With that, Ashfield ended his speech and joined the professors.
As Ashfield concluded his speech, the atmosphere in the grand hall was charged with a mix of emotions—pride, nostalgia, and anticipation for the future.
Jaegar, however, couldn\'t resist adding his own touch to the moment. With a snap of his fingers, a flicker of flames ignited at the tips of his hands, forming a small, controlled fire.
As the magical fire danced at his fingertips, Jaegar subtly guided it upward, creating a whimsical trail that ascended towards the stage where Ashfield stood. The fire, instead of dissipating, gathered momentum and transformed into a vibrant display of swirling lights.
The audience, still caught in the aftermath of the emotional speech, began to notice the enchanting spectacle unfolding above them.
In a burst of radiant colours, the magical display coalesced into a cartoonish form of Ashfield. The whimsical caricature of the headmaster mimicked his gestures from the speech, adding a touch of playfulness to the solemn occasion. The hall erupted into a mixture of gasps and delighted laughter as the animated image of Ashfield pranced around the stage.
Jaegar, hidden in the shadows, couldn\'t help but chuckle at the reactions of his fellow students. The light-hearted display continued for a few moments, capturing the attention of everyone in the hall. Just as the laughter reached its peak, the animated Ashfield burst into a spectacular burst of lights, resembling a magical firework.
The grand hall was once again illuminated, this time by the radiant glow of the magical display. The intricate patterns of light painted the walls and ceiling, casting a mesmerizing spectacle upon the students. As the last remnants of the display faded away, the grand hall was left in a state of awe.
Jaegar\'s impromptu addition to the ceremony had transformed the atmosphere, injecting a sense of levity into the formal proceedings. The students, now caught between amusement and admiration, applauded the unexpected magical display. Meanwhile, Ashfield, though momentarily surprised, couldn\'t help but crack a smile and be annoyed at the same time.
Pierre pulled Jaegar as he put his hand around his neck and asked, "Did you do that?"
"I don\'t know, Pierre." Pierre laughed and said, "It was awesome."
The entire hall was echoed with the screams of the students as they cheered. Ashfield couldn\'t do anything, as everyone was feeling the excitement and joy of the moment. He realized that, despite his annoyance, he couldn\'t deny the enchantment that had taken hold of the ceremony.
He decided to let go of his frustration and join in the celebration, allowing himself to be swept away by the contagious enthusiasm of his fellow students.
Jaegar and Pierre stood together as they held the glasses of wine, "Why was he so dramatic at the end of the speech?"
Jaegar then said, "If you don\'t go to her, you will have one at your hand." He pointed to Jennifer, who was glaring at Pierre.
"All right man." Pierre then left to go to Jennifer.
Jaegar, initially observing the festivities from the outskirts, found himself drawn into the dance. A hand was extended; it was Professor Isadora.
"Professor." He took her hand, and they went onto the dance floor. She was dressed in a beautiful emerald green gown that accentuated her elegance. Her white hair was braided into an intricate updo, adorned with delicate pearls that shimmered under the chandelier lights.
As they twirled and spun, Jaegar couldn\'t help but feel a sense of admiration for Professor Isadora\'s graceful movements and the way she effortlessly commanded the attention of everyone in the room.
Jaegar, with a subtle smirk, looked around the crowded dance floor, aware that their presence had indeed become the centre of attention. The strains of music filled the grand hall as he and Professor Isadora gracefully moved to its rhythm. The enchanting melody seemed to weave around them like a magical thread, and they danced with an effortless synchrony that captured the fascination of onlookers.
As they swirled and twirled, the atmosphere around them pulsed with an ethereal energy, and the enchantment of the evening seemed to intensify. Jaegar couldn\'t help but notice the whispers and curious glances from fellow graduates, their eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and intrigue.
"Professor," Jaegar murmured, his voice barely audible over the music. "I think we have attracted too much attention."
Professor Isadora, still gracefully gliding across the dance floor, leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Don\'t worry about them."
She whispered again, "Will you remember me, Jaegar?"
Jaegar squinted his eyes and hid his surprise at her question. he replied, "Of course, I won\'t forget you," he whispered in her ear, "Isadora."
Isadora smiled as the dance continued, and the pair moved in perfect harmony.
The grand hall, adorned with elegant decorations and bathed in a soft, magical glow, provided the perfect backdrop for this unexpected spectacle.
The other couples on the dance floor couldn\'t help but steal glances at Jaegar and Professor Isadora. Some exchanged hushed conversations, while others simply marvelled at the unique pairing that defied the conventional norms of the academy\'s social dynamics.
As the music swelled, so did the intensity of their dance. The subtle chemistry between Jaegar and Professor Isadora became a subject of whispers and speculation. Some speculated about the nature of their relationship, while others simply admired the beauty and grace that unfolded before their eyes.
Then they suddenly stopped, and Isadora held his hand and said, "That\'s it then; thank you, Jaegar."
"My pleasure, Professor."
He watched her leave, thinking back to the time he spent with her. It was memorable for both of them, and it will stay that way, it will not be labelled as anything.
After she left, Jaegar went to the food table.
The banquet table, laden with an array of magical delicacies, beckoned the attendees to partake in the feast. Goblets filled with shimmering elixirs and plates adorned with dishes enchanted to delight the senses added to the enchantment of the night.
