Chapter 23
The End
Harry woke up the next morning, finding a tray with his breakfast on the small desk beside his bed. He yawned and put his glasses on, finding Hermione and Ron still asleep. Trying not to wake them up with the clatter of a fork or knife, he quietly and carefully ate thinking about what happened yesterday. It felt like it was a dream, seeing his parents. It was a close call when Ron almost died though. Harry finished his breakfast and put his tray back on the desk, with a small pop, the tray disappeared. He looked out the window and he could see the bright blue sky, then it hit him! It was January and soon, he'll have to take his OWL. He knew Hermione would freak as soon as Harry told her that their OWL are coming up, soon, he'll be spending time in the library again. Ron stirred a little in his sleep, and finally, his eyes opened and quickly sat up. "Was that all a dream"? Ron yelled. "Shh, quiet, Hermione's still sleeping. And if your talking about what happened yesterday, no it wasn't a dream", Harry explained. Ron shrugged and looked at the desk beside him. "Wicket! Breakfast! I'm starving"! Ron exclaimed, while he started stuffing food in his mouth. Soon, Hermione woke up and ate her breakfast. Madam Pomfrey came in minutes later after Hermione finished her breakfast, telling them that Professor Dumbledore wanted to see them. "Why do you think Professor Dumbledore wants to see us"? Hermione asked, as the three made their way up to Professor Dumbledore's office, they were coming up with ideas of what Dumbledore might say when they get there. Before they knew it, they were standing outside looking up at the two statues guarding the entrance to Dumbledore's office. "Do you guys know the password"? Harry asked. "No, do you"? Hermione muttered. "I do, but we're not going to talk in there". Harry, Hermione, and Ron turned around startled, but relaxing seeing it was Dumbledore who was standing behind them. "Professor Dumbledore! You scared us"! Hermione exclaimed. "I apologize", Professor Dumbledore chuckled "So Professor Dumbledore, why did you want to see us"? Harry asked. "I just wanted to ask whether you guys are feeling better, and if you slept well last night. So do you and did you"? Professor Dumbledore asked. "Yeah we're feeling good, and we did sleep well last night. Ready to get back to class", Hermione chirped, and ignored Ron rolling his eyes when Hermione said the world "class". "That's good, well, everybody should be done breakfast now. You guys should hurry off to your classes", Professor Dumbledore said, before walking away.
It seemed like it was yesterday when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in the cave. But, it was the end of the school term now. Time passed quickly, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione wanted to stop time so they can spend more time at Hogwarts. For the pass few months, the three best friends enjoyed every minute with each other. From spending their free times talking and playing wizard chess (or in Hermione's case, studying), to having Snape yell at them every Potion's class. It seemed like Snape was yearning to take points off Gryffindor for a long time, for therefore, 50 points were taken off from Gryffindor every Potion's class. But Hermione, Ron, and Harry didn't care, they just laughed about it behind his back; and Hermione always got the 50 points back because of her great knowledge of knowing EVERYTHING, from the other teachers. There was even a special moment (to the three of them), because Draco's cousin, Ivy, was going to go to a different school. The three secretly celebrated this news. But Draco on the other hand scowled every time he saw them, but that was normal. As they sat in the Great Hall, laughing and talking enjoying the end of the term feast, they wished they could stay at Hogwarts longer this term. Ron, and Harry, to their surprise, got a handful of OWL's. While Hermione, got more then the whole school put together; Hermione was therefore going to be the school's Head girl next term. This year, being very unfortunate, Gryffindor didn't win House Cup, and since Quidditch was on this year, no one won the Quidditch cup. "This year, the House cup goes to.Ravenclaw"! Professor Dumbledore announced over the excited screaming coming from the girls, and the cheering and whooping from the boys. Harry, from the corner of his eye, saw Cho cheering at the top of her lungs with her friends. People from Ravenclaw were hugging each other, while the Great Hall filled with cheers, and clapping from Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, but the Slytherins were shooting angry glares at the Ravenclaws. Harry, Ron, and Hermione cheered along with the rest of the school (except the Slytherins). Sadly, the feast ended and everybody went up to their rooms to get their trunks to get ready to get back on the train, and go home. The excited and very happy Ravenclaws happily walked back to their common room, the Hufflepuffs who kept on congratulating the Ravenclaws, went to their common room happily, the Slytherins sulkily walked back to their common room, while the Gryffindors walked as slowly as they could to stall time so they wouldn't have to leave Hogwarts so early. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were among those people who were walking extremely slowly. "A'rry"! Harry, Ron and Hermione both turned around seeing Fleur walking towards them with a big smile on her face. "Guess what"? "Umm.you got a raise"? Ron shrugged. "No Zilly! I'm going to continue teaching Defence Against Dark Arts"! Fleur said excitedly. "Dumbledorr just told me I could". "That's excellent"! Hermione exclaimed. "You're the first teacher that actually going to stay and teach that class"! "Ms. Granger, Mr. Potter and Weasley, get a move on, go pack up your stuff"! Professor McGonagall instructed as she walked up to them. "Bye Professor Delacour", the three of them said. "Bye, see you next 'ear", Professor Delacour said, while smiling and waving before walking away. Harry, Ron, and Hermione quickly walked to their common room finding everybody rushing around stuffing their belongings into their trunks. "Where's my diary"? Lavender shrieked when Harry, Ron and Hermione walked into the common room. "IT HAS TO BE HERE SOMEWHERE"! Lavender pushed Neville and hurried up to her room. It didn't take too long for the three to finish packing, but to their surprise, time went by quickly again and they found themselves on the train. Hermione looked sadly out the window and watched as tree's and fields passed by. The atmosphere between Hermione and Ron were very glum, for they both wont be able to see each other till next term. "Guys, come on! You guys will probably invite each other to go to your houses right"? Harry spoke up, trying to cheer them up a bit. "I guess so", Hermione muttered and smiled a bit at Ron, which Ron returned. The lunch trolley came by and the three bought their lunch and started eating. After what Harry said, the atmosphere seemed to have cheered up a bit, for Ron and Hermione started talking. "You really think Professor Delacour is going to actually come back and teach"? Hermione asked. "Of course, didn't you hear what she said"? Ron said. "Yeah.well you never know what could happen during the summer", Hermione said as she opened a box of a Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, and passed it around. Ron and Harry starred at her. "I'm not saying it will.sheesh, look! Even though I'm psychic I don't know EVERYTHING and I can't tell the future that well yet, I read it in a book that my powers will grow stronger as I grow older", Hermione explained as she ate a yellow bean. "Mmm.corn flavoured". Ron and Harry laughed and ate some more beans commenting on the beans they ate. With a last game of Exploding Snap (Ron borrowed from Fred), the train came to a stop and people started getting off the train. The three friends glumly got all their stuff and left the train. "Well.see you guys next year", Harry said. "Yeah, and maybe you can come over during the summer again"! Ron exclaimed. "That would be cool! But what if you guys come over to my place this time? We always go to Ron's, and it'll be cool for you guys to meet my parents. I told them about you two, and they seem to want to get to you know you better"! Hermione gushed. "That'll be cool", Harry exclaimed. "Yeah"! Ron said. "Hurry up boy"! Uncle Vernon yelled, while standing meters away from Harry and his friends. "Aunt Petunia's waiting in the car, so HURRY UP"! "Well, as you can see, I got to go. Royal highness is waiting in the car", Harry muttered while rolling his eyes. Ron and Hermione both laughed and waved goodbye to Harry. Harry quickly ran up to Uncle Vernon who was already walking away from him. Harry stuffed his trunk at the back of Uncle Vernon's car and looked back at Hermione and Ron, who were still standing there. With a last wave of goodbye, Uncle Vernon drove away. This wasn't the ending to Harry's adventures, for there will be more exciting adventures ahead for, the boy who lived.
