The graduation ceremony was incredible. The graduates' robes were similar to the standard Ilvermorny uniform, but laced with silver that sparkled in the midday sunlight. Also, the crest was not that of their House, but of all the Houses, surrounding a large letter I.
Wolfric was standing near the bar at the after-party, a mug of fairymead in his hand and a broad smile on his face. Wolfric normally avoided alcohol, but after seven years of diligent studying, he decided he could cut loose, if just for tonight.
Holly sidled up to Wolfric with a playful grin. "My my, Mr Valedictorian, are you drinking alcohol?" she said, feigning shock. Wolfric downed the last of his drink in reply.
"C'mon, dance with me," said Holly.
With that, the two made their way to the dance floor and started swaying to the music. Wolfric looked into Holly's eyes. It seemed to him that his own happiness was reflected in her face. After dancing for a while they went over to their table and sat down.
Wolfric felt someone clasp his shoulders from behind. "Hey Jason," he said without turning around.
"How'd you guess?" Jason asked, taking the seat next to him.
"I felt your palm lines." For a moment Jason looked stunned. Then Wolfric laughed and said "There's a mirror on the wall over there, duh." Jason saw that he was right.
"That's cheating," he said as Wolfric continued to chuckle.
"So's sneaking up on people," said May, who had just snuck up behind Jason.
Jason turned around and said "Et tu, Brute?"
"Have you even read that play?" asked May skeptically.
"That's from a play?" said Jason. The whole table laughed.
"Oh yeah, before I forget, I've got gifts for all of you," said Wolfric, waving his wand.
"You didn't have to-" started May as a duffle bag flew towards Wolfric.
"Yes I did. And don't think it's for free, either," he said, catching the bag deftly. "We're all going to stay in touch, no excuses. I designed these so they'd work even around a lot of magic," said Wolfric, pulling out three items that looked just like No-Maj smartphones.
May stared at them in awe. "How'd you get them to do that?"
"Elementary, my dear Watson," started Wolfric.
"My name's still Floyd, you know," she interrupted.
"For now," Jason muttered under his breath.
Wolfric's eyes darted to meet Jason's, just for a moment, then he continued. "I transfigured the... innards, for lack of a better word... so they would run on magic instead of electricity. I already tested them, so you don't have to worry."
"Dude, this is awesome," said Jason. He got up and hugged his friend, then May and Holly also joined in. This was a moment Wolfric would remember for the rest of his life. When they finally separated, Jason said "Now, um... how do I use it?"
May and Holly laughed while Wolfric started to teach Jason about the finer points of No-Maj technology.
"Are you gonna need help, too?" May asked Holly.
"Nah, my mom uses one for work. If I ever get stuck I'll text you, though."
"More like you'll ask Wolf," May said teasingly. Holly stuck her tongue out in response.
