Violet was sitting at the Hufflepuff house table proudly in her Hufflepuff uniform wearing her matching Yellow bow. Wow, only was it a few months ago did she place that little bow in her hair when she discovered that she was in Hufflepuff, and look at her now, she had the greatest friends anyone could ever ask for and the BEST boyfriend she could ever hope for. She turned her head to see Selina come sit next to her, Violet gasped and wrapped her arms around her saying eagerly,"Sely! I am so excited to be seeing my family! I can't wait to see how big my mother's stomach is now, apparently she's 7 months now! I am so excited!" Violet squealed, "So you promise to come visit me in France right?!" She blinked her violet eyes quickly and smiled sweetly.

Hugging her friend back she smiled, "That's so great. I can't wait for your Mom to have her baby. You're going to be a big sister again!"

"And of course I'll come and visit. You know that you couldn't keep me away... actually I was kind of wondering if maybe you wanted to stay at my house for part of the summer. My Dad wrote me the other day and said you two could stay for part of the summer... only if you wanted I mean."

Violet smiled eagerly, she couldn't wait for her mother to have her baby! She was beyond excited to greet that little bundle of joy! When Selina said she would visit Violet clapped eagerly and then said she gasped saying brightly,"Oh Merlin! Of course, I'd love to spend part of the summer at your house-"[Violet gasped again and then continued,"You can teach me some of the rules to Quidditch!"

"Yeah, about Quidditch... maybe you should learn to fly first. I mean personally I don't understand why you refused to learn from Vindictus. He's a good teacher. You and Elektra both."

Okay, so, perhaps it wasn't the greatest idea to keep looking at Kurumi's hair while he thought about whether she had those highlights on nature's account or the light was playing tricks on him. He was more inclined to the latter, though.

But the Gryffindor girl seemed to notice. It didn't matter anymore, for it was all gone now. Weird, very weird.

Treyen shook his head as if that would make the thought go away and then listened about Walnut. In the dormitory, okay, he nodded, that was seven floors up. One must be certain that Treyen Lockhart didn't envy those living upstairs, though, yes, maybe a little, the Ravenclaws, but only because of one person.

Never mind the fact that Walnut was entirely full and sleeping, all that Treyen was curious about was..., "And what are you doing tomorrow, then? If Walnut gets hungry?" because he was NOT going to share his cupcake with anyone.

“Well,” Kurumi said scratching her head. “I was planning on going back to the kitchens after the feast and bake some more for the trip. Walnut gets rather…catty…when he is hungry.”

Did she really just call her cat catty?

" You are welcome" Rex told Kelley." You will do very good in HogWarts for the rest of the terms" Rex said to Kelley.

She nodded her head, just as excited about her staying in England as he was, probably a bit more. Heh. "I'll be here all summer." Mostly with Sabel of course, but she always had time for her other friends. And her big brother, whenever he was coming up to see her. "I'll send you an owl as soon as I get settled down." Cause she already had plans with Sabel in Diagon, so she could just make more plans with other friends, right? Right.

And Aaron too! She hadn't seen him since last summer. Forever and a lifetime ago it seemed. "I'll send him letters too, I'll use two owls if I have to." She would if it meant getting to hang with her friends outside of school.

When Treyen had turned his attention to the professor, Arya did the same, and the once again became lost in her own thoughts. Soon even her kneazle had left her in search of one of his play buddies. All of whom she was certain were in their cages. Like he should be...

She watched him wonder off with a thoughtful expression.

Simon looked at Treyen and then he laughed as he held out a book that belonged to Treyen. "Here you go Treyen." Simon smiled. "I think were even now." Simon laughed as he thought about the time Treyen had made him puke on the Professor door a few terms ago. "So Treyen what have you been doing lately?" He hoped that Treyen wouldn't be too mad at him it was only a joke.

Christopher walked into the Great Hall, rather nervously. He saw Elyon talking rapidly to some older boy at the Gryffindor table. He laughed and chuckled, as she was probably going on about unicorns or nargles. He waved at her and smiled, but turned to face the other direction. He could make out Violet and Selina sitting over at the Hufflepuff table.

He slowly walked towards them, his hands shaking violently. He didn't want to admit it, but unless they could manage to find a seat on the train home, this was in fact good-bye. He didn't think dad could make it over the summer, despite his ever frequent hopes and prayers. He may never see Hogwarts, his only home, ever again. He planned on sitting with his little sister on the train, as it could be some of their final moments as well. Especially their last moments at home, this school.

After he finally made his way up to the firsties, he was trembling harder than ever. He knew he wouldn't cry, but he was breathless. It was as some one invisible had repeatedly punched him in the stomach. He pulled out a shaking finger and tapped the tiny blonde on the shoulder. He had to talk to her alone, but since Selina was here, and they both looked so happy, he wasn't about to separate the best friends just yet.

"Hi..."

He sat down slowly, his eyes fixed on his hands. He couldn't bring himself to look at either of them. How does Elyon do this? How can she stay so happy, even if she knows it's good-bye? Then again, El still thought their mum would change her mind... If only she knew.

Christopher kept tearing up little pieces of bread, though he wasn't hungry. He just needed something to do with his hands, something to get his mind off of the present.

And here she was thinking that he was going to leave Hogwarts and not say goodbye to her. That would have made her very sad, but a las the boy came to see her. Cause for celebration yes? Cassie looked him up and down, like she always did but was now careful to avoid his eyes, his those eyes were trouble, pretty, but not to be stared into.

She laughed and nudged him when he said he wasn't keen on the yellow. Of course he had to just be saying that, there was no way anyone was not keen on the beautiful yellow and black decor of the huffie house."Psh, I know you love it and really I know that secretly thats why you came over, to revel in our yellowness....and to see awesome Cassie of course."

Cassie couldn't help but notice that he was smiling now, very rare occurance with this boy so she decided to hold on to the moment."Aww, I'm glad you came to see me, before we left this place..I mean..I may never get to see you again after all." Sad pout. For a moment she looked at him, then she dug through her bag and brought up a camera.She smushed her face next to him and clicked without waiting for him to get ready." Now I'm going to ask you to smile for this one. Smile and say Cassie is awesome!!" She said smushing her face against his again.

It was after the book of memories, and a bit of wandering to settle his thoughts, that he made his way over to the Hufflepuff table. So far, he had not seen Arya, and while he had tried not to think on it too much, it had bothered him a little. He knew she was probably just mingling and enjoying the feast, but there was the faint hope that it was different. A fear he did his best to squish and step on every time it popped up. A cockroach of a thought.

...

Because that wasn't disturbing at all.

A shake of his head had him pushing the creepy, crawly feeling away as he neared the badger table. It took him all of two seconds to spot his Hufflepuff, and with a creeping smile, he made his way over to her. With a sudden surge of contentment, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and propped his chin on the top of her head. "Hiya."

Fee smiled as she sad down next to Simon.They really hadnt met up much this trm and it was rather sad."I havent been hiding at all",she giggled,"where have you been hiding?"Seriously being in different houses was not too cool sometimes."I've missed you too",the girl nodded,"i cant believe that term is already over again."Time was flying by.

Simon sighed. "Well I've been really busy." Simon didn't know what to think about first, he had this feeling he would love to grow up to be a professional Quidditch Player but he wasn't sure his parents would approve, plus he had loads to do. "Well I've been thinking about my future, I know I am only a third year at the moment, but I'll soon be leaving, it only seems like yesterday I was starting my first year." Simon looked from Fee to the staff table and smiled when he saw that Professor Bishop was there, maybe he should go and thank her for being so understanding in Divination he couldn't believe how rubbish he was at the subject, well he'd see her later if he had time he wasn't going to leave Fee when they hadn't spoken for ages. "I've missed you more." Simon said. "So what are your plans for the Summer Holidays?"

She had been so consumed by her thoughts, and watching Perseus wonder off with another cat that had been granted the same freedom from their cage, that she didn't see Sabel ambling over. That's not to say she wasn't thinking about him, and strongly considering making a trip over to Griffie table.

The arms around her shoulders had caught her by surprise and pulled her from her reverie. Flinching just a bit, it was the familiar voice that had her staying rooted to the bench, a smile creeping across her face. "Hey!" She raised her arms as much as she could without jarring him, patting both his cheeks affectionately. "We were just talking about you... sorta." Hehe.

He was going to draw his arms away and profusely apologize for scaring her, but the two hands patting his cheeks like they were some rolls of dough had him staying still and blinking with wide eyes. He was sure if he made his mouth into an 'o' the pats would produce a very interesting popping sound.

An attempt was going to be made before distraction thwarted his efforts, a long 'ooooohhh' leaving him instead. It was sort of an 'o', but not nearly enough to get the desired sound. Least to say, more important matters were on the table.

With a grin and the playfulness of a young child, he slipped around to her side and plopped down on the bench, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his knuckles, peering up at his Puff with interest. "What were you saying?" A slight, jesting frown furrowed his brow. "Good things I hope."

She giggled lightly at the sound produced from her patting of his cheeks, eyes flicking upwards to get a peek at him as she patted him once more to produce the same sounds again. He was being silly and playful and she loved it, her mode picking up drastically.

Grinning at him playfully as he slipped into the seat beside her, she leaned forward and gently rubbed her nose against his. "Good things." There was just a bit of tease in her voice as she pulled back. "Always good things." Resting her elbow on the table, she slipped her hand into her hair, laying the side of her head against her palm. "Just making more plans for summer." Fun plans with awesome people.

"Oooh." His eyebrows wiggled a little, his nose pressing lightly against hers. "Good things are very good indeed."

With a grin, he watched her, tilting his head a little. "More plans? I think you may need two summers back to back if I know anything about you and your planning."

Arya simply grinned in response. Did she ever tell Treyen bad things about Sabel? Nah. She didn't even talk that much about him because she was certain her badger friend would get tired of hearing only about Sabel.

He wasn't Ivory. Heh.

The soon-to-be fifteen year old thought on that for a brief minute. "I like the sound of two summers back to back." A playful glint flickered across her eyes. "But I'm sure I can fit everything into this one summer." And she would. Especially all of their plans. Hehe.

Chuckling, Sabel shook his head a little. It was true; whatever the Hufflepuff put her mind to, she could do. "So, tell me of this epically brilliant plans." He gave her knee a gentle poke with one finger. Do tell Arya.

Violet then lightly said,"Sely, you already know my reasons..Vindictus doesn't like me...Ever since the first flying class...I will never forget that day...ever Sely!"

Violet was about to go on telling Selina how Professor Vindictus didn't like her at all until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She stopped and then slowly turned her head looking up to see Chris, her boyfriend. She smiled brightly,"Hi Chris! Please sit!" Violet patted the seat next to her and smiled when he sat down, but after he sat down she noticed him only staring at his hands and tearing up pieces of bread. She slowly pushed some of her hair behind her ear and then she slowly reached her hand out placing it on his hand saying very softly,"Chris, are you alright?" Violet tried to make eye contact with him but his eyes were directed downward.

It's always hard to leave. Especially for someone who had gotten so used to Hogwarts and hated change. But then again, this happened every year and the brunette was used to it by now. Kind of.

She frowned in thought, trying to find something that was good about the summer. Fun? No. Sunshine? This was the UK, so not really. And then she landed on the part about staying over at Caroline's for the summer.

And speaking of Caroline... there the girl was!

Her dark eyes quickly scanned the rest of the table as Kita skipped down the table towards her best friend. "Carolineeeee!" she squealed as she reached the girl, gave her a hug and sat down. A sly grin played on her face as she added, "Excited for the summer?"

"Treyen," she gave her friend a gentle nudge with her shoulder, though Sabel still held all of her attention. She just wanted nods of agreement, but she wasn't even sure Treyen knew what they were talking about since he was holding his own conversations. "Is staying in London too, and we made plans to do something in Daigon along with our other friend Aaron." They'd probably end up getting ice cream again, that just never got old in her eyes.

She shruged her shoulders lightly. "I don't even know if you know Aaron." And she wasn't necessarily inviting him since the trio did have some catching up to do, and it would just be boring for Sabel. "But you and I should do something fun in Daigon that day too." Arya smiled sweetly at him, she was so gonna fit everything in this summer.

She turned when she heard her name being squealed. That was definely Kita's squeal. She smiled. "KITTAAA!" She hugged her best friend back and watched her as she took a seat beside her. "Yes and No" She laughed. Really yes and no. Yes, because no more worries for the time being. and no because she really didn't want to go home.
