Graduation 2027: Guests

[Roman Ivo]

House banners representing the houses that the four creators, Salazar Slytherin, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw, had made shown high above the Great Hall. Thousands of lit candles gave it a mysterious glow to the Great Hall. After he had presented the Year Eleven graduates, the fifth set of graduates to have left the school, Roman took a seat and he gazed over the area, watching the guests and the newly graduates mingle in with the crowd of family, some not so pleased, some crying, and some too happy or proud to even speak. Roman himself was surprised that there were this many graduates, comparing to the last few classes that had gone through here. It reminded him of sorting, that many have stuck around, some transferred off to another school and some transferred into this one. Roman was somewhat proud, but it did not show in his cold, graying eyes.

The Headmaster gazed over the staff, wondering if they too were going to miss the graduates. Roman thought that he just might, however names and faces will not be remembered as fresh new faces of next year replace what has been lost this year. "When one door closes, another one opens", and this statement has never been truer than it was right now, to welcome the current sixth years into the positions of the seventh years that just graduated today.

 

[Effie Kingston]

Effie had been feeling really unwell this morning. But that was not going to stop her from getting up to see her nice and nephew, along with the the rest of the students she had been teaching for the past seven years Graduate. They had all worked very hard to get here and she wanted them to all know she was proud. She made sure to dress up in some nice clothing and do her hair up a little. It was a little obvious in her face that she wasn't feeling good, but she tried to give herself some color and make her eyes look more lively so she didn't bring down the mood. Right now she probably looked like a little doll because of her dress and how petite she seemed. Upon Arriving to the Great Hall she noticed that there was already a lot of people here. This must have been a bigger class than previous years, she actually had to find a good empty area that had a seat close to the edge to sit down at. Effie managed to find one near the front row and sat herself down before she rubbed her stomach uneasily. She felt sick again, and she wanted it to go away before the ceremony started. She sat alone for awhile until she was joined by two familiar faces. Amauri and Vincent, her new nephew-in-law. A small smile rose to her face and she sat up a little. "Hello you two." Was all she said as she watched them carefully. Maybe with some familiar faces about she wouldn't feel so sick. The two men made her a little nervous but not the sickly kind of nervous. They sort of intimidated her. Amauri because he was cold and she could never tell if he was fond of someone or not, and Vincent because he was an Auror. Even if he was the sweetest thing ever, he was a good man for Alyssa. It wasn't long before Roman Yvo, the current Headmaster stood up and began the ceremony. Effie's different colored eyes immediately allowed her to tune into his words. It didn't last too long and pretty soon Theodore's speech was up and Effie pushed her sick feeling away to grin. Never did she think that her little nephew would be up there. It was so easy to tell he was Alyssa's twin two, they would look identical if it wasn't for the different color eyes. They even had the same nose.

'You can tell that boy didn't plan out his speech, so Theodore like. Oh well it was nice to hear him be so open though.' Effie smiled and also made sure to pay close attention when one of her favorite Hufflepuff students came forward to give her speech. It was obvious that this had all been on the young girls mind for awhile. It really pleased Effie when one of her own became the Head Boy or Girl, they weren't a house that won the house cup a lot and such but she still knew they worked hard, and stayed out of trouble for the most part. When both speeches ended Effie's sister Seraphine also had to give a speech. It was amazing how much family she had here today. Even her brother Alphonse showed up to see his children Graduate. Then the Graduate's were called up to receive their diploma's. Effie clapped for every single one until Alyssa's name was called. This made Effie pause in worry. 'They called her by Chevalier, and Alphonse and Theodore didn't know about the marriage!' Effie glance sideways to Vincent and Amauri before she gulped. "Oh no." Her voice was soft and barely even audible except for maybe the two beside her. Just by Theodore's face she could tell that he was unhappy. Effie couldn't see Alphonse's though and that made her worry enough as it was. Still, Effie continued to clap for every single Graduate and when it was all over she wondered why she felt like she wanted to cry. A sudden burst of emotion was hitting her. Perhaps she was just so proud for them both.

 

[Hades Styx]

Hades would have never thought that he would be actually be walking in the corridors of Hogwarts New Zealand. Then again this was not the first time they had allowed Death Eaters into the premises without knowing. Hades made sure his cover was not blown while he was having some fun. Hades entered with his father, and his step-mother. He also had someone he knew here graduating, actually more than one. There was Hadan, Miriah, Theodore and Patricia. His onyx eyes landed on the graduates for a moment, before he chuckled and sat down next to Professor Styx. He had no idea if he was going to be proud of his daughter or not, but Hades just shook his head lightly when his half-sister made her speech. Hades glanced around the place, knowing that this place was filled with several parties. Aurors and Death Eaters alike, they came here for one purpose: that was to see their family graduate. It was not something that happened too often. Hades smirked a bit, but he did not turn his eyes from the front. As creepy as he looked, Hades did not care. He was growing more and more into the the world of evil at an unbelievable pace. Hades however dismissed all thought and focused on the graduation. He folded his arms across his trench coat, light sounds of the metal zippers to close it clicked very lightly. He was told by many to be on his best behavior today, and to not bring so much attention to himself. With the way I look, that won't be a problem, thought Hades sarcastically.

 

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

It didn't take Professor Weasley long at all to get herself ready. She had never really dressed up for any graduation except her own, but she still had taken the trouble to put on a new dress, a pair of heels she already owned and some jewelry before donning her professor's robe and heading downstairs. As she stepped inside, she quickly found her seat with the other Heads of House. This particular class was quite special to her for a number of reasons and Cyndi had a tissue tucked into the pocket of her robes though she hoped she wouldn't have reason to use it. Not only was this the first set of Gryffindors she would watch graduating as acting Head of Gryffindor House but this was also the final group of students that she could distinctly recall knowing from when she'd been a student herself.

When Roman Ivo took to the stage, Professor Weasley listened to him, eagerly awaiting the speeches of the Headboy and girl. Theodore Snow's speech was great and Cyndi clapped politely after, recalling when he'd been much younger and she'd played quidditch against him and his house. Patricia she knew much better and she listened intently to the Headgirl's speech. It was a long one, but it was very Patricia and brought a tear to Cyndi's eye though she was able to blink it away quickly. Another speech followed, suprisingly from Seraphine Snow, but Professor Weasley was glad to see the woman thought the graduation worthy enough for her to attend. Other politicians might not. As the students prepared to walk the stage after, Professor Weasley smiled, clapping for each one and knowing exactly how they had to be feeling as they awaited their diplomas.

 

[Charles Fera]

Hogwarts New Zealand was never a place that Charles thought he would have to set foot in, but today was an exception. Today was the day of the Graduation of the current 7th years and as such he had been invited as a guest but his friend; who also happened to be pregnant with his baby. It was still a strange concept that he was still trying to get used too. In a matter of months he was going to be a father and while he was scared to his wits a small part of him couldn’t help but be a bit excited at the thought of him being part of bringing a new life into the World. He knew now that he and Luna were both too young to be doing such a thing but from what he heard there was already a girl in same Graduating class that had a daughter, who was already a few months old – not only was the mother in the Graduating class but so was the father and they were already wed?! Becoming a father was one thing but Charles didn’t know if he could stand being a husband this early either. Finding a seat in the reserved area for family and friends he watched the Ceremony. This was a lot different from his own Graduation which had happened the previous day. People seemed a lot more sentimental but that was an emotion that not many Durmstrang students experienced, even at their own Graduation. After the speeches he watched as the students went up to receive their diplomas. He may only be the guest of one person but he did know a few here today, some friends, some not. When Luna went to accept her diploma his eyes widened slightly at just how big she had gotten since the last time he had seen her. Sure he knew that mothers-to-be got big during pregnancy but at such a rate! When the Ceremony was over he made his way over to his friends to congratulate them and to see how Luna was doing. They had been in correspondence with each other via owl but he felt it was better, talking face to face.

 

[Giselle Varius]

Giselle gave one more twirl in the mirror before deciding that her dress was pretty enough to make her way to the Graduation that was about to start downstairs. She felt like such a big girl as she made her way downstairs and entered the Great Hall which was full of mostly grown ups, all dressed in nice clothes; the Hall looked different too! Giselle found her aunt, Rosaline, and made her way over to the red headed woman and sat beside her. The two girls chatted for a while, mostly about the big bump on her aunt Rosaline’s abdomen. Giselle was old enough to know that her aunt was pregnant and asked all the questions under the sun; the gender, names – the usual really. Soon she had to quieten down as the Ceremony started and people started to make speeches. Giselle found the speeches very boring and started to squirm in her seat to see if she could find Aiden, it was hard to see him as she was so tiny but soon names started to be called out and after a while she finally heard Aiden’s name. She was still a little sad at the name change but she had one of her own now but she knew that despite different names, they were still family. She clapped the loudest for Aiden as she went up to receive his diploma. When everyone finally received their diplomas Giselle got up with her aunt and ran ahead of her to find Aiden and give him a big hug.

 

[Efeyenia Samartzi]

Normally people who would return to a school that they were at but never got to leave properly they would feel a pang of sadness at the very least but not Efeyenia Samartzi. Far from it in fact, As of a few months ago Nia loved her life as a working girl with a bit of private tutoring on the side so she could stick to her contract and achieve a minimum of five NEWTs, two of which had to be an E+. She was finding it difficult to juggle the fast paced lifestyle that was the fashion world and one that she had fallen in love with almost instantly. It was almost a year ago when she started her summer internship with Wang International as her fathers idea of something for her to do during the holidays. Although what her dad hadn’t bet on was Nia loving it so much that she never wanted to leave. Sure she had always had the idea of working in the fashion industry but she didn’t think it was be so addictive. Nia had worked her way up from the coffee making intern that she was supposed to be to one of the main designers for the company, even shipping a few of her own ideas. In fact the dress that she was wearing today was one of her own designs, but just something that she made for herself – not for work.

Nia found a seat in the Great Hall and waited for the Graduation Ceremony to begin and end. She hadn’t seen most of her friends since Alyssa’s wedding during the Christmas holidays and missed them all dearly. Although two people that she hadn’t seen in even longer were top on her list to see were her boyfriend; James Bell and her first and bestest-best friend; Isabella Chaos. She hadn’t seen either in what felt like the longest time. With James having family commitments and Nia’s work schedule being so hectic she felt like she never saw her boyfriend anymore and she missed him with all her heart. Then Isabella, well she had disappeared off to Durmstrang without so much as a peep and Nia had missed her so much but that was all going to change shortly. Soon the speeches were over and the diplomas were being given out. Nia clapped louder for her friends and her boyfriend and as the ceremony was over she could hardly contain the excitement anymore as she got up of her seat and went in search of her friends.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette wasn't exactly sure if being invited to Patricia's Graduation was a good thing or if it wasn't. By all means she wanted to go and support her daughter. But being who she was, Nicolette was just slightly nervous about the amount of risks that she could be taking by going out and doing this. But she wasn't going to do anything but appear as nothing more than a normal mother cheering on her child as she Graduated and went out into the world. So there wasn't a lot to worry about. Today wasn't really about her or her being nervous either, it was about the Graduate's and them getting their diploma's. The past seven years they have all worked hard for this and Nicolette knew that this day meant so much to Patricia. The girl had done well and it made the family proud. Well Nicolette proud as she couldn't say too much about how it made it Kalif and the others feel. That's why whether or not she was uneasy she was going to go. She dressed herself not much differently than what she always wore. Nicolette always wore dresses so she had plenty to choose from. She didn't do much with her hair but leave it down and wavy, and there wasn't much make-up on either. The old natural look was going to do just fine for today as she wasn't naturally pretty without the stuff on. The children were going to be watched by a family member who wasn't attended the Graduation. So that meant for an hour or so she would be child free. Well not completely child free, there was the baby she was carrying right now.

Nicolette took a seat next to Hades in the Great Hall and breathed out. Being pregnant wasn't any fun, she was only four months and she already felt like a cow. But she would put on a brave face just for Patricia. It felt kind of weird to see Hades in public as well, and where her husband worked. It still cracked her up that he taught teenagers, the poor man. The ceremony soon started and as quickly as he got up the Minister let the Head Boy and Head Girl do their speeches. Theodore's was typical, short and to the point. It was strange seeing him up there as Head Boy, but then again this boy really surprised everyone with everything he did. Next was Patricia. Her speech was very well thought out, something typical of Patricia. Nicolette almost cracked a smile. She liked seeing her children happy. Even if the whole concept of the Graduation was a little obnoxious. These children had no idea what going out in the real world would really mean. Still, when it came time for each of them to go up and get their diploma's she clapped for every single one of them. Making sure to clap just a little louder when it came to the ones she knew or was related to, to be called up to receive theirs. Once the Ceremony was over she would be excited to catch up with Patricia, she still had yet to tell her the news.

 

[Prodan Zhefarovich]

There was something about attending graduations that Prodan liked. He was currently wearing a suit to fit the occasion, and it wasn't that fancy at all. The Muggle Studies professor found it rather sad that next year, his first son would be graduating. He frowned slightly, and he hoped that things would turn out well for his son, Austin. Prodan entered the Great Hall, his silver eyes a little tired from the lack of sleep the previous night but he did not mind so much. He crossed the Great Hall where he sat with other family members alike - though he was sitting by the Auror, Amauri; they had three of their own graduating, which were Miriah, Hadan and Patricia. It was a no wonder why there were a lot of family here today. The family was spread out, but Prodan wasn't so much close as he was with the ones that had already passed away. Then again, Kalif was behind him too. Prodan turned around in his seat and greeted his family members before he greeted Amauri. They didn't have a past really, but they knew each other. Prodan glanced up when the speeches rolled along, clapping for each of them. Prodan felt like he was a little behind in the times, surprised to see that there was a Snow leading New Zealand. Then the diplomas were given out, and Prodan clapped for all of the students. They had come a long way, and now, it was their time to lead. He was proud.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Kalif did not want to even attend graduation this year, but his daughter was graduating, and he was a professor, so it was something that was necessary. He wore his typical clothing and he had entered in a little later than Hades and Nicolette, making sure that the babysitter would be taking care of the children. His black eyes were aggravated, and irritated. Kalif however strode through the Great Hall, his black robes flowing behind him as he made his way through the crowds that he hated so much before he found his wife and Hades, and took a seat between them. Comparing Nicolette to himself and Hades, she looked like she was a colorful girl, but thankfully all marks were hidden right now. As far as he knew for himself and Nicolette. He was not too sure on Hades anymore. Kalif was going to remain undercover for as long as he could. He had earned his position as Slytherin Head of House, and the Slytherins were finally behaving themselves for the most part. He was growing more and more irritated as the class went up and got their diplomas. This was the class that he had come to school to teach, when they were first years, and one would think that he would be perhaps saddened or even relieved, but he knew better. Most of them, he would probably end up seeing again more than he would like to.

 

[Yvo Rowan]

Yvo glanced around the Great Hall with an unsure gaze before he casually took a seat and let out a soft breath. He had come here today because Patricia had invited him. She was Graduating today and since he thought she was pretty cool, he made sure he didn't have work today, ran out to purchase her a Graduation gift, and headed straight here. It seemed that there were more people graduating than he expected too because it was packed! There wasn't very many people he knew aside from the few members of Patricia's family that he had met during the break between Patricia's Sixth and Seventh year. Ariah wasn't going to be here either so there went that idea. It was strange seeing where his sister went to school because he was so accustomed to seeing Durmstrang, and even a little bit of Beauxbatons when he had gone there for some time. The Gift he had brought was clutched in his hand tightly before he decided it would just be best to place it in his pocket so he didn't destroy the box or lose it. He also was going to surprise Patricia by telling her that he had gotten a job in the Ministry as an Obliviator. He was so happy he finally had a job at the ministry, and a good one at that! When the Ceremony started he watched carefully as speeches were made, tears were shed, and smiles grew. He had to admit that Patricia had quite the speech going on. She looked really happy up there, there was probably some really good memories she was leaving behind this year. Once the speeches were done and over with, and all the diploma's were given out. Yvo wondered if he should get up and approach Patricia or wait. Probably wait as she had family here too.

 

[Venita Hensel]

This was a huge day for Venita Johnson, so she made sure to dress formally, but she did not wear dresses much at all. So, she wore black dress pants and a white button up shirt that covered her arms with soft sleeves. Her hair was brushed and her brown eyes shown with brilliance. She entered the Great Hall with a subtle smile on her face, and she knew that she was meant to be here. To watch her only two surviving daughters out of three graduate. At times, she wished that her youngest was here to see this, even as a ghost. But it was not meant to be. Venita sat by herself, and she smiled ahead, staring at the unfamiliar faces. She had yet to be reacquainted with her real family, but she was slowly adjusting. The tattoo was upon her back now, and though it still burned now, she embraced the burning sensation with a new meaning. Venita released a soft sigh once the speeches were given, and she liked them both rather well. Then the diplomas. Venita clapped when she heard her daughter's names. The oldest and then the youngest. Venita favored no house, after all, she did in fact attend Durmstrang. She was proud of her daughters, despite the fact that she was not around them for the majority of their lives, but she was going to make up for it. She had no excuse not to.

 

[Chavdar Zhefarovich]

Chavdar Zhefarovich was not one to really get out and do much after work and his usual activities. However, this was a special occasion. While Rosaline set up a sitter for the four children they had, Chavdar was given the signal that he can go on ahead and come here a little earlier so that Chavdar could save her a seat and so forth. He entered the Great Hall, and he walked down the aisle until he saw his family, normally crowding around each other as if to form a mob of some sort. Smirking a bit, he went over and sat down while saving a seat for his wife. Chavdar was a big fellow, and he sat at the end of the row, mainly because he did not want to overcrowd anyone, and figured that some of Kalif's kids would want to sit by Hades and them. However, Chavdar was a little surprised to see him actually in here. Chavdar turned his head when the Headmaster started to speak, as well as the two Head people. Chavdar had known Patricia was Head Girl, but he didn't know Theodore Snow was Head Boy. He was a little shocked from what he had heard. The Minister also spoke, and then came the diplomas. Chavdar clapped his hands softly for everyone, but he made sure that he was smiling when Hadan and Miriah got theirs. He was not as close to Miriah as he was to Hadan, but he was still protective of her anyway.Chavdar was proud, and he was hoping that both of them would move on into life, with success and no children for a long time, hopefully that would come after marriage.

 

[Vincent Chevalier]

Vincent Chevalier walked through the Great Hall, and he smiled broadly. He had not been invited to a graduation before, but right now, his heart was full of love and happiness, because his wife was graduating today! Then he would be showing her the new spa that he had built just for her. Vincent was wearing a good suit, and he smiled once more when he took a seat next to Effie Snow, a family relative that he actually liked. His father sat at the other side of her, and he looked a little tense as per usual. Vincent glanced up at the front, before his blue eyes wondered to that dress Alyssa was wearing. Boy, she was smoking hot! Vincent could not resist letting his eyes travel before he felt a thump in the back of his head. "What the-" Vincent muttered when he regained his position before he peered over to stare at his father whom was looking right at him. Vincent heard his words and he could not help but smile a bit. Vincent turned his eyes back to the front to see the Head Girl give out her lengthy speech, and then his new brother-in-law give out his own. He remembered something, Theodore and a few others did not know about the marriage. Vincent gulped and he remembered to keep his cool. He felt safe with his dad around. He was no push over like Vincent could be. Vincent listened to the name and he, like Effie, murmured, "Oh no." Vincent did not even try to look around to see what Alphonse would think, if he were here, but his blue eyes had landed on Theodore for a moment, before shifting down onto the floor. This was going to be fun. Theodore wasn't happy, and he could just imagine what Alphonse was feeling. Shrugging, he just hoped that they would not be stupid enough to cause a riot here in the school.

 

[Joceline Richarde]

Joceline Richarde had yet to be at a Graduation during her time her at Hogwarts New Zealand and often thought that she wouldn’t attend one until the day of her own Graduation but that wasn’t until next year. The Slytherin was quite surprised when she received an invitation to this years Graduation. There was a number of people that she knew Graduating this year although she hated most of them – the ‘Glammies’ and even her own half brother – Aiden Mauven. She couldn’t care less if they were graduating today, it just meant that she didn’t have to worry about them next year so she could have a year in peace and only have to worry about the other idiots in the school. Despite hating so many people in the current graduating class there was a few that she could stand and it was one of them, in particular, that she was here for today. She hadn’t know Miriah long but the two got along quite well, finding a common interest in the disliking of Aiden. Although Joce wondered where that common hatred went to in the space of time when they first met to now – when Miriah was dating Aiden. Miriah was so much better than Aiden and the jerk didn’t deserve her. The doe eyed Slytherin was highly confused by the whole thing and she let the two know just how she felt about the pairing but it didn’t seem to matter. The only thing that made her stand it, even just a little, was the fact that Miriah seemed happy with Aiden somehow. She didn’t question it and simply just went with it.

Joceline sat during the Graduation, looking forward to her own next year. She wondered if she would be sentimental about it like some of the seventh years seemed to be today. She shrugged her shoulders at the thought and listened to the speeches. They were long but still very nice to hear in some sense. When they were over Miriah clapped along for the graduates, smiling broadly when Miriah went up to collects her own. When the ceremony was over Joceline went to look for her friend to congratulate her, hoping that she’d get to her before Aiden did.

 

[Amauri Zhefarovich]

Amauri Chevalier was not dressed formally. He never wore formal clothing, not even to his own son's graduation. He never saw a point in it. He wore what he normally did, his hands in his pockets as he walked through the Great Hall, his blue eyes colder than a glacier. He might have been a good guy and all, but it never said in the book of goodness that one could not act like Amauri. However, Amauri was proud that Alyssa Chevalier was graduating, even if he was not exactly comfortable with a marriage while she was still in school. Waiting for six months would not have killed them, but he really had no say in the matter. He was supportive, even though he was just worried overall. His eyes wondered over to Vincent, to see him doing something he did not approve of, before he reached behind Effie and smacked Vincent in the back of the head. After Vincent reacted, Amauri warned coldly, "Behave, Vincent. Act like a gentleman." That was just something that Vincent must have gotten from his mother's side. The Headmaster spoke, and then the Head Girl and the Head Boy. Amauri narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was unaware of Alyssa's twin until now. The resemblance was uncanny. Amauri did not even really notice Effie beside of him. He would have talked, but he was just quiet. Amauri clapped softly when Alyssa retrieved her diploma, but he did not register why Effie and Vincent seemed so worried. He glanced over at them once before he turned his head back to the front to observe the rest of the graduation.

 

[Millard Lurken]

Millard was surprised at just how many Death Eaters seemed to have gathered today at Hogwarts New Zealand. There may not have been a great amount but there was more than he ever thought would walk these halls. As she sat with his wife and children he couldn’t help but think about how easy it would be for the small number of Death Eaters to over-run the school right now, it would be simple. Even with the new Minister of Magic here today he knew it would be simple. If only they had known this in time they could have planned something – it would be so simple! Alas he knew that today he would have to be on his best behaviour as he was here to celebrate his daughter’s – well adopted daughter’s, graduation, as well as his new son-in-law’s graduation. He still wasn’t keen on the idea that Abigail was married and had a child so young and while he was the one to enforce the marriage he knew it was necessary. No daughter of his was going to be a mother without the father as her rightful husband, sure the man could promise to be there but without the ring on her finger he really had nothing tying him to the baby. Millard remembered his own Graduation and how it didn’t compare to this; there was no sentimental and fond farewells, they were adults for crying out loud and should be told some hard truths and not sugar coated lies – they were soon going to find out that adulthood was no easy task. It wasn’t long before the ceremony was over and getting up of his chair, Millard made his way to find to find his daughter, along with his wife and children.

 

[Noelle Lurken]

Noelle was almost the complete opposite of her husband, where she found things like Graduations lovely, to see all the children transcend into adulthood, it was going to be hard for her to not cry when she saw Abigail collect her diploma. And truth be told as the ceremony went on Noelle let out a few sniffles at some small things like the memories that the Head Girl shared with her classmates. Then when it came time for the diploma’s to be handed out she could feel a few tears rolling down her cheeks when she saw Abigail take to the stage and collect her own. She had grown into such a lovely woman and Noelle couldn’t be more proud of her even if she was her real mother. When the diploma’s were been given out Noelle clapped along for the other graduates, they had all done a great thing and deserved the recognition for it. When Abigail’s name was called out and Luciano’s after it Noelle clapped even louder, standing little Rhea up a bit so she could see her mummy and daddy graduating – it was not something many children could say they did – go to their parents graduation but that was just how things had turned out. When the ceremony was over Noelle got up with Millard and her own children, Rhea in her arms, and made her way to find Abigail and Luciano.

 

[Peter Lurken]

Peter wasn’t able to sit a peace and wanted nothing more than go explore the big school that he would soon be attending himself. He knew that today he was here because his big sister, Abbey, was graduating – whatever that meant, but it was important, because he was dressed in his best clothes, so he had to be on his best behaviour. He sat beside his daddy, mummy, younger sister and his niece. He continued to look around where he was sitting and looked at all of the people that were sitting, looking ahead of them. He looked up at the stage and could see a few people talking but there really didn’t interest him so he continued to look around. When his mother slapped him lightly he crossed his arms over his chest and pouted, knowing that that meant he had to sit still. When he started to hear people’s names being called out he tried to stand up a bit more so he could see Abbey. When he heard his sister’s name being called out her clapped really loudly for her, he wasn’t sure what the big deal was but it seemed important so he went with it. He followed his mummy and daddy when they got up and started walking, was that it over?

 

[Damian Metzger]

Damian was incredibly happy when he was invited to the Graduation. He put on some jeans and a white tee shirt, something basic as well as his sneakers. Damian would need something to propel himself with for whenever he ended up taking down Alyssa and Abbey in a super tackle hug. He listened to the speeches, and once they are over, Damian stood up and clapped when they got their diplomas. Damian cheered as well. As soon as he saw them, the Gryffindor bolted through the crowd. With a leap, Damian yelled out, "YAY YOU TWO CONGRATULATED!" However, his leap landed straight on Alysa Chevalier. He was not even aware that her husband was even around and he did not know that he butchered the sentence when he meant to say that they had graduated.

 

[Aleyha Snow]

Aleyha Devearux made sure that she looked decent enough to be at her boyfriend's graduation, though he might not like it that she was showing so much leg, but she did not care. Her white legs might blend in with the dress just a bit. She was sad, because she was not going to have Theodore around her anymore. it did not matter to her that he was going to be the Head of the Snow family, and she did not know that it would inevitably affect her as well. She knew that in two years time, she would be graduating and then she would be married to her love. Her red eyes gazed around the Great Hall, and she flipped her white hair over her shoulders before she went and sat down with others that Theodore had invited, which were boys, but they were cool with her because she was their Parselmouth cousin. Aleyha glanced up at Theodore once he started to give out his speech, and a smile crossed her light pink lips, hiding the obvious sadness that she was feeling because she felt like there was no Hogwarts without him. She wasn't going to move on, but she thought that things would turn out in her favor eventually. She felt rather warm inside of her cold heart when he mentioned her in his speech. And he even winked at her. Aleyha smirked a bit, and knew that from the moment that he had asked her to hang out with him over at Brightstone, that she was going to fall hard for Theodore Snow, and she believed that she had. Aleyha stroked the top of Fenrir's head and she stared ahead, just waiting for everything to end. This graduation process, it was long, and it was also boring to the Slytherin.
