"So just owl me when you want to meet up." She giggled when Ella suggested ice cream, well of course she would say ice cream. "Ice cream sounds great, we will defiantly meet up for ice cream." Yes, that sounded like a perfect summer thing to do. "So what big plans do you two have this summer?"
Getting away sounded nice so Ella couldn't really blame the older girl for being excited.
"Well safe travels, yeah?" BEAM.
"And I hope you have a good trip." Or should it be trip
s since she was meant to be spending time with Ethan as well?
Nod.
"Course I will." Ella would be sending loads of owls this summer. She wanted to keep in touch with all her favorites, okay? And ice cream was a go?
"Brilliant!" Grin.
"It'll be a lot of fun." How could it not when ice cream was involved? Plans? Hmm. Ella looked at Alec and bit her lip a little. There plans were basically to spend as much time together as possible, yeah?
"Well I'm going to try and visit Alec at his house and then he'll come to mine lots as well." And maybe that didn't sound too exciting to Min but Ella was pretty jazzed about the whole thing.
SPOILER!!: Belle!

Belle's heart fluttered when she heard Ella would write to her. They would stay in contact. There was hope. When Ella mentioned getting a job at the zoo, Belle's eyes widened. "Oh my god that is SO great! I hope you get the job!" Belle knew Ella was great with animals. She would be perfect for the job.
Then she asked what she was doing. Belle had no idea. "Well i hope to find a job in the real world and then i am working on the farm with my grandparents. So nothing too special." she shrugged and grinned.
Yeah...the unknown was totally scary. Ella had never been good with change. She liked constants, things she could rely on. The future was just to uncertain and it didn't sit well with her. Mostly it just made her nervous.
"I think that's probably normal, y'know, how you're feeling." Belle couldn't be the only excited but nervous seventh year around here.
"It'll be brilliant though, Belle. I think your future is going to be really great." Cause Belle was nice and smart and smart from what Ella knew about her. How could it
not be great?
Heh. Belle's enthusiasm over the zoo made Ella BEAM and she bounced a little too.
"I'm honestly SO excited about it! Thanks, I really really really hope I get it too." And she'd be finding out soon. Shuffle.
"Hey, working on a farm doesn't sound so bad." Ella said seriously, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You'll be working with animals, yeah? There's nothing wrong with that." It actually sounded really nice to the fifteen year old.
"And you've got time to get a job so just don't panic or anything." Said the worlds worst panic-er ever.
SPOILER!!: Violet

Her Elly Bean! Someone Violet grew SO close to over the past couple of terms. She really thought of her as another one of Violet's sisters.
Violet could already feel her eyes beginning to itch, as the tears were already trying to come out. When she heard Elly Bean speak, Violet smiled weakly and then whispered back,"Yes I am Elly Bean.." Seems that Violet wasn't the only one who was really hoping to find Elly Bean. For this was definitely going to be a goodbye that Violet did not want to say. And it definitely made it much more difficult for Violet to fight back her tears at Ella's next question.
She bit her lower lip as she clung to her a little tighter. Violet whispered with a bit of a shaky tone,"I really wish I didn't Elly Bean.." She paused. "I really wish I didn't.." Violet blinked a couple of times, hoping to prevent the tears that were building in her eyes.
This really was going to be a lot more difficult than she thought..
This was one of those hugs that Ella wished she didn't have to end. Because well, this was maybe the last time she'd be hugging Violet in Hogwarts and that made Ella feel really sad. Hogwarts without Violet just wouldn't be the same. Who was going to have tea parties with her and get all excited over everything?
Who? Frown.
And Vi's eyes were quite watery which caused Ella's green eyes to widen a bit as tears welled up. Sniff.
Don't cry, Ella. Don't cry. "I have something for you." Ella whispered this, releasing the older badger so that she could reach into her pocket and pull out a small gift
box. Her chin wobbled a bit as she handed it to the older girl.
Wibble!
Squeeeeze!
"I can visit you lots, right?" Sniff. Sniff.
"And we'll have lots of tea?" SPOILER!!: Nessie

Really. Alec and Ella. They had to be like the couple of the year, they were almost like Lewis and Kurumi but then Ness still always secretly hoped Kurumi would go for Adam. heh. Alec and Ella were different then that but just so adorable and never fighting or hurting one another. It was almost impossible to ever think of a moment where either of them had hurt somebody on purpose. These were the kind of kids you wanted your own kids to be like one day...not that Nessie was thinking about kids just yet, but yeah they were adorable!
With a smile she greeted her seeker and keeper. ""Hey you two!" She gave them a polite nod each.
Nessie seemed in good spirits which made Ella smile a bit more. She liked seeing her captain happy, mostly because she thought the red head really deserved to be. She was always trying to help everyone else and make them happy and someone like that should feel really happy too. Just saying.
"Big plans for the summer, Loch Nessie?" Grin!
"Oh and...can we hang out? Ferocious Trio get together, maybe?" Pretty please?
SPOILER!!: Bliss

Jelly bean enthusiast here, up for anything bean related. BEAM. "What sort of things could we make?" She pondered aloud, looking at her friend quizzically. One thing that was good about Ella, was that she was up for nearly everything and she could always make Bliss feel better, even when she was feeling done. Like today; she'd expected it to be miserable, saying goodbye to so many people and with constant reminders about her Dad, but .. she was happy.
It almost seemed wrong.
How cute, she thought then Ella bounced. Bounce, bounce, Bliss joined in. Bouncing fun and bouncing for happy reasons was even better. Like working at a zoo, that was definitely happy. "I'm sure you'll get accepted." Had she said that already? Hmmm. Who would be stupid enough NOT to accept her. Exactly, no one. "Then you'll have lots of fun and make some animal friends." YUP. Bliss had animals friends, she knew all about working with animals, due to her sister owning a magical animal sanctuary. Anyway, back to Ella. She put her hand on the older girl's hand and squeezed it reassuringly. Bliss had all confidence in Ella.
Brilliant. "Yup." BEAM. By the sounds of it, Bliss summer was going to be completely jam packed. West, Elodie, Coul, Nessie, Blue AND Ella had all agreed to meet up with her, meaning she'd have PLENTY of distractions from things and that was just what she needed. Her Mum had already suggested that Bliss keep out of the house for Summer. Mum, Dylan and Tianna were left in the house, being looked after Sarah who was being surprisingly strong about it. Mark had taken off it who knows where, but they knew he was safe and well-ish. Sometimes Bliss regretted the decision to come back to Hogwarts and leave her family and grieve separately, but she knew that if she stayed home, she'd get worse and not better. At least here, she could manage to smile. Bliss came out of her thoughts and faced Ella again. "Can't beat the ferocious trio, nope," she agreed with a wink, before asking, "got any ideas of what we can do?"
What sort of things could they make with the jelly beans? Well that was a good question. Ella stroked her imaginary beard thoughtfully before the corners of her lips turned upwards.
"Elephants." Obviously.
"I wouldn't mind trying to make some of those." BEAM.
"Hey, you could maybe make an otter? It's worth a try." And if they came out horribly at least they could say they'd tried.
Bliss was bouncing too and Ella couldn't
not grin. This was the Bliss she knew, the one she liked to see. The bouncing meant she was happy, yeah?
"Thanks Bliss, that's nice of you to say." Really, she appreciated it.
"Making animal friends sounds pretty brilliant, actually. I'm quite fond of them, the animals." If that wasn't obvious already.
"I'm just looking forward to learning all kinds of new things." And then maybe use those things in the future if she chose to stay on the path of working with animals/magical creatures. The shoulder squeeze was comforting but Ella was more of the hugging kind so she leaned over and wrapped her arms around the younger badger.
"You're the best, Bliss." Just saying.
GRIN!
"Nope, course you can't beat us. We're ferocious and scary." Giggle. Totally not true.
"Well...I'm not too sure but I'm thinking dancing and singing should be involved." That's sort of what they did best, yeah?
SPOILER!!: Alec

Yeah... that was the really important part here. Even if this was an end of term feast which were technically meant to be really sad because of the leaving graduates and, well, the 'leaving' part. He did not like that one bit.
But... back to the blonde. The grin that could usually be found on the young boy's face vanished slowly and a frown formed along his lips. Seventh years. Them. As seventh years. And to think that in three terms, they could be sitting here for the very last time. "That... sounds really scary, actually," Because it did. Seventh years meant NEWTs and thinking about what they were going to do in the real world. And, even if he did sort of know what he wanted to do, it still sounded scary. Yeah.
Alec gave her hand a small squeeze, his grey-blue eyes looking into her green ones. She had nice eyes, Ells did. They were pretty distracting at times, though, and he blamed her for it. Just a bit. Maybe. "Agreed!" he said, nodding, "And maybe... maybe it'll be better than fourth year?" Although, fourth year had been a really awesome year so... fifth year had a lot to live up to.
Oh Merlin. Why did she have to go and bring up seventh year? The moment her boyfriend started frowning the blonde immediately regretted opening her mouth.
"No frowning." Poke.
"I just means...we'll have to fit in a lot of fun the next couple of terms, yeah? And go on lots of adventures?" And she gave the boy a small smile and another poke just for good measure.
"It'll be great..." And hopefully not go by too fast.
Ella squeezed back, eyes flickering down to their hands. Grin. She liked this best, holding hands with Alec. It made her feel a little less sad or nervous or alone. 'Twas nice, being Alec's. And him looking into her eyes like he was right now, that wasn't very nice. He knew she couldn't think straight when he did that, yeah? He
must.
"Maybe it will." And it was something to hope for, right?
...
She was growing hungry now. They'd been sitting for a really long time now, huh? The blonde glanced up at the staff table and frowned a little. Could they do the speech now, please?
Oh and then her green eyes landed on Sophie and Mordred briefly and she raised her eyebrows. How was it going down there, anyway? The blonde hoped Mordred was making some headway with the brunette.
As for Oakey and Ariana. Ella avoided looking at them all together. She wanted Oakey to be happy but she knew what it was doing to Soph and that didn't sit well with her. Not at all.
