The Lions sit under a beautiful scarlet and gold banner representing their house. Their solid, shiny wooden table is nicely polished with all the place settings perfectly set. The food will arrive after the Headmistress' traditional feast speech. To all Gryffindors, both new and old: enjoy the feast!
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
AJ's foot collided with his. "Ouch! What was that for?'' With a pained expression on his face, he massaged the injury. "This hurts,'' he complained, trying to be serious about it and failing miserably. AJ would know that it didn't in no time. "Of course I did. I can tell you guys apart, you know. Well, I can tell you apart from Angel and Abby especially.'' He grinned proudly. Yes, he was pleased with that bit.
"Me? I'm good, Ian. Just sore that Gryffindor won.'' He glanced at AJ, wondering what she would think of that. Haha. That part about them winning too was a joke. Adi had wanted the Lions to win and they had! He suddenly had the urge to join Angel in singing at the top of his lungs.
Noooo! Why was she pulling her hand away? Adi liked holding onto it. He suddenly felt disappointed but he didn't say anything nor did he let any of the disappointment show. What he did show was surprise. As if he just realised her hand had been in his. "Oh...sorry...'' Mumbling. Meh. He watched AJ for further reactions. Awkward wasn't going to happen again, right? Because now the Hufflepuff was flashing back to that day at the Lake and what she had told him. He had brushed what she said off as a crush. But here he was, wishing he hadn't.

What was it for? Really it was just her playing with him. AJ could say that it was for making Benny upset, but it really wasn't. She was just curious if Adi really did know that it was her. Suuure it does. AJ had barely kicked him so she knew he was just poking fun at her. "Yeah, I'm the fun one, so it really wasn't that hard." She laughed at the thought of Abby. "Me and Abby aren't identical so that's a no brainer." His eyes were covered so he wouldn't have been able to tell.
"I told ya, you just can't win against me." The odds were not in his favor on that one. She was so pumped that they had won. Nothing could foul her good mood. Life was great. AJ glanced down the table again at Benny and Angel... she wasn't going to beg them. She was sure that Angel was enjoying the alone time with him. So really, her sister should be thanking her for that.
Even though Adi had let go of her hand it was like she could still feel it on hers. Maybe she should have just let it go, and kept her mouth shut. She was just scared to make the wrong move because the last time that she did, they ended up not speaking for months. Besides, he was right. It was just a crush. She was happy with them being friends again. AJ was not going to be be the one to mess that up again.

Benny certainly saw the grin sent his way and bowed his head bashfully. His hair flopping in front of his face by the movement. He was soooo going to be getting it from his best friend. Well anyway more than he already had been with him and AJ before his escape from their spot on the table. It seemed he just couldn't win this evening, at least in the personal department. His mixed feelings were beginning to return despite his companion's apparent overexcitedness at Gryffindor's winning of the house cup.
Speaking of which, Angel continued to sing but that wasn't all. Before he could return his gaze to her from the other two, he felt arms wrap around him. And then he was swaying with the 1st year lion and her unknown yet appropriate song before he could even think of getting loose from her grasp. Benny tensed in surprise but he wasn't necessarily quick to fight her for some reason. Even if he wasn't about to join her in singing. "Um...no thanks," he answered as polite as he could, not wanting to hurt her in his refusal to sing.

Angel giggled at Benny. "Come on cutie-pie you know that you want to sing and join in." Angel looked at Benny, she totally thought that it was amazing that he hadn't moved her hand away from him. "This is so cool don't you think, Gryffindor winning the house cup." Angel really thought it was.
Angel had no idea what else to do Benny didn't seem to want to sing the best song ever, well for winners that was. "We can do another one bites the dust if you want to do that one?" Angel decided to give Benny a quick hug. "That's for letting me lend your cloak that time.
And there they were well most of them sitting at the Gryffindor table. but the others would be here soon. Look at all of the Gryffindorness in the great hall. Whoop whoop. Her brown eyes fell on the person who she's last seen in the hospital wing. "Bay!" It was Bay and he wasn't in the hospital bed anymore. Could she hug him? She trotted over the rest of the way to the table. Zander was there he got a little wave. "Hey guys!" Kace and Emmy were already there too. They both got hugs. Was she late? Of course she was. She was always the last one to show up for anything. No boyfriend, yet? She won not being the last to show up. First time that ever happened. Lux was already too. "Lux!" She also got a hug.
Emmylou couldn't believe that Hogwarts had gone all out for the start of term feast and the end of term feast. She had heard stories from her uncles, father and aunt but she didn't know that it was this awesome and rowdy. Emmylou was used to the rowdiness because she had a large family because her fathers family was huge. She didn't have any siblings but she knew that didn't matter because her dad has a lot of brothers and there's lots of cousins in the Duchannes family as well. "Hey Cinna!"
SPOILER!!: Zander

"Hi uh hi Emmylou," could he just go up to the table now and get this thing over with because it was driving him insane.
Was it just her or did Zander seem a little awkward today? More that the normal Zander. Maybe he just wanted summer to start. Emmylou wasn't going to lie because she couldn't wait for summer either. She was going to lay out in the hot summer sun all day long because she was sick of this cold and everything. "How are you?" Emmylou smiled at him and gave him a quick hug.
SPOILER!!: Simon

Despite Slytherin losing the Cup (well so far ), Simon would be happy. The Gryffindors had put up an honourable fight and they had won. The ambitious Slytherin HAD to respect that. "ZANDERMAN!" he called out as he made his way over. Oh look! There were quite a number of familiar faces that he saw here. "Congrats guys." And the Snake grinned for his mates.
Well played Lions. You may have your victory today but tomorrow may be another story.
As Emmylou was talking to her boyfriend nad Bay she saw Simon. Her first ever Slytherin friend but her Uncle Marcel was also in Slytherin. She wondered if they knew each other. Emmylou made a mental note to ask Simon later or on the train ride back home. Emmylou beamed and waved to Simon. "Hey Simon." The third year said and gave him a hug. Her first term here and she couldn't believe that her house had won the house cup. It was amazing.
SPOILER!!: BOYFRIEND

He went over and gave her a huge bear hug from behind. A wave wasn't good enough for him. Nope not at all. "How is my favorite panda?..." he asked resting his chin on her shoulder.
Emmylou smiled from ear to ear. She was generally a very happy person but seeing her boyfriend just made to an even happier person today. After talking to Bay, seeing Kace really did make her happier but she still felt bad about Bay. "I'm doing good." Just good, she would have said great but that would have been a lie and she would have said alright but that too would be a lie. Her mood and day was just in the middle today.
SPOILER!!: Bay

"Ohhh.. its okay Emmy, I completely understand and plus I was knocked out cold, you could have just told me you came." he joked with her to make her relax some more. "but I think your one of my great friends and I appreciate the honestly…truly." she was always so good to him. "Theres nothing to forgive" he added as he had a feeling she would be going to sit next to Kace.
The girl didn't really know what to do other than apologize over and over again because she just felt so bad about it. Emmylou understood that even if she visited him while he was unconscious that Bay wouldn't even remember but lying to him and telling him that she had visited him would have torn her apart. She wasn't one to lie and she would be sure that she would never lie to her friends. "I just feel horrible." she said and shrugged. There was no way for anyone to tell her otherwise that she shouldn't apologize to him. Everyone else had visited him and she didn't. Just thinking about it was making her feel a hundred times worse.

She was being clingy right now, but she didn't care because she had really missed hugging him.
He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Meh, I'm alright. The Gryffindor reds are making me kind of nauseous," he said jokingly with a straight face. Seriously, what was up with all the red and gold everywhere? At least it sort of made him warm. Then he laughed and shook his head. "Nah, I'm joking. I'm good. A little disappointed that the Snakes didn't get to take home the cup but glad that the Gryffindors did. They deserve it. What are you doing over summer holidays?" Simon gave his Hufflepuff friend a happy grin and a wink. Then the boy noticed as the girl snuggled into a boy she was next to. Oh. So THIS must have been Bay. He gave the boy a friendly grin because this guy was extremely brave for going out into the forest and being attacked by those creatures. "Hi, I'm Simon. Glad to hear that you're awake and well. "

Before he could say anything else to Bay, Emmylou had come over. His first crush. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the ever-growing reddening of his cheeks. Merlin. Thank Merlin that he was surrounded by people wearing red because that would help the blush go unnoticed, right? "Hi Emmy. How are-" he said with a grin and was about to continue when he hugged her.
WHAT. WHAT DO I DO?!?!
Simon wasn't a hugger. The boy stood there for a millisecond of a second spazzing out before he wrapped his arms around the Gryffindor girl. Not gonna blush. Not gonna blush, he thought. He took a step back and then gave her a happy grin. "Uh.. How are you?" Awkward Simon was awkward. Uh.. What should he do now? Grin. Oh yes, continue smiling. "Congrats on the win. You guys put up a tough battle."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Adi stopped massaging his foot. No good trying to make AJ think he was hard. Besides, she knew exactly how hard she kicked him. Which wasn't that hard at all. And he was distracted by Benny and Angel. Sniggering, he pointed in their direction. "Look at the love birds.'' Benny knew what he was getting into when he moved over to Angel. He knew she could not keep her hands off of him and yet he went. In Adi's opinion, Benny liked the other twin.
"Didn't know you won the House Cup by yourself, AJ,'' the Hufflepuff said and prodded her on the shoulder. Too bad Hufflepuff hadn't won again. Puffers be slack this term. Oh well. There was always next term. "Enjoy it while it lasts because we're taking the Cup back next year.'' Hehe.
So could he have the hand back? It wasn't like he could ask that out loud. How weird that would be. "Please, AJ, could I hold your incredibly soft hands again?'' Uh noooo. Even in his head that sounded weird. And why in the world was he so worked up about hand holding? Both him and AJ knew he only considered her a friend.

Did she do something wrong? He was blushing. Emmylou looked around to see if anyone else near her was acting the way Simon was acting. Nope, just him. Emmylou smiled as he started talking bu then he had stopped. Was there something on her face? Emmylou blinked at him and didn't know if she should say something or just ask him if something was on her face. Simon was acting very odd today and Emmylou didn't know why. There was blushing and pausing while he was talking and the hugging. Was he not hugged that much?
THERE WERE WORDS! Emmylou beamed as he asked her how she was. "I'm doing good." Still feeling bad about not visiting Bay in the hospital wing but good was better than feels horrible because she was in the middle right now. "Oh? Thank you. You guys put up a really awesome fight."

LOL. Simon was funny and Lux laughed at the comment about the Gryffindors. He was a Snake, so of course he would have preferred if his House had won. She didn't not feel the same way about Hufflepuff. "I'm so happy the Lions won. I wouldn't want anyone else to." Sorry Badgers, but that was how she felt. Lux was a Gryffindor more than a Hufflepuff. "I am planning to hang out with my family, friends, and boyfriend and I'm having a beach party that you and Zander should go to." She wanted to see her friends and she thought that Simon and her could be good friends because he was so nice and she liked him already. "What are your plans?"
As she talked to Simon, Lux heard Emmy feeling really bad about not seeing Bay. Poor Emmy. "You are one of our best friends. You are a great friend." Giving her bestie a smile, she wanted Emmy to feel better.

She didn't have to look where Adi was pointing because she already knew who he was talking about, and exactly where they were sitting. Still, she looked over and saw that Angel was practically throwing herself at Benny. Goodness, AJ would feel like a fool if she was in her sister's shoes. "Do you really think he likes her?" No use asking if Angel liked Benny because anybody with eyes could see that she did.
AJ laughed because Adi had jokes. "Maybe not all by myself, but I was the third best one in Gryffindor." So she played a major role in having the house cup. "Yeah right, that cup is staying with us." There would be no such thing as another house taking their cup. AJ placed her hand on his shoulder and tried to look sympathetic. "I'm sorry that you don't get to be apart of the best house ever." No, really she was.
She wondered what it was that he was thinking about. It seemed like he was having some intense thoughts over there. "Whatcha thinking about?" Maybe he was just ready for the food. AJ knew that she sure was. "Are you going to stay and eat over here?" Come to think of it, she was a bit surprised that Abby didn't come over to say hello. It was easier for one sister to come over to the two other ones. It was practical.

Smooth recovery, Holden. SMOOTH RECOVERY.
The boy patted himself on the back mentally and just took several deep breaths in and out. Had to play it cool. Gotta play it cool. He had this interaction in the bag just like a cat.
Wait. What? That made no sense. Nevermind. He focused on Emmylou instead of his weird rambling thoughts. The cruse of an overactive imagination was what he had. Mhmm.. He smiled. He was gladdened to hear that she was doing well. "I'm happy to hear that you're doing well. Thanks. We were so close to tying with you guys. Next year we'll put up an even bigger fight," he half-teased. Oh yes. The Gryffindors could win this year but next year would be the year of the Snake. Or so Simon hoped. "So what are you doing over the summer?"
Then turning back to face Lux when he noticed that she was laughing at HIS joke. Was he really funny? A silly grin graced his lips. Then he raised his eyebrows curiously at her next statement. So happy that the Lions one? "Instead of your own house?" he asked, pretending to be shocked but not really minding. He nodded and listened attentively as she explained what she would be doing over the holidays. Hanging out with friends? That ought to be rather nice. And she was having a beach party that he and Zander should come to? Simon beamed at the invitation. Aw, she was sweet. He liked this particular Hufflepuff very much for her just overall welcoming-ness. "Thanks, I'd love to come. It'd be fun," he said.
Oh. His plans?
"I'm heading to back to Australia to see my family for a bit. Unfortunately, its going to be winter there thanks to the axial tilt and different hemisphere," he rambled as he moved his hands around. A bad habit of his. He frowned. The boy didn't like the cold too much. "But I should be coming back over to the UK for a bit to stay with some family friends." Spending the holidays in the warmth and sunshine was definitely what this boy was going to do.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Adi continued to watch Benny and Angel, each passing second made him want to laugh out loud. Benny may have wriggled out of his and AJ's teasing but he landed in something waaay more uncomfortable. And to answer AJ's question... "He likes her. He just doesn't know it yet.'' Good luck to Angel when the Dragon did figure stuff out. Adi had no idea how Benny would get those feelings out to her. He was a shy one after all.
Yes, he knew she was third. "Not bad, Valentine. Next term, try to keep up with me and the number one spot.'' That right there would motivate her. See if it didn't. Good thing AJ was a competitive one. "Don't you be so sure about that.'' Hehe. Annnd she was holding his shoulder! They weren't holding hands but he'd take it. "What are you talking about? Hufflepuff is the best, you're the one who should be sorry.'' Cue a grin.
"You,'' Adi answered automatically. Too late he registered the damage. Eeep! Moving on! "Um, yeah!'' Oh heck. Had he said that a little too hastily and enthusiastically? He inhaled and continued. "I mean Benny and Angel are too busy for you right now. So I'll just have to stay to keep you from feeling too lonely.'' Yeah, just go on like he never said anything wrong. Just joke stuff off.
More people were arriving to the Gryffindor table, which meant, for Tag, it was more chances for him to talk and to keep himself occupied with something. Not that his mind was wandering or feeling sad or anything, cause he wasn't. But it was never bad to have distractions on these types of nights, right? Right.
And here came his girlfriend. The one he'd miss the most, of course. But that didn't mean he'd miss a couple of the younger years here. Because he would. Lotus just had a special place for Tag. It was only natural.
He returned the smile to his girlfriend and asked her the most casual question. "What's up bud?" The blonde could've gone with something else, but this would always be a winner.
That was so not fair, you know? He didn't even have to say anything. She was merely here to provide the best view possible on his last feast. That was all. But then he had to ask. And her smile widened almost instantly. "That's not how it goes, you know?" That was only part of it. Also, the part she could say if she was granted permission to do so. Now she technically had nothing to say back.
Unfair, see?
"All set?" MERLIN KNEW SHE WAS! More than ready to leave this place, only she had to wait an entire year for this to happen. But it was okay, she had her best friend with her the entire time, no? Yes. The entire time. Summer looked beyond promising and she couldn't be more excited for it. She'll remind Flamsteed about the letters he needs to send out later, though, not now. Knowing the man, he probably already sent them. ALL THE EXCITEMENT.
Speaking of...

So then, not a Hufflepuff at all. False alarm, limit not reached and Lex grinned at her bestie. "A nice change from the yellow and black banners every year, eh?" Lottie, she was sure, could appreciate this change as much as they did.
She didn't bother asking what brought her to the lion table for the fact she didn't care so long as she was staying and because evident the other 1/4 of her reason was sitting across from her already making his own conversation. Yes, 1/4, we're good at math and Lex was obviously the 3/4. DUH. "Not a drop of snow. We're getting out of here tomorrow and I'll never be happier. Ugh. When's the last time we saw the outside?" The fact she couldn't remember said it had been too long.
...excitement.
...why mention the yellow??? Hmmmmm? Lotus laughed, though, and clearly agreed with her words, "A very welcomed change, indeed." She wasn't very fond of the color yellow, you see. Then again, her bestie knew. "Congrats!" This wasn't the first time Gryffindor had won since Lex has been at Hogwarts, right? No, it couldn't. Maybe they won her first year here.
Quite frankly, Lottie didn't care for this whole House Cup thing. At all.
So... she didn't pay attention.
Yes, Alexa Cambridge, you're the sole reason Lotus Wisteria is sitting at this table. This will probably happen again next year, FYI. No kidding. "Finally! It seems we've been waiting for summer to come, like, forever ago." So, London will seem a bit hotter than usual, since they've been used to the cold. Even Oleander will appreciate the heat. "I can't remember, but we'll see a lot of everything! Especially overseas!" BEAMING, we are.
THE FEAST! Finally it was time to head home. So no more snow? Was that what that meant? It was over? Because it was getting a little too tense in this castle lately. Too much Cabin fever. It felt like forever ago that Connor first got on the train and now it was time to get on again.
He felt like a different person, was this something Hogwarts did? Was it normal to feel this way? He couldn't remember ever feeling so different at the end of a term at Salem. Not this much anyway. But he felt he barely knew anyone in his house, he had a few good conversations during the term with a few Lions, there was Bay and Sir Nicholas..and of course his Dorm Mate, Jeremiah. But his closest friends were all in other houses. Hmm.
”its okay, its okay” he reassured his friend.. ”its just a bit achy and you just scared me is all” his heart was still in his throat. Laughing he got the exact reaction he was expecting from Kace. ”well were even now ya?” more smirks coming your way dude.
”gushy stuff… yeah… totally” ahahahah it was just so easy to talk to him. WAIT AHAHAH WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!!! ”omg.. what did you just say? BROMANCE? That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard” and that was the truth.. they were certainly having a bromance that was for sure. ”well.. for summer” he started to answer the other question. ”I was going to do the internship, but I think I missed the deadline when I was like passed out ya know. But I don’t think my parents are going to let me out of their site much, so you’ll have to come visit me” he he he there was no way out of it now.
Kace smirked when he successfully scared Bay. I mean it was his plan all along. "Yeahh we have a truce. I mean we could start over and then we can try scaring each other again. Whatcha say?" he offered. "Or we can scare Lux and Emmy..." he muttered so the girls won't hear him. His reaction about Bromance made his eyebrows raise. He smiled and chuckle. "I figured I would use it to describe our friendship." he shrugged. OH? He is doing the internship too!? AWESOME! "Waitt I am doing the internship too. I did my application and I got Bostros to do my letter of recommendation." He wondered if Bay got one too. "Well I hope to come visit ya...I mean it won't be the same if I don't see you.." he said truthfully. I mean it wouldn't be the same.

I mean, don't choke yourself up." Tag said, trying to ease the tension of the goodbyes from any of the people that came up to him tonight.
Seriously. He hoped no one would cry.
"TAG!" he imitated him. He just had to. "Ohhhh I won't cry over you don't worry. But I think I might do some head noogies..." he smirked and gave him one. He hoped it didn't hurt. He didn't know his own strength.

Man, had he and Bay sat down at the wrong place because it looked like a Badger takeover here. Yet he didn't even have the strength to think those thoughts because other more.. nerve-wracking ones were circulating his mind. "Uh-hi Kace.. I-uh-nothing really... Haven't really, y'know uh thought about it since uh we were trapped.. What about you?" Actually with all the harsh weather lately, summer sounded like dream.
"Hi Zander.." he nodded in return. AAhhhhh right the trapped situation. Some people didn't take it well. It seemed Zander didn't take it well either. I mean Kace didn't like being cooped up too. "I am hoping to go away for the summer but I highly doubt it since I signed up for an internship this summer.." he shrugged. He hoped he would get it. If he didn't get it, he wouldn't be heart broken. There is always next year.
SPOILER!!: GIRLFRIEND PANDA! <3

Just good, she would have said great but that would have been a lie and she would have said alright but that too would be a lie. Her mood and day was just in the middle today.
He smiled and was glad Emmy was doing well. She didn't have her usual candy storage here so he was a little worried. "I am glad.." he smiled and kissed her in front of everyone. He even hugged her from behind and told her, "You know I am some plans for us this summer and even Lux too.." he smiled. Speaking of Cucumber where was she? Ahhhh there she was! He smiled and waved at her. "Fancy meeting you here..." he joked with her with a wink.
He also saw Simon at the table. He went over and saw he was talking with Emmy. "Heyyy mate..." he greeted him. "I hoped to run into you before summer started. I hope we can meet up in Diagon Alley one day."

And to answer AJ's question... "He likes her. He just doesn't know it yet.'' Good luck to Angel when the Dragon did figure stuff out. Adi had no idea how Benny would get those feelings out to her. He was a shy one after all.
Yes, he knew she was third. "Not bad, Valentine. Next term, try to keep up with me and the number one spot.'' That right there would motivate her. See if it didn't. Good thing AJ was a competitive one. "Don't you be so sure about that.'' Hehe. Annnd she was holding his shoulder! They weren't holding hands but he'd take it. "What are you talking about? Hufflepuff is the best, you're the one who should be sorry.'' Cue a grin.
"You,'' Adi answered automatically. Too late he registered the damage. Eeep! Moving on! "Um, yeah!'' Oh heck. Had he said that a little too hastily and enthusiastically? He inhaled and continued. "I mean Benny and Angel are too busy for you right now. So I'll just have to stay to keep you from feeling too lonely.'' Yeah, just go on like he never said anything wrong. Just joke stuff off.
AJ was just going to go with whatever Adi said because Benny was his best friend after all. "Look at her." Poor Benny. He hadn't shooed her off of him yet, but it was obvious that he was uncomfortable. "Could you imagine acting like that over somebody?" AJ laughed at the thought. "I think Angel would be good for him though, get him out of his shell." In the past year Benny had only said maybe 20 words to her total. That was insane to think about.
"You're number one?" Her mouth was slightly open when she looked up at him. "It's on next year, Rehman." AJ was going to her hardest to beat him just because she was competitive. It had nothing at all to do with Adi. "Hufflepuff might be nice, but it's not Gryffindor." Look around, Gryffindor was the place to be. "You can always go visit the house cup in the trophy room." If he was feeling sentimental or anything.
Blink.Blink. "What about me?" Maaaaybe she shouldn't have asked that, but she couldn't help but to be curious. She took her hand off of his shoulder and smiled. "You're such a good friend." AJ didn't care about his reasoning, she was just glad that he was here. The lion could sit with Zander or Lex if he wanted to go back to his table. The first year hoped that he wouldn't though.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
''She looks happy. That sister of yours is crazy.'' Crazy good, okay? Anyway, Adi was wondering when Benny would tell Angel to get a grip. Even him being a Hufflepuff and all wouldn't stop him from being rude and all if he had to tell the firstie to cut it out. "Should we rescue him?'' he wondered aloud. It was sort of their fault Benny ended up over there. Plus only he reserved the right to torture Benny.
Adi laughed. "Nope, not for one moment.'' Outspoken and outgoing as he was, the Hufflepuff would not torture someone like that. Jokes were his method. But AJ had a point. "I hope you're right about that. I tried but it didn't work out.'' The Babbling Beverage and all. All it had done was made Benny unhappy and it was for that reason Adi had promised himself he wouldn't try again to change his bestie.
"Well, number one for the Hufflepuffs,'' Adi said, trying to sound modest and unconcerned. Number one overall belonged to the awesome Zander. "Everyone worked hard in their own way though. Especially Lux despite everything that went on with Bay.'' See? He knew his ruse would work. Just as it often did in classes especially Transfiguration. "Good luck trying to keep up with me.'' Some more motivation there? Haha. Adi just enjoyed making AJ want to do her best at everything and was actually glad she never figured out what he was doing. "Sure, Gryffindor is nice but we're the best.'' The third year laughed. "Why would I do that? You guys are just borrowing it for now. This time next year we'll have it back.''
"That I wanna hold your hand and never let go of it,'' Adi thought to himself. Aloud he said, "Just that you're one of the most awesome people I know.'' Well, that was true. He did think she was. She was his second closest friend, ya know. Now Adi grinned. "I know. I wish the Headmistress would hurry up otherwise I'll starve.'' Truebridge didn't want her students to starve, did she?

AJ let out a loud laugh. "She looks completely insane, but I'm happy for her." Who was she to judge was Angel should or shouldn't be doing with Benny? The lion was a big boy, and she knew that he would be able to take care of himself. Should they rescue him? That was a loaded question. "You mean since YOU went and embarrassed him." She had helped in that little situation too. "Thanks for just passing me off like that, btw." She flashed him a smile to let him know that she was just messing with him. But seriously though, should they go and rescue him? "Maybe he doesn't wanna be rescued."
"It's kind of like a car wreck, I can't help but to look." Angel was trying her very best to get Benny to sing along with her, but he wasn't having it. She even went as far as to rock him back and forth. "Maybe we should come up with some kind of code... like blink twice if you need help." Even Benny could manage that because it didn't involve the use of words. AJ loved her sister, but she thought that she could be insane. "All Benny needs is a girlfriend." Didn't things change when titles were thrown around?
"Still, that is pretty cool. I wanna be number one for Gryffindor. NO WAIT, I wanna be number one for the whole school." That was going to be hard to do. She still struggled in most of her subjects, and spellwork, forget it. "I can totally keep up with you." Plus, he was her own personal helper, so she already had that to her advantage. Pffft. Hufflepuff was not the best. Second best at the very most, but what was second place? It sure wasn't first. AJ laughed. "We don't borrow things Adi, we are playing for keeps."
A big grin played across the young lion's face. "I am pretty awesome huh." She followed up her comment with a poke to Adi's ribs. "You're super awesome too, did ya know that?" Yup. They were two awesome people. It was no wonder that they got along so well. "For real. Does it always take this long?" Hurry up and tell them things so they could feast on an assortment of tasty treats. "I wonder what we are having tonight." All she knew was that the dessert had to be on point.

Angel had no idea what else to do Benny didn't seem to want to sing the best song ever, well for winners that was. "We can do another one bites the dust if you want to do that one?" Angel decided to give Benny a quick hug. "That's for letting me lend your cloak that time.
Benny still had to get used to the nickname cutie-pie. Benny was bad enough in his eyes yet he dealt with it albeit reluctantly. Adi was pretty strong-minded in that regard and he had easily gotten others to follow along with his use of the name. Even Angel used it at times when she wasn't using cutie -pie, and Professor Culloden too. AJ's use of Benjamin, his full given name, in her vain attempt to call him back into the mix had almost sounded completely foreign to him and his ears.
"Not really," he stated looking to her as she giggled. "I'm not really a singer," the third year explained before nodding at the switch of topic to the house cup. "Very cool." As for the other song, he shrugged. "My preference to not sing doesn't really rel---" Again he was broken off by her actions, this time a full blown hug.
"Um...you're welcome," Benny said, finally easing her grasp off of himself.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Adi laughed again. "That laugh of yours makes you sound crazy too.'' He was teasing AJ again. She did have a really nice laugh though. "Two crazy firsties stuck in Gryffindor.'' And they left poor Abby out. "Hey, you had something to do with that also.'' Such a good team they were. "Well, I had to but in case you hadn't noticed, Benny didn't want to be stuck with you. I think one Valentine is enough for him so I'm stuck with you.'' He gave her a cheeky grin. "Maybe. But I'll never let him forget this.'' Haha. It was too hilarious from his point of view.
"Imagine if Benny began belting out too,'' Adi said. That would be even more hilarious but the shy Lion would do no such thing. "Sounds like a plan. We should keep that in case either of us ever gets attacked by the insane Angel.'' Adi winked. ''Yeah, maybe Angel's hyperness and craziness will rub off on him.'' Adi was always hoping his own outspoken attitude would rub off on his friend but that hope hoot a brick wall.
Oh yeah. Mission accomplished. She wanted to be number one overall. And Adi knew very well AJ could do it. "That's quite an ambition you've got there. Maybe you could ask Zander for some pointers.'' Of course, if she needed help she knew she could ask him. "Sorry to disappoint you but this is one thing you guys are going to have to give back.'' The House Cup was Hufflepuff's!
"You are. Best treasure that complement forever, AJ because I don't usually hand them out much.'' And he was being poked! "I knew I was awesome but being super awesome is way cooler.'' Yup! "Sometimes it does. Don't you go gobbling down everything in sight when the food appears, AJ. I saw you with that taco in Muggle Studies.'' Haha. Adi said that with a straight face but really, the memory of AJ and the taco was funny.

Ugh. UGH. Merlin's beard, this was bittersweet.
By the end of this feast, Schuyler believed she would probably be crying or had already cried. Or at least gone very teary-eyed with a big lump in her throat. Did that count as crying?
Regardless, here she sat at her house table for the last time as a Gryffindor student. After this she'd be a Hogwarts alumna. Graduated. Separated from basically everyone in this school. It was kind of surreal, and it certainly hadn't registered in her mind completely. Hence the reason she wasn't crying yet.
Her eyes scanned around the Great Hall. So many goodbyes, happy and sad, going on. She wanted to say goodbye to her friends, but right now, at this moment, she just sat and watched a little more.
A tough goodbye wasn't something that needed rushing.

He gave his mate an affectionate pat on the shoulder because despite popular belief (thanks to gossip spreading throughout the whole school of him being a hugger), Simon wasn't really into hugging. An affectionate bro-pat would do. Or a high five or fist pump. Those were cool options. "You doing okay, mate?"
The Gryffindor smiled weakly again, and chuckled. But it was more of a nervous chuckle than anything really. "Yeah well... We'll see about that," he would've at least attempted to wink back, but he was feeling to twitchy. So no. Not now. Maybe later after he had gone through with the deed. Then. Then Simon asked, and he knew the Slytherin would pick up on his weird mood. Simon was good at that. Understanding. "I-I yeah I'm okay..." he smiled nervously, shaking his leg under the table. But he couldn't do it. He couldn't lie to one of his best mates. "I-just-I Simon, I'm so nervous!" and just to show how nervous he was he held his hands up in the air in total exasperation.

The third year shook his head vigorously. He was most certainly not okay, but nobody else needed to know that. Not now. Not until after. So instead he laughed nervously. "I'm just... Just you know.. Nervous about the train home.. Uh... What if it doesn't work you know?" Because of the cold weather. It looked like things were warming up, but who really knew what was actually going on out there? Not Zander that's who. Of course that wasn't the real thing he was thinking about. But that's as far as he was willing to explain at the moment. Uh. Could they have their food now so the questions could stop? "Anyways.. Uh-you-you have any plans for the summer?"

Turning away from Adi, the Gryffindor spotted another friend. It was weird to say friend so much. Especially because this was his first time having SO many. Just weird. His legs were still doing the shaking thing, and he was still feeling pretty sweaty, but he managed to return Cinna's wave and watched as she made her way towards them. "Hi Cinna," and now back to staring at the empty plate and the imaginary peas.
SPOILER!!: Prefect! Lex

This end of term would be tainted for her the moment she went to the snake table, did she really want more bad news before then?
Decisions.
"But I don't see what's not to believe, we're awesome. The Hall should look like this every year." But how would she know? She'd be leaving soon enough.
Its not like he was happy about the victory-- because really, he was. It was just... It was just hard being happy when you were too busy being nervous about the rest of the feast. There was just SO much to be nervous about. The first being the delivery. The second being the Kevin thing. But he really was happy, not a kicked puppy.
That analogy did make him wince just a little. He did like puppies. "I... I dunno..." Would Lex be mad if he explained the plans with Kevin? Because he definitely couldn't tell her the other bit. "I... I'm just worried about Kevin, have you seen him yet?" Lie. Actually he'd be more relieved if Kevin didn't show up at all, meaning that they wouldn't have to go through with the plan. Ahem. Anyways.
"We are awesome," he agreed nodding his head. He really did love the Great Hall like this. He did. "I'm just glad we showed the snakes what we're made of," he smiled weakly.
SPOILER!!: MATE Bay

Culloden gave you a potion to give to me” red alerts were going off in his head.. DANGER DANGER he thought as he asked Zander some more questions about it ”Dude… do you know what it is?” he hoped he did because all Bay would be doing was to be putting it in his pocket and never drinking it if he didn’t.
Zander smiled at Bay. Ah, how he missed his first mate ever. A lot. "Bay... Do you-do you think you can help me with some spells next term?" With the sixth year being gone so long DADA and transfiguration were kind of a struggle. He had a lot of catching up to do and Bay was pretty good at this magic stuff. So hopefully the boy would be willing to help the younger lion out a bit. It'd be much appreciated. "Yeah, Fuller taught us some insulation charms... But not until a few months ago so it didn't really do much," he sighed. Like why would they learn that AFTER the worst part of the storm had hit?
The Gryffindor looked up from his bag to face the older boy again, "No, no I promise it's nothing bad," he continued searching before-- AHA! Finally. The Gryffindor pulled out a small vile and held it out to his mate. "He said..." The boy furrowed his eyebrows for a minute, trying to fully remember what Culloden had told him. Hm. He was so focused on the fact that the Professor was going to steal his bed- WHICH HE NEVER DID- to fully focus on the other potions he was holding. Hm. "Oh yeah... He said it's a claming drought... He gave something to Lux too, for animals and said that the two would go good together or something?"

Hogwarts was cool and all, but the whole snow thing had pretty much done her in.
"We DID do it, so cheer up dude." AJ fist bumped him, and flashed him a smile. What could he possibly be sad about? All of the lions should be on top if the world right now.
Looking up from his plate once more he twirled the fork with his fingers. "I... I mean it's going to be good to go home... But I'll miss it over the summer," he admitted. Actually the entire term, home seemed like the best place to be. Warm under his own blankets, without the cold. But now, now it fully occurred to him as to how much he DIDN'T want to go home. Not to his brothers. Not after this year. "Are you ready to go back?"
This one was most definitely a Gryffindor. Everything about the first year shouted lion. It was admirable actually. He managed a smile, but deep down he was still freaking out. There was just so much he had to do before they left!! "Cheer up? Yeah, yeah I will," after the delivery. If things went well anyways. He smiled again, and returned her... fist bump?
SPOILER!!: Emmy!

O________O
Hug. The Gryffindor's eyes opened wide at the surprising gesture and awkwardly patted her back during. Uhum. Hug?
Hopefully he didn't have back sweat. Merlin please no back sweat.
"I-uh-I'm okay," he lied. Nervous. But okay. Sort of. "How are you, Emmy? Uh, excited to go back?" Noticing Lux he gave her a smile too. He was getting better at it now. The smiling even though basically dying on the inside thing.

If he didn't get it, he wouldn't be heart broken. There is always next year.
The Gryffindor played around with the fork in his hand again. He just couldn't seem to keep still. His leg would stop shaking and he was still passing his fork around restlessly. THE FLUTTERIES MERLIN THE FLUTTERIES. "Internship? Where?"

The Gryffindor's ears perked up a little bit-much like that of a chihuahua's. Was that older girl talking about the mysterious weather change? Zander looked over at her and squinted a bit. Ooooh wasn't she the one that was giving him those funny looks at the research meeting?! No one had briefed the lion on what exactly had happened, so maybe this girl knew. [size"1"]"Psst, hi I'm Zander,"[/size] Nervous or not, there was one thing that would most definitely temporarily relive him from his stress. Knowing that Romanos was finally going to be put where she belonged: Azkaban. "You, uh, you don't happen to know about exactly who had... You know... Been responsible for the wonky weather do you?" And at that he suspiciously eyed Romanos. Man.

SPOILER!!: Bay!
”yeah the food couldn’t come any sooner” which was true ever since he got out of the Hospital Wing all he wanted to do was to eat, eat and eat some more. ”im getting better and yeah really ready.. just not excited to hear the wrath from my parents.. really hope they allow me to come back next year” he told the older lion. Then it hit him…. Tag wouldn’t be coming back.. ”dude… I’m going to miss you” which was true, Tag had always been so nice to him.
"Right? It always takes some time for it to come. Why do we have to wait for it? Can't it just already be here waiting for us?" Tag said agreeing. It would definitely make everyone in the Great Hall so much happier. No one would have to wait minutes on end to be fed.
The blonde had heard about Bay getting knocked out for a good chunk of the term, so, when he mentioned about him feeling better, and then the ugly part about his parents Tag saw where he was coming from. "Glad to hear you're feeling better. And, hey, if your parents don't want you back, you can always try to sneak yourself onto the train? Or fly alongside the train to Hogwarts." Tag suggested with a short laugh. Though, flying beside the train for hours wasn't safe. Not that he'd ever tried it.
"I know, I know. I'm miss worthy, you know?" He said teasingly, though. "I'm gonna miss you guys too." The blonde remembered meeting Bay at the pet adoption, before Hogwarts even started. Befriended him, shortly, during the time, while they bonded over their new pets.
SPOILER!!: Kace!
"TAG!" he imitated him. He just had to. "Ohhhh I won't cry over you don't worry. But I think I might do some head noogies..." he smirked and gave him one. He hoped it didn't hurt. He didn't know his own strength.
Good good. Tag nodded at Kace. It was his last night here and he wasn't going to spend it crying or having a sob fest. Maybe past classes had done so, but to Tag he was ready to be out of Hogwarts and have a new adventure. Actually, he wasn't sad about graduating, happy even.
"Thank you for not crying but...." Tag was about to protest to Kace's next words but he didn't have much of a chance as the younger one attacked Tag's hair. Kace had said it but Tag hadn't expected it. "Whoa... Hey. Us blonde ones need to keep the hair together." Laughed Tag after he had been taken over by the hufflepuff.
SPOILER!!: Lotus!
That was so not fair, you know? He didn't even have to say anything. She was merely here to provide the best view possible on his last feast. That was all. But then he had to ask. And her smile widened almost instantly. "That's not how it goes, you know?" That was only part of it. Also, the part she could say if she was granted permission to do so. Now she technically had nothing to say back.
Unfair, see?
"All set?" MERLIN KNEW SHE WAS! More than ready to leave this place, only she had to wait an entire year for this to happen. But it was okay, she had her best friend with her the entire time, no? Yes. The entire time. Summer looked beyond promising and she couldn't be more excited for it. She'll remind Flamsteed about the letters he needs to send out later, though, not now. Knowing the man, he probably already sent them. ALL THE EXCITEMENT.
Speaking of...
Lotus was a good sight to see, yes. And Tag was happy that she decided to come over her and visit him. Hopefully she had went straight towards the Gryffindors and not the Hufflepuffs. Yeah, Tag totally saw her doing that. And that smile, Tag always enjoyed seeing that but... "Do you want me to actually set up the joke for you? That way you can give me the answer. Your favorite part." Wink. She had every right to answer the joke, it was her joke too, you know.
"More than ready to be out of here. I know which college to apply to." He started off. Both community and vet college. But the vet college wouldn't happen for a year or two, so there was no rush to that. "Mostly though I'm ready for the summer holidays, you know? Soaking up the sun." With a small smile. The whole lockdown had made Tag even more excited for his summer plans, which made him even more ready to be out.
And to possibly throw Lottie into the dangers of waters whenever he got the chance. But he wouldn't let her drown or anything cause he was a considerate boyfriend and all.
SPOILER!!: Schuyler
Ugh. UGH. Merlin's beard, this was bittersweet.
By the end of this feast, Schuyler believed she would probably be crying or had already cried. Or at least gone very teary-eyed with a big lump in her throat. Did that count as crying?
Regardless, here she sat at her house table for the last time as a Gryffindor student. After this she'd be a Hogwarts alumna. Graduated. Separated from basically everyone in this school. It was kind of surreal, and it certainly hadn't registered in her mind completely. Hence the reason she wasn't crying yet.
Her eyes scanned around the Great Hall. So many goodbyes, happy and sad, going on. She wanted to say goodbye to her friends, but right now, at this moment, she just sat and watched a little more.
A tough goodbye wasn't something that needed rushing.
More people were coming in and Tag saw that Schuyler had joined the table almost and possibly just as quietly as he had. Well, Tag was going to try and change that, right? Have her chatting a bit.
"Hello, fellow crup walker! Excited for the summer?" Tag said addressing the Gryffindor girl. It was a good and easy conversation starter.
Lotus was a good sight to see, yes. And Tag was happy that she decided to come over her and visit him. Hopefully she had went straight towards the Gryffindors and not the Hufflepuffs.

Actually, she had come straight to this table. The Hufflepuff one certainly didn't need her, and we all know she wouldn't willingly go to Ravenclaw, sorry Vesper but no. Not tonight. It's not like this was actually THE END, there weren't goodbyes to be said. Also, she was planning on staying, she was never one to move from one table to the other, it was rather annoying. Supposedly. At his words, her smile grew bigger and she looked away after that awfully-placed wink, almost as if she was considering her words...
...then looked back, her cheeks slightly pink, "No, it's okay." Better than okay. It just wasn't the place.
Oh? That's not an answer she expected, a simply 'YES!' would've sufficed. But, "That's good news!" she didn't ask where, though, he'd tell her eventually. And then after California she'd know a bit more about her own plans. "Yes! Exactly!" she sounded incredibly relieved, and LOL soaking up the sun, "I think my skin needs to get used to the sun first, though." After alllll these months in PRISON.
No throwing into water without a warning, at least, considerate boyfriend.

Ooooh wasn't she the one that was giving him those funny looks at the research meeting?! No one had briefed the lion on what exactly had happened, so maybe this girl knew. "Psst, hi I'm Zander," Nervous or not, there was one thing that would most definitely temporarily relive him from his stress. Knowing that Romanos was finally going to be put where she belonged: Azkaban. "You, uh, you don't happen to know about exactly who had... You know... Been responsible for the wonky weather do you?" And at that he suspiciously eyed Romanos. Man.
You know, usually, her attention will only be for her boyfriend and her best friend. And, oh, Penelope was here too! And Schuyler! Those were probably the only few people she could see... until she heard a 'Psst' directed at her. Excuse me??
Oh, but she knew him! Yes, of course she remembered him, and now she knew his name. Well, at least he had manners! That was lovely. She spoke quietly to the boy, what was he nervous for? They were all leaving, nothing bad was going to happen now. "Zander, I'm Lotus." No need to use 'Psssssst' anymore, he could use her name.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????
The sixth year eyed him curiously as he asked a question that... well, if she had to guess it had been on his mind for quite some time, yeah? He used who, not what, and then he looked at the staff table. Images of the boy eyeing Medea when she arrived at the Research Meeting flooded her mind. Did he have a crush on the woman or something? Did he not know the woman was in a relationship with her dearest Airey Flamsteed? Or was it the exact opposite and he was scared of the woman instead? Either way, Lotus smiled at him, "Whoever did this, I don't think is sitting at that table." Not this time, kid. Perhaps in the times of Ivy Knox and Erik Vinteren. "Did you have someone in mind?" She had to ask.

Then Simon asked, and he knew the Slytherin would pick up on his weird mood. Simon was good at that. Understanding. "I-I yeah I'm okay..." he smiled nervously, shaking his leg under the table. But he couldn't do it. He couldn't lie to one of his best mates. "I-just-I Simon, I'm so nervous!" and just to show how nervous he was he held his hands up in the air in total exasperation.
Simon frowned when he heard his mate's response. Zander wasn't his usual self and the boy could understand why he possibly didn't feel that way. This was the last time in a long time that they'd all be together and hang out. But was something else bothering him? Then Zander said he was okay which made Simon raise his eyebrows more. Sure, okay didn't mean being all twitchy and weird.
"Nervous?" he repeated and his blue eyes widened when he saw Zander lift his hands up into the air. "Why're you nervous mate?" Was it Romanos at work? He eyed his surroundings and lowered his voice. "Romanos again?" he asked. He still couldn't believe Zander was going on about that.

And then he turned to see Kace. Oh hey there friendly face. "Hey Kace. How's it going?" he asked giving a nod to Emmy's boyfriend. Right, play cool. Simon so wasn't blushing before like a great buffoon. AHem. He nodded in agreement. "Me too. It's been a while since I've been down in the secret passages. Also yes, it'd be fun to hang out in Diagon Alley."
