All was well, the news that Harry Potter had stopped Voldemort had spread like wildfire. He came out alive, and the spirit was brilliant. The House Cup winners were to be announced and everyone was in remorse, except for the Slytherins as they had won it for the 8th year running.
Everyone was seated in the Great Hall. The Slytherin table was quite cheerful, everyone had forgotten the 'Harry Potter incident' and were celebrating on winning the House Cup. Dumbledore went up to say his ending speech.
"One year has come and gone! We all here have done our very best to earn our houses the house points!" "With this, I am happy to announce that Slytherin House have won for the 8 years in a row!" There was a very random noise. Some just decided not to clap at all.
"At 2nd place, we have Ravenclaw!" There was a little more cheer.
"At 3rd place, we have Hufflepuff!" There was a little less cheer.
"And at last place, we have Gryffindor!" He said. There was hardly any cheer from Slytherin House, some students decided to clap just to mock the Gryffindors.
"But- " Dumbledore said smiling. Everyone turned to look at him. There was a pin drop silence,
"- we have to include recent events as well," He said calmly.
"Therefore I award Mr. Ronald Weasley, a 50 points, for playing the greatest Chess game Hogwarts has seen in many years!" He said. There was a cheer from Gryffindor, they had overtaken Hufflepuff.
"I also award another 50 points to Ms. Hermione Granger, for the use of cool logic that most of us couldn't!" He said. Gryffindor were just a few points short of Ravenclaw, and 60 points from Slytherin.
"I award, Mr. Harry Potter, 60 points for the display of pure courage and bravery!" With this, a huge and enormous din erupted from Gryffindor table.
"And -" Dumbledore paused. There was pin drop silence again.
"- for standing up to not enemies, but to even friends, I award Mr. Neville Longbottom 10 points!" With this it ended. Gryffindor had a 10 points lead which marked the end of the 1st year.
