House Cup

[House Cup]

After Harry went through the door, the blonde checked Ron's body for any injuries and when she didn't come upon any, she sat by Hermoine's side and let out a sigh, "He's going to be okay. We just have to wait until he wakes up."

"How do you know?" Leslie looked at her confused and her friend repeated, "How do you know he's going to be okay?"

"Oh. My aunt is a doctor and when we go visit, I learn some stuff from her."

The brunette nodded and silence engulfed them. Not long after, the Weasley boy began to stir and the girls quickly helped him up once he was conscious, they were going back to the trap door, the girls somehow managed to enchant the harp so Fluffy was sound asleep. They took the Invisibility Cloak and quickly went to the owlery avoiding along the way the school's poltergeist. They passed through the corridors and just before they went to the owlery they saw Professor Dumbledore by the Entrance Hall, the three of them took the Cloak off of themselves and ran to inform the Headmaster, before any of them could say anything he spoke, "Harry's gone after him, hasn't he?" And he left them.

They sneaked back into the Gryffindor Common room and bidding Ron goodbye, the girls went to bed.

The next morning the blue-eyed girl was woken up by the brunette. She informed her that Harry was in the hospital before telling her to meet her downstairs to go visit him and she left the room. Ten minutes later Leslie met up with her friend and together went to the Hospital Wing. Ron was already there, eating Chocolate Frogs, and the blonde put hers on the table next to an unconscious Harry. They didn't stay long since breakfast was about to start and Madam Pomfrey told them that their friend would wake up soon, they decided to wait for their friend.

They were discussing the events that happened on  that night until they heard footsteps down below, they saw their dark-haired friend,

"All right there, Ron?"

"All right. You?" The dark-haired boy shrugged giving him the same answer before turning to the female students, "Hermione? Leslie?"

They smiled and the bushy-haired girl replied, "Never better."

"Let's go breakfast is about to start and I'm starving." Said the blonde and the redhead was the first one to go down the stairs to meet with his best friend. They entered the Great Hall, it was decorated with green banners hanging from the ceiling, they sat down and began to eat. After some time, the sound of glass dinging interrupted the student's meal and Professor Dumbledore rise up,

"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." Both Hermione and Harry looked down and Leslie had a frown on her face, "Third place, Hufflepuff, with 352 points. In second place, Ravenclaw, with 426 points. And in first place, with 472 points, Slytherin House."

There was immense cheering and the blonde noticed Ron glaring at the Slytherin table making her look that way, her friend was glaring at Draco Malfoy and when the platinum-haired boy noticed their looks he sneered at them. The cheers stopped as Dumbledore continued,

"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." All the Gryffindor students looked up. "To Miss Hermione Granger, for the use of cool intellect when others were in great peril, fifty points. Second, to Mr Ronald Weasley, for the best-played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years...fifty points. Third, to Mr Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house sixty points." Trough all the cheering the blonde could hear Hermione yell out, "We're tied with Slytherin!" But it seemed that the Headmaster was not finished, "Fourth, to Miss Leslie Finlay, for helping those in need, forty-five points. 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 ten points to Neville Longbottom."

More boundless cheers erupted. Neville sat unbelievingly and the girls hugged each other, the redhead nudged the blonde nodding towards the Slytherin table, Draco Malfoy had a downfallen look on his face, making the blue-eyed boy satisfied and the girl beside him looked at him with a small frown, almost invisible.

"Which means we need a little change of decoration." Professor Dumbledore clapped his hands and instantly the banners changed, green became scarlet and silver became gold, a lion replacing the serpent. The students threw their caps up in the air, everyone one was jumping around cheering and laughing, and Leslie couldn't have been happier and she definitely wouldn't forget this year.

They boarded the train and before they noticed, they were back at King's Cross station. Passing through the wall along with her friends she looked around for her parents as Ron said, "You must come and stay this summer. The three of you...I'll send you an owl."

The blonde nodded and bid her friends goodbye and ran to greet her parents, hugging them tightly and as they drove home, she told them everything, well almost everything, she left out the parts were they almost died.

She couldn't wait to start a new school year because in such a short time her three new best friends became like family.
