Me and Harry walked into a corridor where up on a stairwell balcony, his arm was still bandaged, Hermione and Ron were talking. They stopped when they seen me and Harry and they lean over the railing.
"All right there, Ron?" Harry asked
"All right? You?" Ron says
Harry shrugs "All right."
"Hermione?" I asked
"Never better." She said smiling
"What about you Leon?" Ron asked me
"Fantastic." I said smiling.
The Great Hall, full of students eating and talking with each other. There are green and silver banners with the Slytherin symbol above our heads, already indicating the house with the most points. Dumbledore gives a slight nod to professor McGonagall, who then clinks her spoon to her glass, to ask attention from the students. The crowd falls silent. Dumbledore stands up.
"Another year, gone! And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarded and the points stand thus. In fourth place: Gryffindor, with 312 points!" There was a medium applause from the crowd. "In third place: Hufflepuff, with 352 points!" The applause for Hufflepuff is slightly louder than the clapping for Gryffindor. "Second: Ravenclaw, with 426 points!" Applause again, this time with a slight cheer from some students. "And in first place, with 472 points: Slytherin house!" A loud roar rises from the Slytherin table, as students stand up and clap for themselves. Hermione scowls with her hand to her cheek; Snape applauds the students of his house I fold my arms looking at Dumbledore who still looked like he had something to say. "Yes, well done Slytherin, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account and I have a few last minute points to award." Some faces at the Gryffindor table rise hopefully. "To Miss Hermione Granger, for the cool use of intellect while others were in grave peril: fifty points!" Hermione looks surprised, while the other Gryffindor students applaud her. Harry gives Hermione a pat on the back.
"Good job." He says to her.
I put my hand like a megaphone "Woooo! Go Granger!" I shouted moving my hands from around my mouth and started clapping.
"Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years: fifty points!" Ron looks even more surprised than Hermione did and the Gryffindor table is applauding even louder. "And third, to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure love and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house: sixty points!" The Gryffindors cheer again, this time even louder than before.
"We're tied with Slytherin!" Hermione said whispering excitedly.
"And fourth: Mr. Leon Elliott, for never leaving a friends side, and risking your life for them: sixty points!" My eyes widen big as Harry pats me on the back and Ron puts his hand on my shoulder. "And finally: it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award ten points to Neville Longbottom! Neville can't believe what he just heard and the Gryffindors that heard Hermione's whisper are cheering the loudest. "Assuming that my calculations are correct, I believe that a change of decoration is in order!" He claps and motions his hands towards the Slytherin banners, where they flap heavily, until the banners have changed completely to red and gold with the Gryffindor symbol. "Gryffindor wins the House Cup!" "The Great Hall explodes with applause, not only from the Gryffindors, but also from the Ravenclaws and the Hufflepuffs, because they are glad that, for the first time in seven years, someone other than Slytherin has won the House Cup. Hagrid can't help himself to also cheer, and all students except the Slytherins throw their hats in the air, while Malfoy angrily throws his on the table in defeat. The Gryffindors around Harry are all congratulating him and Harry smiles to Hagrid, who smiles back. Some of the Gryffindors mess up my hair patting me on the back.
The outdoor train station, Students are walking around, getting in the train.
"Come on now, hurry up. Yeh'll be late. Train's leaving. Go on. Go on. Come on. Hurry up." Hagrid said rushing kids on the train
Harry hands Hedwig to a train man, I hand Ezekiel to the train man after he puts Hedwig away. We walk to an open door of the train with Hermione. Hermione waves to Hagrid, who waves back. Hermione gets in the train.
"Come on, Harry." Hermione said
"Yeah, my mum and dad said they'll take you home." I said rushing Harry
"One minute." He walks over to Hagrid.
Harry walks back to the train door where me, Hermione and Ron were waiting.
"Feels strange to be going home, doesn't it?" Hermione says
"I'm not going home. Not really." Harry says
The train whistles and we climb aboard. As the train starts to leave, Me and Harry wave out the window to Hagrid, who waves back.
