[Mia and Ron stand before Professor Dumbledore in his office, with Fawkes on his perch, and the sword and Sorting Hat resting on the desk.]
Sirius' expression was one of incredulity as he directed his gaze towards Dumbledore. "Are you seriously going to scold them for saving Ginny, destroying You-Know-Who, then killing the basilisk?"
Charlie jumped in with fervor, "They should be commended for what they've done!"
The sentiment spread like wildfire, with everyone expressing agreement. The room buzzed with frustration at Dumbledore's apparent reprimand, the tension palpable.
Mia, however, let out a resigned sigh. She looked around at them, her eyes filled with a mixture of exasperation and amusement. "Okay, everyone, hold on a second. If you stop talking and let the movie play, you'll soon see what happens next."
Her calm yet assertive tone worked to bring everyone's attention back to the unfolding scenes. As the room lapsed into a focused silence, the anticipation and curiosity about the upcoming scenes once again took center stage.
Professor Dumbledore: You both realize, of course, that in the past few hours, you have broken, perhaps, a dozen school rules. Mia and Ron: Yes, sir. Professor Dumbledore: And there is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled. Mia and Ron: Yes, sir.
Hermione's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she confronted the unthinkable. "No! You can't just expel them," she exclaimed, the tremor in her voice reflecting her deep concern.
In the midst of the tension, Cho's features contorted in disbelief as she shook her head in denial. "There's no way this can be allowed to happen, Professor."
Amidst the upheaval, a defiant voice rang out. "You can't actually do it, Professor Dumbledore," the protest filled with urgency and confusion.
Meanwhile, Fudge and Umbridge exchanged smug, satisfied looks, their expressions betraying a sense of vindictive pleasure at the prospect of Mia's expulsion. The subtle smirks and condescending glances they shared only added fuel to the flame, heightening the charged atmosphere in the room.
Professor Dumbledore: Therefore, it is only fitting... [Mia and Ron look up] that you both receive special awards for services to the school. [Mia and Ron look at each other with smiles, then back at Dumbledore again]
"What?" Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, her confusion evident in her furrowed brow.
"None of us has ever been given that award," the Weasley brothers remarked, their tone carrying a hint of surprise and hope. They exchanged supportive glances, silently acknowledging the positive impact this recognition could have on Ron's confidence.
Amid the murmurs of astonishment and joy that rippled through the crowd, Neville spoke up, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Well done, Mia and Ron!"
