"Chained to the table." She said as if this was nothing new. "Keep in touch? But... you said... last term. I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me now... because of..." She tried to remember the memories in his pensieve, but the one she knew was the important one would not come to her.

"It... it's over..." he said quietly. The chaining to the table fleeing his mind the moment that the events of the last two years came up. "It's all over now."

Heather walked up to say good bye to her beloved professors. She smield shyly even though she's known them all year." I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me everything I needed to learn to be a better wizard even if I wasn't the best. "She smiled a small smile and looked at all of them.

"That's good isn't it?" She asked. How couldn't it be... unless Xana died... She wasn't as happy as she thought she'd be at that idea... actually she wasn't happy at all. "Xana...?"

Amelia snickered as Cora chorused her song; they were quite the talented duo in such a way that it saddened that Melita wasn't invited. She would have been quite impressed by two of her dancing queen members of the choir. Noticing the wave Cora gave someone, she looked over to see the groundskeeper smiling, as she through an acorn at him. Ooh! Let's just hope it didn't hit his head... Giggling, she waved at Neo as well before continuing their singing and dancing fiend, hardly paying attention to the Slytherin prefect who just approached Erikson.

"If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere!!" She sang, holding her hands out to the crazy snake.

Caleum was just about to speak when two dancing chicks made their way towards the table. Now, as odd as this school year had been, nothing compared to the dancing females that stood before them. One of the girls he recognized from the classroom incident. "Ahem," he said clearing his throat to Mia. "There will be no skipping during the end of the term feast. Do I make myself clear on the matter?" His eyes ventured upwards without a smile.

Amelia frowned at the sound of the voice of Professor Myers; the professor whose class she had sneaked into not that long ago. "Skipping? Oh but Professor, we weren't skipping, just singing and dancing!" she explained sweetly. "Besides, it is our last year and last feast.. I am sure that when you were a student, you too wanted to leave your final mark on the school," she winked at him. How could one argue with that?

He shook his head, offering a small smile. "Xana is fine. Off with Claudian, I believe." Though his smile remained, his words became sour... bitter. "She's lived peacefully since she graduated, I believe. A freedom won for her."

Caleum finally broke out into a smile. "Oh, I left plenty of marks at Hogwarts, I just won't go into detail. Let's just say I was quite a prankster in my days of school," he said. "Well, I wish you both the best."

'Devin' the kneazle appeared mid jump headed straight for Erickson's Lap.

Amelia beamed when the Professor, whom she could hardly call hers, smiled. While she didn't know him very well, she was quite sure that he didn't smile often. "Thank you Professor," she replied. "And the same to you as well." Once that was taken care, she looked back at her counterpart, raving Slytherin dancing queen and nodded that they should continue...

New song.

"I know that after tonight...You don't have to look up at the stars," she started singing, looking at her fellow seventh year chaser.

Before he knew it, there was a kneazle in Erikson's lap. He suppressed the need to scream and instead jumped back, shoving at the kneazle and nearly falling as his chair toppled over. When he'd gathered his wits, he noticed the kneazle looking famliar, and not necessarily in any sort of good way. "A-- DEVIN!!!"

Ari headed over to the dias and surveyed spots to sit. She was startled when Erikson suddenly jumped from his seat causing her to nearly trip over the turned over chair. She managed to catch herself and set the chair upright. "Here you go." Ari gave a smile before heading and ruffling Eddie's hair before taking a seat next to him. "Hey, Alex! I'm glad you're doing better." She grinned at her friend.

Jason saw the Muggle professor, Professor DuMont. " Hello Professor DuMont" Jason told him. Jason saw Professor Myers" Hi professor Myers" Jason told them

Constantine raised a quick hand into the air and caught the tossed acorn, quickly pocketing it while nodding his head in thanks to the girl. His attention turned to Caleum, who looked like he was having a chat with Amelia. He quickly snorted at the mention of Caleum being a prankster. "Oh, please. You couldn't pull off half those pranks with out my planning. I was the one who knew the professors schedules like they were written on the back of my hand."

Still chuckling lightly, he caught sight of Ariana out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head a little to notice her take a seat beside Eddie down at the end. He leaned forward onto the table and stroked his chin lightly, contemplating going over, until finally...

"I'll be back, Professor Myers," he said quietly, getting up from his seat and walking down the Dias, over to where Forrester and Ariana were. "Is this seat taken?" he asked, motioning to the empty one on Ari's other side.

Ari looked up and gave a laugh. Taking a hold of Conny's arm she all but dragged him into the seat beside her. "There. Now it is." She gave a small grin. "Ready for the summer?"

Headmistress Rae found her way to her seat, leaving one open on each side of her as always. One for Doyle, and one for Lainey if she ever returned. The students looked bright and happy, and the professors seemed to brighten considerably as well, considering all that had happened.

There was, of course, the completely indecorous behavior of the seventh year girls, and Rae gestured for them to approach the dias. "I think your point... and mark... has been made. You two ought to return to your seats before you wear holes in your shoes It's been known to happen."

Wearing navy blue robes that made his eyes bluer than ever, Professor Vindictus arrived at the feast and stepped up behind the girls Professor Rae was addressing. "The Headmistress is right," he said and looked around to see if his best mate from school had arrived.

Cassandra growled low as she waited for Devin to get off the professor. "Professor, are you alright?" She asked him offering her hand. "I'm truly sorry."

"Whoa," came from Neo's lips as he felt Ari pulling him into the chair. "Okay...ow," he rubbed his arm lightly, pretending that she hurt it. "Geez woman, calm down a little," he teased. "I'm totally not ready for the summer," he said truthfully. He was going to tell a woman that he had loved her for 20 years. It wasn't exactly something he had been practicing in his head everyday.

Devin jumped off Erickson and on to the floor, sticking a tongue out at Cassandra. "Meow."

Ari stuck her tongue out. "I'm a nurse I can tell the fake pain from the real thing." She teased right back and raised an eyebrow when he mentioned not looking forward to summer. Ari patted his hand. "I'm looking forward to seeing my family...for the most part. Not quite looking forward to the bombardment of marriage questions." Ari told him rolling her eyes for emphasis.

Amelia looked up from Cora and her singing to see the familiar face of the Headmistress, who didn't exactly seem too pleased with their show. Hesitantly, she took Cora's hand and quietly approached the dias, listening to what the esteemed woman had to say about their performance.

Then, to make matters worse, the Quidditch Official appeared from behind them and said simply, the headmistress is right.

Gulping, the seventh year's face was redder from the combination of both embarrassment and the dancing. "Of course Headmistress, but before we go, might I bother you for who wore holes in their shoes? Just curiosity is all.."

"There's a dancing queen in every class. I truly do appreciate your enthusiasm," she smiled warmly at the girls. "But I would like to speak to the students without having to sing the harmony to your melody or else just yell over you. Perhaps we can have some singing and dancing later, after the speeches and eating?"

"Okay, one of these days, I will manage to lie to you about some sort of injury. Mark my words. I will get you," he smirked and then sighed as she patted his hand. "Marriage questions?" He raised an eyebrow, "Why would they need to bombard you with marriage questions?"
