Reality Bites Harry Potter

Slytherins for the Win!

We would've been there for Harry when he woke up but Madam Pomfrey shooed us out of there. I'm sure it's going to play out how it did in the book, but I still wanted to be there for him when he woke up. After Shay told me about her and Fred, I pretty much just went to bed because it had been a long day. Earlier Minnie had come and found us. She wanted to work on us transforming back from our animagus forms. That was before Shay and Fred had their talk and whatnot. It's definitely gotten easier to transform back. The next day would be the End of the Year feast and then the day after we'd be returning home. Home... that's such an odd thing to think about. Shay and I technically don't have a home outside of Hogwarts. I mean, there's Minnie's house, but that doesn't feel like home, home. I feel like all of our family is here at Hogwarts. Well, I guess that's the beauty of this place. It's a place where you make friends and then they turn out to be family depending on how close you get to those friends. I love this world and despite all of the danger in it, I hope I don't ever have to leave it. I feel truly at home and I feel like I belong here. The next morning, I woke up later than normal. All of the tiredness I've felt throughout this school year must've just said enough is enough. I slept so well, it was almost scary. I got around for the day and when I went into the commons room, no one was there. Did I sleep for two days and miss the train? I sure hope not. I thought frowning as I decided it would be best to go to the Great Hall. I'm sure that's where I'll find everyone. I was right and judging from the ceiling, it looked like it was lunch time. Good, I'm starving.

I decided to sit with Shay, Hannah, Susan, Alex, Fred, and George at the Hufflepuff table since I won't get to tonight. I saw Theo, Blaise, and Pansy getting up and joining me. I smiled. I like how at the beginning of the year I didn't really have any friends, but now I've got a lot. "Good morning, sleepyhead." Pansy teased as she and others sat down. I shrugged.

"I can't help it if I'm tired." I said before loading my plate. "Has Harry woken up yet?"

"Yeah, everyone is talking about what happened." Shay said smiling.

"Oh, I didn't even notice." I said looking around me. People were talking and I heard Harry's name being mentioned a lot. I wonder how this is going to all play out tonight. I hope Gryffindor doesn't win the House Cup, because we've worked really hard all year.

"By the way, I've decided we're staying with the Weasleys this summer." Shay informed me smiling over at Fred.

"Of course you did." I mutter before eating some food.

"Wait, why do I feel like I'm missing something?" Pansy said frowning looking between Shay and Fred. Suddenly, she scowled at me and punched me in the arm.

"Ow, what was that for?" I groaned, rubbing my arm.

"Why didn't you tell me they were officially together?" She said still scowling at me.

"Because I was tired and I forgot." I mumble, annoyed. How does she even know that I know about it? I guess she just assumes I would be the first person Shay tells. Well, I'm sure Shay told Hannah, Susan, and Alex first.

"What's your problem?" Shay asked frowning at me.

"Excuse me for not wanting to be hit after just waking up." I said sighing.

"Oh that's right, you've never been a morning person. I guess it doesn't matter what time of day you wake up." Shay said giggling at me. I rolled my eyes. The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent just hanging out with everyone and we did go to the pitch one last time before we leave. I mean, I know I'll see it next year, but I'm going to miss Quidditch practice with Flint and the others. I feel like we've made a lot of progress and they've somewhat become my family too. Minus that ass, Higgs. He's the one person I'm glad I won't be seeing next year. Well, I definitely won't miss those stupid busy bodies I'm forced to call roommates. They can just go away. I'm surprised they haven't retaliated for what Pansy and I did. I'm sure they'll eventually think of something next year probably. Finally, it was time for the End of the Year feast and I had to sit at the Slytherin table. There were banners with the Hogwarts seal on them and they looked pretty cool. I want one.
