Violet could tell that everyone was making Ash a bit emotional, and also knew that the Ravenclaw girl would hate that. Suddenly they were interrupted by another Ravenclaw (Teddy) interrupting with a hug and a kiss for Violet's younger friend. Hmm, that seemed to make Ash even more unsettled. Well, Violet knew when to back out of a situation--apparently there were a lot of goodbyes to be had at the Ravenclaw table. For that matter, she had some of her own to take care of before dinner was over.

"Okay, 'bye then, I'll write you later," she said to Ash, before heading over to her own table, where everyone played it cool as a serpent.
