As more people entered the Great Hall, Elise noticed the evil!Puff come up to the Ravenclaw table. Ordinarily, she would have protested but seeing as it was her last day with her boyfriend in this same hall, she figured that she'd just let it slide. She knew how it felt to be trying to soak up the last moments with the people you loved, anyway. ~~But if she stayed, Elise might have to slip something into her pumpkin juice.~~

SPOILER!!: Mika

It was probably lucky that Mika distracted her from her thoughts before Elise had a chance to act on them. That could have been dangerous. Nodding instead at the younger blonde, she smiled. "And for you too." What else was there to say now? She was pretty much at a loss for words as it was.

SPOILER!!: Gwen

Gwen. Sweet Merlin, Gwen was graduating. It just mostly made Elise realize how fast the past six years had gone. One moment she was just a first-year, hoping for someone to help her understand how the castle worked and the next? She was here, sixth year Quidditch Captain. Leaving a whole year prematurely.

"Hey, Gwen," she smiled, waving. Trying to ignore the question in the older student's eyes, she tried to divert her attention. Who else was there? Oh. It was Beezus. Upon seeing the prefect, Elise's expression pretty much shattered.

They weren't on particularly good terms then and this certainly wasn't how things were supposed to end. They were close friends, for crying out loud. One night changed everything. She hadn't thought it possible, but it was a fact now and despite the fact that Elise had apologized multiple times, they weren't going to make up anytime soon.

SPOILER!!: Blue and Ethan

How? you may wonder. Well, there was the twisting in her gut, for starters. You know that feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach that you just couldn't for the life of you place? Well, it was like that but she knew exactly what was wrong. Her Quidditch team was falling apart. Yes, it was as much hers as it was Elise's. They were like a family. Not in the way Theo or Cassia were like family but in the way cousins were. Cousins who hung out a lot more than regular cousins did.

Cousins who sucked Merlin's stinky socks for ditching her to go on to do better things.

Like that kind of family, you know?

Blue sat outside the Great Hall, wallowing in self-pity she really wasn't permitted to have. She wasn't even leaving. But it was just the realisation that this was only the beginning. That the future was just WAITING for her. Ethan and Elise were going this year. Then Bee next...who would give her cuddles and pretect her when she got nightmares?! It was a tad overwhelming and completely unfair. Here everyone was leaving to be grownups and do things like pay morgages but she was stuck here worrying about OWLs. Stupid teenagerism. Stupid angst. Stupid Ethan.

Stupid stupid stupid.

The soon-to-be fifth year stood up, her bat in hand and slipped into the Great Hall for the what, second time this year? That was CRAZY. Like, doxy-droppings nutty. Blue glanced at the Slytherin table and decided it would be more appropriate not to go over there today but she'd say hi to her friends at some point. The girl made her way over to the Ravenclaw table and you know, gave them a glare.

“Do you know what you guys are?” Ethan and Elise, that was. “Rude. Incredibly rude.”

Well, now that they knew that, she twisted her wrist slightly to draw attention to the bat in her grip. And now she felt shy. And was blushing. Hazel. Blushing. It was so outrageous that it required birth-cert name instead of Blue. “So I kinda thought...maybe youguyswouldsignmybat? Justsomethingsoyouknowyouguysarestillkindaonthetea m. Every time I hit the bludger...technically you guys would be too. Or, ya know, you're names would be anyway.” They'd laugh, wouldn't they?

"Rude..?" he repeated. "What.. did we do?" He glanced up at Elise a bit questioningly as well as Blue seemed to be addressing the Captain also. Maybe Elise would know what the fourth year meant. Then he peered back at the younger girl, green eyes wandering to the bat in her hand as she twisted it menacingly at them.

The girl had gone completely mad, he just knew it. Ethan was sure that Blue was angry with the two of them for some unknown reason and was about to beat them senseless with her bat and he subtly reached for his wand protectively. And then she spoke. Ethan leaned a bit closer to understand her words as she drew them all together and he slowly grinned. "I think that's an awesome idea, Blue.. I'd be honored to sign your bat. And to play with you in spirit." He bent down and pulled a self-inking quill from his bag and reached for her bat, signing, Ethan 'The Wall' McCarthy. He handed it back, then his eyes snapped to Elise as something Blue said finally registered. "Why aren't you going to be on the team next term?" She wasn't a seventh year.. where was she going?

The next thing she knew, there was Blue marching up to her and Ethan and stating something that pretty much baffled her. Rude? Did she say something that Blue found offensive? Or was it the fact that she was leaving? Obviously, something had upset her ickle and Elise hated herself for doing it. "I'm sorry," she said quietly, lowering her gaze to the floor.

She would have probably bashed her head on the table if the not-so-ickle-anymore Ravenclaw hadn't continued her speech. Looking back up to meet the girl's eyes, she realized that Blue was blushing. Faintly, hardly visibly, but still. Blushing. Okay, this was probably serious.

She wanted Elise to sign her bat.

Elise wasn't sure if she was going to laugh or cry when she heard the words. She was flattered, so very flattered. It was such a huge honour, to have someone want to have you sign their bat. Beaters were very picky about their bats and what touched them. Elise would know. But it was also just a little more painful, their separation. She wouldn't be there to captain them to the victory they were sure to achieve next term, but she would definitely be cheering them on from the stands.

"I-I'd be honoured, Blue. Thank you," she smiled, following after Ethan and pulling another self-inking quill from her bag and uncapping it. Doing her absolute best not to cry, she signed her name in her usual neat script on the wood of the bat, adding in smaller writing under her name the title that Bee, Mo and Blue had given her a while back. Queen Beater.

"Hey Blue?" Putting her quill back into the bag, she offered the bat back to the young beater. "You're a really brilliant beater. I know I've said it before, but you should know that I mean it." She could be the next Queen of Bludgers, y'know? Elise was proud of her.

Then, she turned her gaze to the prefect. She hadn't told him yet. She hadn't told most of her team, save for Beezus. And after seeing Bee's reaction, Elise was pretty discouraged from telling anyone else. Moving closer to Ethan, she lowered her voice so that nobody else could hear her clearly. "I'm leaving to play for Pride of Portree." There. She'd said it. Pulling back, she shrugged. "I was going to tell you on the train, but you asked. So.. yeah." I hope you're not mad. It was an opportunity that she couldn't miss. He had to understand that, right?

SPOILER!!: Kat ;__;

This whole situation was hard, hugging onto her best friend as if her life depended on it. Practically clinging to each other like a pair of koalas, they were. It didn't matter that they had the summer to themselves. It was the last time they were going to cling within these walls. And maybe cling on the train too, but that would be different.

"Right," she whispered back, nodding. "Will you?" That was the more important question here. Would Kat be okay without her to rant at or would the Slytherin find a new bestie and forget all about her? The thought of it terrified Elise but it was entirely possible. She wasn't going to dwell on that, though. Today was going to be a reasonably happy day (even if it was almost over).

"We still have the summer?"

Why was she going to miss her. No…nope, no this wasn’t happening, the blond had just really started getting to know her captain and now she realized she wasn’t coming back. Grumble.Grumble. “So…um, I hope summer and things treats you well” she smiled softly a slightly knowing smile flitting across her face.

Anyway, Gwen decided not to ask anything like ‘are you alright?’. Because she herself was trying desperately to avoid that question. So just ‘hi’. Just that. Gwen. Sweet Merlin, Gwen was graduating.

And never come back. She wanted to spend the last day in Diagon Alley and maybe just... pretend none of them were leaving. Honestly, Kat didn't know why she allowed Elise to go... but it was something you can't just forget about. An offer that big isn't something that is given to a person everyday. But the consequences were always. bad. Her best friend wouldn't be here to complete their seventh year together but at least she'd be home-schooled. Kat would visit her once in a while and make sure Elise's lame excuse of a sister didn't plan on hurting her. Protective best friend, that was it. She still remained clinging to Elise and not wanting to let go. The Slytherin couldn't care less how weird she looked like at the moment because when it came to just her and her best friend, Kat didn't care what other people think of them. They'd have to deal with it. Only they just don't know what it felt like to be in Kat's shoes. To be left by her bestest friend since forever. "I'll... miss you too," Kat said and blinked a few times because the tears were about to fall too. Ugh, she wasn't going to show weakness. Not tonight at least. "You'll be okay... right?" What's a Kat without an Elise? This whole situation was hard, hugging onto her best friend as if her life depended on it. Practically clinging to each other like a pair of koalas, they were. It didn't matter that they had the summer to themselves. It was the last time they were going to cling within these walls. And maybe cling on the train too, but that would be different.
