Everyone (well, almost everyone) was gone.
However, before the inevitable end arrived, we had a few events.
Namely, our 'leavers dinner'.
It is not formal by most standards, but it was wonderful. All of the second years yanks a dress or shirt out of their semi-paced suitcases, tames their hair and makes themselves presentable. Then we all gather outside the castle and take about a million photos before we have a lovely dinner in the dining hall.
Speeches are made, staff is thanked and the clapping seems to be endless. Our smiles and laughs echo together around the beautiful hall for one last time. It was a wonderful dinner full of wonderful people.
But it was bittersweet. Beneath all of our smiles we were tears. We all knew that in just over 12 hours we would all be gone.
Nevertheless, the sun was out and so we captured our friends faces in photographs so that we can look back on them and remember how much we love them.

Another event is the 'leaver assembly'. This happens a day before the leavers dinner, while the first years are still on campus. We have a few more speeches, some music and then we all ate lunch outside in the sun.
