It'd be okay?

Well, of course it would. But it would also be different. Everything would be different and this made Ella feel sad because she liked this. She loved Hogwarts and these people and it was her second home. So sorry but she was sad. Just all the sad feels right now, okay? And she was going to miss Hadley tons.

She was vaguely aware of someone else being pulled into a hug and she'd heard Alec's voice so she was assuming it was him. If he needed to talk to Hadley, she was going to go. She didn't want to get in the way and besides, she was probably going to cry soon if she didn't get out of here.

And so the Head Girl pulled away eventually and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She then looked up at her Head of House and said quietly. "I'm going to miss you, Professor. Thanks for always being there for us. Thanks for believing in me. Thanks for...being you. I couldn't have asked for a better person to lead our house. Just...t-thanks." As soon as her voice cracked, the eighteen year old knew she should abandon ship. She quickly swallowed the lump in her throat, gave Alec a forced smile, and then darted from the room.
