Sorry for the delay in posting. I was busy with tech week (We performed Pippin, it was a great show, in case you were wondering. I got to dress up like a lion, with insane hair, makeup, and gold pants. Quite the show.) And after tech week, I had to help my clean my house for my sister's bridal shower.

Harry was the first to wake the next morning, he reached over to the dresser beside him to return his glasses to face. When he did he looked around and saw everyone else sprawled across the beds throughout the room. He laughed when his eyes landed on where Ginny had fallen asleep, her face was covered by her hair, and she had an arm and leg hanging off opposite sides of the bed. He heard a grunt and a thud from the other side of the room. He looked over and saw that Ron had woken up and promptly fallen out of the bed he was in. Ron's head popped up over the bed and he looked around. When he saw that Harry was awake he groaned.

"You saw that, huh?" He went to pull himself up but decided against it and stayed on the floor.

Harry nodded with a laugh, "Yeah. So what happened after I passed out? Anything interesting?"

Ron shrugged, "I passed out ten minutes after you did. I doubt it, though."

"No, nothing much happened." Harry jumped and looked over to where Luna was laying. It looked like she was sleeping, but clearly, she was awake. "Sirius and Remus are still here, somewhere. They left a bit after Rolf fell asleep."

"Oh, alright then. They're probably discussing what happened with Dumbledore. He probably wanted to talk to them alone to see if there was anything else they thought he should know."

"We told him everything, though." Ron pointed out.

Harry shrugged, "You know Dumbledore, he likes to make sure he knows everything. Understandable, considering everything."

Ron shrugged as Hermione sat up in her bed, arms stretching over her head as she yawned and blinked the sleep from her eyes. "Mhmm, what'd I miss?"

"We think Remus and Sirius are talking to Dumbledore, but other than that, not much apparently." Ron answered, finally pulling himself off the floor and sitting next to her and pulling her into his side. When Harry looked back at Luna, he jumped again. Rolf was laying next to the now upright Luna with his head in the lap. It was eerie how both of them could move across the room without making a sound.

It took another half hour for Ginny to wake up, yawning just as Hermione had, though with much less grace. She wiped the drool from her mouth, threw her hair into a sloppy ponytail, and ate before she said a word to anyone. Harry was used to this, she was in no way a morning person and wouldn't speak to anyone before she got food in her stomach.

"Alright," She said as she finished the last of her breakfast, "I'm ready to leave this place. Anyone else?"

"Sorry, can't. Madame Pomfrey hasn't cleared me. It'll probably be a while before she does." A moment later, Bagman entered the room. Harry scowled on instinct, but Bagman either ignored him or didn't pay attention. He seemed incredibly happy. Probably, Harry reflected, because he had just won a large sum of money from Harry's winning the Triwizard Tournament.

"Harry, my boy! How are you feeling?" Without giving him a chance to respond, Bagman charged on, "Now, normally we have a ceremony directly following the Tournament, but considering the, ah, circumstances, and the fact dear Madame Pomfrey refuses to let you leave for the time being, we've moved the ceremony down. As soon as you're ready to leave, we'll have that ceremony. Now, I must get going, things to plan, of course. But congrats again, Harry." He turned and left before anyone had a chance to respond, cloaks billowing behind him, like a very bright version of Snape.
