"We did it." As the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Class of 2023's Head Boy spoke these words, even the most powerful Sonorus charm couldn't have drowned out the screams and cheers from his graduating class. In fact, as the Head Girl joked in her ensuing speech, he really could have ended his graduation address with those three words. "We did it." The forty students who sat together that day had been Sorted together, had their first terrified lessons together, listened to the war stories of their Professors together, learned how to sneak out after curfew together, developed crushes on their Prefects together, had their first illicit sips of firewhiskey together, taken their OWLs and NEWTs together, and now graduated together. At the ripe age of 17 - and a few who have already reached 18 - the class of 2023 is preparing to separate after seven long, hard, wonderful years together.

But in between now and the future - Auror training, Healer training, internships at the Prophet, Cursebreaking school - there's the summer. The Last Hurrah! before they go their separate ways. A nine week long party, if you will. And if there's one thing the class of 2023 knows how to do... it's party.
