Iris made her way into the Great Hall really early. She still didn't want to admit that this was the end of her time at Hogwarts... but she figured that someone would realise if she hid in the room of requirement; they'd notice that she wasn't there. So she made sure she got there first... Just, so she could think. Her logic wasn't making much sense to her right now... and she wasn't even sure if she was supposed to be IN the Great Hall this early. The Head Girl doubted any of the staff would mind, though.

As she walked down the rows, she looked around the completely empty hall. Iris had actually NEVER seen the Great Hall completely empty. It was strange... yet fitting, to... in a sad kind of way. She sat down exactly half way down the Slytherin table... for the last time ever.

She looked up to the ceiling and sighed; still remembering the first time she ever looked at the Great Hall's wonderful ceiling...

Fallon let out a sigh as she stepped into the Great Hall. She looked down at her school robes and realized this would be the last time she ever wore them. She wasn't going to think about that right now though. Now was a time to celebrate and have fun.

Fallon spotted her best friend and rushed over to take a seat across from her. "Hey Iris." She smiled at her friend but you could tell she was feeling how bittersweet this moment actually was.

Aurora almost ran into the great hall, her emerald green cape trailing behind her. She knew she looked ridiculous but she had promised herself she would wear this if they won the Quidditch Cup. She was dressed in a tight emerald green catsuit with a superhero cape and the words Anderson Girl scrawled across it in magically shimmering silver letters. Yup. That's how proud she was of daddy snake. Speaking of... There was mummy snake...

"IRIS!!!!!" Aurora ran and, in superhero style, jumped over a couple of benches to get to the head girl and enveloped her in a hug. "Don't leave!!" she said into Iris' chest.

The END OF TERM Feast.

Bummer.

Evan hurried up to the feast in his best manner possible. He even had a normal face. It didn't even look forced. So that was good, right? He had managed to say goodbye to almost everyone, save for the Gryffindors... and he was going to live his dream. He was going to sign a professional football contract. All was going good.

If only it wasn't his last night here...

"Hi people." Because a prefect had to say goodbye to his house too. Not only a prefect, but anyone graduating. Although there were only a few of them there yet. He just had to look strong... as if he was only going to a vacation.

Where was Marie already?!

Mordred made his way down from the Owlery to their dormitory to get dressed for the feast and made his way to the Great Hall. He looked around to see that only a few students were present. Most probably they were still packing their things for the summer. He looked around him, taking in the grandeur of the place. He smiled again at the thought that he was going home.

He then realized that in a few months time, he will be going back to this place not as a First Year. For some reason, he was excited to see new students get sorted in their House. Mordred sat at their table alone, wondering what will happen to him next term.

Iris looked away from the ceiling when she heard someone's footsteps coming closer. Ahh! Fallon! Iris grinned when she saw her best friend. "FALLON! Hey."

Because Fallon had gone down the opposite side of the table, Iris couldn't give her a big hug... Ah well. She just grinned and let out a small laugh. This was all mental... She couldn't believe they were actually leaving. Oh, but they were leaving on a FANTASTIC note. Quidditch, Gobstones AND the House Cup. It'd definitely been a good year.

The Head Girl looked away from Fallon as someone else - someone younger - yelled her name. "AURORA!!!" Iris yelled back.

... What in the name of Salazar Slytherin was that child wearing?!

As the First Year dived at her, Iris nearly fell off her seat in surprise. "But... I HAVE to leaave!" Awwww... Iris was really going to miss Aurora... "Aurora..." Iris started, peeling the girl off her. "What ARE you wearing?!" She asked, seriously. And then she got a glimps of the cape.

...

Iris looked across the table at Fallon. Iris actually didn't know what to say in response to the cape.

"But I'll miss you!!" she said, detaching herself from Iris and sitting next to her. "And this..." she looked down at herself... "This was kind of a promise..." she chuckled.

"A promise I fulfilled because WE WON EVERYTHING!!!!" Aurora jumped a little in her seat as her green cape flowed out behind her an settled, just reaching the ground. "Where's daddy snake?" she asked, after all, it was for him that she was dressed like this...

If she'd known this feast was going to be all huggy and emotional and LOUD, Evelyn would have rethought coming to the event. Eying the young Slytherin that looked...not normal, the sixth year Slytherin girl stopped in her tracks and took a seat, away from all the...weirdness. It was finally the end of the year though, so all those scowls and glares she'd usually give were all left back in the girl's dormitory.

She'd just have to put up with giving 'stares' instead. Stares were fun though! Like right now. Staring at everyone. Stare.

Although, this next year at this time, she'd be one of those seventh years saying goodbye to the school. That hasn't hit her yet, but it was something to think about and pass the time until the feast actually started.

As Sierra walked from the common room to the Great Hall, she debated on whether she felt more pleased or more annoyed. On one hand, Slytherin had pretty much just ruled the school year. They'd won Gobstones, Quidditch, and now the house cup. Not only that, Vindictus had apparently been keeping score all term, and the first place seeker, keeper, beater, and chaser were all Slytherins.

Of course. I mean, did people actually expect anything less?

...but on the other hand, that blasted dictionary-eating, Treyen-loving, hand-raising, question-asking Gryffindor had beaten her in the house points race once again. Kurumi Hollingberry had outscored her by sixteen blasted points. Sierra cast a glare in the general direction of the Gryffindor table before finally deciding she was going to go with being pleased at how this year had ended.

She slid into an empty seat before looking around to see who else had arrived.

Fallon just grinned at Iris. "Can you believe it's over already?" She really couldn't herself. She was dreading the end of this feast. And the train ride home.

Fallon smiled at the younger girl (Aurora) who had come to great Iris. She couldn't help but giggle at the girl's outfit. It really was great. She just giggled at Iris's reaction...

...Fallon turned away from Iris and the young snake as she heard Evan's voice. "Hey Evan." They really hadn't talked since that one night in the common room. It kind of made her sad.

Aaron.... was leaving..... HOGWARTS!!!!!!!

Oh man, he was so close to bawling in the common room before coming down to the great hall. But alas, he got up, put on his Quidditch outfit (displaying his captain "c") and sulked down to the great hall. He walked in for the last time as a student... And sighed. He looked over all the tables and eventually down Slytherin's- Where he saw the usual bunch of idiots.

Seeing Iris he was reminded of something he was going to do. He was excited, happy, nervous, sad, all at the same time and it was driving him mad. Oh well, put on a smile, and enjoy the show.

Aaron walked down the long aisle to abouuuuuuuut the middle, where he saw all his friends... And Evan, but he doesn't count. "Hey, you guy- OH MY GOSH!!!!"

Aaron came across a little girl in a cat-suit with the words "Anderson-Girl" sprawled across her chest. "You ACTUALLY made it!!!!" Aaron looked around at everyone with a face that said, 'SHE ACTUALLY MADE IT!'

Aurora jumped up and flung herself at Aaron, hugging him. "Of course I made it! But you're not allowed to leave!! WE'LL NEVER WIN WITH A NEW CAPTAIN!!" Auroras cape was flapping wildly as she jumped back down to her seat next to Iris. The only available seat near them was on her other side which would mean she'd be between mummy and daddy snake. But would either of them protest? Probably. She didt care really, she just DIDN'T WANT THEM TO LEAVE!!!

Because of all the nonsense going on around her, Iris never noticed Jimbo enter the Great Hall. She probably would have done though, had he not chose to hide away from her some more...

............ "It was a promise?" ... Blinkblink. "I don't even want to know."

Iris grinned. "We DID win everything. Brilliantly, too!" She shrugged at Aurora's question. Iris actually didn't know where he was... but if he had a matching costume... Iris was going to actually kill him.

Iris shook her head. She really couldn't. "No... I'm not ready to believe that it is."

...

"Back in a minute"

Iris watched as Sierra walked into the Great Hall on her own. She was one of the students that Iris had actually never talked to outside of class.

Rolling her eyes to herself as the girl sat on her own, aaaaaaaall the way down at the other end of the table, Iris decided to change that. Getting up, she walked down to the bit of the table where Sierra was sat on her own. "Hullo." she said, not sitting down next to her. She was hoping to convince her to come and sit with her, Fallon, Evan and Aurora. "I never got the chance to tell you this after any of the matches, but you were fantastic on the Quidditch team this year." Yup. Aaron picked his team out well this year...


Whatever it was next that Iris was going to say to Sierra, she completely forgot, as she caught sight of Aaron making his way into the Great Hall... in his Quidditch gear. Iris smiled to herself, then looked back to Sierra. "Hey... Come and sit with us if you want. There's no point sitting here on your own." The feast was supposed to be fuuuuuun, with everyone sat together! Yup. And then with that, Iris jogged back down to where everyone else was sat, rolling her eyes when Aaron caught sight of Aurora's outfit.

"You're completely nutters, expecting her to wear that. You do know that, don't you?" Iris looked at Aaron with an amused grin (which might have cracked into a bit of a giggle. Iris wasn't sure, though), as she went to sit back down in the seat she was in just moments before.

"Sierra, I am glad I got to meet you" William told her. " I wanted to congratulate you and Slytherin for winning the House Cup and The Quidditch Cup" William said to Sierra. " Have you see my freind Fee?" Willaim asked Sierra.

And suddenly a superhero jumped on him. "Oh!" And he caught her. He gave his little side kick a big hug before letting her go. "Oh, don't say that.... (as true as that is,)" Aaron played. She was making him feel bad... He was going to miss little Anderson girl. They only knew each other for just the year, but he had gotten close to her.

The captain was going to sit down next to Iris, but he felt it better to stand.... He wouldn't be sitting for long, anyway. So, he didn't make a face, but he gave Aurora a wink.

Aaron snorted. Aurora looked awesome. Especially with his name splashed across it. "She looks great!" the captain gestured towards her. "You're nutters for not thinking so." He watched as Iris sat down as well, but he kept on standing. She looked great that night... Perfect for what he planned on doing.

And then he looked up at the ceiling.... Looking good.

Fallon let out a sigh. "Me neither." She nodded as Iris walked off to go talk to a younger Snake. Fallon recognized her but never really talked to her. She just looked at the girl in the weird outfit. She wasn't staring at all...



...and then Fallon spotted Aaron. She grinned as he walked over to join them. "Congrats on an excellent season El Capitan." She smiled at her friend. She wished she would have done quidditch her last term, but she just didn't have the time.

OH WHY OH WHY.

This was a tearjerker! Her first year of Hogwarts and it felt as if it flew by too soon. Lola Jones did not want to leave. Since last month, she contemplated on hiding in one of the broom closets or corridors while the train was leaving... and then Hogwarts would be her lovely summer home. She would roam around it as a princess, the only inhabitant of the entire school and she would finally get the chance to live the life of royalty!—she would smuggle one house elf with her in the cupboard and then there would be no need for anything else. The food, the lifestyle, and the girl already took it to the next step. Human interaction? There was no need. Lola had ten whole fingers. TEN. And an entire box of ink. That would have been too much friends for some people already.

Even now as she entered the Great Hall, the plan was still in her head; which House Elf? She planned to smuggle... one with a cutsie name. Something that ended with -lita. Forever hers. Forever hers to keep.

Slytherin was first in everything this year and the girl couldn't help but destroy her own 'so-called' morals and gloat about it to all the other houses.

Lola realized that she barely made friends this year. Or well, midyear. That was a shame. Slowly, while she took a seat down to her table, she muttered friend-making ways she should have worked on—"Chains... cuffs... definitely chains..." She pushed away all sources of mashed potatoes in her sight in disgust, deciding to play with her food (in a professional manner) and eating it so dramatically as if she was eating for the last time while she was still alive.

Riley had definately needed to see one face in the Great Hall that night and he found her sitting away from the rest of the snakes at the Slytherin table. He grinned smally to himself, she was such a rebel that one, and then scooted onto the bench beside her, bumping her shoulder on purpose. "Hey Flores, enjoying yourself?" he asked, looking at some rather emotional people nearby.

He still couldn't believe it himself he was leaving but he wasn't about to cry or anything.

Iris rolled her eyes. "She looks insane." Iris let out a laugh and just watched Aurora for a moment, while remembering back to the start of the year. The Aurora she met by the lake would NOT have worn that... Hogwarts was doing her some good.

Aaron was calling HER the nutter?! Pssh, lies. All lies. "Only in your eyes I'm the mental one here." Yuuup. Iris let her eyes wander over to the staff table. Only two professors were here? ... Iris would've thought that there'd be more than that by now. Then she looked back to Aaron.

... "Are you planning on staying stood there all night?" There ARE lots of seats available, y'know.

Hmmmph. WHAT?!

Half expecting it to be some first year messing around, Evelyn tore her gaze away from all the hugging, emotional, disbelief talk going on and stared at whoever bumped her. Stared, because she couldn't glare. Not that she would've. It was Riley. "Sinclair." she greeted with a smirk, having inched away from him slightly. Too close. "Not really. It's..." Too emotional over here.

Anyways, "So. Sinclair...graduating, huh?" She herself hadn't really thought about it. Her partner in crime was graduating!

It was over.

It was really over.

...

Helena made her way to the table in green and silver for the last time this term. Whoa, two years over already. But anyway, she wasn't going to just sit there and be depressed because another term was over. Nope. She was going to turn on the cheerful mode and... be cheerful.

... now where was the pudding?

Dani moved to sit down and smiled at the girl nearby- she'd never met her before, and she looked younger. But, oh well, it was always nice to meet new people.

"Are you okay?" she asked her softly as she pushed back her own blonde curls and sighed a little.

the time finally came when they have a feast bedore they leave hogwarts. Jonathan has always been so excited of going home ever since. He's just beaming. He's very happy indeed. Plus with quidditch championship and possible house cup winner, Jonathan is very much delighted being a slytherin.

Sad part of this though is that some will be leaving. Like their awesome quidditch captain and head girl. They will all be surely missed. And not seeing your friends over the break is quite sad as well...

Aurora looked at Aaron, she knew she hadn't known him for long but she was pretty sure she knew what he was planning on. "It's just not fair is all! My first year we win everything and now we're never going to win again!" she said, but as she said this she tilted her head to the side and glanced from Aaron to Iris, raising her eyebrows in a questioning manner.

"Yeah Aaron, people will think you're crazy..." Aurora teased (Couldnt miss any opportunity to tease him, he was leaving now, had to get as much in as possible.)
