Disclaimer: This is a continuation of 'A day in the Life of the Hospital Wing'. We don't own blah blah blah. We know the Pippi in this is a lot like Pippi Longstocking but it isn't so don't kill us. We're still in Harry + that lots 5th yr so Tal + her mates are 1st yrs. Tal joined Hogwarts in the Easter holidays, and the story continues on from that, so, everything that happens is only in the last term of the year.
Chapter 9
The last two days of term passed extremely quickly for Tal, and, very soon, she found herself packing her *very* small trunk and going downstairs for the end of year feast.
"It has been a very full year" Dumbledore started "For many reasons. Some you know about, and some, we feel, that it is best remained secret. Yet, all the same, the year is now over, and there a few presentations to award" the room erupted in applause, knowing that the House Cup was one of those 'presentations'.
"Firstly, we finally have a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who has lasted the whole school year and will be returning in September. Professor Jennae!" she stood up, rather embarrassed, and nodded to Dumbledore before sitting down. "And now," Dumbledore continued "the House Cup. Based on this House's performance in classes and after some rather large setbacks, as well as, of course, getting the most House points, the Cup goes to…Ravenclaw!" From the looks on many people's faces, this was not what they had been expecting, but they yelled and cheered all the same. Slytherin, as usual, remained mostly silent.
"I hope everyone has a good summer holiday" Dumbledore almost had to shout to be heard over the noise in the room "And that you all come back safe and well in September. Thank You!" The applause that followed this statement was so loud that all of the teachers just had to sit back and wait for it to die down, for there was now way they would be able to make the students be quiet now.

"Well, it has definitely been an interesting year" Ron remarked, as he sat in a compartment along with Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George and Tal, who had finally been able to make some new friends, even if they were all several years older than her. Everyone else had to agree with Ron's comment.
"That it has." Hermione agreed "A fight with You-Know-Who, OWL's and Madam Hooch being attacked all in one year. Speaking of which, did we ever find out who attacked Hooch?" Hermione added, after realising that she had not been at the school since soon after the Easter holidays
"No, we didn't" Ginny replied "I bet the Ravenclaws must be feeling pretty bad at the moment. But I'm sure that she will be back, safe and sound, in September" Most of the people in the compartment put this thought out of their minds, choosing to enjoy time with their friends one last time before going home.
Tal wasn't so sure. She had a feeling that they hadn't seen the end of all the bad happenings at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
And you are right to think that, little sis. The voice in Tal's head came back as loud as ever. The fun is only just beginning. You won't get rid of Dominica Matolov Ridler that easily.
