Simon could believe another year was coming to an end, he couldn't believe that two of his hufflepuff quidditch team mates where leaving, he decided that when he saw them he would say goodbye to them and hopefully he would be able to keep in touch with them but he had a feeling he wouldn't be able to.

Kurumi Having dropped off a box at the Slytherin table, Kurumi was glad to escape to the Hufflepuff table and set another box of cookies there. Maybe she would run into spot Treyen and his smile while she was here. Gryffindor had had a really touch match of Gobstones against Hufflepuff, and she had never really congratulated them on their win. She supposed she ought to fine Jake for that who was in no relation related to Professor Bishop.



Setting the box on the table, Kurumi turned to make her way to the next table.

Belle couldn't believe the term was ending, it seemed like yesterday that she was just at hogwarts getting her supplies and awaiting her new classes. At least she knew what to expect next year. She was happy to return home and see her mom and dad and little brother. She was eating the meals and drinking with her friends, laughing and having a good time before they go on the train home. Take it in while it lasts, even though she was going to be back soon.

Kyle walked up to the Hufflepuff table, smiling she placed a little box filled with enough little goody-bags for every person in the house. She had planned it all year long as she had seen everyone loved feeling special. And she loved helping people feel special. Slipping on a bit of slightly - damp stone and catching her balance she felt her cheeks flush.



Inside the bag was a little card that read: Thanks for a fun term, I hope you all enjoyed it as well. There was also a little bit of more personal messages on them, that well everyone could read themselves yeah?

There was also a nice little assortment of candies, muggle & magical lemon drops, chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, the works anything you could imagine and everything you could imagine was magically in the bag. Well after all it had an undetectable extension charm on it.

"Enjoy, I'm going to run and drop these at all of the tables." She smiled.

Turning she skipped off and decided dropping some at the Staff table would be nice but dropping them at her own table would be best - and then Gryffindor for last.

Another year was coming to an end and this could only meant one thing for Cedric: he's graduating, leaving forever, and congratulations and goodbyes, hand in hand, are ironically in order. Cedric was sad to go to begin with but he knew his real fate was just about to start as he left the premises of his beloved soon to be Alma Mater.

Managing to produce a small smile from his already purse-lipped lips, he sidled up to their house table and eased himself into the wooded seat.

He noticed some funny-looking cookies and what seemed like loot bags on the table for it was inevitable not to notice those things when they were just so many. Where were the other Hufflepuff graduates, anyway? Fletcher? Melanie? Jake? Ugh. Perhaps they were too sad to even attend the feast, more so to actually graduate. Or they were just a little late.

Cedric stared at the cookies, you could say he wanted to savor some, but taking the blank expression in his face into consideration, you would know that was really not the case.

More than once the young teen had considered avoiding the closing feast while she packed her belongings, had considered wondering the grounds once more while her peers said their farewells before heading back home. But her feet seemed to have a different plan as they slowly but surely lead her to the great hall for the last time this term.

Her gray tabby was enough of a distraction to keep her from looking at the ongoings at the other house tables as she ambled over to her own, Perseus moving from the hood of her robes to her arms. "Got big graduation plans, Cedric?" Even though she wasn't her usual cheerful self, she was still able to afford him a smile as she slipped onto the bench beside him, kneazle in arms.

The cookies and goodie bags went untouched by the fourth year was still unsure what to make of them. Were they for all the students or just the graduating ones? Who made them? What was their game???

Kyle noticed the fourth year was a little apprehensive of the goodie bags and the cookies, and walked over quickly. "Hi you can take one each one has a students name on them - and Kurumi the Gryffindor made the cookies...they are all for everyone." She smiled, "I'm Kyle Manning" she smiled, her blond hair falling in her face slightly.

She didn't know WHERE the older girl had come from, and eyed her a bit suspiciously before letting her gaze drift to said treats. "Kurumi..." She knew that little lion, not personally, but enough to know that she wouldn't pull any pranks of some sort. Hmm.

"Hey Kyle." She would have given the girl a wave of some sorts, but her hands were busy with her kneazle, so the seventh year only got smiles. "Thanks for them... but, I think I'll wait for the food the house elves made." If she'd even eat that. She never did much eating at the closing feast.

*Wearing his best school robes Matty walked down the Hufflepuff table and found an empty seat. Sitting down he looked around for his friends, seeing a few he waved. Filling up his plate he started to dig in. The year was over and he was more then ready to go home. A good two months of hard training in the Swedish mountains.*

Cedric continued with his unusual prolonged contemplation of the cookies and the bags. And he was somewhat awakened and perplexed as someone uttered his name. He was back to reality. He raked a hand through his hair, and cocked his head to... Arya! "Hey Arya," Cedric smiled genuinely, obviously perking up a little. "Err, no, I think I'm just looking forward of meeting a special friend once I graduated."

That was true. He was quite shocked that he just said that thing that he almost wondered if a reflex action of his was to say things he hadn't planned to say. "How are you?" he asked, partly for the sake of changing the subject.

But then again, he couldn't help notice something. "Where's Trey?"

"I get that its more just loads of candy so you don't have to buy any on the train and all." She smiled, "anyways its no problem and it nice to meet you. anyways best be off." She smiled returning to her house table.

Plopping down next to Matthias, Mia gave him a nudge with her shoulder. "So where have you been for the past few months?" She eyed him for a moment with a raised eyebrow before pouring herself a glass of water.

Yes she was mad at him but in just a few short weeks she was going to be seeing Nik again so she was unlikely to stay mad for too long. But he didn't need to know that.

Caroline couldn't believe that she was sitting at yet another end of term feast. The past two had been very emtional for her seein her brother two years ago leave and her sisier left last year. She only had a two more start of and end of term feast.

This year had really been the best year ever for Caroline. She stood up from the Slytherin house table. She moved over to the Hufflepuff house table next. There were so many people that she wanted to say goodbye too. She went over to an empty spot at the table and sat there there still wasn't many people there yet. She would just wait for someone to sat near her.

Ah. A special friend. She nodded her head in a bit of understanding, smile still faltering just a bit as her thoughts drifted. It was the Ravenclaw girl that pulled her back to reality, and she sent the girl a farewell smile as she made her way back to her own table. She was sure the girl had said something relevant to the goodie bags, but Arya couldn't remember what. Distractions, she had them.

"I don't know where he is," she looked around for her trio buddy... and came up with nothing. HE would be a good distraction from distractions right now. Sigh. "Maybe he's still packing his bags." Maybe he decided to skip the feast all together.

*A big smile came to his lips and he was about to hug her but stopped seeing the look in her eyes. Putting his arms down Matty frowned. He had been a bad friend lately... it seemed that all his time was studying, testing or spending time with Marie in the RoR.*
"I'm sorry. I've been around but not really... here. Sorry Mia... I've been kind of... hanging out with someone. But it's complicated."
*Pulling over a big thing of salad he handed her the tongs to get some.*

Any other time Mia would have just waved it off and accepted the apology and eventually she would but for now, she was still feeling hurt. "Yes I know. You've been hanging out with Marie." Yes she knew all about their friendship, it was no secret.

"Look I'm glad that you and she are friends. I mean it's all I ever wanted. For you to meet new people but geez did it mean you had to dump me?" She took the tongs from him and piled some salad onto her plate before handing it back to him.

Mia looked him over for a moment. "And you're in love with her." She stated simply.

"I never meant for that to happen and it never will again. I'm sorry Mia..."
*Matty looked down and shrugged. He had no idea what love was in the first place. Everything was just so... fuzzy. And became even more fuzzy after spring holiday.*
"I don't know... I have very strong feels for her. But she's with someone else. Admitting them might hurt to much..."

"Yeah well it better not." She said with a firm tone but her expression was beginning to soften. She was such a sucker.

Mia turned in her seat and looked at him squarely in the eye. "Too late for that mate. You're already in way over your head." Oh yeah she was being brutal today. It'll teach him not to ignore her for months on end.

*He sighed, he knew that taking a dive into this pit would be very hard to get out of. But for some reason he couldn't help it.*
"Then... What should I do?"
*Matty felt so very lost with... well everything. It just seemed that s time went on things got more confusing.*

Mia raised her eyebrows at him. Asking her was probably not the best thing to be doing. Seeing how everyone involved was her friend.

"Well how did you get over me? Or is what you feel for Marie, different from what you felt for me?" She certainly wasn't holding any punches here. This was a time for total honesty.

*With a deep sigh he rubbed the back of his neck but still looked down.*
"It's... different."
*Truth be told the way he got over Mia was to stay away from her for awhile. To think about other things and study very hard. But he knew deep down that if she ever said the word he would coming running.*

She opened her mouth to push him some more. To tell her exactly what was so different but decided that after her encounters with Salander and Ivan, it was probably a good idea if she just left it alone.

"Well if it's different. Then maybe you should do the opposite of how you got over me." Did that even make sense? Mia shook her head and ran her hands through her hair. She was burnt out from giving people advice.

"Let's eat and just enjoy our last night at Hogwarts."

There was a very good chance that Treyen Lockhart was one of the few happy people in the Great Hall at the moment.

And the first person he took notice of was Simon, since he was almost at the front of the table. Why was he sitting so close to the Staff was beyond him, but he kept on walking towards him...until...

...he smirked and stopped right there.

"Cedric, I didn't know you cared so much about me." Lies, he was being sarcastic on the seventh year. Treyen had failed to get the badge away from the Prefect, and he had a whole plan and everything. Perhaps if he'd accepted Simon's help then he would've succeeded.

Then the boy turned to Arya, "Maybe he's right behind you," he said, as he took a seat next to her, "But, yeah, you were right." He just had so many things in the dormitory, and so many books, and a Knarl that didn't want to be caged again. That took him forever.

Kurumi nervously made her way back to the Hufflepuff table carrying a box that looked like it was large enough to hold a good sized watermelon. She hadn't intended for it to come out looking so...big...but the chocolate hadn't cooperated with her when she was molding it into wings and she had needed to improvise. At least the cake part of it had worked out and adding a little extra lemon zest to balance out the sugar had been one of her more brilliant baking ideas.

"G-Good evening, Treyen," Kurumi blushed. Clearly, her whisper of a greeting had not been enough for her to get the boy's attention. So, she tapped him on the shoulder and adjusted her grip on the box. "Good evening, Treyen," she said a little louder this time. "This is for you."
