Harry with his arm still bandaged enters a corridor where up on a stairwell balcony, Hermione and Ron are talking. They stop when they see Harry and lean over the railing.]

Harry: All right there, Ron?

Ron: All right. You?

Harry: [as he shrugs] All right. Hermione?

Hermione: [smiling] Never better.
[We see the Great Hall full of students eating and talking with each other. There are green and silver banners with the Slytherin symbol above their 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 and speaks with his magically magnified voice.]

Dumbledore: Another year gone. And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding. And the points stand thus: In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 points. [There is a medium applause from the crowd.] Third place, Hufflepuff with 352 points. [The applause for Hufflepuff is slightly louder than the clapping for Gryffindor.] In second place, 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]
Draco: Nice one, mate. [sneers at Ron]
Yes, 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, 50 points. [Hermione looks surprised, while the other Gryffindor students applaud her.]

"He can't do that" James spoke up "that isn't fair Slytherin won fair and square" Regulus said bitterly "yea I'm agreeing with baby black that's not right" Marlene said.

Harry: [giving Hermione a pat on the back] Good job. [Draco, Mia, and mattheo don't like what's happening. Hermione looks at Hagrid, who looks back to her with a proud smile.]
Dumbledore: Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years, 50 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 nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house 60 points.

[The Gryffindors cheer again, this time even louder than before. Braxton has a cringing look on his face, while Harry sees a proud, smiling Professor McGonagall at the teacher's table. Hermione, who has done some quick math, whispers to her fellow students.]
Hermione: We're tied with Slytherin!
[Now, the Gryffindors look really hopeful, as Dumbledore hasn't finished talking yet.]
Dumbledore: 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 10 points to Neville Longbottom. [Neville can't believe what he just heard and the Gryffindors that heard Hermione's whisper are cheering the loudest. Malfoy looks quite uncertain now.] 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.

People in the hall was not happy about this minus Lily and Molly of course who was beaming with pride.

[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 Draco angrily throws his on the table in defeat. The Gryffindors around Harry are all congratulating him, and Harry smiles to Hagrid, who smiles back.]

Mia: that is some bullsh- [mattheo covers her mouth]

"Mia" elffie scolded "sorry grandma" Mia apologized with her puppy dog eyes Elffie came over hugging Mia "Oh its okay baby things slip out sometimes in anger" she spoke softly Sirius and James looked at them in disbelief "she does the puppy dog eyes better and I do how is that even possible" Sirius huffed "if I would have said that in first year mum would have hit me in the back of the head" James spoke offended.

Mattheo: calm down mi amor I know it's unfair but next year they will get payback.

"That was adorable he called her his love" Marlene cooed "I think we should come up with a ship name" Alice squealed.

Alexzander: so we are sticking to our plan we are all joining the team next year.

"Yesssss" Sirius yelled "my daughter trying for the team, my daughters trying out for them " James sang dancing around.

Mia: yup time to knock the chosen one down a few pegs [Mia scoffed]
