When we walked out of the hospital wing we saw Ron and Hermione standing on a staircase. They noticed us and smiled.
"Alright there Ron?" Harry and I asked.
"Alright, you?" He shrugged.
"All right" we both shrugged and I smiled.
"Hermione?" I asked.
"Never better!" She said proud. I smiled even wider at her voice.

We were all gathered up in the great hall eating, Slytherin flags hung from the ceiling. That is when Professor McGonogall tapes her glass with her cutlery. We all went silent and Dumbledore stood up.

"Another year gone. And now as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding, and the points stand thus" he said. Me Harry and Ron didn't have the best looks on our faces. We had broken about a dozen rules, there's no way we were winning.
"In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 points!" He said. There was applause, mostly for feeling bad.
"Third place, Hufflepuff with 352 points!" He said, again everyone clapped.
"Second place, Ravenclaw with 426 points!"
Ravenclaw was proud of second place. But that left one more house, Slytherin.
"And in first place, with 472 points, Slytherin house!" He said. Slytherin went crazy, screaming and clapping the boys were tumbling over each other. Me and the gang clapped sadly. I looked at Snape who was clapping quickly, but his face was so serious. I smiled and waved at him. He looked confused as to why I would do that, but he gave me a small smile and wave. Harry and Ron looked annoyed. I looked towards their gaze and saw Draco smirking at us. I rolled my eyes and put my head in my hands.
"Yes yes well done Slytherin well done done Slytherin. However recent event need to be taken into account" Dumbledore spoke. I looked at Snape again who smiled at me.
"And I have a few last minute points to award" he said again. We all looked at each other confused.
"To miss Hermione Granger, to the cool use of intellect, when others were in grave peril.....50 points" he said smiling. Gryffindor yelled and applauded at Hermione.
I hugged Hermione and cheered for her, she hugged me back and laughed.
"Second to Mr. Ronald Weasly, to the best-played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen in many years.....50 points" he said again. We all screamed in pride and congratulated Ron.
"Third, to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage. 60 points!" He said. My eyes widened at Harry. I gave him a big hug and smiled. I was so proud of him.
"And fourth. To miss Y/n Potter! For never letting go of what you think is right, and following your instincts......I award Gryffindor, 60 points!" My eyes lit up with glory. Everyone was shaking me and congratulating me. Hermione and Ron was almost falling out of there seats. I looked towards Draco he was not happy. I smirked at him and giggled. I saw Snape clapping his hands for me, he looked.....happy. I smiled at him and he winked at me which made me giggle.
"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" he said. Everyone cheered again.
" assuming that my calculations are correct I believe that a change of decoration is in order!" Dumbledore said clapping his hands. The Slytherin flags turned a bright red and yellow colour showing our Gryffindor flag.
"Gryffindor wins the house cup" he said.
We all stood up cheering and hugging each other. I hugged Neville and his face turned red like a tomato. I laughed at him and winked. I turned around and hugged the gang. Then we all threw our hats up in the air in celebration. Well everyone except Slytherin. Me and Harry glanced at hagrid. He nodded at us and we did the same.

Once everyone had left the common room, I was on a mission to find Draco. I had to know that he'll keep my secret. Hopefully he will. I also hope he hasn't told Crabbe and Goyle yet. Just as I rounded the corner I saw him and his two minions sitting at an arch in the hallway. I gathered up some courage and walked over to them. They noticed me and they gave each other looks.

"I need to speak with you" I say to Draco. He rolls his eyes and doesn't move. I roll mine as well and grab his hand.

"Hey you can't just kidnap me. I'll tell my father about this!" He says as I drag him away from his friends. I bring him out to the field where nobody else was and let go of him. He glares at me.

"Look, the other day in detention you saw something about me that not many people know about. I need to know that you won't tell anyone else" I say sternly. He looks at me.

"Please" I beg. He groans.

"Fine, but this doesn't mean I like you. How did you even get these...powers? It's not like you're even a bloody pure blood" he says with disgust. Wow quite the charmer I must say.

"I don't know how I got them. I'm....trusting you, Draco" I say hesitantly. I see a small glint in his eyes but it doesn't last long.

"It's Malfoy to you" he says before going back to my friends.
