As I begin to feel the course dirt against my face, I see Arthur Plummly run past me, and back into the center stadium where the Hogwarts professors and crowds watch in anticipation.
I can only look down in shame and grit my teeth as I feel Poppy from behind help to pull me back on my feet while Imelda, Grace and Nerida manage to make it past the unconscious troll and out of the labyrinth.
I- I lost. Imelda's never going to forgive me- how could I slip up so badly-? I don't deserve her-
"Congratulations to the Slytherin team for coming in first for the Doomspell Tournament!" Professor Ronen exclaims before the crowd, amplifying his voice with his pointed wand while the rows of wizarding peoples begin to let out their excited cheers-
While Imelda and the others make their way over to me while I'm still trying process everything, Arthur quickly goes to Ronen saying aloud, "I don't understand-! I got out of that labyrinth first! How-?"
"As I stated before the challenge, the team gets to the end of the labyrinth first wins-" Ronen announces happily before turning back to us, "Because the team of former Slytherins have bested champions from the other three houses, they have earned the great prize of 500 galleons to split equally!"
I finally get out of shock once Imelda tackles me and firmly gives me a strong kiss before saying, "I knew I could count on you! Nerida! Grace! C'mon group hug!"
I barely manage to escape Imelda's grasp to gasp, "No wait please-"
The other two former classmates proceed to squeeze me intensely while everyone begins to gather around us- ... After clearing out of the stadium, Imelda leads us away from the crowds of cheering fans and supporters back towards the camping grounds where Nerida curiously asks, "Shouldn't we be getting the 125 galleons and the Doomspell trophy from Ronen and the others?"
Imelda smirks as shrugs casually, "What's with the rush? We won! Slytherin's beaten all the other teams- can't we have at least a single night to celebrate our hard-earned victory?"
Nerida reluctantly nods as Grace and I give Imelda a supportive glance before the Holyhead chaser flickers her wand to begin setting up some stands and tables, "Why don't we put together a little outdoor party- Slytherin only for the occasion?"
Within the next hour, Imelda manages to set up a whole celebration grounds, with floating candles, tables, chairs and even a bar which soon becomes flooded with over a hundred former and current members of Slytherin house as nighttime begins-
Among the many peoples, include some familiar faces, with Violet McDowell eagerly talking to a bored looking Professor Ronen,
Priscilla Wakefield and a few others are listening to Professor Ronen showing them the enchanted footage of our past three challenges, with some questions being asked about some of the specific actions I may have done, including freezing Charlotte in place while kissing her-
