A/N: I'm back!!!!!!!
I know that this post and the last have been few and far between and I'm sorry. My muse abandoned me for several months, and I've finally started writing this one again. (Keep in mind that while I only have 19 or 20 stories archived on ff.net, I am currently working on somewhere between 40 and 50 stories, all of which have their muse abandon me at some point or another during creation.)
Short post, then next chapter is longer, and should be out in the next week sometime.
Part 14. Celebrations.
With the crowd of people, including Tonks, Remus, Moody, Professor Said, Hagrid, and Professor McGonagall, Harry passed through the portrait hole, and into the Gryffindor Common Room, which was in an uproar.
Red and gold banners hung from the ceiling, along with all of the Quidditch banners the Sixth Year group had made for Harry and the other Quidditch players. Food and drink covered the tables and music by that Weird Sisters played loudly on a wizard wireless.
"Harry!" Hermione squealed, bounding over and hugging him. Harry hugged her, then Ron. Neville, however threw his arms around Harry, lifting him off the floor. "Look Harry! Look!" He exclaimed, thrusting a sheet of parchment at him.
Harry unfolded it and began to read aloud. "Neville Franklin Longbottom of Hogwarts..." He skipped down the page. "Herbology - Outstanding. Defense Against the Dark Arts, Outstanding. Care of Magical Creatures - Exceed Expectations. Neville, this is great!" Harry exclaimed.
"Gran will be so pleased!"
"What about you Harry?" Ron asked, passing over his own results.
"Did all right." Harry grinned, passing Ron and Hermione his own results.
"Four Outstandings!" Hermione exclaimed.
"And you only got 'Poor,' in Divination." Ron added.
"You both did really well too!" Harry told them taking a few carefree steps onto the dance floor.
"It's nice to see him looking so happy for a change isn't it." Professor McGonagall said quietly to Moody, Hagrid and Remus.
"I'm just glad he did so well." Remus smiled, watching as Harry spun Hermione around, at the same time pushing her towards Ron.
"I think he might have taken it very hard if he didn't go as well as he did." Professor Said's gentle voice announced her presence to the others. "I think he might have given up all together. We have to be careful with him now."
"I dunno who's 'aving a better time, Harry, or Tonks." Hagrid smiled, gesturing to Tonks who was dancing so exuberantly that people were moving out of the way to avoid serious bodily harm.
