Era
age 17, June 2074

The end of an era, that’s what this was. That was the thought on Jake’s mind as he stepped into the Great Hall for the End of Term Feast of his seventh year at Hogwarts.

What he felt couldn’t exactly be called sadness; it wasn’t that he was upset to be leaving the school, not after having been through so much there. Or maybe having gone through so much at Hogwarts was part of why it was difficult to say goodbye. More likely, he had simply got used to the place; the common room, the castle, the grounds, the Quidditch pitch.

Because it was hard to let go, even after spending so much time insisting he didn’t want to be there. Now that it was finally time… well, it wasn’t quite as easy as he had imagined.

Perhaps it was the not knowing. Not knowing what was going to happen next, what to expect from the adult world. At school it was… maybe not safe, but certainly comfortable. Predictably unpredictable. Out there, he was stepping into the great unknown.

But he was ready.

The end of an era. The beginning of a new one.
