Shaking her head at his next comment, though she said, "This isn't home. Haven't figured out WHERE home is exactly, but we have a new one, now." Smiles. Truth, that was. "Well I started blubbering at that stupid memory book... and it kind of carried over to here a bit. I have been here seven years, Sal... I have blood, sweat, and tears in abundance in here. It's odd for me. I am ready to go, but I will clearly miss it, too. And the people. Well some of them." She waved her hand dismissively and leaned into his embrace.
"I have barely even gotten started to be honest. I still need to find Mina and few others," she said as she glanced toward the Ravenclaw table miserably.
He squeezed her midriff slightly as she spoke
"Well Hogwarts is home to me, its the one place that didnt reject me for whatever reason and the first place that I felt at ease, that I didnt always have to be on my guard and having to always watch my back" figuratively and literally.
"Memory book.... so thats what you call it" he mumbled as he looked back at the large book at the far wall
"I didnt know what you guys were doing there so I took a look and.... yeah I left a message too." a rather lengthy one, which surprised himself. He smiled sadly at his Gryffincess, indeed a lot of blood, sweat and tears of hers was left here
"Is that why you're so eager to leave? Hogwarts drew blood from you? I guess.... its understandable. I only left sweat and tears here so maybe thats why I feel like I couldnt let go..."
Oh boy he said it. And hearing it out loud, it was like it was spoken by somebody else. Indeed he had problems letting go, which had brought him mix blessings. He followed her gaze towards across the hall towards the other house tables. He had to say goodbye to the others too, but for some reason really didnt feel like it.
"I'm not sure if I really want to say goodbye to any of the younger years..." as not saying it means that he doesnt have to face the fact that he has to let go of the friends that will be left behind.
