The glittering night sky is clear and visible through the enchanted ceiling, and the floating candles bedeck the entire hall in a warm golden light. All seems well with the world, aside from the empty plates still waiting for food to appear.

Minerva walked into the feast. End of term already. She walked quietly and sat down at her table. Looking around at everything. She was going to miss this beautiful hall this summer.

"Hi Minnie. I can't believe that it's already the End of term feast. Do you mind if I join you? I definitely want to be with friends right now. I'm going to miss some of the 7th years especially Kita." Alyssa tried to smile and hold back the rears that were threatening to flow.

Amethyst was wearing her robes, for the possible final time this term. She hand a box of tissues, knowing tears would flow. Most of which would be her own. She spotted to 'Puffs there at the table already. Gasp! Minerva and Alyssa--her two of three, maybe four, best female friends. She smiled and sat across from them. She set the tissue box out in the center of the table. "Hello girls," She said softly. "I hope all is well! Gosh..the first term went so fast!" She giggled nodding.

Minner smiled at her two girlfriends. "Of course you can join me. I don't want to end term alone." She smiled. "I can't believe term is ending either. I am so happy to be going home, but sad to be leaving."

End of term feast. Janice remembered when she first when there, almost 2 years ago. She put on the Sorting Hat, which landed her on this table with such nice people. It's only the matter of time until she will be in her seventh and final year, and by then she will be of age. Meaning not being a small girl anymore. She will grow up, and that scared her.

"Hey," she said to the people in the table. "Mind if I sit here?" There wasn't a lot of people there, so she reckons that it's okay.

"Sure you can sit with us." Minerva said and smiled.

Nope. Amy wasn't happy about this. It was the end of term feast, and she couldn't live with the idea that in a few days she'd be at home, putting up with an adopted sister and two baby siblings. Good lord. Though, she smiled to herself, she was glad that she'd finished her exams, as hard as they were she'd tried her best. She wasn't sure if she'd done amazing, but she reckoned she'd done well enough to carry on with everything she wanted to do for NEWTs.

Walking into great hall, the brunette sat down at the table, chin in arms as she waited for Sammy, or Everett, because she had still to apologise, or Jack. Her boyfriend. Cruel possibly, but she wondered if their relationship would last longer than the holidays and frankly, she was doubtful

Kita Aaron Nessie Penny come join us when you can.
 

"Hi Amethyst. Sure come and join us. The more the merrier."



"I feel the same way too. I can't believe that a whole term has already passed. I'm going to miss this place and all of you guys."



"Janice, sure come join us. Like I told Amethyst. The more the merrier. You ladies know each other right? I wonder whether Kita, Aaron, Nessie and Penny are going to join us. What about Jodi?" Alyssa asked Amethyst.

Jigglepuffs... and anyone else. xD And we apologise about the dramatisation
 

After saying goodbye to his fellow lions and to the snakes there were a few other stops Carter had to make.

And one of those stops was to Kita. They'd met many years ago... but they'd become particularly close lately. Especially after Caroline. She'd been there when he needed someone to talk to. Or just... someone to be there.

"Hey Captain." he said quietly greeting her with a little nod.

MINNIE!
Ronnie saw Minnie heading for the Hufflepuff table, and she dashed over to her and hugged her tightly. "Hey buddy!" she said. She was going to miss Minnie, terribly. She was like a sister to her. She was such an amazing friend, always there for you when you needed her most.

Minerva smiled. "Hey pumpkin" She smiled and gave Ronnie a hug. "You know you can come travel to my competitions if you would like then I won't have to miss you so much."

Ronnie smiled. "I'd love to! It sounds wicked!" she said excitedly. "I hate the fact that I have to be away from all of my friends." she said frowning. "With my brother's wedding and everything, it'll be quite a busy summer!" she said with a laugh. "Oh, you're totally welcome to come to the wedding if you'd like. I don't know the exact date, but I'll send an owl to you when I know for sure." she said smiling warmly.

Minnie smiled. "That will be fun. Yes let me know and if I can get away I will. I am going to miss you. Make sure to keep Harvs in line." Minerva giggled.

Kita blinked up at the boy now talking to her. Sure, it took her quite a while to realise that the 'Captain' was in reference to her but... she had an excuse. She wasn't Captain at the beginning of the term was she? So technically, she had less time to adjust than all the others.

... She really needed food right now.

Kita's lips stretched into a smile. "Why hai, Captain Phillips," she said, "And to what do i owe this pleasure?" Really? That was too formal!

"You will keep in touch please. Come to some of my competitions if you want and hopefully I can come to Salem. Aaron coming to visit you?"

Alyssa smiled when she saw Kita sit down at their house table. 'Where is Aaron,' Alyssa thought to herself. She made it a point to go look for him right after she was done saying goodbye to Kita, which was going to be a hard thing to do without crying again. "I'll be back, guys. Don't let anyone sit here." she told the others before running over to speak with Kita. But then she noticed Carter, the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain approach her, so not wanting to interrupt, she hung back and waited for them to be done.

" I hope you don't mind if I join you ladies. " said Justin as he walked up to the Hufflepuff table.

"Not at all bud." Minerva smiled and made room for Justin so he could sit with Ame.

Carter chuckled. The laughs nearly caused him to once again lose track of certain things forming in his eyes. Merlin... if someone chose to make fun of him he'd never hear the end of it.

Not after today.

He said goodbye to a freaking armchair. And not even a good armchair!

"I'm here to give you a hug and to tell you goodbye." he said. There was no point in buttering that up.

Minerva smiled as she came back from visiting. She sat down next to Alyssa, Justin, Ame when Alyssa got up. "No problem chicka no one will take your place." She smiled. Then looked at Justin and Ame so whats the news love birds." She smiled jokingly at her friends. Glancing over to the claw table and then turning back to Justin and Ame.

Ronnie had made it to the end of the term. She was glad to be done for the term and wasn't even sure if she wanted to come back next term. She was tired and ready to be home. Well maybe not since her father had died she didn't want to be alone with her step dad all summer that would kill her.

She hoped that Simon would take her on tour of the summer. They had talked about it at least.

Ronnie sighed and sat down at the table next to some one she didn't know.

"Hey Ronnie, how are you doing?" Minerva asked she wasn't sure if Ronnie even remembered her since they talked way back at the beginning of term. She looked around at everyone in their conversation and then glanced back at Ravenclaw. She hoped someone would come talk to her at her table, but then she shook her head from that thought. Turning back to Ronnie giving Ronnie her full attention.

Furmgoat was a busy owl, sending all these letters and packages to the the the students at the big castle. The tawny owl flew into the great hall, swooping under the enchanted ceiling as his beady owl eyes searched for his girl person.

There she was!

"Ho." Furmy landed on the table beside Amy, coming dangerously close to knocking around all the empty bowls and plates. He waited for the package to be removed before flapping his wings and flying back out of the great hall.
