Ah-HA! Look at this! It's a. . . " He proffered the object upwards towards the light. "An old Remembrall." Hmmmm. Not exactly power-imbuing, but interesting enough.


Apparently Tino had been under the table longer than he'd thought. The table was now occupied by more Claws, and his buddies in particular (including one gigantic Griffindor). Cale's potted plant that Tino had heard about but never seen, was making a huge honking racket.

Tino liked it immediately.

"Anybody need a Remembrall?," he offered to the entire table. "Maybe it will tell you all the answers you missed on your OWLs and stuff. I wonder if it knows number fifty-nine from Charms. I toterly forgot that one."

Chase's eyes spotted Whit as she made her way over. Looking just as depressed as him. Chase can we talk O those words were never good but then again.. he wasnt about to give her the best news either. He noddd and scooted over so she could sit. "Yeah i need to talk to you too." he said bowing his head and gulping. Man this was one of the hardest things he was ever having to do.

'Yaaay!' she thought sarcastically wanting to go back and time and not have read that letter. "Umm...okay,so I guess I'll go first?" This was a lot harder than she had expected it to be. Jeez they hadn't even been together a year. "So....I'll start from the beginning." she started,and pulled out the letter. Very slowly, Whit took it out of the ripped envelope and sat,turning to Chase. "Okay....well. I got this letter not too long ago. Some stuff...has happened at home and....." 'Big breaths' Hopefully this wasn't going to end worse than she thought. "I'm not going to be able to return to school next term...maybe longer." Was it horrible that she'd rather be back to last term talking to Nico,Amanda and Raiden about helping Slytherin win the House Cup? At least they weren't breaking up with anyone. "I just thought it'd be best,for the both of us....if we broke up."'Bomb dropped.' She,surprisingly,said that in what sounded like a whisper. This was what had to be done,nothing more to it.

Slowly walking across the Great Hall, Emiliano reached to his favorite and only seat during the year at the Ravenclaw House Table. It was finally the last day of school, after such stressing lives, weeks and exams as he thought. Sure, it was time to leave home, but he just felt insecure about his next destination. Would it be Mexico or his house in Highcliffe?

He was late for the Headmaster's speech, which made him feel quite...embarassed, but hoping people would understand that he wasn't in complete senses moment.

Ready to eat his last meal of the year...he was.

Ahh! What was that noise! That loud and awful noise! Barry raised his head and saw that none other then Cale Thornton had arrived
Barry realised that she wasn`t saying anything now "So...uh what do you plan to do over the summer?" he askedh

Livvy something! Barry hadn`t known what her last name was. That was soooo bad he had to ask "Hey Livvy! Whats your whole name?" ok that was a weird way of saying it.
Barry raised his head to the quiditch captin "It`s Barry, Barry Weasley and you?" he asked just as he saw the boy come over.
Barry then saw Tobi ok no hold up any longer
Barry nodded to Elizabeth and walked over to Tobi, he didn`t care he was busy with Cale right now " Hey Tobi, I know we`ve had our ups and downs and that we`ve never really been freinds" well I thought we were but thats just me "But I..uh.. wish you luck, truce?" he asked extending his hand ready for either the loud noise or the shake that would follow

Maura looked over her shoulder and spotted Laylee. She waved, a grin on her face. "Laylee! Laylee! Over here!" she called. Suddenly it hit her that she only had one more term now before Laylee graduated...her smile faltered, but only for a half second, but then she fixed it and it was back and hopefully no one had noticed.

Livvy took a banana and began peeling it when she felt something hitting her and the others and making A LOT of noise. Er... what was that? She moved her foot around, feeling around for it until she hit something with force. Looking under the table, Livvy faced some boy who had been crawling around.... probably for some time. Sure... that wasn't weird one bit! "Uh.... what are you doing?" Livvy asked, giving the boy a weird look. "Ooh! A Remembrall! I'll take it!"

Livvy looked over to look at Barry who had called her name and asked her something. "Hmm what? Hey Barry! Uh.... did you just ask me what my whole name was?" she asked, giving him a confused look. Um... ?

Sneeze smiled at Rian. "Well, I am a bit far away from the Gryffindor table, but Ravenclaw seems homey." He laughed. He soon started day dreaming... When he came back to the real world, he looked around at the group. He moved his hand out of Rians to sneak in some food into his mouth. He felt it might be illegal to eat here, but still, he was hungry. He heard something about his camera and took out his newest one. It was about the size of a chocolate frog. "My new camera..."

"Wait, so what you're saying is now that I'm a Prefect, I'm not allowed to act like a four year old?" she asked, then closed her eyes and pretended to be deep in thought. "I don't remember that being mentioned anywhere - if I'd have known, I would never have taken this job!" she said, opening her eyes and laughing at Rian as the girl flushed because of something Jenn had said. Hmm... Interesting. "Wha- No!" she exclaimed as she followed the chocolate frog from Rian's hand to Jenn's. Mock groaning, she rolled her eyes as the girl popped the chocolate into her mouth, then turned to Rian with an accusing glare, even though she thought that a hyper Jenn might make this evening a whole lot better.

"Truthfully, Livs? Yes!" she replied with a laugh as her sight was finally returned to her, and Livvy sat down. She considered placing a charm around her head to ward off any more sneaky hands, but reconsidered it due to the fact that if anyone else should do it, she's hex whoever it was into next year so it wouldn't take long for her to regain her sight back anyway. "Hello Livvy, how are you this eveni-" she began, then raised her eyebrows as she watched Jenn and Livvy begin babbling about bananas. Amused, she shook her head and turned back to face the table, reaching for the juice when Elizabeth spoke up.

"Yes, it does sound much better - like I've got powers!" she laughed, raising her hands and wiggling her fingers spookily while widening her eyes to complete the effect. Unable to contain it anymore, she burst into a fit of giggles, shaking her head at her own crazy antics. Ahh, and here I though Jenn was the hyper one...

"Sure Cale," she replied, calming her down her giggles. Reaching for the pie, she grabbed it with both hands to stop it from wobbling and handed it over to the plant Prefect, careful not to drop it on the honking daffodil. "Thanks," she held up her glass as she saw that he had filled it and took a big gulp, feeling the sweet juice go down her throat and immediately felt more cheerful than ever. Maybe it's the juice? she thought as she held the cup away from her and examined it. She remained like that for several moments before shrugging and taking another sip. Ahhh what the heck - I won't stop drinking just because it might be making me hyper!

"Erm, Tino!" she called to the boy, picking up his name from others and jumping as she felt him bump against her legs. Gah! "It's ok," she muttered, rubbing her knees as she followed the crawling boy with narrowed eyes, unable to keep the amused smirk off her face. Shaking her head, she raised her eyes to the table again since the boy obviously had no intention of giving up his hunt when she jumped for the fourth time that evening as a head - his head - suddenly materialised next to her waist.

"Wha-" she began, at loss for what to say as he raised up a shabby looking rememberall to the light. "Tino, you needn't look anymore - Elizabeth hasn't lost her badge, it's right here!" she said loudly, pointing to her chest where the blue and bronze badge glimmered in the light. She rolled her eyes as he continued to babble on, seemingly without hearing what she had said. Sighing, she turned to the table again; if he wants to keep hunting for something that was never there - by all means, I won't stop him!

"Me? Erm, probably just relax and hang out with my uncle. I haven't seen him since Easter, and we're used to seeing each other every Hogsmeade weekend because he lives there, so I really miss him," she said, letting her thoughts wander back to her precious uncle. What wouldn't she give to be able to talk to him right now? Yes, the long letters that they sent to each other were nice and made sure they were updated with the other, but they couldn't take the place of actually talking face to face. After the fiasco with her parents, Jake was the only one left in her life and while she hadn't missed her parents during the school terms, she missed Jake more than she would admit. He got her, he understood everything about her and vice versa. It was like they were half brother and sister, and half father and child. I guess that's the reason we're uncle and niece...

While Willow didn't speak, Melly allowed herself to glance around the Great Hall one last time. No, she couldn't see him anywhere. It seemed like he was probably finishing his packing or spending the last minutes he could with... Cela. Sigh. Wait, why was she feeling weird again when she had already made herself get used to the fact that he'd never be hers to take?

But then her friend did talk to her, making the fourteen-year-old force herself to stop thinking for a while to focus on Willow's words. As usual, she couldn't help but blink at the girl. Upset? Her? Well, okay, so she diiiiid want to see Copernicus but really, she was just fine, wasn't she? Was she? Well, she thought she was, at least. Why should she be upset anyway? She'd see her young brother the very next day and that was a wonderful event, wasn't it? Sure, she'd be away from her friends and she wouldn't be able to practise magic but really, she could live with that. She could write letters to her friends and as for magic... she lived years without flicking a wand, so she could make it through a few months.

So should she be upset?

"I'm fine, Willow," Melly smiled at her friend, tilting her head to look at the girl better. As she did this, though, a strand of red hair left one of her loose ponytails, making her tear her eyes away from Willow to redo the said ponytail slowly and carefully. "Sorry, just a sec," She mumbled to her friend absent-mindedly, her full concentration on her hair. She just had to make it look perfect. Hmmhmm, she did, or her hair would be so bushy that everyone would think she was some weird person and -- wait a second. Why was she worried about what other people would think? Huh. Weird. Anyway, she had to attack the light blue ribbon now and for that her mind had to be free from thought.

A couple of seconds later, she was done and looking at Willow with a broad smile. "Sorry. I just can't stand having my hair going wonky," She said honestly with a firm nod.

It was only then that she noticed the chocolate in the girl's hand. At once, her stomach let out a quiet sound that made the tiny girl's cheeks grow slightly red. Just slightly. "Oh, no, no, thank you," She said immediately, hoping Willow hadn't heard her belly's protest. "I'm fine. And I'm sure the food will come soon too. Besides, why spoil dinner, right? Chocolate should be for desert." Her mouth should not be watering. No, it shouldn't.

"Oh listen! The headmaster's talking!," Melly added too quickly, pointing at the teacher's table, obviously dying for a change in the subject of their talk.

Rachel's head spun towards the staff table as she heard the horrible, mind numbing noise of a chair being dragged back on the floor mercilessly and to her surprise saw that it was none other than the Headmaster himself, about to give a speech. Calming herself down enough to listen, she squirmed a bit to get more comfortable, put her head in the palm of her hand, her elbow on the table and settled to listen to his final speech.

She grinned and nodded enthusiastically as Headmaster Bontecou congratulated them on their almost all round win, feeling herself positively beaming with pride at her house's achievement. She glanced at Willow then, attempting to catch her eye and shoot her a smile. As she turned back to face the staff table, she ignored the bit about Slytherin and felt the corners of her mouth drop ever so slightly as the Headmaster bid the seventh years a farewell.

She didn't really know many seventh years, but saying goodbye - even mentally - to them is hard. Even though she wasn't really bursting into tears, she could see herself at the Welcoming feast next year, practically bawling at the loss of all those older students she had grown to love from afar. Especially Cale - he's always been here... His replacement won't ever be as good as he was.

She tuned back to the speech just in time to hear the last few words, 'May you never lose your sense of direction.' She choked out a laugh - I wonder if he meant that in the literal or the metaphorical way? Sighing, she turned back to the table once more and her eyes flicked uncontrollably to the honking plant. Sad...

Laylee grabbed her things and went to sit next to Maura. "I hate that the school year is already over! I feel like I was bearly here at all!" Laylee said, grabbing a roll. "I hardly have anytime left here!" She said, but she instantly realized that that was a touchy subject, and changed the conversation. "So, what are your plans this summer?" She asked as a smirk appeared on her face. She had written to her father a few weeks ago about having Maura over for the summer. He finally wrote back yesterday, saying that would be fine! Laylee wanted to make sure Maura didnt have any amazing plans before she invited her. She didnt want her to miss out on something.

Rian chuckled and shook her head as she watched Sneeze. He was acting very sneaky as he took some food from the table. "You know," she said, smirking slightly, "You are aloud to eat Ravenclaw food...it won't poison you, or anything..." she couldn't help but laugh again as she grabbed a roll and start eating it.

"Oh, no? I thought it'd be part of the job description..." she rolled her eyes at her friend's sarcasm. She jumped as Rachel raised her voice when Rian gave Jenn the chocolate frog. "Oops," she murmured, glancing at her friend. "You didn't want me to do that, did you, Rach?" she raised her eyebrows, feigning innocence as she stuffed the rest of her chocolate frogs into her pocket.

Ooh, and there was the headmaster's speech. Rian grinned and clapped when he announced the Quidditch and House cup awards going to Ravenclaw. And now for the yummy food...
