Hi guys! Happy new year, sorry I haven't updated this story in a while.

This the last chapter of Isabel's first year! The story will change a bit in second year. I will have a few days of break on this story (three days max), just so I can work on my other two (if you want a Harry+OC story, or a doctor who Harry Potter crossover check them out :) #marketing.)

Once again thanks you guys for supporting me in my writing, I love the fact that people like my ideas. Here's the chapter now;

I put my copy of Fantastic beasts and where to find them in my trunk. I hear a voice from behind me "Isabel, you should hurry up, the feast is starting in a few minutes, and you know how hungry Rory gets!"

"Yeah, one moment!" I say "You two go on ahead!" Riley gives up and walks down the stairs. I sit down on my bed. It's funny, I'm not the sentimental type and yet here I am sitting here, like an old woman reflecting on her life. Hogwarts had changed me so much. I was going to miss being here during the summer break.

I suppose this school had given me a new sense of confidence. I had learnt to stand up to my brother and not take anything from his idiot side kick Sirius. I had made friends and had learnt so much in my lessons. Rory, Riley and I had all gotten good marks for our exams. Riley had gotten the highest in the year for potions.

Then I hear a voice from behind me "You know, I really don't think it would be good for a student from a model house like Ravenclaw to be late."

I swing my head around and see that it's the Ravenclaw ghost, the grey lady.

"Yeah, I'm going down now!" I say quickly, and close my trunk. A few minutes later I am sitting at the Ravenclaw table with Rory and Riley. The talking was deafening and I struggled to hear Rory's complaints about how we hadn't won the Quidditch cup.

But then, professor Dumbledore stood up and the talk died away. "Well, this year has come to an end. I hope you have all had filled your brains with knowledge, but I am sure that in the summer you will have enough time to empty them out again in time for next year." He said serenely.

I saw James snorting with laughter and looking at me as if to say "yeah right."

"I am afraid that before you can get to eat you wonderful dinner, you will have to listen to an old man's rambles." Dumbledore said this with a smile "I would first like to announce the winner of the house shield."

Everyone in the great hall sucked in their breath. "I would like to congratulate Slytherin and Hufflepuff, for tying in third with 350 point exactly." The Slytherins looked sour at their loss but the Hufflepuffs shrugged it off good naturedly.

"and Ravenclaw for being second with 380 points." The Ravenclaws gave a small cheer. I clapped with them, second place was pretty good. "But the overall winner is Gryffindor! With exactly 400 points!"

The Gryffindor table gave a humongous roar of triumph. I glanced over and saw that my brother and his friends were all cheering loudly. The sight didn't make me feel sick, I was pleased for them. Then I saw that near by that Lily was laughing with happiness with a few girls. She caught my eye and we grinned at each other.

After the banners had been changed to red and gold to celebrate the victory, Dumbledore began to speak again. "The last thing I will say, is thanks to all of you for a wonderful year, and all of the staff look forward to seeing you again after the holidays. Now, there are only two words that remain, 'tuck in'."

Rory began to serve himself at once as the plates filled with food. I laughed and shared a look with Riley then got myself some potatoes before Rory could hover them up too.

The dinner was wonderful, which was then followed by dessert. I chose to have my favourite one, treacle tart.

After the end of the meals Riley turned to me and said "Well, it's the end of our first year. It's sort of strange really."

"How do you mean?" Rory asked her.

"Well, for so long we were the midgets of the school, but after this year we won't be the youngest anymore." Riley said with a thoughtful expression. I got what she meant. At the beginning of these twelve months, we had been a group of 11 year olds who had no idea what the school was like and were trembling with fear. Now we knew the school like the back of our hand, we had passed our first exams and we all belonged to a house.

Rory said "You guys may think it's strange, but I think it's wonderful. Just to think, next year we can boss the little ones around like the 2nd years did to us!"

Riley rolled her eyes and started telling him off. But all I could do was smile. I hadn't just found a 2nd home at Hogwarts, I had found a 2nd family too.

Yay! Isabel's first year is over. This chapter may have been a bit corny but oh well. Me and Isabel will see you soon for her second year, we'll see what happens next... :)
