Final Chapter!

Chapter 11:

Alison rushed to the hospital wing. She had a deep scratch on her face from what she had just done, but once she had found out that Harry was awake and had left his invisibility cloak by the trap door, she had to get it back and surprise him. When she entered the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey rushed over to her in panic.

"Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, "What have you been doing, Miss Lewis? Let me take a look at that!"

"No, thank-you, I'm fine, I just came here to see Harry!" said Alison, trying to get past the concerned nurse.

"Well, at least drink this!" said Madam Pomfrey, handing Alison a small cup and pouring a blue liquid into it.

Alison sighed and drank it in one gulp. Her face burned and the cut healed, leaving a faint scar.

"Thank-you," said Alison, "is it okay if I see Harry now?"

Madam Pomfrey stepped aside and Alison rushed over to Harry who was rifling through a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

"Harry!" she squealed as she leapt onto the hospital bed and hugged him tightly.

"It's nice to see you too, Ali!" said Harry, laughing.

"I have a surprise for you," said Alison, handing him the cloak.

"You got it back!" exclaimed Harry, "You didn't have to do that!"

Alison just smiled and sat next to him on the bed.

"So, are you gonna tell me what happened?" asked Alison, "I know what happened up to where you left Ron and Hermione on the giant chess board."

"Well, you were right about Snape," said Harry, "it was Quirrell. He had Voldemort living on the back of his head. The mirror was down there. I saw my reflection and it had the Stone in it's pocket. Then I looked in my pocket and there was the stone! Voldemort tried to get the stone but I wouldn't let him. Quirrell began to strangle me and I tried to push his hand away but when I did, Quirrell began to crumble. Dumbledore says that because my mother sacrificed herself for me, her love left behind a power which would stop Voldemort from being able to touch me."

"Wow! You were really brave, Harry," said Alison, giving him a sideways hug.

"Hermione told me that you, Bole and Malfoy helped out with Ron and sending the message to Dumbledore,"

"Well, Lucian and I did. Malfoy just tagged along really, though he did help Lucian save me."

"Say thanks from me if you see them," sighed Harry, "by the way, did Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw in the final?"

"No, sorry Harry," said Alison, "and because we beat Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, Slytherin won the quidditch cup."

"Congratulations," said Harry, though it was clear that he was disappointed.

"There's always next year, and there's still the house cup to go yet!" said Alison.

Alison sat at the Slytherin table in between Lucian and Marcus Flint during the feast. Malfoy sat opposite them but chose to ignore Alison, who didn't really care. Professor McGonagall tapped her glass, catching the attention of the entire hall. Professor Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.

"Another year gone," he said, "and now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding. And the points stand thus: in fourth place, Gryffindor, with 312 points."

Alison looked sadly over at Harry and clapped loudly for Gryffindor along with everyone else.

"Third place, Hufflepuff, with 352 points."

Everyone clapped again.

"In second place, Ravenclaw, with 426 points."

Everyone applauded though some Slytherins began to cheer, realising that they had come first.

"And in first place, with 472 points, Slytherin house!"

All the Slytherins cheered loudly. Lucian hugged Alison and Marcus high-fived everyone around him. Snape clapped with a bored expression. Malfoy pulled a face at Ron and Alison kicked him under the table. He glared at her. Alison smiled sweetly at him and winked at Ron, who chuckled as he watched Malfoy rub his leg in pain.

"Yes, yes, well done Slytherin, well done. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last-minute points to award," said Dumbledore, "To Miss Hermione Granger, for the cool use of intellect while others were in grave peril, sixty points."

Everyone applauded, Alison and Lucian being the only ones from the Slytherin table who joined in and cheered.

"Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best-played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen in these many years, sixty points."

Everyone cheered again.

"And third, to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house, seventy points."

Everyone applauded and some people whispered that Gryffindor was ahead of Slytherin.

"Next, to Miss Alison Lewis and Mr. Lucian Bole, for ignoring the division between houses and aiding friends in danger, fifteen points each."

The Slytherin table and a few others applauded. Slytherin and Gryffindor were tied again.

"Next, I would like to award points to a student who helped a housemate in peril. Five points to Draco Malfoy."

Alison smiled slightly at Malfoy and clapped along with the other Slytherins who were glad that they were ahead again. Malfoy nodded at Alison.

"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!"

The Gryffindors cheered loudly. All of the Slytherins, including Alison and Lucian were disappointed, though they both clapped loudly for the Gryffindors.

"Assuming that my calculations are correct I believe that a change of decoration is in order!"

Dumbledore clapped and the Slytherin banners hanging from the ceiling changed to Gryffindor banners.

"Gryffindor wins the house cup!"

The Gryffindors cheered even louder and threw their hats in the air as if they were graduating. The Slytherins stayed seated. Malfoy threw his hat on the table angrily.

"At least we won the quidditch cup!" said Alison, catching his attention.

He smiled slightly and sighed. Alison smiled at him and turned back to Lucian who hugged her again.

"Come on, Alison, we need to find a compartment!" shouted Lucian.

Alison had just finished saying goodbye to Hagrid, and Lucian was dragging her onto the train. They found a compartment and sat down, sighing in relief. The train began to move and their compartment door slid open. Harry, Ron and Hermione stood in the doorway.

"You don't mind if we sit with you, do you?" asked Harry, mainly directing the question at Lucian.

Lucian smiled at them, "Of course we don't mind!"

Lucian squashed closer to Alison, who was sitting next to the window, in order to make more space. Harry sat next to Lucian whilst Ron and Hermione sat opposite them.

"You're all going to write, aren't you?" asked Alison.

"Definitely!" exclaimed Hermione, "We should all meet up and get our school supplies together later in the summer!"

"Hermione and Harry might stay with us later in the holidays, do you want to come, Alison?" asked Ron.

"I'd love to, Ron, but Lucian has invited me to stay with him. That way I can practice my quidditch skills!"

Ron nodded and the five of them began to talk about their exciting year at Hogwarts. Alison peered out the window and watched as the castle disappeared from sight.

'I can't wait for next year' she thought and turned back to the others.

I actually had to work out how the points would work for the house cup! The first chapter for the Chamber of Secrets will be out very soon. Thanks for reading. Please review.
