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...
Oh, hey. Look at that. As Sierra looked up, the Great Hall turned a stunning shade of green and silver. Stunning, of course, because it was the color of victory. The Great Hall, as everyone knew, was always decorated for the ending feast in the colors of the winning house. Hmm. Brilliant, really. Sierra was still admiring the color change when she heard someone say hello. Someone standing very close to her, so were they...talking to her?
Sierra slowly looked up, finally fixing her eyes on Iris, the house prefect and Head Girl. Sierra gave her a small smile. She was always in a good mood toward her fellow Slytherins.
"Oh, ...hey." She looked up at the girl as she continued to talk, congratulating her on the Quidditch team winning the championship game. Oh, and she'd mentioned that Sierra had been fantastic this year, too.
"Oh, ...was I?" Sierra nonchalantly asked. She'd considered for a moment just saying something like--"I know"--but she'd save that comment for someone from another house.
"Cool, thanks, Iris," she said. She should really say something polite to her, too. Erm...
"Congratulations on graduating." Erm. What to say, what to say?
"So, what's next?" Not professional Quidditch. It couldn't be. As far as Sierra knew, the girl had never been on the house team.

Hearing her name, Sierra turned from Iris and looked toward the boy standing next to her. Oh, great. She'd somehow attracted a Gryffindor. She stared at him, wondering if he'd come to make some rude comment about
losing to them in the house cup race. ...oh. He was glad he got to meet her? Erm. When had they met again? Oh, right. Class.
"Yeah, ...same here." She guessed. William was acceptable. He was no Hufflepuff, at least.
He was actually congratulating Slytherin on their win? Hmm. That was a surprise. Nevertheless...
"Hmm. Thanks, William," she said. She'd congratulate his house, too, but since Slytherin had walked away winning it all, that meant no one else had won anything. Ha. She shrugged.
"Nope, haven't seen her yet. Sorry." What did she look like anyway? Fee's personal assistant?!

And as Aaron reached into his pocket for a ring his FANTASTIC mom bought him. That was it. No turning back. Here it goes.
"Iris Beaumont. I want to spend the rest of my life with you... Will you marry me?"
Sierra's attention was drawn away from William when she happened to look to the side and see Aaron down on one knee. Wait. Wasn't that what old people did when they wanted to get married?! Sierra's eyes widened. Was Aaron asking Iris to marry him?!
Merlin!
How old were they anyway?! They seemed a little young for that sort of thing, but what did Sierra know anyway? She was thirteen and still hadn't had her first boyfriend. She shrugged, gave Aaron the thumbs up sign, and then looked away when Lafay arrived.

Dear Merlin...
She glared at him her knowing glare. "Ahem.... Not to interrupt your love fest Captain, but we do have a feast to conduct here. Please keep your personal questions to more private areas..." or just away from my presence.
"As you can tell by the green and silver decor, I am coming to congratulate you lot on a term well done." She said not cracking a smile.
Oh, good. Lafay! Just who Sierra had been needing to talk to anyway. She sort of half-smirked, half-laughed (very silently, of course) at Lafay's reaction to the proposal. It was amusing to say the least, and Sierra got a kick out of it.
...but that wasn't what she needed to talk to her Head of House about right now, so she forgot about the proposal and instead focused on Lafay's congratulations.
"Thank you, Professor," she said. A pleased smile spread across her face.
"It certainly is rewarding to just...well, ...win it all." Again, though, that wasn't what she needed to talk to her Head of House about.
"Professor Lafay, when you get a moment, may I have a word with you, please?" she asked. As in,
just you. Not the whole table right now. Not for what she had to ask.
