The Portkey brought them back to Hogwarts, and the rest of the year breezed
by, the Quidditich Finale was played and won by Gryfindors, 280-100, Harry,
as perhaps usual caught the Snitch. The Nastily Exhausting Wizarding
tests, or N.E.W.T's were taken, over the course of the last week of April,
and the majority of May, yes long drawn out multi-testing exams, only took
three weeks, leaving them three weeks of school after the tests. It's now
a week before the end of there years at Hogwarts.
~Breakfast in the Great Hall~ a multitude of Owls swarm down on the Seventh Years, there N.E.W.T results are in.
Harry, Hermione, Ron and the rest of the seventh year Gryfindors sit there and just stare at the official envelopes, wondering if this will be there dooms day or a day of joy, and who will be the brave soul to open their envelope first.
"So, which one of you is going to open your envelope first?" Colin Creevy asked.
"Why don't you open yours, Hermione?" Asked Ginny, "You have nothing to worry about."
Ron dropped his head to the table.
Harry sat in a trance staring at his envelope's seal.
"Okay," Hermione answered,"Here Harry, if you open mine, I'll open yours," Ron started to bang his head on the table.
"Alright," Ron stopped, and lifted his head to watch, as did all of the other Gryfindors, all staring as the Head Girl and Boy opened each others envelopes, and pulled out the enclosed papers.
Both gasped. "Hermione, you've achieved the impossible, perfect score all the way down."
Her jaw dropped, "All O's and E's, Harry."
"You're joking, even in Potions?" He asked shocked, the rest of the table resumed there daily business.
"An Outstanding."
"Not a chance!" She handed him his scores, as he handed back hers.
"Unbelievable!"
"Ron, are you okay?" asked Ginny as her brother sat in a trance staring at his scores.
"How'd you do?" Harry asked.
"Alright."
"How'd you do, Ron?" Hermione asked, the previous question, once more.
"One outstanding, three exceeds expectations, two acceptable."
"What'd you get the O in?"
He muttered something incomprehensible. "What was that, Ron?"
"Divination."
"Are you serious?"
"He is not Sirius!" Harry burst out.
"Harry, calm down, it'll be okay, we know who he is, and he is S-E-R-I-O-U- S, look!"
"How in the world, Ron?"
"I don't know, this is horrible!" And an Owl swooped in dropping an orange letter to Ron.
"What's this?" He asked.
"Open, let's find out," Harry urged.
Ron opened the envelope, and read the enclosed letter, "Oh MERLIN! This is the best day of my life!"
"Why? What is it, Ron?"
"Chudley, they want me! ME!"
"They want you for what, Ron?"
"Reserve Keeper!"
"Let me see that," Ginny demanded. She read it, "Bloody Hell, they do want him!"
Ron sat in a trance, staring at his letter; N.E.W.T's lying forgotten beside to him.
"RON," they called loudly.
"RROOONNN," half the table now, called.
"Wha... What?"
"Aren't you going to respond? Let them know you accept there offer or whatever?"
"Yes, they want ME to come out to the compound after graduation, negotiate terms, and such!"
"That's bloody fantastic, you better write home to Mum and Dad as well."
"I will, I will!" And off he went.
"Think he'll remember he still has class?" Harry asked Hermione.
"I doubt it, but I doubt any teachers will mind either."
"Hermione?"
"What?"
"Did you really just say that? Hermione Granger shrugging off class!"
"Yes Harry, indeed I did, we're out of here next week, we're gone, and where will we be? All of us, where will we all be?" Asking in general.
"I'm going to the Diagon University of Magic-London," Harry, Neville, Dean, Seamus, Lavender and Parvati all replied.
"So am I! I thought you were going to be an Auror, Harry?"
"I was, till my task was completed."
"You're not going pro?" Asked someone else.
"No."
"Where are you guys living?" Dean asked in general.
"Lav and I are renting a flat close to campus," Parvati answered.
"I don't know," Neville answered.
"Why don't you move in with us, Neville?" Harry asked. "I've already arranged for an apartment for Ron, Hermione and I, why don't you move in as well?"
"Could I really?"
"Any problems, Hermione?"
"None that I can see, we can split the eight hundred pounds a month four ways then."
"Alright then, the four of us will go sign that lease after graduation then."
"What are you going to study, Neville?"
"Herbology."
"So, we've got a Herbology major, a quidditich player, and Harry, what are you going to study?"
"Undecided."
"So am I."
