[Ava King]

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.

 

[Evette Belo]

Evette was a bundle of nerves today, she hadn't been as bad on her wedding day as she was today. But today was a big day, her eldest child, her first daughter, was graduating from school today and she was definitely the part of the proud mother. The house was a flurry of getting her four youngest children washed, dressed and fed before her and her husband were to leave for the school. She didn't like to leave her children alone for long but Andrew reassured her that they were in perfectly good hands with the house elf; she had been doing it since LeAnn was a baby of course. When Evette and Andrew were ready it was off to the school for the ceremony. Evette was so proud of her daughter and everything she had accomplished up until now; she knew that she would just excel in life. holding in the tears as she talked to LeAnn before the ceremony she took her seat and got out her tissues, a well prepared mother.

The ceremony was long but beautiful and the speeches were very well throughout and it reminded Evette of the time she had to give a speech at her graduation, it seemed so long ago. She had always hoped LeAnn would of one to Beauxbatons like she had but she had done so well for her that she knew it was the best thing to let LeAnn lead her own life. Never letting go of Andrews and as the students names were called out one by one until Leann's was called out. Squeezing just a little bit on Andrews and she watched her daughter cross the stage and collect her diploma was grace and confidence and she knew that she was no longer her little girl and she was now an adult, clapping along with everyone else she felt the tears starting to well up in her eyes and try as she might she couldn't get them away before LeAnn came over, the last thing she wanted to do was embarrass her in front of all her friends but she was her mother and it was duty - as it were to do so.

 

[Mylie Styx]

Mylie still hoped that it was okay that she had come, even though she knew that she and Hades weren't all that happy with one another. Well it might have just been her that was upset with him, but she figured that he would get upset that she was so mad at him. Mylie was scared at her was keeping things from her. He easily manipulated and lied to get to her to sleep with him, and he did it with such ease that Mylie was scared that there was he was lying to her about. Or that he would manipulate her into doing others things. Mylie still loved him, but right now she felt like she couldn't trust him. Mylie searched the crowd of Graduates to see if she could find her boyfriend, she wanted him to know that mad or not, she was going to support him. Once she had spotted him, she noticed that he didn't look to happy to be up there. He never did, but it was nice to see that things rarely ever changed. Mylie didn't pay attention to the speeches by the Head Boy or Head Girl's speeches because her eyes were on her boyfriend the whole time. He probably didn't know how incredibly cute he could be with that little scowl on his face.

Soon Hades went up to get his diploma, and Mylie clapped loudly for him. She was so proud that he had stuck this through and got his diploma. On top of that he even managed to become an Animagus in the process, so he had done quite well while in school. The ceremony soon ended and Mylie got up to go find her boyfriend. Cautiously, she approached him when he finally came close enough for her to spot him. "Congrats, Hades. I'm so proud of you." Mylie wrapped her arms around Hades, in a soft and loving hug. Angry or not, today should be celebrated. Mostly because Hades had worked hard to be where he was today. He wasn't the best with people and there were several times where Mylie was worried that he wanted to quit. But he made it through, and Mylie could never be more proud of him. After she greeted him, she awaited to see if he would go see his family next. ​

 

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

Moving to sit beside the other Heads of House, Professor Kingsley couldn't wait to hear the Head Boy and Head Girl's speeches. That they were both from Gryffindor House made the woman immensely proud. They were good kids and she knew that they would become valuable members of the wizarding community. As first Aphrodite and then Samual took to the stage, Cyndi kept the smile on her face. She knew that as proud as she was of them it was likely nothing compared to how their family members had to be feeling. She clapped heartily as each one finished, her hands eventually ending up on her abdomen. Unlike during her last pregnancy when she had grown huge after her fourth month, the professor still wasn't showing much. She was grateful that she would be able to be home when it became more difficult to get around. By the time she returned to school, she would need someone to roll her around.

Watching as the students got their diplomas, the professor clapped for each of them. It was impossible to know what would become of these children once they left, but she knew that she and her colleagues had done their best to prepare them for the world beyond school. She could only hope that they had paid some attention. As the ceremony finished, Cyndi stood up and began to mingle, first with her colleagues and then some of the students. She spotted a few of her old students in the crowd and stopped for a moment to catch up. That was one of her favorite parts about graduation.

 

[Andrew Belo]

After reassuring his wife that their house elf could handle the quadruplets and warning the children that they had better be on their best behavior, Andrew took his wife's arm and led her from the house. She looked stunning, as usual, and he was glad to have her on his arm. As they entered the castle where LeAnn had lived for the past seven years, Andrew let out a whistle of admiration. He'd heard LeAnn's description of the place, but this was the first time that he was truly seeing it. His old school in Brazil didn't hold a candle to the grandeur of the castle. Stepping through the doors of the Great Hall, Andrew shared a smile with his wife as she led them to the seats that she thought would give them the best view. The man looked around, smiling and nudging Evette when he finally caught sight of LeAnn. She looked absolutely radiant today. Each day, she looked more and more like her mother, something he hoped his stepdaughter was proud of.

Andrew couldn't have been more proud of LeAnn and the smile on his face was not going to come off easily. As the ceremony progressed, he found himself anxiously awaiting the moment when his and Evette's daughter would cross the stage to accept her diploma. That she would be coming home to them soon was icing on the cake. Andrew always missed the energy that the first born always brought to the house when she was there. Her siblings adored her, always eager for her to play with them. And, she had a special place in Andrew's heart. LeAnn might not have been his biological daughter, but he never hesitated in calling her his daughter. He had watched her grow up, and there was no doubt that she was a very important part of his life. She had brought them all together as a family. When she finally crossed the stage, Andrew lifted his camera up so he could get a good picture. He knew that LeAnn would probably be embarassed by it all, but she'd have to deal. Today was a special day for the parents. Glancing over at his wife and seeing her near tears, Andrew shook his head at her, though there was a smile on his face. He returned his wife's squeeze as he settled back into his seat to watch the other students cross the stage. When the ceremony finished, Andrew waited with his wife for LeAnn to join them, tears in his eyes. He knew without looking that Evette was probably in tears herself. He gave his new graduate a huge hug, clearing his throat before he spoke to her to find out what she wanted to do next. He held up the camera, hoping that LeAnn wouldn't mind posing for a few pictures with her mother and him and some of her friends.

 

[Axel Zhefarovich]

Axel Zhefarovich had to make a lot of pulls and tugs before he could even attempt to attend Athena’s graduation with Kamaria. Once he had a sitter to watch the rest of his rugrats, he got dressed in his usual black robes before going off to the school. He had a lot to do today, and seeing Athena graduate was on the top of the list. Axel made his way into the Great Hall once more, where he had been before. He had seen Kamaria and Leviathan graduate mere years ago, and knew where to go and what to look forward to. He was slightly disappointed that Athena did not make Head Girl, but then again, Axel was never a Head Boy either. Somehow his brother gotten it. He had yet to figure out why, but Axel had been a Slytherin, and Benjamen had been a Ravenclaw. That could have made the difference, but who knew. Axel made his way through the crowd, and knew that he was not easy to miss. His tall form, the rugged look that made it seem like he had woken up with a dungbomb in his bed, and he was sure that if Athena had not gotten her badge back, he would be very displeased.

Once he was seated with his family, his dark eyes looked about the Great Hall, until the Headmistress started up the graduation speech. Now it was the Head People. Axel did not know either of them so he tuned them out and searched out his daughter. When he found her, the anger that he had of her losing her prefect badge melted away. It had seemed as though she had earned it back. Good otherwise he would have been very distraught, if that. Axel waited until the speeches were over and then the diplomas went out. He clapped when Hades and Kaia received theirs. Axel was not surprised with Kaia’s upbringing, but wondered if anyone could see that ring on her finger. Shrugging, once Athena received hers, he clapped even harder. Of course he would, that was his daughter. Things were wrapped up and he got up to find his youngest, pure-blood daughter to congratulate. She had made him proud today.

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

As a professor Elvera was invited to the graduation ceremony. These were always interesting days, bittersweet but interesting. It was always sad to see students leave but it was happy that they had made it so far, and each had so much ahead. the heightened emotion of the hall was enough to send her into a bunch of visions but she had resorted to the gloves she had for the most part been able to go without. after the first year and a bit of her own graduation when she was still trying ot get a control of her gift. though she did cheat a little and try and have a glimpse of what each of the students had coming though some were harder to read than others.
this years graduates were special. these were the last students who attended the school who could possibly remember her as a student, and who she could remember from also being a student. she sat near the back, letting the seventh years and guests sit in the better places. she was not really important to the ceremony.
She listened as the head students gave their speeches. both of the gryffindor, she was sure that Cyndi would be proud of them. she didn't know the head girl that well and although she had never had the head boy for classes she had talked to him on various occasions and when he said a professor had told him once that a problem shared is a problem halved she had a pretty sure thought that she had told him that once years ago. could he still remember that conversation. wow. she could feel her eyes start to tear when the students got their diploma. she took out a tissue that she had remembered to bring with her. she although she didn't know too many of them personally, she had seen them around the castle for six years. and she would miss them. once the ceremony was over she stayed in the hall for a while congratulating the graduates, and also talking to a few people she knew who had come to watch. soon she decided it was her turn to leave and with a last goodbye to one of the graduates she left the hall so as to catch up on some more exams she had to mark.

 

[Hades Styx]

Hades Styx could not be more proud right now. His firstborn son is graduating, and his adopted daughter as well, Kaia. Her sister was married to his grandfather's brother, which Hades thought was just normal with their family and their reach to other pure-bloods. Hades entered the Great Hall and found his seat with his father, Kalif Styx whom was also seated for the ceremony. Many of the generation of Zhefarovich's were among the crowd, and Hades could not help but be proud too. Half was here for his son and daughter, and the other half were for Athena. Hades listened to the speeches but did not think anything of them until Aphrodite mentioned how her dad died, and he could not help but be amused. After all, it was their family's fault that he was dead. Thing was, he was an arse, so she was not missing on anything. The dark man did not clap but instead waited for the names to be called up to receive the diploma. Once they started, it took them a while to get to the S's for his part of the family. He clapped when Hades received his diploma and then when Kaia received hers. Something was on her finger, and Hades' eyes tried to catch it, but it ducked out just in time. He ignored it and waited for his cousin to receive her diploma. Once she had, he clapped for her as well, before standing up to meet up with the new graduates.​

 

[Isaia Romanes]

Isaia Romanes could not be more proud than he was right now. His girlfriend of four years, well almost four years, was finally graduating. The year had been long, but they were strong enough to hold together. Now they could be together. Isaia could not wait to have her in his arms again. He walked into the familiar Great Hall and he took his seat next to Alyssa. He felt bad that Vincent had to watch the kids, but he was more glad that he did not have to watch Vincent and Alyssa together anymore. Then again he spent most of the time away to go teach. So it was not like he could complain that much. Isaia looked up when Professor Davershire spoke and then really listened to Aphrodite's speech. He knew about all of this yet all he wanted to do was to rush up on stage and hug her. Once her speech was done, he clapped so hard, it made his own hands hurt. Chuckling, he listened to Samual Kaster's before clapping for his too. His was pretty good as well. But Isaia was biased, and he thought that his girlfriend's was better. So no one could ask for his opinion. Once the diplomas were given out, he clapped for Aphrodite before rushing after once to go and hug her. He felt like he needed to hold her in his arms again. "I am so freaking proud of you, my girl!" He managed to say once he got a hold of her.​

 

[Kamaria Zhefarovich]

It was about time that Athena was graduating. Kamaria Zhefarovich arrived to the familiar Great Hall where she once stood as Head Girl. Her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders and down her back. She had entered a little later than her father because she was at work mere hours ago, and she had to get dressed for this occasion. Marching down to where her family was, she seated next to them. Her eyes looked around until she could find her little sister. She managed to spot her. From what she could tell, Athena had earned her badge back just in time. Kamaria stole a glance from her father and could see that he too was happy. The speeches were finally up, and then Kamaria looked at the Head Girl and the Head Boy. She thought that she could recognize the Head Girl. She was a third year when Kamaria was at the school. That seemed like ages ago, and now she was free. The Head Girl's speech was touching, and she clapped politely. The Head Boy on the other hand still looked like he was about twelve, so Kamaria tuned him out naturally. Finally it was time for the diplomas. It took ages for them to get to their family, but Kamaria was proud of them all. She clapped for Kaia and Hades the Second, and finally her sister. Kamaria felt so prideful right now, all of her cousins and one sibling graduated with their prefect badge. There was no higher honor (except Head Boy and Girl but whatever).​

 

[Keyne Baros]

Keyne Baros was just here the previous year when Mylie Thoreau had graduated, and now it was time for his youngest to graduate. His hand in his ex wife now girlfriend's hand, he walked into the Great Hall for the final time (for now anyway) and he found a seat. Keyne had been a mess since he had realized that this was Zayne's final year, but he did not mind it too much. Well, that was a lie. He really minded it. He wanted Zayne to be a first year again, and not have to worry about graduation. Keyne still wondered what Zayne got for Kaia that was worth over a grand. Zayne always changed the subject when Keyne questioned him on it. Keyne let it go after six months and thought it might have been an expensive dress or something. Looking over to Leilani, he gave her a smile before the graduation ceremony began with the Head people and what they had to say to the room. Keyne would have hated being a Head Boy and giving out a speech. It would have killed him inside. Shrugging his shoulders, he did not think too much of it. Zayne looked good though. He looked for his daughter and he found Mylie. He would have waved to her but she was not paying any attention. Keyne watched ahead and he clapped when Zayne got his diploma. Once they were all given out, Keyne stood up and went to congratulate his son, while keeping an eye on who in the world Mylie was hugging right now. He narrowed those eyes but she was an adult, like Leilani constantly reminded him of, there was nothing he could do about it.​
