Chapter26
The Seventh Year Ball
Julia
The lights were spinning, and the music was playing. It was a Seventh Year Ball that I hoped to have one day; all seventh years dreamed of it. Spinning in Ron's arms, I felt so secure. Even after that horrible ordeal that he had had with those old Death Eaters, he was still the same old Ron.
Next to us were Harry and Ginny, also twirling merrily, and next to them were Hermione and Malfoy. I still think that that is the oddest couple I've ever heard of, but if that's what floats their boat.
I was getting little hungry and tired from dancing, so I looked up at Ron and said, "I am getting a little hungry and tired from dancing, do you want to go sit down and eat? We can ask the others if they want to too."
"Sounds good." he replied letting go of me and walking off to get the others. Soon we were all laughing at Malfoy's jokes. He really is funny, maybe I should start calling him Draco (A/N:because its way to hard to type Malfoy), it is his name, right? Our conversation turned from laughing at jokes to talking about the events that had happened previously with the Death Eaters.
"I still can't believe that Wormtail got away again." Ginny was saying in an astonished voice. I still don't know why They call him Wormtail; I have not heard the entire story. All I know is he is a Death Eater that in a way murdered Harry's parents.
This was turning out to be a great night. When I went to the Yule Ball with Justin Flinch-Fletchly, it was very hot and stuffy then, now it was wonderful for only Seventh Years and their dates were allowed. I felt so close to Ron with his arm draped over my shoulders. Ginny was in Harry's lap. Out of the six of us they were obviously the most serious. Ginny really thinks she and Harry will be married someday. Although I really like Ron, we are no where near wedding plans. Draco and Hermione had only started dating one week ago so my guess is that they are not that serious yet. Although they do look rather snuggly sitting very close together so their shoulders are touching and I can tell they are holding hands underneath the table.
The music was blasting. I was surrounded by all my friends. Hannah Abbot and Bob Bobson were dancing. Goyle was flirting with Pansy Parkinson. Crabbe was sneaking out toward the kitchen. Neville had just fallen on the floor and all the teachers were floating him out.
Just then my gaze turned to the stage. The Weird Sisters were playing, but I was not looking at them. There was a rat with a silver claw on the stage. How Odd!
Chapter 27
Oh, No
Hermione
Oh, no! Wormtail was on the stage. Quickly I turned to Draco and whispered in his ear, "Wormtail, on the stage!" The only answer was, "Oh, no!" After that I turned to Ron, who was next to me and said the same to him. "Oh, no!" was his reply. How ever Julia's was a bit different. "I know! This castle is rat infested!" was what she said.
As Ginny quickly explained about Wormtail, (leading to an "Oh, no!" from Julia) Harry, Ron, Draco and I got out our wands, but not soon enough. I watched terrified as the small defenseless rat transformed.
Chapter 28
I Never Really Liked Him
Draco
One second there is a rat on the stage, the next it's a short fat bald guy instead.
Every eye in room was on Wormtail. Only the six of us who knew the story knew how to react. Wormtail looked around for a moment the screamed "FLOOR." All of a sudden we all fell. We were scattered on the hard floor as Wormtail's head loomed over us. He got of the stage and began to walk around. He then screamed "VOICE!" I was not sure what that did until I looked over at Julia, whose mouth was open in a silent scream.
Duh! He took away our voices.
"You all thought that I was a minion, didn't you?" Wormtail looked at me when he said this, then he glanced at Harry and continued. "Well, you were wrong!" Then Wormtail went into his whole life story. You know, the usual. He wasn't loved enough as a child and all that crap.
"I fooled you all," he rattled on. "You all thought I was loyal to the Dark Lord. But I wasn't! I never really liked him. He was too sacrificial, ya know? I really only wanted to shine on my own. And now that Harry Potter and his gang have made that possible, by getting Lucius and all captured, I will. You know, I never really liked Lucius Malfoy either. He was to stuck up. 'Oh, look at me! I'm the right hand man! Lalalala!' Well, now that he's gone, my first step will be to kill every seventh year from this school. Who should I start with? Someone smart would be good. Harry Potter is smart but he killed Voldemort and as I said I never really liked him. So, how about his friend, Ivory? She is a mudblood after all." He raised his wand and pointed it at her.
"TOUCH HER AND DIE!" I screamed. This sounded familiar.
"Draco?" he asked confused, "She is just a mudblood, why do you care?"
"She is more then a mudblood," I answered, "She is nice, dependable, beautiful, funny, caring, trustworthy, smart, brave, hardworking, clever, loyal," I could have gone on forever but I figured I should stop eventually. "Besides," I finished, "If you hurt her, in any way, shape or form, I will kill you."
"Not if you are already dead," he answered, raising his wand and pointing it at me.
"DRACO!" Hermione screamed terrified trying to move and protect me.
Suddenly, the door swung open and in walked Crabbe. In his hands he held a huge plate of-
"Do ya want some eggs?" he asked in a loud voice. "I got lots." Suddenly, I was struck with an idea. I raised my hand and Crabbe walked over. Snatching the plate, I threw a handful of eggs at Wormtail. The glob landed on his silver hand. Somehow, we were now all able to stand and speak again. Harry pulled out his wand.
"This is for Sirius!
"I never really liked Sirius-" Wormtail started but Harry interrupted him.
"STUPIFY!" Wormtail fell to the ground.
"Someone get a teacher!" ordered Hermione. Ernie MacMillan turned around and ran to do just that. Harry, Draco, and I, wands out, formed a triangle around the fallen man. There we sat until Ernie returned with everyone, from Dumbledore to Filch.
Chapter 29
Epilogue
No one
That was the end of Wormtail. He was sent to Azkaban for life along with Malfoy and Nott. He did testify in court, giving a long speech about Death Eaters and his life. He didn't like many things. "You know, I never really liked cheese," he would say. We would stare and he went on to eggs. He never eggs, but that's understandable.
Moving on, Sirius was declared innocent and made a home for himself in London as an Auror.
Hermione was named Valedictorian; (Draco was 10 galleons richer.) Crabbe got a Special Services to School award for the whole eggs thing. Hufflepuff won the House Cup, and Ravenclaw got the Quidditch cup. And Mrs. Norris is having kittens!
After Ginny graduated, Harry and Ginny were married, happily. Harry began his Auror training while being the seeker for the Chudley Cannons. Ginny became a reporter for the Daily Prophet.
Ron and Julia continued to date seriously. Ron began Auror training as well as working at the twins joke shop. Yes, they did open it up, finally. Julia was Ginny's partner as a reporter.
Hermione is also doing Auror training, while being the Hogwarts school transfiguration teacher. (Professor McGonagall became Headmistress. Sadly, Dumbledore died of old age.) She and Draco are also dating very seriously. Draco is working for the Information of Dark Arts, in the ministry.
I'm sure you guessed it but the last line off this story is, they all lived happily ever after. (Except Dumbledore. He lived happily, but not ever after)
A/N: That's it. The story is over. Now you can review. You could also dance, but we'd prefer reviews. You could dance while you review, but that would be kinda pointless, but what's the point in having a point. Isn't it much more pointful to have no points at all rather then being pointless while having a point. Did you know that we actually think like this?
