Nicolas entered the Great Hall and glanced about, it was empty but he could tell the elves had already set up for the ceremony to follow. This was the first time that he would be initiating a school-wide ceremony and it frightened him a little bit. Alicia still hadn't been found and now the school year was concluding, she had to be found over the summer otherwise Nicolas was sure the Ministry would step in and install a new headperson.
Nicolas stepped up onto the raised platform with the podium and the staff table behind it. He placed a scroll on the podium and looked out once more across the Great Hall, he didn't know hoe this was going to go or how people would react to the fact that it was not the Headmistress conducting this ceremony, how it may remind them all of her absence. He frowned slightly, knowing that he had to do this but wishing Alicia was here to, before he sat down at the Staff table and waited for the rest of the assembly to gather.
Soon enough the hall was filled with students, each house at it's own table and a murmur of voices filling the room. Nicolas stood and walked toward the podium, raising his hand to silence the crowd. When the hall fell silent Nicolas smiled then looked across each house table before speaking, "It's been another great year at Hogwarts." He began, knowing that such a statement very much depended on your point of view. For instance, it had not been such a great year for him but he made the statement nevertheless. "I'd like to begin by thanking each of you for making this school year as wonderful as ever. Next, I'd like to bid our guests from Hogwarts in Scotland and from Durmstrang goodbye and thank them for having come here for the TriWizard Tournament. I know we've all very much enjoyed and appreciated your company." Nicolas nodded toward the Headmistress of Durmstrang and then the one from Scotland before he focused his attention back to the crowd as a whole.
"Now for what I'm sure you've all been waiting for -- the House Cup!" There came great cheering as Nicolas mentioned the cup and he held his hand up once more to hush the room. "This year it was as tight a race as ever, each house striving for this goal and only one being able to achieve it. I am pleased to announce that this year the House Cup goes to..." Nicolas paused a moment at this point to create a little more suspense. "GRYFFINDOR!" Great cheering erupted from the Gryffindor table as scarlet and gold banners fell from the enchanted ceiling of the hall to herald the house's victory. "Congratulations, Gryffindor, and best of luck to ever house for next year, I'm sure it'll be another great competition."
Next, Nicolas simply clapped his hands, "Let the feast begin." The house tables were instantly filled with mountains of food as Nicolas retreated back to his spot at the staff table, glad the year was finally over.
