Hogwarts Graduation Ceremony

''Well, you already have'', Doyle said. ''Majere, you take that ...'', he began but paused for a moment. ''Who's that in disguise?'', he asked Wilson. ''Ne'Os Emof'', Wilson replied shortly. ''Oh, right. Paper boy, please take that homicidal vampire badly disguised as a girl into a room. Gay is okay, but a pederast, Majere? Isn't that too much? Well, nonetheless, you could use your office while you still can'', he replied.

(Mind the terminology, but imagine Doyle as House, you would not see him use different terms. It was not meant as an insult for neither of them, rather as a sarcastically embarassing remark)

Jess Potter wrote:Jess looked up and saw Mari, flashing a curious smile her way he rose in his chair and walked forward, reaching her and giving her a big hug. "Today's the big day," he said proudly, he'd been waiting for this for what felt like... forever. "Congratulations, you've finally made it. Excited?" he asked her, grinning warily, eyes darting around the room. "You know, i heard even Darren's turning up to see you, wont that be odd," he said with booming laugh.

Mariana felt as Jess came closer and hugged her before she had even time to realize what was happening. She hugged him back feeling rather confused though it felt oddly nice. "Thank you i guess. Yes i am excited though didn't expect you would show up." she replied though they were talking about different kinds of excitment. "I am glad you did though. Does that mean you will be my partner for the night? For as much as odd that would be..." she asked adding the last comment more for herself then for anyone else.

Matt had just been standing in silence watching everyone talk. Smiling, enjoying his most likely last time in Hogwarts. Things were heating up, but he continued to mind his own business. He didn't know what he should do, weather to go and congratulate Mari, or to try and ease the air in the hall. He chose to stand there, if someone needed him they'd talk to him.

"The Order is not the only organization looking for you, there are aurors here too... and Death Eaters," Vincent said calmly. "I'd advise you to get out right now, I'd prefer not to have this graduation ceremony become a bloodbath." Vincent hated Ne'os for his fame, hypocrisy and the fact he had the elder wand, and he would normally not pass a chance to kill him. Right now however, was not a good time to do so.

"Well you see i am a death eater" he said giving him a smile that showed his fangs even through the disguize. And then he added in a voice only Vincent could hear "If you wish your friend here to dissapear i would be happy to oblige" he said wondering how Doyle could see through his polyjuice potion made disguise.

Doyle waved at Ne'Os. Yes, he was wondering how he knew he was in disguise. ''Polyjuice potion, lad? I am a Potions Master, but even common logic, seeing you walk, talk and behave more like an ox than a woman can lead anyone, well, our dear Pepermaster, sorry, Headmaster, is excluded, obviously, points out that you are 'wearing' a bad disguise. Since you can't look like a woman that much, it mus be my field of expertise'', he explained. ''Oh, and you do know that almost everyone can hear us?'', he added.

Ne'Os sighed "Indeed i do but they are fools they say what they want to if you tell them a homicidal vampire is in the castle they will panic. for your sake i would quiet down" he said feeling the polyjuice potion slowly unwinding he took a vial from within the dress and drank it. He would be good for another 5 minutes before his vampire motabolism demanded more.

And then he added in a voice only Vincent could hear "If you wish your friend here to dissapear i would be happy to oblige" he said wondering how Doyle could see through his polyjuice potion made disguise.

"i'd rather you disappear," Vincent replied coldly, before leaving both of them. He couldn't quite think of two people whos company he would want less. Both the vampire and the madman got on his nerves. Looking down at his watch, Vincent thought it was time to hand out the diplomas and end this damn ceremony soon.

Darren would of preferred not to ever come to the castle again. It gave him an intense feeling of nostalgia and reminded him of how he missed the castle since graduation. Still, he figured that his being there was necessary, because although many people wouldn't probably notice his abscence, he still wanted to be there to see the graduation of two of his old friends, Mariana and Sophia. He had been one year ahead of them, and therefore graduated one year earlier as well. But they had been good friends, at Hogwarts anyways - he hadn''t contacted many of his friends after he had graduated.

Not being a great fan of muggle clothing, Darren wore ordinary black robes and didn't bother making his hair either. He did look shabby when compared to the others in the room, all evidently wearing their best clothes. This was probably for the best though, he didn't want people looking at him, and many in the hall did not look at him twice as he looked around for one of his old friends. As he did so, he noted with disgust, that there were a couple muggle families there too. Finally, he noticed jess, and next to him, Mariana.

"Hello there," Darren said with a small smile as he looked at their surprised expressions.

Sophia was standing beside her farther as she seen someone come in who she haven't seen in what seemed froever even though it was just an year. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it!"said Sophia softly to herself as she walked over towards Mari and them. "Hey Mari, congratulations and you look great!"said Sophia giving her a soft warm smile and hugging her. As she turned to Darren she laughed and smiled. "Well, well, look who decided to show up!"said Sophia smiling. "Hello stranger, long time no see."said Sophia softly looking at one of her good friends at Hogwarts."So how are you?"Sophia asked him softly. "Oh right, I forgot you don't like people asking you questions."said Sophia.
