This isn't goodbye

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

It had been a whole since elvera had been in the castle. Possably the second longest time she had been away from the towers and corridors of the school since she was eleven. The longest being the year after she graduated before she got her job teaching divination. It wasn't like she had been doing nothing since December. She had been busy, two babies were no easy job. Today however she was back. Attending graduation. Something she didn't like missing. This year would be a good one she thought. Though a sad one. One of her best students was leaving. It would be sad to see ia go, but she knew ai had a lot on her plate and she was glad the girl would still be able to graduate with some semblence of normality.
The ceremony was near to beginning when she slipped in the back with seline asleep in Morgans arms and Heliana almost asleep in hers. She had missed her students this year, but she would miss her girls more next year so she would make the most of the few months she had left with them. First was the head girls speach and she listened intently. Every year seemed to have its own theme. Some years was a nostalgic congratulations of finishing, some years it was a welcome to the world of adulthood some was a strong thank you to professors and friends, and even others were a things I have learned whilst here. This year Ai's speech was a little unusual. A mixture of non-apologies and congratulations. Like every years graduates before her she nailed it on the head. Next Raziel stepped up to the podium and elvera wondered what he would say, he was well rebound for being extreamly quiet. It wasn't really that surprising when his speech was short she was just about to clap lightly so as not to desterb Heliana when he stepped back to the stadium and added a few more words. She smiled some how proud of him knowing that standing and talking in front of so many people was nerve wracking for anyone. Let alone someone who was so shy.
Next. Like every year came the handing out of the diplomas. She smiled at each of the graduates though didn't clap as she was sure the movement would rake up heli, and who wanted a crying baby in the graduation. No-one she knew that was for sure.
Eventually the ceremony was over and the noise level rose with guests talking to their graduates, and graduates wishing each other goodbye. This also finally woke seline who she was greatful didn't cry, she was a lot quieter than her sister, however the little girl reached for her mummy. Elvera looked and made sure she was okay. Unfortunatly the girl decided she didn't want grandma, she wanted mum. And from her expression she new she was on the edge of crying. The two le feys swapped children. So Heliana still asleep was in Morgans hands before elvera made her way into the hall a little further trying to keep her eye out for Ai. Wishing the other graduates good luck, and the guests hello as she went. Glad that seline had decided not to cry.

The graduation ceremony had gone swiftly and smoothly and Ai could barely believe that she had just graduated a few moments ago. The mixed emotions she held earlier were now drained from her system and what's left inside of her were feelings of happiness and pride. She had not expected herself to have graduated really. In all her years of studying in Hogwarts, she had always thought that at some point that she would drop out from school one way or the other and so now that she had received her diploma, she was probably one of the happiest in the whole world. Especially since the pregnancy she was going through did not stop her in the least to finish her studies, instead, it had served as her motivation during the last months of school. When she found nothing to fight and stand up for, she found her baby. And he or she had become the most important person to her. After spending ample time with Conan and Ryuuji inside the Great Hall, Ai had decided to wander about, talking with some of the students she had established a relationship with in her years in Hogwarts until she had reached the outside and caught sight of a rather familiar face. "Professor Elvera!" Ai called out as she all but ran towards the older woman. The Hufflepuff, or rather, former Hufflepuff had not spoken with the older woman for ages and she was certainly glad that she had not missed graduation, otherwise, Ai was not sure when she would be able to see the woman again. After all, she would be staying in London until she gave birth most probably and she planned on using the last of her inheritance from her late parents to provide for her child before working when the child had grown a bit. So, seeing Professor Elvera right now was such a delight for the Asian. "I'm so glad you came!" she said ecstatically when she had finally reached the woman though very mindful with her voice because of the babies around.

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

through the crowd Elvera heard her name being called. she turned around and Saw Ai coming towards her. "Ai" she said putting one arm around the girl in a sort of congratulations hug. "congratulation on graduation and your fantastic speech" she said. letting the girl go "how are you?" she said
She smiled when the girl said she was glad that she had attended the ceremony. "I wouldn't miss it, I may be on maternity leave but I am still a professor here, and i still need to congratulate you Seer Edogawa she said smiling, She remembered her sister had become a full fledged seer when she had graduated, and she was fairly sure the same rules applied, Ai had been doing well in her training and she was fairly sure she would now be more than practiced enough to be a full seer. Realising that what she had said about maternity leave was specially relevant for Ai, she looked good, the bump was fairly clear on the small lady, but she looked good. "Morgan told me everything about your pregnancy, you are doing great. Do you have plans for the future?" she asked "you are more than welcome to stay with us, for as long as you want, no questions, no rent, we have plenty of spare rooms." she said. she was sure her mother had already made the offer, but she wanted to make it too.
