Later, The Golden Gang woke up in the hospital wing early next morning. Just in time for Dumbledore to arrive with Jessica and Cedric.

"Morning everyone." Cedric said to him. "And Antonio, I want to wish you Happy Birthday."

"Oh right. Today's May the 18th." Said Antonio. "I almost forgot my birthday was today with all the stuff going on with the Philosophers Stone."

"Yes indeed. Happy Birthday Antonio." Said Dumbledore. "Your admirers were kind enough to leave you some presents."

"Antonio has admirers?" Harry asked.

"All five of you do." Said Jessica. "Everything that happened last night between you five and Professor Quirrell is a secret."

"Eventily, the whole school knows and everyone now forgives you from not believing everything that Malfoy did." Said Cedric.

"That's great." Said Hermione. "But what about the stone?"

"The stone has been destroyed Ms. Granger." Dumbledore answered.

"But Flamel." Said Susan.

"With the stone gone, that means he'll die." Said Ron. "Won't he?"

"Nicholas and I agreed that it was best. He has enough elixir to last him until about, let's say, 2019." Dumbledore said again. "But yes Mr. Weasley. He will die."

"And how did I get that stone?" Antonio asked.

"Well, someone who wanted to find the stone but not use its power would be able to get it. That was another one of my ideas."

"With the stone gone, does that mean Voldemort will never come back?" Susan asked.

"He has ways of coming back Ms. Bones." Dumbledore pointed out.

"Professor." Said Harry. "When Quirrell tried to kill us, I revealed my love to Hermione witch saved our lives. Did my mothers love protect me from Voldemort that night?"

"That is true Harry." Dumbledore answered. "And it's true that I was the one who sent you the Invisibility Cloak. However, I did not expect your love with Ms. Granger to help you against Professor Quirrell. It is extrodnary as Antonio's magic is."

"My magic is powerful?" He asked.

"Yes it is. You and Harry were destent to meet to unlock your powerful magic. But I can't explain everything yet."

"One more thing Professor." Antonio said again. "Why did you leave Harry with the Dersleys?"

"I didn't want to at first. I wanted to have him placed with who his parents wanted him to be with. You see Harry, where the Potters go, so do the Longbottoms. I wanted you to be rased be Neville's grandmother sense Neville is your god brother. But when Cornelius Fudge became the minister of magic, he ordered me to have you placed with the Dersleys because of your mothers blood line. And I would lot everything I achieved if I refused. So I'm sorry there's nothing I can do."

"It's alright. It wasn't your fault." Said Harry.

"Also Harry. When Voldemort tried to kill you. He left not only your scar but another mark that can not be seen witch lies within you."

"Wow." Harry whispered.

"Ah. Bertie-Bots Every Flavor Beans." Dumbledore said as he picked a box on the stool in front of Ron's bed. "I lost my liking for them when I came upon a vomit flavor bean once. But a simple toast wouldn't hurt." However, when he tried one of them, "Alas. Earwax."

"Sorry." Ron said to him.

Later, the gang was let out of the hospital wing and went to attend the End of Year Feast. Neville was happy to hear that Harry knows about him being his god brother. But also sad to hear that the minister for magic refuses him to leave the Dersleys. But at least Harry knows about the Potters and Longbottoms sticking together. Seamus was happy and shocked to know how the gang managed to find the Philosophers Stone and kept it out of the hands of You Know Who. Even Percy forgived them for not believing that Malfoy was the reason Hufflepuff lost a lot of its points before wishing Antonio happy birthday.

"Your attention please!" Dumbledore said. "And so. We've reached the end of another year. And now it is time to show the final points for the House Cup. In 4th place, Hufflepuff with 314 points."

At first, there was low clapping.

"In 3rd, Gryffindor with 355 points."

Again, low clapping.

"In 2nd, Ravenclaw with 460 points."

Still, low clapping.

"And in 1st, Slytherin with 474 points."

There was loud cheering at the Slytherin table now. Malfoy was glad his plain worked.

"Yes. Well done Slytherin. However, after resent events, I have some last minute points to give. To Ms. Hermione Granger for best use of knowledge when others are in great danger. 50 points."

Once again, low clapping.

"To Ronald Weasley for the best played game of chess Hogwarts has seen, 50 more points."

This time, the clapping increased.

"To Mr. Harry Potter for most pure heart and outstanding courage. 60 points."

Now the clapping was louder.

"We tied in Slytherin." Antonio whispered to himself.

"To Neville Longbottom and Susan Bones. 10 points each for standing up to your friends to protect others. And last but not least. For strait O's, quick thinking, amazing magic, and because today is his birthday. 100 points to Antonio Crosthwaite."

"WHAT?!" Malfoy shouted.

"I believe a change of display is in order." Dumbledore said again as he changed the display certain's from Slytherin to Hufflepuff. "Hufflepuff wins the House Cup."

Almost all the students cheered. For the first time in forever, Hufflepuff had won the House Cup. But all the Slytherins just grunted in anger that Malfoy's plain has backfired.

It was the best moment in Harry's life besides winning in Quidditch and Christams. It was also the best birthday Antonio has ever had. Nether one of them were ever gonna forget this day.

The next morning, it was time to go home. When the Hogwarts Express arrived, all the students were about to get on board. Hagrid came to see Harry off. But The Golden Gang had one last thing to say before leaving.

"I thought you were gonna leave without saying goodbye." Hagrid said to them. "Look. I'm sorry I didn't believe you."

"No. You were right. It wasn't Snape." Said Antonio.

"Still, I'm sorry I didn't believe you. Before you go Harry, I want you to have this." Hagrid said as he handed Harry a photo album.

"Thanks Hagrid." Harry said to him.

"And Harry." Hagrid said again. "If that cousin of yours thetans you, say you'll give him ears to go with that tail of his."

"But Hagrid. We're not aloud to use magic away from school." Harry said to him.

"I know. But the Dersley's don't. You might have a fun summer doing that."

"All aboard!" The conductor shouted.

"Goodbye Hagrid." The five said before taking off.

"Is it strange going home Harry?" Antonio asked.

"I'm not going home." Harry answered.

And so, the gang boarded the train as at took off. Antonio had an eventful first year here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and made some new friends. But all that is in him is, what will happen next year? But he'll know soon enough."

And so, book 1 has come to a conclusion. Thank you for reading and I'll see you in book 2.
