"I'm sorry to hear, I hope it heals very quickly" Katie said, smiling sweetly, she didn't like people see hurt or sick, she hoped they healed very quickly, and she would do anything she could to help them.

Oh yeah her name! "Its a pleasure John, I'm Katelyn, but you can call me Katie, everyone does" Katie winked putting her hand out for him to shack.

Maxwell smiled. "Sometimes, the busyness is a part of the magic sometimes. not to mention there's so much to see and discover and so much of the city that's still the way it was when it became a city. it's an adventure in it's self."

"Nah it's okay, there's not much pain anymore. My cast is actually ready to come off anytime. Probably on the way back home." John said with a smile, showing of his defined dimples on his face.

"The pleasure is all mine..." John replied as he smiled back and shook her hand as he wiggled his eyebrows and giggled.

Kurumi didn't notice the confused look on Pips face as she tried to peer around the crowd of students to see if the little elf was there. She didn't want to go running around the Great Hall or crowd the area since, well, no one really liked being crowded and she was sure Hoppity would feel the same.

Her attention returned to Pips as he gave her. "I-I am sure the Headmaster won't make you or any of the other elves leave the school," Kurumi said with a small smile. "And I am sure that he will not force you to give up the little guy either." The Headmaster wasn't cold hearted. "But...if it will make you feel better...I can go speak to him with you."

Whether or not the words of a fourth year would really weigh that much in the grand scheme of things was an entirely different matter. Still, she would try her best not to let her family friends down.

Kurumi looked at the Ravenclaw boy who...had left...and had now come back with the same message. Kurumi blinked a few times in confusion seeing as Professor Bentley had been standing right next to Professor Scabior, but it could have been easy to miss her with all the running around and falling banners.

Then, she heard Professor Bentley speak and Kurumi felt a wave of relief wash over her. Good, the little guy was asleep and safe, but she was able to catch a glance of the Headmaster as he made his way back to the staff table with a rather cross look on his face. Oh Merlin...this wasn't looking good.

Kurumi's head spun back around to look at Pips and she chewed her bottom lip. "I'll try to think of something, Pips, I promise," Kurumi nodded as she took off towards the staff table.

It hadn't surprised her that Kurumi stood up for the elf, the girl was rather passionate about her kind. Standing by the Gryffindors, she flashed Kourtney a smile... such a sweet girl.

Clapping her hands together with very little enthusiasm, Seren listened to the end of Tates speech. Yes, well done Slytherin. And finally! There was food to be consumed.
"Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to seeing you all next term."
She gave the lions a polite nod and then summoned her socks. Yes... she NEEDED her socks!

Still barefoot, carrying her boots and socks, she turned and headed back to the Staff Table.

The blonde Malfoy heard her name and turned towards where the voice was coming from. She couldn't help but smile as her tall Gryffindork made her way over to her. "Braeden!" she cried as he hugged her tightly and the blonde returned his firm hug. Merlin. She would probably never be able to get a true Brae hug every day at Hogwarts anymore. The blonde grinned at him again. They had been through a lot together: being stuck on an island, drama, loopy pirates, and butter beer spills. They were the dynamic duo. Yet today the dynamic duo called Brama would not appear at Hogwarts again, or so Emma thought.

The blonde broke apart from their long embrace. Emma didn't want to let go of him. His happy attitude. Her Braeden Stonem. The blonde blinked her warm hazelnut coloured eyes. "I can't believe your graduating. I'm going to miss you loads. How do you feel?" she asked, quickly blurting out her feelings. Then she bit her lip, an Emma habit, to stop herself from tearing up.

She so wasn't going to cry. Nope.

Okay. She was.

Ronnie sat at the Gryffindor table, twirling her bright orange hair around her finger. She always did this when she was bored.
*sigh*
She longingly looked around for someone to talk to, ANYONE to talk to.

Anna looked up right in front of her and... saw "Ronnie!" It was hard to forget such a positive and sunny person. "How are you?" Anna said with a smile.

Ronnie heard her name and saw...what was it? Amy? No,.... Anna! That's it! "Anna!" she said happily, a smile spreading upon her face. "I'm great, thank you! What about you?" she asked the smile still on her face, it wasn't leaving for sure.

"I'm okay." She said. "The year was complicated, but flew very quickly, don't you think? Like only started to learn and it's time to return home." As she said this, she looked down at the table and thought about it. "Although it is not known whether this is good or bad... We return home." Her blue eyes brightened the face again smiled. "You found a lot of new friends this year?"

"Well then thats good" Katie said with a big smile, it was always a pain to have a cast on, but his was coming off soon, so that was good to know.

Katie giggled her sweet giggle as she saw him wiggle his eyebrows. "So how has your year been? Hope its been well" Katie asked, she knew some people have had that drama this year, but there were some people who had a quiet year making friends, like Katie, hers was just making friends, and homework.

'Yeah... Dad can't look after us, he lost his job when Mum died.' Rose sighed, holding her head in her hands. 'So we got taken. So we have a new guardian.' Rose said quietly, taking her hands from her face and holding them in her lap.
Rose heard her name, and her head snapped up. 'Yuh-uh?' she asked Ronnie as she saw her, cocking her head to the side.

Hmmm yhe Alex forgot about that! "Oh yhe will she be at Kings Cross?" she asked curiously.

Alex smiled. "Dumbledore! I'm sure I lost my old card of him... Great guy, great guy." Yhe she thought he was probably one of the coolest people that you could have met back then...

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Alex said to Ronnie. "How you dooooooooin?" she asked curiously.x

Selina nodded, "Yeah, I guess it is a nice way to end the term. I just hope that next term the food will be a tad bit better. I'm sick of Kurumi complaining about the food in the Great Hall being-" Suddenly there was a bang and the banner that she had noticed had gone down was now causing all sorts of panic in the Great Hall. What was everyone's problem? This was bloody brilliant. The Slytherin's were being a tad S.M.U.G., smug, since they won all three things this term. Whatever person knocked down their banner deserved a handshake.

But as the chaos continued to ensue she felt like the Great Hall became a parody on itself. One second the house elves were running from table to table abusing themselves, the next Tate's voice was booming over the entire hall and finally there was the great reveal that the small, mysterious thing was indeed a baby house elf. Could this school possibly get any weirder? She assumed it could, but honestly this was a little odd.

Then it progressed and got weirder still. Auggie was jumping at Bentley shoes and Kurumi's was beckoning everyone to remove their socks. What in Merlin's name was going on? She was actually slightly frightened by the crazed look in Kurumi and Auggie's eyes.

All of that melted away when Gideon actually conceded to the lunacy and took off his shoes, "What are you doing? Don't listen to-" Toe Socks? Seriously? She didn't know they even made those type of socks. They looked extremely comfortable. The most amusing pair of socks she had even worn were her fuzzy ones, but socks that worked like gloves... that was new.

"Are those toe socks? That's awesome..."

Wow, he couldn't believe what he just heard. By this, he could tell he hadn't talked to Rose in the longest time. "I'm sorry to hear that Rose." He felt truly sorry, because he knew what it felt like to have no parents, as if they didn't exist. "If you need anything, I'm a letter away this summer."

Meanwhile, the feast had FINALLY started, and he was glad, he was enduring in chicken legs, pudding, and other delicious foods Hogwarts offered them. And man, was he going to town. At one point he completely emptied one of the chicken servings. The End of Term Feast, also meant another thing, a big nap after stuffing his stomach with extreme amounts of food.

John chuckled and sighed before taking a drink from his pumpkin juice.

"This year was drama free for me. Although I didnt do much in school, so I'm pretty sure my parents aren't going to be too happy with my scores. But whatever." John said as he shrugged his shoulders, feeling relieve of finally getting over what his ex-girlfriend did to him.

"I just can't wait to go home to see my baby sister, Rosalinda" He said proudly with a big smile.

"What about you? How's it going? John said charmingly redirecting the questions back to Katie.

"Rose! Everything you saw, it...it wasn't true! I swe...swear!" Ronnie said panting. All that leaping from table to table was quite tiring...
"Now..." she swallowed. "Whatever you thought happened be...be..between me and H...Harvey is not true! We f....fixed all of it!" she said still panting.

Ronnie heard a familiar voice and turned to see her great friend....

ALEX!

YAY! "Halloooooo Alex!" she said hugging her. "I'm goooood! What about you?" she asked.
Ronnie nodded. "Yeah, I know exactly what you mean!" she said. "It just seemed to whip by without me knowing." she said sighing. "Yeah, home is good." she said smiling. She couldn't wait to see Rupert again, and meet Holli and go to their wedding. It'd be a brilliant summer! "Oh, yes I have indeed." she said with a little laugh. "I started out with about three, then in this year I had more." she said smiling. "What about you? I'm sure such a sweet girl like you has a ton of friends." she said smiling.

"I can't believe it either…" muttered Brae as he breathed a disbelieving chuckle. He was graduating. This day had always seemed like something so far away, yet here it was. He took a look around the Great Hall for a moment before returning his gaze to the pretty blonde girl before him. "I'm going to miss you way more," he replied, bushy eyebrows raising slightly.

Merlin.

He was really going to miss Emma. He'd already been torturing himself these past couple days remembering the sad fact that he wouldn't get to see her everyday anymore. It was… well, it wasn't a good feeling to realize this. Emma had become a constant in his life, something wonderful and beautiful and positive that he needed around. Life without seeing her smile everyday was simply going to be torture. He wasn't sure how he was going to deal with that.

As Emma asked how he was feeling, the Gryffindork gave her a small lopsided smile and shrugged. "A bit of everything… excited to graduate and start a new life, but a bit nostalgic. I'm really going to miss this place, my friends…" the boy sighed. "You." Of course, Emma would be the thing he'd miss most. He was really beginning to feel like he'd taken his time with her for granted, now that the time had come to say farewell.

As the girl's brown eyes began to sparkle, Braeden's eyebrows raised. "You're not going to cry, are you?" he asked. "Hey… you're supposed to be the strong one here! If you cry, I'm going to bawl, Emms!" he said with a chuckle. It was kind of true, though. If Emma started crying then there would be nothing to hold back his tears, 'cause Braeden had never been one of those guys to hold back. If the tears came, he'd let 'em out. "C'mon, let's sit down," he said, taking Emma's hand into his own and beginning to lead the way back to the table.

Rose shook her head. 'No worries, it's not as if you killed her...' she said quietly, smiling weakly. She could still joke, it was a talent, she could hide her emotions quite a bit. 'Thank you, I'll remember that. You're a brilliant friend.' And she meant it, which was hard. She was bad at the whole 'emotions' thing since she'd been dumped, trust issues, and all. Blimey, what was she going to be like with Rupert?

'Uh, they told me themselves it was true, Ronnie, why are you covering for him?' Rose asked, eyebrows raised. This was NOT like the Ronnie she knew. She couldn't believe that she had taken him back, when he was so obviously in love with another girl. Ugh, if she ever became this loved up, she wanted to be shot.

What? "Wait...what'd they tell you?" she asked curiously, confusion on her face. Great, when she had thought she had solved everything she was confused all over again!

Right, here we go. 'Harvey said that you saw him looking at Minnie in an inappropriate way, then Minnie said that they weren't going to become anything other than friends, but I think they want to, but you don't have to listen, it's just what I saw' Deep breath 'And usually what I see is right, but I may be wrong, and I just want you to be happy, and-' She was out of breath and now panting.

"Sweet girl?" Anna said laughing, though the issue did not require an answer. "Oh, thank you very much. It's nice to hear." She was still smiling wide. "Not so many, but this year I had a few of new friends from other faculties and the senior courses. The study takes a lot of time, besides I have a nasty habit of sometimes be lonely." Anna said exasperated waved her hands. "I can't as Kurumi our prifect be constantly in the society. She is very good and a kind girl, but I wouldn't survive... Sometimes I need silence" Anna's eyes were empty and looked as if from nowhere a couple of seconds, but after that, she smiled again and said "How do you plan to spend the summer? Already there are specific plans?"

It seemed his offering to follow through with Kurumi's suggestion wasn't to be needed as everything came to a final conclusion with a whole bunch of quick action and Tate finally stepping in once the 'it' which turned out to be a baby house elf was found. It was probably good seeing as Selina didn't seem so approving of his intentions, the fourth year sitting back down on the bench behind him so he could slip them back on.

"Um...yes," he replied confirming her belief, suddenly more sheepish then he had been when he first was told to take off his socks for the cause. His toes absently wiggling as he glanced down at them briefly to follow her gaze before slipping them back in his shoes. "Present from Kacie," the boy added in defense of the toe socks even as Selina showed her positive feelings.
