*pretending this reply is before the proposal*
The Head Girl nodded.
"Absolutely fantastic," she repeated.
Iris couldn't help but laugh. Sierra was congratulating her for doing the one thing she didn't want to do right now.
"Thanks... I guess." As the younger girl asked what was next, Iris smiled a little.
"Furthering my Transfiguration studies." Yup... Iris decided that staying vague on that would be best. The kid didn't need to hear the full outline of what Iris was hoping to achieve over the next couple of years... it'd probably bore her to death.
"Make sure we win at least the Quidditch again next year, won't you?"
As Aaron put the ring on her finger, Iris smiled even more than she already was. She really couldn't believe that this was happening... They were going to get married. And then they'd spend forever and a day with each other. Iris couldn't (and didn't want to) imagine her life any other way.
Hugging him back, Iris snuggled into his neck slightly.
"I love you," she whispered again, but this time only loudly enough for Aaron and herself to hear.
Iris sighed, happily. She looked away from Aaron and over to Headmaster Tate. He'd be giving his speech really soon, right? Well... She didn't have to keep her eyes on the staff table until he did.
While Aaron said something to Professor Lafay, Iris' eyes fell on her hands. The ring looked so odd on her hand, but so perfect at the same time. Iris smiled...
Iris jumped at Aurora's reaction.
Oh my gosh.... The child was too loud...
After the initial shock from that reaction, Iris grinned and laughed at the little redhead's dancing.
I really am going to miss her next year...
Leaving Aaron and Aurora to talk to each other, Iris just ignored what ever they were saying and looked over the table to Fallon. Fallon! ... Iris had completely forgotten that Fallon was sat there! She gave her best friend a shy smile, and brushed some hair from her face.
