The students had begun to arrive in the Feasting Hall for the end of the school year. Though they hadn't had classes for the past month and had been free to go, as tradition kept it at these schools, a number of students would choose to stay at school even during the summer months. Today would mark the first time in many years, since Agiel was Headmaster, that there would be any recognition of the passing of the school year into another.
The Feasting Hall was draped in blue, to honor the Ravenclaws who won this year's house cup. Eagles were the motif everywhere, making the hall into an eyrie of sorts. When Talon finally saw everyone in their seats, he stood up and began to clap loudly. "Congratulations Ravenclaw!" He shouted, a smile on his face. Ravenclaw wasn't his house, but he was proud of them. They truly did deserve their winning this year. "May your wits give you strength and may this victory not go to your heads!" After announcing this, he cleared his throat and began his speech.
"This year marks the graduation of many outstanding students who I have been proud to teach during my years as a Professor and a Headmaster. Just young things when I first started my career, they were members of the Cabal against Danawi, and later were the Champions of the War of the Shadows. Many of their class won't be graduating with them...but they are heroes, all." It stung him to say the last words, but he knew a token of remembrance should've been spoken for those who gave their lives in the War. Though Talon would've preferred they had stayed behind, they refused, and like foolish children rushed out and met their deaths. But all the same, if it were not for them, nothing would be standing.
"However, without the sadness of the past, we may look to a bright new future! Among these graduates are your Hufflepuff and Slytherin Prefects, Forgoil Halifirien and Protege Seapplek! Let's give a round of applause for them!" Talon waited for a few moments before continuing his speech. "And since your Prefects are gone, it would only be proper to pass out the badges for this year's newest leaders! To Gryffindor, serving alongside Ashelle Rainier, is Felix Genero! To Ravenclaw, serving alongside Morgan Pendragon, is Aether Shardae!" He held the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw badges in two hands and put them in front of him for when they would come to collect them. "And to whet your wonder for who will be serving Hufflepuff and Slytherin, I award the title of Prefect onto Cedrella Kelly and Chika Chisama of Hufflepuff, and Thomas Lucre and Fuu Sunzaki of Slytherin!"
