Each was a different, unusual, but delicious flavor and it was one of the things she would miss most about the school.
“Have you had these? You really should, Zander,” Justine said, pushing the plate toward the younger boy. She had half a mind to try feeding him the macaroons just to further tease him, but a minute later Cinna had arrived and the thought momentarily slipped from her mind. OKAYTHEWINKTHOUGH. Zander wasn't sure whether he was thankful for the opportunity to think about something else other than the fact that the seventh years were leaving. OR whether to worry about the fact that he was both absolutely mortified and super red in the middle of the great hall. Trying to focus on the former, though, he returned THATWINK with a small, embarrassed smile. "I-you-uh," MERLIN "You're-uh-welcome, Justine." Maybe it would be better for everyone if the girl didn't return. It would definitely save him from turning bright colors in public.
But no, he would definitely miss her. And the lessons. He liked those. "I actually haven't," he admitted PRAYING that his cheeks were starting to return back to normal, though he knew better than to assume. Grabbing one macaroon (that was almost as vibrant as his face), he took a small bite and smiled. "You're right... They are good," It was going to be weird when she wasn't here. Different. Empty, even. "Justine, it's not going to be without you here, you know?" GAH. He wasn't supposed to be thinking about this.
IT WASN'T A PART OF THE PLAN. SPOILER!!: Cinna Quote:

Thinks to her and her awesome advice, NOW if he would take her other piece of advice he would be all set. And as if it was a gift from Merlin himself, Cinna arrived just in time to save the day. Or to save him from making an utter fool of himself, though the ever-so-present red in his cheeks already proved that the damage had been done. "Hi, Cinna," he said allowing himself to give her a weak smile. There wasn't too much pep in his step at the moment. What with knowing that Lottie was leaving and all. Speaking of which, he still hadn't gone over to say anything yet and his time was running out. But, he didn't want to have to think about it. But he put on a smile nevertheless because he knew Cinna would question it and the last thing he wanted was questions when he was trying not to think about it all. "Nothing much, just preparing to go home I guess..." He lazily lifted his hands from his lap and set them on the table. "How 'bout you?... Ready to leave?"
And also, had she heard that he and Lux were on good terms again? Because though he did sorta tell her, she didn't really get many details. SPOILER!!: KAAAACE Quote:

Head Girl I am gonna miss seeing your face around here next term.." He remembered all his adventures he did with her and practicing with her in lessons. AND it looked like ALL of Hogwarts was here to talk to Zander Adair, the one time he didn't want to talk to anybody. Because talking required thinking and he really, really didn't want to think right now. But he gave Kace a polite smile either way, because the guy was nice and a friend. So yes. But of course the fifth year wasn't just here to talk to him an Cinna, he had a valid excuse for stopping by Gryffindor. For Emmylou. Speaking of which, Zander actually hadn't seen her all term-- well, aside from the occasional passbys around the castle, but that hardly even counted. Anyways. "Hi, Kace," he said smiling a little though he really didn't feel like it. "Well... I think I'm going to buy my own skateboard," he said looking over to Cinna, "So that I don't have to borrow Cinna's all the time." He was really going to try the practicing thing. If girls like boys who could skateboard, then Zander would become one of those boys. Eventually. It was worth a shot, okay? "Hopefully I'll get some time to practice.... How about you? Any summer plans?" Though his eyes were on the Hufflepuff, his mind was else where. Quote:

Vaguely, she could remember her first feast, her crying because Vivi would be leaving forever but now she was on the other side of that. SHE was the one leaving and she'd never felt better!! Quote:

The Gryffindor turned his attention back to the entrance hall, oh-so-desperately looking for any sign of Kevin Hirase. Where was the third year when you needed him? Anyways, upon turning back to the Gryffindor table, he noticed Kace making his way down to the seventh years. The two he was sort of avoiding eye contact with at the moment. Yet, something told him that he should be doing otherwise. With the Headmistress's speech soon to be underway, he didn't have much time left with the older students and though every fiber of his body was telling him not to move, he stood up anyways.
He was going to say goodbye. He was always planning to, but he just didn't want to. As if saying goodbye would solidify the fact that they were going. Would solidify the fact that there wouldn't be a Headgirl Lex to yell at the little ones, that there wouldn't be a Victor Bay to look up to, and lastly, that there wouldn't be a Lottie to run to for advice. It was both the best and the worst feeling, the end of the term feast. But mostly, it consisted of conflicting feelings that Zander didn't want to deal with, but by standing up, had already confirmed. Making his way towards their end now, he looked down at his feet while he approached. Once reaching the pair, he cleared his throat quietly. "I-uh, Hi Lex," he smiled faintly before turning to Lotus, "Lottie," and here goes nothing. He had to say things before they said anything to make him feel even worse about the whole end of the term.
"First off, uh, congratulations on graduating," though he didn't really feel like congratulating, he knew-- a little too well-- that they were both more than ecstatic to leave. Who would blame them? They'd get a chance to really live their lives outside of the castle. To go explore, to adventure, and to move on from things that were kind of hard to move on from when you had all the reminders sitting in classrooms, standing as a little memorial token, or even as portraits hanging up in the Gryffindor Common Room Library. "You were a great Prefect and an awesome Headgirl, Lex. And don't worry, I'll make sure to keep Kevin in line next year," Kevin sort of listened to him? Sometimes. Okay so that promise was a bit of an empty one, but really he'd try. They didn't really get into much trouble this year, right? Other than that one time in potions... Or when they were going to egg the herbology greenhouse... Or when they were trying to steal plants or when--- Okay. Point taken. Maybe not.
And then, turning to the other seventh year at the table. The one that didn't technically belong at the Gryffindor table, but really did belong here in every possible way. Quite possibly, the one he'd miss the most. And before he could stop himself from saying anything stupid, his mouth did the talking for him, "I'm going to miss you, a lot." Lotus had taught him so many great lessons in only the course of a year. And in the fourth year's opinion, those lessons were way more important than anything he could possibly learn in a classroom. And this was probably why he felt so horrible about this particular end of the term feast. If he wanted any old lesson, he just had to visit a Professor's office hours. But there was so much more to learn at Hogwarts and Lotus never judged him for any of his clueless questions or even his quick opinions or tendency to jump to conclusions. She always had this strange sense of understanding, yet was able to change his outlook without forcing any of her own opinions on him.
And that's precisely why he extended his arms and gave her a small hug. For understanding, always. "It's going to be so weird without you," both for Hogwarts in general and for Zander himself. But weird was kinda an understatement.
