Becca had been in denial that this day was drawing near. Now it had come, and she was trying to keep her composure. She was succeeding pretty well for the time being. Now that Tate had given his speech, Becca decided it was okay to approach the table. Vindictus was first on her goodbye list. "Sir," she began, marching up to the opposing side of the table from him. "It has been my greatest pleasure to have you as my Head of House and Flying Professor all these years." She paused, observing him and the pie that was disappearing before her eyes. She owed him a lot. He had taught her the important things in life like competition, being a winner, and fighting until the very end. Of course there were other things - like having fun, and the significance of being a Ravenclaw, which was that they basically won at life. Pretty much. "Without you, I wouldn't have become the Quidditch player I am today. You taught me all the basics... and then the more intense skills as time went on." She hesistated again, finding it much more awkward to share her feelings with Vindictus than it was with the Quidditch team. "So I really just wanted to say... thank you. For everything. It's been great." She extended her hand to the man, unsure of what else to do. |

"It's no wonder the students behave as they do," he whispered back in a hushed tone. "Puts me off my meal." Quote:
Well said. Well said, indeed. A relatively quiet term, compared to what he'd heard about terms past. A successful job fair; an joyful alumni ball. No mayhem. No madness. Well, except maybe from that Potions woman. Preston scoffed, internally, at the thought of what had transpired. He looked out over the hall, eyes lingering over the 7th years who would leave as he absentmindedly ran a finger along the rim of his cup. |

"Yeah..." One hand slipping out of his pocket, Raiden rubbed the back of his neck. "He still is one of the best." He would just be one of the best professors somewhere else, was all. But still... it did suck that Truebridge and Lawson were leaving. Especially since Lafay was staying. "She wouldn't. He's not a defenceless child," he murmured wryly. He was a staff member, surely she'd know better than to harass them, at least. Eyes settling on the headmaster for a moment, he turned the man's speech over in his mind for a minute before looking at Nancy again. "I'll miss you next term." He smiled. "It was nice, working with you as prefect." |
Lisa! Patty! Mel! Conner! It was with a heavy heart that Ivory made her way over to the staff table, her nose a little red and her shoulders just the tiniest bit hunched. The term had finally come to an end and soon she'd be boarding the Hogwart's Express to go home. Home to her family. Well one of her families, since the thing was...she always counted the people at Hogwarts as her second family. A family she cared about a lot and one she wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to yet. Especially to some of the most important family members, but now it seemed that she'd have to. Already just the thought of saying goodbye was giving her a slight lump in her throat and as she made her way over to Lady Lawson and saw her bestie already there giving their favorite professor a hug, she couldn't help a smile as she reached out her arms to join the hug. "Me too," she admitted sniffing."Very, very much. Hogwarts won't be the same without you..." Turning, she gave a tearful smile to Sir Lawson because she'd miss him too. "or be the same without you. We're all going to miss you guys." She said with a meaningful look at Professor Truebridge, who taught them all so much. |

Tate had been sitting. Enjoying his meal. Having a drink. Ignoring the dramas. Sigh. It couldn't last. He stood again and waved. "Before we leave, I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our House Cup winners. Congratulations to Slytherin House on your win this term. Even with the unfortunate set back at the beginning of the term, you lot pulled through to victory based on your hard work and spirit of cooperation. I'm sure your current Head of House is very proud, but I am certain that the Head of House who saw you through most of the term will leave our hallowed halls knowing he instilled in all of you a sense of fair play and the rewards of effort." "I'd also like to acknowledge the Hufflepuffs for winning the Quidditch Cup this term. You played amazingly well, and you are a credit to your house. Special thanks to your captain," he nodded in the direction of the Badgers. |
Preston turned to the Headmaster once more, having not heard the mutterings of Professor Lafay. He applauded for the Slytherins. It had been quite impressive, their efforts. He would have loved to see a closer race, each keeping pace with the other, but all the same, the students had all worked hard and Slytherin house was indeed deserving of the cup. Taking a long drink of his water, he also gave a nod to Hufflepuff. Even if he did think Quidditch was a waste of time, they had achieved something, he supposed. "Well done, all around," he said to no one in particular, before taking another long drink. |
Hecate applauded for her house. She turned to Ethan and nodded in his direction as Tate spoke about the 'other' Head of House. "Do enjoy your time in Cairo, and try to get some color..." she whispered in his direction. |
The clinking of his chinaware cup was about the only sound Kapoor had made this end of term feast. That, and the slight slurping noise as he tried to get a trickle of tea that had drizzled down the side of the cup when he drank from it. It had been fun, being back inside the old castle walls of his boyhood school. Getting to work along side such wonderful teachers had also been a blessing. He dropped a sugar cube into his cup with a plop!!! and refilled one last cup. |

After finishing his tea, Kapoor turned the cup over and placed it on the saucer upside down. He couldn't help being a little curious as to what it might say. He then sat up and made his way over to some of the student tables to with them well on their summer break from school. |
