Releasing a deep sigh Emily took her seat at the long Ravenclaw table for the last time. This was a very sad day indeed. Her journey at Hogwarts was coming to an end, and now it was becoming increasingly difficult to fight back the tears. So much had happened during her last term... so much has changed. But the one thing that had remained constant... was home. Hogwarts was her home. It had been her home for the last seven years of her life, and now it was time for her to leave the nest, to spread her wings and fly.

She looked up and down the tabel, all her friends, those familiar faces. She would miss them.

Emily blinked furiously, trying to compose herself. Now was not the time to cry... she needed to stay strong and enjoy what was left of her time at home.

"Hey everyone", she said in as much of a cheerful voice as she could muster.
