A/N Oh God... Hello guys! To be honest I really didn't feel like updating this week (hence the delay). I think I'm just getting lazy, I'm starting to procrastinate (Must be because of all of the stupid reviews) I also had to write up something else on on another account. (Was really busy this month in other words).Anyways I wanted to update before I moved house and I know for a fact that this chapter is really bad. Sorry.
Lord Of Bones: Oh God... I've addressed this issue. If you don't actually like the way the story is then JUST DON'T READ IT. EASY AS THAT! I can't believe the amount of times I've said this. There are people who like this story and people who don't like how people like certain things and some don't. That's what make people unique but if you're gonna complain about stupid crap that bothers you all the time then I'm sorry to say that that is not the way the world works. Sometimes things don't go your way. GET OVER IT.
Sorry about that. Those kind of reviews really tick me off... Enjoy :D

As soon as I stepped in the great hall I looked over to the Gryffindor table to navigate where my friends were, seeing them made me smile although walking slightly hurt my ribs for some reason. As I walked over there I saw George tap Fred and Lee was looking at where George was pointing to. Me. I rushed over to them and tackled Lee in a hug since he was the closest to me and then Fred who was sitting next to me.
"Awwn... I thought you were dead.." George frowned and I punched him lightly. "No hugs for you Georgie." He raised an eyebrow, "Even though I was genuinely concerned about your health unlike them two?" He nodded towards Fred and Lee who glared at George. "Sure you were. I legitimately believe that." Sarcasm was practically dripping from my voice and I took a seat next to George. I straightened up and ruffled his hair. "There. You get the best friend treatment." George gave the other two a smug look. "See, I'm her best friend. Ha!" I decided not to say anything and to just enjoy the moment.
"I bet the Slytherins won the house cup again." Fred spat out and I slumped my shoulders. "You're probably right. They've won for so many years now... It'd be a miracle if another house won. I don't even care if it isn't Gryffindor anymore. Even if Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw won. Anything to get rid of Snape's stupid smug look... Gosh I hate that greasy haired b-" "Language!" Lee interrupted, "English." I said cheekily, "Why do you hate him so much anyways?" Fred queried as he leaned forwards slightly, his face was really close now and I pushed his shoulder. I could feel my face heat up as I glared at him. "Gosh Fred, haven't you ever heard of personal space... Jeez..." "I give up on her. Honestly." Lee shook his head at Fred and George and I raised an eyebrow at him. "You give up on me? For the love of God! I gave up on you ages ago." "Guys, shut up you're gonna give people the wrong impression. Your dad wouldn't be too happy if he heard you were dating Lee, would he?" George wriggled his eyebrows and I clenched my jaw and took a deep breath. "You make it sound like we're actually dating. And oh God... If I ever had a boyfriend I would feel sorry for him when he has to meet my dad." "What if you had a girlfriend?" I crossed my arms and sighed before I put my face in my hands and looked back at Lee. "We've been over this, I'm not a lesbian. OK Lee?" My voice sounded like I was talking to a 3-year old and I'm pretty sure Lee caught on to that. "I'll believe it when I see it." "Oh shut up Lee, your opinion doesn't matter, OK?" George glanced between us, "Oi, shut it. Dumbledore's about to talk." "What's the point in it all George we've probably los-" George put his hand on my mouth and shook his head. "Where's your optimism? ...Don't answer that. Just shut up, OK Hopey?" I puffed my cheeks and looked to the side before turning my head forwards and giggling. "Yes, sir!" I saluted and look towards Dumbledore.
''Another year gone!'' Dumbledore said cheerfully. ''And I must trouble you with an old man's wheezing waffle before we sink our teeth into our delicious feast. What a year it has been! Hopefully your heads are all a little fuller than they were, you have the whole summer ahead to get them nice and empty before next year starts. Now, as I understand it, the House Cup here needs awarding and the points stand thus: in fourth place, Gryffindor, with three hundred and twelve points; in third, Hufflepuff, with three hundred and fifty-two; Ravenclaw have four hundred and twenty-six and Slytherin, four hundred and seventy-two.''
Cheers erupted from the Slytherin table causing me to groan. As if the Slytherin banners didn't dampen my mood enough. "Great, we're last this year. What were you saying about optimism again George?" He didn't even look in my direction and I gave up after a second and went back to Dumbledore. "Yes, well done Slytherin. We must take recent events into account however. Ahem. Now I have some last minute points to dish out." Right more salt in the woun- Wait... What?! "Let's see... First to Ronald Weasley, for the best chess match Hogwarts has seen in many years. Fifty points to Gryffindor." As I clapped, I glanced over at Ron and could see that his face was red. I could hear Percy bragging about it to his fellow prefects and resisted the urge to yell at him to shut up. "Second, to Miss Hermione Granger. for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, I award Gryffindor house fifty points." I applauded even louder and even whistled as Hermione buried her face in her hands, due to embarrassment I presume. "And third to Harry Potter for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house another fifty points." I clapped even louder, which caused my hands to start hurting but I didn't care. "Well done little bro!" I yelled. The room was begining to quieten down and I could see Gryffindors calculate our points in their head, "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand upto our enemies, but just as much to standup to our friends. I therefore award ten points to Mr Neville Longbottom." "Yes Neville!" I yelled as his face became redder by the moment. We now had four hundred and seventy-two points. If only Dumbledore had given Neville another point. I opened my mouth to say something witty to George but Dumbledore raises up an arm. "And last but not least, Hope Potter. For standing in the face of danger for her loved ones. I award ten points to Gryffindor." Now it was my turn to turn red. My eyes moved to different places, taking in the cheers around me. I hid my face behind my hands as Fred casually draped an arm around my shoulder. "My best friend, she is!" Fred gloated and I hit him in the chest while mumbling 'shut it' to him. "Looks like we need a change of decoration." Dumbledore clapped his hands and the Slytherin banners became scarlet and gold. Looking around my eyes filled with tears. "Uh oh... She's crying. Did something bad happen?" Fred glanced around, his arm still around me. "No, you idiot. I'm happy. These are tears of joy... Gosh.. we actually won Fred. We actually won!" I threw my arms around Fred and he just looked at me confused before smiling and returning the hug.
I had been so caught up in everything that I forgot that the exam results were going to be handed out today. Luckily I received good grades for everything but George simply scoffed at me and said that I was being too modest and that I probably got the best in the class. It all seemed to happen in a second, really. Clothes were no longer in the wardrobes, trunks packed, Midnight in his cage. It almost felt surreal how quick the year had gone by. I heaved a sigh as I sat down in the compartment, a terrible feeling overwhelming me. "It's probably because you're hungry." Fred said, tossing a chocolate frog at me. I frowned at him and handed it back to him. "Wait... Give me that back. You might be right." I unwrapped it and quickly ate it, "My godfather loves chocolate..." I voiced aloud. "You have a godfather?!" George asked, "Yeah, I've told you this. Don't you ever listen to me when I tell you things?" I gave him an exasperated look and threw the wrapper at him. "Muggles have their own versions of these, you know." I told the twins. Lee was too busy playing with his spider and so I was reluctant to even look at him. "I'll get some for you after summer. " Their faces were brimming with happiness "Thanks Hopey!" They both said at the same time. "It's so creepy when you do that.. "
We soon arrived at platform nine and three quarters and I said goodbye to Lee quickly as he rushed over to his father and hugged the twins goodbye, clinging onto them a bit and demanding that they write to me. I rushed over to Harry, presuming that he was with mum and dad but he was alone. "Maybe they're late." He whispered as I sat down on my trunk, I put my arm around his shoulder and bought him closer. "They're never late.." I said back to him. "Maybe.. They got stuck in traffic?" I could hear the uncertainty in his voice and it reminded me of when we were little. How whenever he was scared he'd come up to me and hug me, telling me what happened. His voice made my hear twist in pain and I knew there was nothing I could do about it. "Yeah. You're probably right. They'll be here in a moment Har. Don't you worry." I brushed his hair out of his eyes with my other hand, it revealed a scar in the shape of lightening. "Har? What's this..?" My voice wavered slightly as my eyes drifted to his." "I-I don't quite know how it happened. Dumbledore has a theory that when the curse on you rebounded it went towards me but the power of it was weakened. It hurt like hell though. He reckons I didn't die because of that fact." I nodded, "Well, your nickname actually works better now, doesn't it?". "Hey... Is that..." I followed his gaze and saw three people I didn't think I was going to see. "Well... Looks like we're going to hell early." I grimaced; It was the Dursleys.
A/N I hate how my chapters are getting shorter and shorter. Well at least I have summer holidays in around a month (towards end of July). I think I'll be able to update more regularly. Plus I'm getting a phone at the start of July so I can write chapters on there too.
