A.N: This is the last chapter, not counting the epilogue. Please r&r. I just realized that I never thanked J.K. Rowling. So here it goes, All characters in this story belong to J.K. Rowling. I own nothing except the glow spell Ron used. And all of the names of the Fairies belong to the Best Author In The World, Lloyd Alexander.
Chapter 14
It was the Leaving Feast, and it was just as sad and silent as it was in their fourth year. The whole of the Gryffindor house was silent. Slytherin table was not as silent and sober, yet still unusually quiet. They had only noticed the absence of Malfoy last night.
Dumbledore stood up to speak. "The end of another year has come," he said, "I must ask you to pay tribute to five very special people. We do not know whether they live or are dead. These five students were all top of their classes, and were liked by all of their peers. I would like you to raise your glasses to," Dumbledore was cut off. The door opened. And standing in front of the school were Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Lavender.
The school turned around and there was a sharp intake of breath. Then Ginny stood up and ran. She went to the front of the room yelling, "Ron! You're alive! You're all alive!" She embraced her brother, and then the other three.
That's when Dumbledore noticed that there was one person missing. "Excuse, but where is Mr. Malfoy?" he said.
Harry came up and approached the High Table, "Malfoy is dead. He was killed by Voldemort after setting Ron free." Harry said. At the Slytherin table, Pansy Parkinson gasped, then fainted dead away.
Dumbledore turned to the rest of the school and said, "I would like everyone to go back to their dormitory. The feast will be tomorrow morning. Goodnight" He then turned to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Lavender, "Would you please come to my office?"
They walked to the Stone Gargoyle. Dumbledore told it the password ("Blood Lollypop"). Dumbledore sat down at his desk, and made four more chairs appear. He asked them what had happened.
Harry told him everything he knew. Hermione and Lavender put in some information whenever they could. Piece by piece, the story started to come together for Dumbledore. When Lavender came to the part about Hermione's scar, Dumbledore smiled, "Yes, I knew about the soul mate connection between them. That is why I was so worried when Hermione had gone missing too."
"But why didn't you tell us? Hermione said, "Then we could've beaten Voldemort a long time ago!"
"I couldn't tell you because up until now, you have not been fully educated an defense. It would have been abuse to send you both there at age eleven" Dumbledore said, "It think you should all go to the hospital wing for a good rest. Tomorrow, we will have a celebratory feast. We are now free. Voldemort is dead"
They had the feast the next day, they had the feast. It was the best feast ever, because of their quest, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Lavender were all given two hundred points each. And because of Malfoy's bravery, Slytherin was given three hundred points. That night they had their seventh year graduation. They were now really wizards.
They were wizards in a world with no threat to it. No Tyrant ruling and killing. Wizards in a world with no Voldemort.
