Tori tugged her mum out into the hall, waiting desperately for Rory to come and find them. She was so excited that he was graduating, and a little bit sad. She was so glad she'd had him for her first year, but she wished she would have him for the rest of her years at Hogwarts too. She could definitely use his guidance as things got further in her education. She was going to miss him listening to all the goings on in her life, and talking at him constantly about what was happening in the dorms, who was friends with who and what was happening over in the Cade household - all information she tended to get from either one of the twins, or Esme. She had grown to rather like Esme actually, she and Kiera seemed really nice. In fact she wanted to ask them something, but it would have to wait until next year now, but she was so excited. "Rory! Over here!" She called, waving both of her hands (including the one clutching her mum's) to get his attention.​

It was surreal to be back at Hogwarts after so many years away. When she left the school after her own graduation Georgina had been adamant she would never set foot in the school again, that had of course changed when she had children of her own and they turned out to be magical, which wasn’t a surprise given their respective fathers. Georgina found herself in the very great hall she had been in for her own graduation, this time she watched as her son walked across the stage and collected his diploma.

After the ceremony had ended she was dragged out into the hall by a very excited Tori, who had been borderline feverish with her excitement while watching Rory graduate. She know pulled her into a spot where it would be easy for Rory to spot them, not satisfied with just being easy to spot, Tori raised her arms and called for him as soon she spotted him across the room, sending her own arm flaying as it was currently clutching hold of her daughter’s. “Rory!” She beamed at her son as he approached them. “I’m so proud of you,”

Walking across the stage had felt like a surreal moment. He was actually done with school, he’d walk out of Hogwarts with no reason to return, save for Tori’s graduation a few years later. Everything was in front of him and that made him feel both optimistic and terrified. Rory stepped away from the other graduating students and looked around for his family, Tori spotted him first and she made that very clear by shouting for him across the room. He made his way over to them and hugged the both of them. “Thanks mum, I’m glad you could both be here,”

Tori's arms twisted around Rory, almost as though she was trying to crush him, which was impossible since she was only twelve. "Yes! And you're going to come to mine right!?" Of course he was, because he was Rory and he'd never let her down. She kept her hand clenched tightly in her mother's, almost worried she would disappear if she didn't. "You did it, Rory, you really graduated, how do you feel?"​
