It was the end of term already, and Legend was in no way ready for it. The year had passed by so fast, and with OWL's he hadn't even been in the right state of mind to realize that the days of fifth year were coming to an end. As he took a seat at the Gryffindor table Legend couldn't help but grin. Going home...that felt good right about now. He felt tired and worn out. Like an old man. Or like Vindictus or something.

Yeah...going home would feel good.

He walked into the Great Hall for the end of term feast. He was a bit sad at leaving, because when he came back it was going to be his last year. And NEWT. He cringed but brightened when he saw Legend. He sauntered over to him and sat down on the bench next to him, but not too close that he was infringing on his personal bubble. "Had a good year?" he asked him.

Legend looked up, almost in a bit of a daze. It even took him a while to realize that someone was talking to him. OH IT WAS DIL PICKLE! His year? Well....alot of his friends went AWOL but he got into less arguements AND made new ones. And not to forget about the giant spider attack."It was....eventful I guess you could say. Next one will be ten times better." He smirked. Oh yeah...you could bet that he already had plans. "What about yours?"

As Simon entered the Great Hall for the end of term feast, he had to admit for once he was ready for the end of term for the most part. The past year had been his busiest ever or at least felt that way and that wasn't just because of the OWLs that had marked his last weeks. They had had the tourniment and the ball and all the classes and work inbetween.

Simon sighed in memory realizing maybe he wasn't ready just trying to deal with the inevidatable Walking down the aisle, he scanned the few faces already at the table only reconizing a yearmate and a Slytherin he had seen around. "Guess Viky and Josh haven't come down yet," he mused to himself moving to take a seat halfway down the table.

Rubiey walked into the Great Hall, and smiled sadly whilst looking around. She didn't want to go, she would be leaving her home. The thought of going to visit Fee in Germany was exciting, sure, but she wasn't spending the whole summer there - where would she go afterwards?

Shaking her head to rid herself of those thoughts, the little brunette went to the Gryffindor table and sat down. Alice wasn't there yet, and neither was anyone else she knew, but she hadn't expected them to be here this early. She picked up her fork from the side of her plate, and twiddled it in her fingers, daydreaming.

He smirked as it looked like Legend's mind was a million miles away. It took him a minute to pull himself back to reality to realize that Dillon was indeed talking to him. "Yeah I have to go out with a bang next term. I'm going to be a seventh year and I need to leave my mark." he told Legend. He thought about the question, "I had a lot of fun and me and Selena are better than ever. Sort of said the term is over to be honest," though he was glad to be going home and seeing his family.

Still playing with the same little snitch Josh arrived in the great hall the happy expression not leaving his face. And after glancing at the Slytherin table to see if Evelyn was there, yes she was there with Destiny, the boy made his way towards the Gryffindor table and approached where Simon was occupying. Hahahahahha.

After poking the other Gryffindor boy some he moved and sat next to Simon. ''Hey mate. I am glad to see that you finally got yourself away from those books''

Kurumi couldn't believe that the school year was already coming to an end. Hadn't it just been yesterday that she had boarded the Hogwarts Express and been force to play what seemed to be the most popular game in Britain, Truth or Dare? Looking around the Gryffindor table, but not seeing any of her fellow first years or Adam had arrived yet, she sat down in an empty seat and placed one last box of freshly baked cookies on the table. She had spent a particularly long time on this batch of cookies and she painstakingly decorated each one by hand...well, the first ten anyway and then she enchanted the icing to do it itself.


Smiling to herself and running her fingers through her ebony hair that she had left down instead of in its usual side pony tail, her violet eyes glanced around the room. She saw Josh and waved at him. Cookie hater probably wasn't too far away...maybe she would actually take one of her Slytherin cookies? She had spent a long time on those as well...

Simon looked up as he was poked, smiling as he spotted Josh just as the other boy sat down at the table beside him. "Of course," he remarked with a shake of the head. "I'm not that attached to them else you would never see me," he added with a chuckle.

"You yourself seem to have a shadow," Simon mused spotting the toy snitch Josh ahd been playing with. "Practicing already for next year?"

Laughing at Simon, Josh threw the snitch up and when he did he saw Kurumi arriving with her delish cookies and then she waved at him. Hehe. Josh liked that girl quite much, especially her cookies. Waving back at the Gryffindor girl he adressed to her ''Hey Kurumi...'' by the way, he caught the snitch which was flying around his head ''What cookies do you have for me?''

Then the boy turned back to his best friend as he spoke. Yes, he was happy to hear that Simon could live away from text books and he was about to comment on that further when Si spoke again. Practicing for next year? Josh Carter practicing? ''Of course not'' he said with a huge smirk ''But i might think of practicing some during the summer. I'll have nothing to do after all and playing Quidditch is fun. '' with that he stood up, stepped on the seat and sat down on the table ''Hah. That's better''

Lexi was NOT impressed to be heading down to the feast. Not one little bitty bit. She just wanted to sit in her dormitory and pack her things away slowly and not have to worry about facing those that were leaving. Sigh.

Reaching the Gryffindor table she smiled weakly and went to join her housemates. "Hey Simon, Josh... girl with the cookies that I don't know," she said with a giggle. Plopping down in a seat next to Simon she propped an elbow on the table and placed her chin in it and commensed to pout.

Adam, after a very long and stressful week of ups and downs, and much crying, sat down on the Gryffindor table. This year had gone by so fast, thanks to all the drama he had had with Katie, Kurumi, Fee, and Edmond, time had passed too quickly for him to remember what school really had been all about. "Oh, nice cookies."Adam told Kurumi. He took a bite and the cookie full of sugar melted in his mouth, it felt like a much needed treat, his week had been a different one.

Simon looked past his friend to see the first year he had met, noticing her once Josh had said hello to her. "Hi," he greeted with a small friendly smile before turning her attention back to his friend once he spoke again. "Sounds like a plan," he replied with a nodd. However watching Josh move to sit on the table he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Nice for you...not sure the rest of the house agrees," Simon replied with a shake of the head before hearing Lexi on his other side causing his to turn completely around. "Hey Lexi," he greeted back.

"Lexi this is Kurumi...Kurumi this is Lexi," the 5th year said looking between the two girls as he opted to take charge with introductions. His smile seemed to fade however as his focus returned to the older of the two noticing her down mood. "Everything alright?"

Gosh. The end of term, already. Viky felt like it was only last week she'd boarded the train, ready for her first term. All in all, it'd gone pretty well. She'd not made any enemies, she'd gotten herself two best friends and a boyfriend, and she hoped she'd done alright in her OWLs. And next term, she'd be a sixth year! That was... weird. She didn't want to be a sixth year...

Anyway. She was getting a little ahead of herself. Walking down towards the Gryffindor table, she spotted Simon and snuck up behind him, sticking her hands over his eyes. 'Guess whoooo?' she joked. Hehe.

Lexi lifted her head and smiled. "Nice to meet you Kurumi. I have seen you around the common room but I suppose I have been too wrapped up to introduce myself," she said sweetly. She shifted her gave over toward the Ravenclaw table and sighed again.

Looking at Simon she smiled weakly and said, "I am a bit down to be leaving this time around. My brother is graduating this term and... everything is going to change." She put her chin back in her hand and stared down at the empty plate in front of her.

Sitting on the table was fun and useful since he could see everbody clearly, especially the Slytherin table where his girlfriend was talking to her friends. Grinning he waved his hands towards that direction to have her attention till he heard Lexi greeting him and Simon. ''Hey Lexi!'' he greeted back cheerfully still waving his hands towards the Slytherin table then...he simply stopped. Probably he looked like an idiot ooooor he did not care if he looked like an idiot. *shrug*

He threw the snitch up again as he listened to Simon and caught it with a cool move. Or at least he thought he looked cool. Of course he looked cool. Josh Carter was always cool. ''What about we practice together at my place this summer?'' he asked his friend ''Are you planning to try out for the team? I think you should. It can take you away from the books for some time and you can see what the real world is. It is indeed Quidditch!!!''

Then he smirked widely when he saw Viky approaching Simon and trying to play a guess who game with him. ''Meh'' Josh said his gaze on the Gryffindor girl ''Be careful Si, she is Professor Lafay''

"Ah...yeah that would probably be a downer for me too if I knew a 7th year well," Simon replied hearing Lexi's reasoning for feeling blue and offering a sympathetic smile back at her. He might have said something more but was stopped as he suddenly found his eyes covered, smiling as Viky spoke.

"Hmm I really wonder who it could be..." he mused his smile turning into a smirk as he reached up and took her hands gently away from his eyes and tilted his head back to see his girlfriend. "Bite your tongue thats your wish," he added looking at his friend before shifting a little closer to Lexi on one side so Viky had enough room to slip in next to him and Josh's legs.

"And you forget I filled in on the house team last term so I do in fact play Quidditch," Simon reminded Josh. "So maybe I will try out next year...what do you think Viky?" he added looking to his fellow 5th year with a smile.

Lexi looked up and grinned at Josh. He was such a weirdo sometimes. Good for a laugh and a good person most of the time. Heh. Smiling back at him she said, "How was your term, then?" This had easily been the best year of her life. That was definitely something to celebrate.

"Quidditch? Oh man, you should definitely try out! I am going to try out again next term I think. It is so much fun," she told Simon perking up some. Maybe she ought to not be so bummed out about things. She still would have time with her brother. That was what mattered, right? Right!

Adam looked a little wear and tear, more so than usual anyway. Kurumi hadn't really been able to spend as much time with him as she had done previously since she had been obsessing over her final exams. Come to think of it, she hadn't really had much contact with people in general outside of the librarian and those she met in the books she read. "Wouldn't be a feast without me baking," she winked as she watched Adam take a bite. It seemed to ease the tension in his body. "Sorry I haven't been around a lot lately," she said looking down for a moment. "I've been really busy with studying..."

Lame excuse, but Adam would understand and probably even appreciated her bookwormish nature.




Kurumi smiled and offered the box. Had it really only been a year ago that she had gone crashing into him in Diagon Alley? She had probably had some of the best tasting chocolate during that encounter. "Some simple lemon cookies with a cherry based frosting," she explained blushing a little.



Kurumi nodded and smiled at Simon before handing him the box of cookies. "Good evening, Simon," she said perhaps a little too politely. Then again, she had only met him a handful of times and seemed, to put things bluntly, much more mature than Josh was...so politeness seemed in order.

Her attention was then drawn to the Gryffindor girl who had joined them. Oh no...Kurumi had been zoning out a bit when Simon introduced them. Kurumi had been staring at the girl's dazzling blonde hair...it was really really pretty..."It's nice to meet you too," she blushed bowing her head slightly. Gah! She was still doing that. Then again, she was going to be back home in Japan in a few days, so probably good to get back into that routine.

Lexi smiled sweetly at Kurumi and nodded her head. hehe. Of course it was nice to meet herrrr. No, just kidding. Lexi looked out across the sea of students to the Slytherin table trying to catch a glimpse of her brudder. Sigh. He was so not there that she could see. Other than Dylan she really wanted to see Monique before she left to go back to France. That was going to be a tough one to say goodbye to as well. Boo for having to say goodbye. COuldn't she just hide under the table until it was time to leave? She actually peeked her head underneath the table to see if there was room under there. Meh. Maybe later.

Brant was tired and he didn't want to leave!. He plopped himself down and started to eat slowly, he was going to miss this place.

Lexi caught sight of Brant as he came in looking rather morose and sighed before excusing herself from Simon and the others. Giving them a smile she went to join Brant. "Hey Captain. I am going to miss you so much next term. You really were a great Captain and Prefect, Brant," she said softly as she leaned into him nuding him a bit. She was NOT going to get upset... she was NOT.

Brant was chewing his food when Lexi came upto him. "Thanks Lexi, Hope your going to play quidditch next year, I really don't want to leave. Hogwarts is the best." he said. He was going to leave all of his friends, alteast he will get to see Miranda more. Oh and he has to find a job.

Lexi smiled at him and patted his shoulder. "I can't imagine how hard it must be for you and everyone else that is leaving. It kills me to leave for the summer. And if I have time between studying for OWLs and everything else, then yes I will definitely continue playing. Not that I am that great... but I enjoy it so much," she said in a small voice. Dabbing at the corners of her eyes she smiled and asked, "So what is next for you, Brant? Got any big plans?"
