Diego could just bounce in his seat from the excitement and energy radiating the table. Rose telling him that it was very special made it even more so. He then beamed at Bria. "I know! I feel so lucky to be sorted here. We HAVE to always win now!" He looked around and could see a familiar face (Beauden). Well, not just because they were a Sevvie and older, but from him working summers with his Papa. "Hi, are you sad about leaving us? Don't be! You got a good future ahead of you!" His eyes twinkled as he felt the power in his voice. "My Papa.. I mean... well, you know who he is. I'm sure he'd have a lot of good things to tell you too!"
He wasn't the only sevvie Diego would be talking to as Nadia addressed his question. "Yeah? Well, it's a good thing we won now. Are you going to play professionally now that you're graduating?" He had a lot of questions. He was a curious little bloke.
Paul thought about what he would've dealt with staying at the Hufflepuff table. Peace? Not really. Probably moping, since Hufflepuff didn't do so well. He felt like he contributed and it wasn't the end of the world, they could try again next year. What was nice though as he could blend in as only Idris acknowledged him personally.
A small smile emerged, "Well, I know like you surprises and all." Paul looked over to see if they were being watched. Yes, of course they were as he caught their older brother's eyes. Nesquik and Lady Fab... dating. Not a surprise. "You think your mum will okay having that many knittens around the house?" He could tell the thought of giving at least one of them up would tear Idris' heart apart. "Mm... don't worry about me. I'm fine. By the way..." He shifted his eyes a little, "My mums said they wanted to talk with us when we get back from the train." He had a feeling what that conversation would be. But a very tall figure looming over him interrupted his train of thought.
Ean arrived soon after the speech was made; his height may have intimidated others, but the look on his face would likely counteract such thoughts. Nope, he wasn't here to dish out detention or reprimand students this time. "Hello, all." He greeted once majority of their attention was on him. "Just came here to quickly say thank you for all the work and effort you did this year. Tonight just proved that nothing is impossible and even when down on our luck, we can rise as large as our lion's roar." Excuse the metaphor. Ahem.
"Anyway, congratulations. I'm proud of you all. To those graduating, some of you will be joining the workforce immediately, some playing professionally or awaiting your Scout's confirmation, others not quite sure on what the future entails... But that's okay. You all have a voice and a sound mind to consider before making your move. I'm an owl away for any more advice, career-wise or not." And that was it for the graduates. "To the rest of you returning next year, keep it up, expect some grand things next term. So, for now, enjoy your meal and a safe trip back." He gave any who may have a question time to ask before he returned to the staff table.
