"Today is a grand day for all of you, as well as for the entire first-year staff... Months of effort and dedication have paid off. With the cold winter air, we officially conclude the first year of education for all of you. I have the great pleasure of delivering this speech..."
A pair of anxious eyes scanned the surroundings. Every first-year student wore a shiny black robe with golden lines along the sides, all seated in a grand hall with solemn expressions, though inside, they felt a mix of pride and joy.
A pair of purple eyes frowned, not finding the person they were looking for. Crossing their arms and pouting in frustration, they thought to themselves: Today was supposed to be a grand day, the day of graduation! Everyone's happy, but in reality, I feel so alone...
Sigh... he's not in the great hall,* Charlotte muttered quietly to herself. This is bad, really bad!
