Harry was standing outside the castle with Ron and Hermione at either side (he had just snapped the Elder Wand.) "Harry maybe we should go inside now their serving dinner soon", said Hermione. "Yah mate let's go" Ron said. Harry turned and walked back into the castle well what was left of it. There were bodies everywhere cover in ash whether they were death eaters or they were on there side not many new. The trio walked into the Great Hall only to find they were some of the last people to come in. Harry kept being stopped and congratulated on his way to the Gyffindor table. When he finally got there he sat himself down between Luna and Ginny who welcomed him with a kiss on the cheek."Congratulations Harry "said Luna in her usual dreamy voice. "Thank Luna" said Harry. Then he looked up at the staff table where Proffessor McGonagall was clapping her hands for silence. And with her voice magicly amplified said" The temperairy Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt has a speech". "Thank you Minerva" he said. " Listen up, today we have defeated the darkest wizard in the world Voldemort. And it is Thanks to All of you but especially Harry Potter and therefore I am awarding him order of Merlin First Class". All four tables erupted into applause. "Speech Speech Speech". Harry got up and walked towards the staff table. He took a quick glance at Hagrid and then hurried up next to Kingsley and took out his wand ( which he had fixed with the Elder Wand earlier) and amplified his voice. "Well it's not all thanks to me obviously all of you and your family's have had to live through a lot, deaths( he looked a the Weaslys),torture (he looked at Neville and Seamus and some others) and kidnapping (he looked at Luna). So Thank YOU for being there and fighting. Everyone applauded. Then Kingsley took over. " Now then I also want to award Order of Merlin to Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger. Ron's ears turned red and Hermione had a blush coming into her cheeks. They stood next to Harry and the trio were given there medals. There was a huge applause.
