Graduation 2033: Spectators and Guests

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

Out of Character:

Here is the area for invited guests, staff, professors and prefects to post while at the graduation. Please be reminded that you are also invited to start separate RPs that take place after the graduation.

 

[Aphrodite Romanes]

Today was one of those bittersweet occurrences. On one side, Aphrodite was so proud of Isaia for not only getting Head Boy, but for also making it far enough to Graduate. Then there was the other side that was depressed that after today, he wouldn't be around to guide her through Hogwarts anymore. Aphrodite didn't technically need guidance, but there were days when she needed someone to comfort her. Along with Isaia, her elder brother was also Graduating. Right now Aphrodite was the last of Alphonse's kids until they all came in some time later. Aphrodite couldn't remember if it was this year or the year after that. "Hopefully after, I am so not looking forward to sharing a school with those four." They were rotten little pure bloods who had been handed that silver spoon to them their whole life. Aphrodite couldn't much talk because she was like that too, but they had yet to discover just how irritating their behavior was yet. After Isaia Graduates, Aphrodite had to admit that she was a little bit curious as to what was going to happen to them. What Aphrodite really wanted, was for them to get a house, get married, have kids, and just be happy. Aphrodite wanted to be a singer who toured the world as well. The Gryffindor Prefect could only hope that was the way it would go.

As the ceremony began, Aphrodite was delighted to hear Isaia's speech. He was always so thoughtful when he did things, it just made her so happy! At the end of his speech, not only was she doing that ugly happy crying, but she was also clapping as loudly as her little hands could manage. Kate's speech was alright, Aphrodite didn't know her as well, so her speech wasn't as meaningful to her as it might be to those she knew. Aphrodite was thankful that they never let her brother do a speech, he was never good at saying meaningful things when he needed to. As each one of the Graduates received their diploma, Aphrodite clapped. Of course Isaia and her brother a little bit more noise from her than the others, but what could be expected? One was the love of her life, and the other was her big brother! It was hard for Aphrodite to believe that this time next year, Aphrodite would be walking across that stage to get her diploma as well. Would she be the same person next year too? ​

 

[Athena Zhefarovich]

Graduation marked the end of another year for the Slytherin, which meant that she was one step closer to being in the seats that were now occupied by this year's crop of graduates. Athena glanced at them from her seat with the other prefects and gave a small smile to the few students that she knew. Brushing down her black dress, Athena wondered how she had been lucky enough to get a seat beside Aphrodite. At least she had a Slytherin on her other side. Family and friends of the graduates streamed in and before long the ceremony had begun. The Slytherin listened to the Headmistress' brief words and smiled as the Head Boy took the stage. He had certainly been the right choice for the job and Athena already lamented the fact that his successor was likely going to be an idiot...unless it was her cousin. He was no idiot, but Athena wasn't sure that he was the right man for the job. Sometimes, he could be really mean, and as Isaia had shown through his actions and was showing through his speech, a Head Boy was supposed to be gracious and helpful. When he finished, Athena clapped her hands and peeked over to Aphrodite who was crying. Unable to stop herself, the Slytherin rolled her silver eyes before turning her attention back to the stage to hear Kate Moon's speech.

As the girl began by saying that she had never expected to be standing there, Athena muttered. "You and everyone else in this school." It had been a shocking choice, especially since the Slytherin hadn't even been a prefect. In spite of herself, Athena found herself liking Kate's speech. If truth be told, her year had been pretty bad, but she did have to remember that it was just one year in the grand scheme of things. Next year would be her final year and she was determined to make it better than this past year had been. When she finished, Athena clapped her hands more loudly than she had expected to when the Hufflepuff took the stage. As the Headmistress took to the stage once more to begin calling names, Athena glanced around the Great Hall, seeing who had been invited to the ceremony. She spotted the 'famous' Kiera Potter who was really only famous because of who she'd married. She grinned and waved when she spotted Isaia's sisters. She had really liked the former Head Girl, though they had never been friendly, and the former Slytherin. Turning around before she got into trouble, Athena brushed her blonde hair back and began to clap for the graduates. Already she was imagining herself crossing the stage to receive her diploma, her father and sister clapping for her.

 

[Yerik Rhys Price]

Yerik Rhys couldn't think of another reason why to attend graduation, the only one he knows of is because of their Headboy Isaia Romanes. He knew him, well partly. They are both in Ravenclaw, Quidditch and even the Brotherhood. There's no other boy who could compete with him, since he deserved the title of being headboy. Today he was here to support him and the other graduates, he didn't particularly knew anyone else except the other prefects. Quietly, he entered the Great Hall seeing a whole bunch of strangers, guests and students cluttering the entire hall. Would this be the scenario when he graduates next year? Will his whole entire family be there? Maybe, just maybe. He could imagine Luca right now being a sassy brother and flirting with every boy he could find. Pathetic but true. While Geni would probably clap her ass off, grinning at his younger brother. it would be a delight to see all of that happens. The sixth year continued to walk and approach some vacant chairs, once he saw one, he sat down and waited for the ceremony to begin. He noticed some younger prefects like him who's present today, though he barely recognized the others. As it was Isaia's turn to speak and share his speak, Yerik Rhys couldn't feel anymore happier to have another Ravenclaw standing in front of them. He also wondered what's it's like to be standing in front of these people, hearing and anticipating with every word Isaia's saying, perhaps a mixture of anxiety and excitement.

When it was Kate Moon's turn to speak, he could hear a lot of snickering from the students or at least he felt a lot of students were snickering. He couldn't blame them, everyone was shock to know and hear that Kate would be their new Head Girl last semester. After all the issue that came out, people's respect for her evaporated somehow. Although he didn't know her personally, he always preferred her twin. Sara Moon. She would be a lovely Head Girl, such a shame that they chose Kate instead of her. Speaking of Sara, he was also here for here. He wanted to be one of the many to clap their hands when she's called out on the stage. The two shared a few chats inside their common room and actually he enjoyed every bit of it, with Sara graduating it means that he would be responsible for Quidditch next year, for two semester actually. He felt honored and surely he would miss her. Maybe when she graduates they could still send letters to each other or hang-out during the Brightstone Weekend/s. Who knows. Just on the right time, Sara's name was called. Yerik clapped both of his hands for her louder that the rest of the students, he felt proud that he knew her. He continued to clap his hands for the other graduates, only softer. Other than Isaia and Sara, he didn't knew the other graduates and if he did, it just means he didn't liked them as they didn't liked him back.

 

[Isabella Romanes]

It had only been a year since Isabella Dragonov set foot in the school of Hogwarts New Zealand, and a part of her missed it. She entered the Great Hall to see her little brother once more. She came along with Ostensia, both sisters separated now together once more. Not living together or anything like that. But now she was here with Ostensia, both for the same person. Isabella could not be more proud of her sibling. She was proud of Osa too, when she was Head Girl. She deserved it as much as Isaia deserved it. Although once they were seated and she was dressed, her hands rested on her lap. She wore casual clothing, simple robes. She did not feel like dressing up. It was not that she was pregnant and sick. She refused to get pregnant, and Demeter knew it. Every single conversation about babies was shot down immediately. Sure, they had their own house, both had stable jobs, she just did not want to have babies yet. She was happy with her marriage and her job as it was right now. She was not even twenty yet! She felt bad for Ostensia though. If only she knew Damian and where he was at, she would strangle him. With his long hair. Isabella wished that she could have known about it. It had been a while, but she still cared so much for Ostensia, even if she went to work with Collineus for a while.

As soon as Isaia started on his speech, her heart swelled with pride knowing that her brother was up there, the king of all of the students. Would Sergios know that fame and glory too? He did not really know. Isabella smiled once he finished, and she clapped her hands pretty hard for her brother and then when Kate Moon stepped up there, Isabella almost gasped in horror. Who in the world let her be Head Girl? She had no idea, but any sort of respect she had for the girl was gone because of the whole issue of Rumor Has It. It pointed out several things. She lightly clapped her hands out of politeness, before she watched the graduates go up there. Stefan had returned as far as she could see. Shame he would never know the colors he once wore. Then there were a few others she recognized, but once more, she clapped the hardest for her brother, wishing him well. She looked to find Aphrodite, and felt relieved to see them staring at each other like they had not embraced at all for years. It was adorable.​

 

[Keyne Baros]

Keyne Baros was exceeding proud of Mylie Thoreau right now. While things were going well for him and Leilani, whom he had come with. Keyne was just so proud of his daughter, so much that she was prefect and graduating. He found a seat and beside him sat Leilani and Zayne. The only one that was missing was Amycus, but she was out today. They would have to take pictures for memories today, otherwise Amycus would not ever know about this wondrous event. Keyne made sure that he had the camera with him of course. He looked up and he heard the Head Boy's speech, which was nice, and he clapped along with it. He never heard of that boy, but he thought that the Romanes family sounded familiar. Another family that his had interacted with? That would be possible. Then there was the Kate Moon girl, whose speech was good too, and he clapped for her. However now it was the time for the best part, the diploma part. His baby girl! He could cry. The next one to graduate would be Zayne, and he dreaded that day. Keyne wished that day would never come because it made him feel really old. He smiled as the others went up there, and finally, Mylie. He clapped and cheered, pretty loud too but he shrugged when he got some weird looks. After everyone received their diplomas, Keyne got up to look for Mylie, and then he froze when he saw her embracing someone else. The boy was tall too, and he nudged Leilani to have a look. He was inwardly freaking out, seeing his little girl with some boy. Did she have a boyfriend?!​

 

[Praneil Patil]

Praneil had been slightly surprised that he had received an owl just over a week ago inviting him to this years graduation at Hogwarts new zealand. however a week later he had received an owl from tara explaining why he had been invited. he had shown both of these letters to Lilith who, although not the most happy to let him go to his ex fiances graduation eventually consented. as she knew that growing up he and Tara had been like family to him, a little sister. and more importantly he was the closest she had to family here. he looked around and saw that there was one other indian girl in the audience and he remembered Tara had said he had invited her employer and boss meera "Hello, it's Gupta, Meera right?" she said sitting beside her and offering a hand to shake.
soon the ceremony started and he watched the speeches. vaguely recognising the name of the head girl, tara or Lilith must have mentioned her once. he took a couple of photos, from strict direction of Hara Sitara. she wanted photos of her daughters graduation. He knew she had hardly seen her daughter for over a year and she always mentioned to him for getting tara the job in france, though he could tell that they were very thankful for the money their daughter was sending they wanted her home.
as the graduates started to gross the stage he attached a flash to the camera he hadn't wanted to distract the people speaking but he wanted to get some good ones of tara getting the diploma for her mother. soon the ceremony was over and he wasn't quite sure what to do. he let tara have her time with her friends. he knew once school was over things were different. friends were different, and he wanted her to have this last few moments with them. when they each moved back to see their own family he found her and gave her a pat on her back. "Congratulations little star" he said in hindi using a nickname for her he had not used for at least ten years. "you should come over to Lilith and my place this evening. you should invite meera too, make it a proper party" he said. the truth was that he had invited his parents and taras parents and brother over too. they had used the floo network to bring them out of india and arrange a surprise graduation party for her, the women had been busy cooing up a feast, he had keval had helped out until their useless efforts had them sent out to look after padme, it had been fun spending the morning with his closest childhood friend and his daughter, showing him around their home village and in the wizard shops which seemed to intrigue him. .

 

[Meera Gupta]

Meera had been expecting an invite to Tara's graduation ceremony. This was because she had sort of self invited herself but she couldn't help it. She was not going to miss this big day of such a close friend. Her school had gladly allowed her to attend since the ceremony was taking place on a weekend. Meera was very excited and she made sure to take her camera in her purse to take photos of Tara. She hoped Tara would agree to the offer her parents were going to make to her. They intended on giving her a loan to start up her dream cafe. Of course her family was hoping that she would set up the cafe in France but they were going to offer the loan even if she wanted to start it in New Zealand or in India. They trusted her completely and so far she was the only one who knew about Meera's family secret. After finishing some homework Meera put aside her notes and got to work on getting herself ready for the big event.

Meera begun by styling her hair and then put on the saree she had selected. Her roommate and best friend Alice thought she was looking excellent. Meera walked to the Principal's office from where she was using the floo network to get into the Hogwarts castle. She sighed as she met her boyfriend on the corridor. She had been hoping to slip out without meeting him. Meera knew that he wanted her to stay because he had a date planned for them but the graduation was more important. "Karl, I promise tomorrow the whole day with you. No prefect duties or homework. Nothing. Okay?" she said with a smile hoping to convince him. It worked as usual. As she felt him lean in to kiss her goodbye she shook her head to stop him. "No. Lipstick" but he did not seem to want to hear anything. Meera knew this was hard for him because today was their two month anniversary. She let him kiss her before hurrying forward.

She stepped into the fireplace hoping her lipstick was not ruined and after seconds she found herself in another room. She smiled as she saw a face of a lady in her twenties. She introduced herself as one of the teachers and showed her the way to the hall where the ceremony was about to begin. Meera looked around her, in awe. The school was big and matched exactly to the way people had described it. The corridors and moving staircase were a few things she witnessed while she was lead to the Great Hall. Once she stepped inside she noticed how beautiful it was. She looked up at the enchanted ceiling that she had been told about. It showed the stars that probably were outside. Just as she began wondering where she was to seat she found a voice close by talking to her. She turned to face the young indian man and smiled as she realized who she was meeting. "Yes, you are right" she replied with a grin. "You must be Praneil. I have heard so much about you" she said and followed him to where he was seating.

The ceremony soon began and Meera watched carefully. She listened to the speech from the lady who she took was the headmistress. Meera had to say, the students here were well groomed. The speech from the headboy and head girl were great and Meera thought the head girl of the graduating class was very pretty. Meera stood by Praneil flashing a few photos of Tara in her own camera as she walked into the hall and then got her diploma. Meera could see Tara's salwar kameez underneath the graduation gown and she thought it was beautiful. Tara had always liked simple more than glamorous and this particular outfit despite being simple made her look gorgeous. Meera cheered as Tara got her certificate. Meera realized that Tara was the only Indian graduate and she figured that like Meera in Beaux, Tara was the only indian in HNZ. After the ceremony Meera waited beside Praneil watching all the graduates and their close one smile for photos. Meera could not help but notice that people seemed more friendly here than in France. There were a good number of good looking boys as well. She missed Karl but she reminded herself that Tara was special in her life too. After Tara had said goodbye to her friends, Meera gave Tara a huge grin and hugged her. "Congratulations!" she said a big grin still on her face. She noticed Tara had teared up a little. "At least we have apparation you will always be able to see your friends" she said being supportive. She volunteered to take Praneil and Tara's photo and then told Praneil to take her's with Tara.

Meera heard Praneil's invitation for the party. She had not got permission for this but she guessed it wouldn't hurt to celebrate. After all it was still evening in France and luckily her school had not put a curfew on her. Even if she got late partying she was sure she would make it back to France by Sunday evening for her date. "Thanks Praneil. I would be honored to be there" she said with a smile. She gave Tara the present she had bought for her. This time it was something of Tara's liking. Meera had not got her another expensive dress but rather cook books with a big range of dishes. Her parents had given her the hard task of telling Tara about the offer. She was going to ask her after a while. She did not want to pressure her friend on such a happy day. She was so proud of Tara.

 

[Justin Kuya]

Justin was not really interesting in the whole 'graduation' thing. He was considering just completely blowing this off and finding something more interesting to do. But when he realised that a friend of his was to be graduating, he simply shrugged to himself and went to support her. He wasn't entirely sure what they were. Friends? That was a bit of a stretch, she didn't even know his name. It was usually normal to know the name of your friends. He shrugged and scanned the long line of Seventh years. He eventually found an empty seat and sat down. Hopefully this would turn interesting soon, otherwise he may have just made a mistake in seeing this. He crossed his legs and lent on his palm as the speeches and such began. The Slytherin picked himself up a little when the Head Boy and Girl began to speak. He barely knew either of them, being the anti-socialbutterfly he was. However, that didn't mean he wouldn't show them some form of respect. Isaia's speech was quite nice, and not as Justin had expected. He was terrified to think that the speeches would take a million year to happen, but this was quite short, and rather nice. Justin clapped for him and then waited for the head Girl. Hopefully her speech would be just as good. Justin was still a little surprised that Kate was picked to be Head girl, surely someone more... prefecty would be picked? Was she even a prefect before this? Justin wrecked his brain for an answer, but found none. He listened to her, mostly because she was the sister of his friend, he might as well pay her some attention. It wasn't overly bad as well. He clapped for her and gave the stage his full attention once diplomas started to be handed out. Justin clapped for Sara when her name was called. He'd have to catch up with her a little later, she was really the only person he wasn't overly horrible to. He could actually have a warm conversation with her, that was something he liked, since Kiara was a little airheaded at the best of times. He continued to clap for the other graduates, but just as with Sara, some he clapped a little harder for because he actually knew them, while others he didn't really bother, but he still wished them all well.
​

 

[Arielle Shaffer]

Arielle Shaffer had never seen anything like this in her entire life. This place that her little brother had been living for the last seven years was unbelievable. First off, the place looked like a giant castle. It had huge grounds and moving pictures and changing staircases. Not to mention the ceiling in this room alone. Kiera had told her that it was enchanted to look like the sky outside. After seven years, Arielle had learned that this world was not what she originally thought it was. When her brother had been delivered his letter to Hogwarts New Zealand on his eleventh birthday, Arielle's family had trouble swallowing the news that he was a wizard. Once the news sank in, they all embraced it. Ezra had always been special in their eyes even if she had been the one that typically had their attention. Arielle had been a professional gymnast. Her family had moved from London when her father was transferred to the Californian office in the United States. She was only eight years old at the time, and Ezra was born several months later. Arielle no longer competed, but she was still involved in the gymnastics world through her expert commentaries at competitions and other public relations events. Being an Olympic champion, Arielle's presence and opinion was still valued.

It was through gymnastics that Arielle first met Kiera Kingsley. They were the same age. The Kingsleys had moved so Kiera could train with Arielle's coach about six months after the Shaffers moved. Kiera and Arielle had always had a friendly competitiveness to their relationship as they trained together. Still, Kiera was the only friend that Arielle had until Kiera had suddenly been accepted at this exclusive school in New Zealand. Arielle had only seen Kiera when she was home and back training at the gym. Yet, they had still been able to remain friends over the years. When Ezra had been accepted into Hogwarts, it got Arielle to thinking. Kiera had been the same age when she was also accepted into a school in New Zealand. Kiera's sister, Katheryn, had also moved to that school a year later. Arielle confronted Kiera about it, and her friend had admitted it, apologizing for the secret. The truth had been revealed that Kiera's entire family, with the exception of her father, were magical. Arielle had found it all very strange at the time though she had adjusted over time.

The fit, slender woman pushed back a strand of her blonde hair. It wasn't long before the graduates came in. Arielle caught sight of her brother and gave him a thumbs up. She listened politely as different people spoke to the graduating class. When Ezra walked across that stage, both Kiera and Arielle stood up and cheered for him. Arielle's blue eyes shone with pride at her brother's accomplishments. After the ceremony, it wasn't long before Ezra came over to them. Arielle threw her arms around her taller brother, hugging him tightly. "Congratulations, Ez! I can't believe this is where you have been living all this time! It's fantastic!" she said brightly. "I'm so proud of you! And Karah too!" she said, speaking of Ezra's girlfriend.

 

[Kiera Kaster]

Kiera Potter felt odd to be back at Hogwarts New Zealand. She had not attended graduation since her little sister had graduated seven years ago. The petite brunette returned now to see a boy who was practically her brother graduate. Arielle Shaffer was one of her very best friends, and Ezra Shaffer was her brother. Kiera had received an owl from Ezra about a month ago asking her to come to his graduation with Arielle. Ezra was worried about Arielle making it there on her own and wanted Kiera to help her get there. Kiera had agreed and was delighted that Ezra thought to invite her as well. The brunette had invited Arielle over for a visit. Her friend had been staying with Kiera all week, catching up on lost time. Today, Kiera had guided Arielle to Hogwarts early. James was keeping the twins at home while she was out. Arielle and Kiera had arrive early enough to go have a chat with Cyndi, Kiera's sister-in-law and best friend, before the graduation ceremony began. Kiera would stop to say hello to her half-sister, Natalie Reyes, and her mother, Jacqueline Black, before they left Hogwarts. She didn't want either one to think she was avoiding them. Since finding out that Natalie was her half-sister, Kiera had made an effort to get to know Natalie as well as Layla and Lucino. The two mothers often took their children to the park to play together.

Kiera and Arielle took their seats in the Great Hall as they waiting for the ceremony to begin. Kiera had been explaining various aspects of Hogwarts all afternoon. The brunette caught a few stares aimed at her. She pursed her lips and didn't mention it to Arielle. Kiera's friend didn't really understand the notoriety that Kiera or her husband had, and quite frankly, Kiera didn't either. She hoped they were admiring her for her quidditch abilities though that was probably only half of it. Thankfully, wasn't long before the ceremony began. The former Gryffindor and Head Girl still found it a bit odd that Ezra had ended up as a Slytherin. She wouldn't have expected that of him, but there was nothing wrong with it. When she saw that dirty blonde head, she grinned and waved. She watched with interest as the Headmistress and then the head people gave their speeches. Kiera clapped politely, not really cheering until Ezra walked across the stage. After the ceremony ended, Kiera waited with Arielle until Ezra joined them. She hugged the boy who was like a brother to her after Arielle did. "Congrats! You did it!" she said, pleased for him.
​

 

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

Graduation was one of her favorite events that the school offered. She knew that it was long and some of the speeches were a bit boring or cliched, but there was just something about the vibe, the excitement that the students could not contain, that was contagious to her. The Deputy Headmistress had put on a simple black dress and heels for the event. As she waited for the ceremony to begin, Cyndi walked around, helping the students to their areas and guests find their seats. Whatever needed to be done to make the event perfect for the students. Stopping for a while to chat with her sister-in-law and her friend who were here to support a graduate, Cyndi found herself reminiscing back to her time as a student in the castle. It was easy to do when one of her partners-in-crime was around. Waving goodbye to Kiera, Cyndi made her way to her spot in time.

The students all appeared excited and Cyndi was happy for them. This group hadn't produced as many troublemakers as she was used to seeing among seventh years, and she had the feeling that they would do just fine in the real world. Clapping as the Head students finished their speeches, Cyndi watched the students cross the stage to receive their diplomas. Today would mark the start of a new chapter in their lives and she wondered how many of them she would see in the future. As the last student crossed the stage and accepted his diploma, Cyndi clapped with the rest of the guests. After, she went off to congratulate her Gryffindors one more time.

 

[Hades Styx II]

Hades Styx the Second walked into the Great Hall, really in a worst mood in the world. The reason being is because his girlfriend was graduating and he did not like it one bit. Mylie was graduating and leaving him behind for a year. However he was relieved that Kate Drama Queen Moon was finally leaving, and then he would have the Quidditch team to himself so it was not terrible. Then he would be a full Animagus perhaps as well. Hades found his seat and he picked at his clothing for a bit. His onyx eyes washed over his black outfit, a little dressy than usual, but nothing but robes. He hardly wore anything else. Why would he? He needed something like this to happen to him. He looked up when he heard the head people speak, neither of them he really liked, especially the blasted Head Girl. Rolling his eyes, he did not even clap for either of them. He looked to find Mylie instead, and once her name was called, he did make his hands clap together in honor of her. She deserved it. He waited for the rest of the people to get theirs before the whole ceremony was over. He went to find Mylie but was a little taken off guard when she embraced him. He of course did the same to her, but separated soon enough. His hand claimed hers and wondered if she would lead him to her family. That would have made him felt a little awkward though. Meeting families were not his thing.​

 

[Proserpina Laurent]

Proserpina Laurent thought that her outfit was cute. She left her Prefect badge in her purse because it would clash with the outfit. She hoped that she would look cute for a bit. She smiled as she entered the Great Hall to see the graduates graduate for the first time. Proserpina looked at the graduates and thought that they all looked amazing. Even Romaine as she looked over at him. She flushed ever so faintly and she found her a seat among other prefects. She did not really know anyone else, and she was ready to be alone again. Sometimes it made her sad to think about. She managed to get a little closer with Romaine, but he was a seventh year. The Headmistress started up the ceremony and soon enough, the head people were speaking. She clapped eagerly for them both, wishing she had opportunities to know them better. Isaia seemed cute too, but Kate was one she knew from Quidditch. That was all she knew her from. But her speech was nice too, so she was not too worried at all. Then they started to call up the names one by one, and then Romaine went up. She clapped for him because she knew him. He did not know anyone else graduating. She sighed and then got up out of her chair. She debated to go over to congratulate Romaine, but she saw him go to his family. Ultimately she decided to leave him alone, and linger in there to have an idea of who would come to her own graduation.​

 

[Zayne Baros]

Zayne Baros walked inside of the Great Hall to watch his older sister graduate. Hand in hand with Kaia, he walked over to where his parents were, and took his seat beside his dad. He greeted his parents. He was just amazed that his sister was a prefect like he was, but he had expected her to get head girl but some girl that was not even a prefect did. That made him a little confused but still. He looked over at Kaia as the speeches went on. He did not mind much at all. He just wanted to get on with things, and then see his sister get the diploma. Soon enough the speeches were over. He clapped out of politeness. Then it was time. He watched as each graduate walked up and retrieved their diploma, but he clapped loudest for Mylie. He smiled from ear to ear, really proud of her. He watched as the ceremony closed up and then wondered if Mylie would want all of her family over there. Zayne led the way of course, to go congratulate his big sister once more.​

 

[Krystin Knight]

Krystein Saenger was invited to come along to the graduation of Doriano Knight. She had left the school right after her fifth year, and was home schooled. In the process of that, living with Damian proved to be no picnic. She was taught manners and respect, before she had to move again to Dietrich's house when Damian just got up and left. Sometimes it felt like she was going back and forth between places, but Krystin was not displeased about it. She was set on becoming a veterinarian and she would do whatever it took in order to achieve her goals. Krystin made sure that her dress looked presentable as she entered the Great Hall once more. She had no idea what happened over this year, but immediately her eyes caught the people that she had missed. Aphrodite was one of them, but it seemed like she was sitting next to someone else. So she found a seat near the front, so she could get a better look at the graduates when they crossed the stage. She faintly remembered Isaia once he gave out his speech, before it occurred to her that when she was living with Collineus, he was one of the Romanes kids that lived there before she was kicked out. And Aphrodite's boyfriend to boot. She clapped at the speech given, and even she disliked the choice of Head Girl. Seriously, could they find no one else? Rolling her blue and green eyes, she clapped once more out of respect for her once she finished. Now came for the part that she was really looking forward to. The part where the people graduated. One by one they received their diplomas, but she especially clapped when Doriano walked the stage. She didn't hate him so much anymore, but harbored feelings of affection instead. She must have started a thousand letters before giving up in ever contacting him. Once the ceremony finished, she stood up, and wondered if she should approach Aphrodite or Doriano. Instead she gave a slight wave to Aphrodite, before looking around to find a way through the crowd.​

 

[Indiana Night]

Indiana Night was just a second year at Hogwarts New Zealand but here she was at the Graduation Ceremony to watch her older sister graduate. Herself and her brother were amoung the many audience members there to watch the ceremony take place and see their loved ones walk up and get a piece of paper that meant they finished their magical education. Indiana had a long way until it was her up there, but she hoped one day she could be head of the class. Even if she wasn't Head Girl she'd want to up there as a Prefect like her own sister was. Short as short can be, compared to the people sitting directly in front of her, Indiana couldn't see where her sister was sitting. But looking at the back of her head didn't seem all to important. The best moment was hearing her sister's name being called and seeing the familiar dark haired girl walk up.

Georgiana had always been her mother, even though technically she was her sister, Georgiana took care of Indiana since she was a young child when their mother left them with their muggle father. That fact that her father couldn't be here with them was a downer on the moment because he was muggle, and did not want to be surrounded by wizards who could possibly hate him and kill him in second. Plus his work wouldn't of given time off to come all the way from home to New Zealand. Indiana was glad Kayden her older brother could make it however. He was Georgiana's twin but looked more like Indiana. Both blonde haired with bluer eyes, their sister got the more Native American looks, minus her pale skin. Looking around Indiana saw some familar faces in the crowd. Tybalt was there, he was related to Stefan Archer, someone who her sister had known before he disappeared from school for awhile because she was friends with his girlfriend Kate Moon. Kate Moon was the Head Girl and all year Indiana acted like a shadow to the Head Girl trying to figure out how she too could become Head Girl in her seventh year. She'd have to start doing better in classes and keep up on the Quidditch team. Then she reconized the Professors and the Prefects from the various years sitting about. It was a beautiful ceremony and Indiana ran up to her sister afterwards and hugged her tightly. It was the last year she'd have her big sister at the school with her. After this she would be the last Night remaining at the school.

 

[Kayden Night]

Kayden Night hadn't been at Hogwarts in years yet it looked like nothing had changed with the place. Sitting at the graduation ceremony for his twin sister Kayden couldn't feel anymore awkward. He had really come into himself while being at Salem and then falling in love with Corey. Yet being back at Hogwarts he felt like he had missed out on something wonderful here too. Looking at the graduates he saw familiar faces. Sara Moon as there, looking even more beautiful then the last time he saw her. Shiloh wasn't present, she transfered out he believed. Though he wasn't sure certain because he hadn't heard from the girl in a long time. The last time he saw his two old friends was when he first brought Indiana to the country before her first year. Now she was finishing up her second year and getting older. He graduated from Salem just a week ago and thinking on everything made him feel old.

Kate Moon gave a speech as Head Girl, Kayden didn't know Isaia and his sister never really mentioned the Head Boy. She was always more concerned with herself and her circle of friends of course. Georgiana was looking very happy as she went up to the stage and collected her diploma. It seemed like, for them at least, the rest of their lives were falling into place. Both going out for a professional Quidditch team this summer and once his girlfriend graduated Beauxbatons so would she. Looking down at his younger sister Indiana, Kayden wondered how she would do here for the rest of her years.
