"Hey Cassandra," she greeted the fifth year with a vague smile and a wave. "It certainly has been, hasn't it. Have you made any pen-pals this year?" It would be so sad to see them all leave.

And Mason didn't seem to be sad about graduating from Hogwarts at all. Or maybe deep down he was sad but he just didn't want to show it. Or maybe Kitty just wasn't as good at reading everyone's emotions as she thought she was. "Yeah, I'll be graduating next year," she answered with a nod. "I will really miss this place when I do, and even more I'll miss the teachers and students. But I have lots of protests to look forward to." She sighed. "Personally, I'd prefer eight years of school, like the Muggles have it."

"Hey Rooney!" she said in surprise as he came up and gave her a shoulder squeeze. Oh, was she going to miss him! Sure, they sometimes annoyed each other (and he was dating Katy) but in the end she liked him and really trusted him. Before she could say anything though, he was handing her a picture and passing on to the next person. "To dreams, to love, and to being yourself Rooney a Bronwyn," she read out loud, smiling as she did. "Thank you Rooney!" she called out after him loud enough so he could hear halfway down the table. When he was done passing out all the pictures she was going to try to talk with him about where he was going after Hogwarts.

"Of course you were awesome Sam," Kitty said with a smile, surprising herself slightly by giving the younger Ravenclaw a hug. "I would have had nightmares for ages if I was in your place. You and Dora both!"
