ANIMAGUS
By Weatherby

It was a nice afternoon at the Gryffindore tower. No-one had time enjoying it. it was the last day of the third term and everybody was busy packing their trunks. Everybody except Neville Longbottom who kept chasing after his toad Trevor. The seventh years were the most stressed from all the others.

"Hey Harry,Ron..D'you have planes after school's over?" Seamus Finnigen asked Harry and Ron.
"Nope" answered Ron. "S'ppose dad will let me work in his department if mom won't kill me for not getting the "best head-boy of the year" award. What about you Harry?"
"I dunno,I wanna find a new home. I don't think living with the Dursleys is what you'd call home..." Harry said sadly.
"well..."said Ron. "I'm sure mom will be more then happy if you'll live in the burrow. And you can have my room since I'll sleep under a tomb."
"Oh shut up! In the end you'll win the award and you'll sorry for what you've said but if you insist giving me your room - "
"OK,OK I got the point" Ron cried.
"Enough with it Ron. You've been telling us how your mom's gonna kill you all day... at the end you'll get the award so don't worry. You're the best head-boy of the year!" said Dean Thomas who was very annoyed from Ron's behavior.
The rest of the hour at the boys' dorm was fun. They all talked about their featured jobs and a bit about Quidditch and in 7:30 Neville arrived with Trevor.

Meanwhile at the girls' dorm, Hermione was suffering...really suffering.

"I think I'll find a job as a seer" Lavender Brown told Parvati Patil excitedly. "I got full marks in Divination and there's a rumor that Professor Trealawney is retiring so maybe Dumbledore will let me be the next Divination teacher."
"No way!" cried Parvati. "I just looked at my crystal ball and I saw myself as the new Divination teacher!"
"NO WAY!"
"YES WAY!"
"NO WAY!"
"YES WAY!"
that's how it went for a long time until Lavender and Parvati got reminded that the have trunks to pack. In her bed, Hermione was trying to read "Hogwarts, a history" but the two young seers were interupting her and she felt relieved when they stopped fighting. Hermione has already finished packing her trunk and she tried to relax by reading (again) and thinking about her favorite place in the whole world. What about the library? What about Hagrid? What about Professor Mcgonagall? Hermione's eyes filled with tears.

"Can I talk to you for a sec, Hermione?" Hermione looked up and saw her friend Nancy Shortass who by the way hasn't been mentioned in the HP books (and it has something to do with the fact that I invented her...). She was a round face and extremely forgetful girl.
Hermione mopped her tears quickly and said "sure".
They went to the common room which was now really deserted.
"What did you want to talk about?" Hermione asked her kindly.
"Neville"
"Excuse me?"
Neville, Neville Longbottom..well...I...er...kinda LIKE him..." and Nancy turned very pink.
"Wow that's great!" said Hermione with a huge grin, trying not to laugh.
"Yeah, but tomorrow is the last day I'll see him ...I guess.. and I was just wondering if you could do me a favor.."
"Sure. What?" Hermione asked her.
"Could you ask Harry or Ron to ask Neville if he like me?...but I don't want him to know that I like him too"
"Sure" said Hermione. She couldn't continue reading after she herd this so she decided to stay with Nancy and talk in the common room. In a quarter to eight students started leaving Gryffindore tower towards the great hall and in five minutes to eight. Harry, Ron, Neville, Dean and Seamus went out of the dorm and then went with
Hermione, Nancy, Lavender and Parvati towards the great hall. Harry was thinking to himself, Ron was saying to himself: "OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD" all the time, Hermione was thinking to herself and smiling, Dean and Seamus were looking and a bit blushing at Lavender and Parvati, Lavender and Parvati were looking and blushing furiously at Dean and Seamus, Neville was holding a scarlet ball in his hand and was trying to remember something he forgot. And Nancy was looking at Neville.

The group arrived to the great hall and sat, Ron finally stopped with his "OHMYGOD's". the sky were purple and looked like a dream but it was hard to think about it that way when from one side of you Ron knocked his hands on the table and from the other side of you Hermione as sobbing loudly.

The feast started and everybody ate cheerfully except Ron who looked like if he'll open his mouth he'll vomit. Dumbledore stood up and the hall turned quiet.
"This is the first year we decided to give awards for the "best head-boy and head-girl awards"." He said cheerfully but not more cheerful then Professor Mcgonagall who looked ever few seconds at Professor Trealawney.
"the contestants for the best head-girl are:
1. Hermione Granger - Gryffindore
2. Hannah Abbot - Hufflepuff
3. Padma Patil - Ravenclaw
4. Pansy Parkinson (don't ask) - Slytherin
And the winner is.....Padma Patil!"
The crowd applauded except for the Slytherins and all the Gryffindore looked at Hermione who applauded too.
"What?" she said. Ron listened but still hasn't opened his mouth.
"And now. The award for the best head-boy. And the contestants are:
1. Ron Weasley - Gryffindore
2. Ernie Macmillan - Hufflepuff
3. Terry Boot - Ravenclaw
4. Draco Malfoy - Slytherin

It was a tense moment at the Gryffindore table. Everybody had enough of Ron telling them about his mom and they hopes he'll win and then he'll finally shut up. Dumbledore spoke again:
:and the winner is....RON WEASLEY!"
