Kamran lowered his gaze again and looked across at Leanne, setting his goblet down as he did so. Aware of the situation with her daughter, he had the presence of mind to side-step the specifics of his plans (of which his own children played a large part) and said, "Catching up with everyone, mostly. My parents are hosting a get-together in August, and I'm told many of my overseas relatives will be there." Though he left out Laleh, Dariush, and Z.J., this was still true. Kamran, though not of an openly excitable nature, was very much looking forward to seeing his extended family.

"Good evening, Tapio," Kamran called back, with a raise of the hand in greeting. A good choice, ultimately, for taking on the Herbology post and completing the work of bringing the greenhouses back to their former glory (and beyond). "And to you, Norman," who was, of course, as on the ball with keeping an eye on the students as he ever was. "Evening, Simon. I'm happy to agree with you there." Merlin's Pride. Kamran had not even been in the country at the time, of course, but he knew much about what had happened during the course of the IMPS because his eldest had been a second year at Ilvermorny at the time.

And now she was a mother. Merlin. Kamran needed to sit down.

... He was already sitting down.

_____

Right. Yes. Speech.

Getting to his feet, Kamran cleared his throat and called for the attention of the students, temporarily interrupting chatter of summer plans and fond farewells and whatever else happened to be the topic of conversation. When he had quiet, he spoke in a ringing voice for all to hear.

"Good evening, everyone. Only a few small notices before we officially wrap up this term. First, for those who might have missed the news, the out-of-bounds areas on the ground floor will once again be freely accessible next term. The guest we had staying there - a rather precious and highly sought after young sphinx - will be taking up residence in the Forbidden Forest instead, now that she is more able to look after herself." By the way, more reason to not go in there without permission... but that kind of notice was for the start of term. "I have no doubt that you'll be seeing more of her in the future."

Except the seventh years, of course, and those transferring out. Speaking of.

"To those of you leaving us for good, I wish you the best of luck moving forward. Do try to put what you have learnt to good use out there, be it in academia or careers or embarking on thrilling adventures, or building your lives. You're all more than capable of thriving, in whatever way best suits you, so long as you keep putting in the effort." Alright, pep talk and/or lecture over. "All the best to you. And to those of you who will be returning, I look forward to seeing you all again in two months' time. Enjoy your break, and be ready to learn again by then. To those who took the exams, OWL and NEWT results will be owled out to you in a couple of weeks."

Not to be terribly biased or anything - because Kamran would never (out loud)- but he figured he'd find some enjoyment in this next part. "And finally, congratulations are in order for Slytherin house, for winning the House Cup this year." It was getting to be a closer and closer race every year, wasn't it? Kamran led the applause here, and turned a small smile towards his old house, then out at the entire convergence of students. "Now, enjoy your feast. We'll meet again in September." Most of them, anyway.

Kamran sat down and took another sip from his goblet; as he'd finished the speech, the house and staff tables had filled themselves with the usual feast fare.
