He had done it! He had just gotten the scores that he needed to become an Auror. Professor McGonagall will be thrilled. But first he had to go and find Ron, Hermione and Neville to see what they got.
He ran down the stairs to the kitchen when he bumped into Hermione who screamed and tumbled backwards down the stairs.
"Holy Merlin! Are you alright" he said exasperated.
"You know what I don't get?" said Hermione feebly, getting back to her feet and rubbing her head, "Is how can you have a major accident and then someone just asks 'Are you alright?' when it's obvious you're not!"
"Well you must be alright if you can still make a speech" he said matter of factly. Hermione shot him a glare. Then he quickly added, "Just kidding, but are you seriously hurt?" he said a bit more gently.
"Yes, I'm fine, just a little startled. I wanted to see if you had gotten your results back yet," she answered still rubbing her head.
"What's all the noise?" said a familiar voice. Lupin had appeared at the top of the stairs. "Oh, I just fell down the stairs backwards coming to see Harry," she answered.
"Are you alright?" he said soothingly.
"See what I mean" she directed at Harry.
He couldn't help but laugh at Lupin's confused face. With some more reassurance from Hermione that she was alright he finally went back to his room.
"Alright back to my question" she said as though nothing had happened. "Did you get your O.W.L's back?"
"Yeah, how about you?" he answered
"Of coarse or I wouldn't have come to see if you had yours, now come down stairs Ron and Neville are waiting."
Not wanting to argue he followed and was a little curious to what everyone else had gotten. Laid out on the table were three sheets of paper, which he discovered to be the others. He quickly laid his down and then took a glance at everyone's…

He reread over everyone's carefully, then looked back at his. Hermione had scores perfect on all her tests, I guess she was wrong about getting ehwaz and ehiwaz confused. 'Stress' was the first word to cross his mind she had probably made herself think she had gotten wrong studying so hard for all those tests.
But he smiled to himself as realised something. He too had gotten perfect on his Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.L. 'Yes!'
Then he asked, "Hermione, did you perform a Patronus for the instructor?"
"Yes, I really wanted to see Umbridge's face when I did it. It was hilarious!" she answered starting to giggle. "She looked like she was about to strangle me but I didn't care, she deserved it!"
Harry grinned to himself. Umbridge had given him a pure look of hatred and astonishment when he had performed his Patronus. His smile was stopped when he finally looked at Ron. Ron's face was pale and he looked all glassy eyed.
"My mum is going to kill me!" he finally cried. "Fred and George did better than me! At least they got three O's each I only got two!" he said all this breathing very hard.
Hermione finally had to calm him down. "Ron, it's alright, you still got high scores. You got plenty of E's you will still get to take N.E.W.T's in the classes you wanted and you'll have no more Snape."
This cheered him up a little bit. "Yeah, I guess you're right, but then again you're always right. I'm mean, look at your scores…" he did a weak chuckle and swallowed hard.
Trying to change the subject he turned to Neville. "You did awesome in Herbology! The only bonus question I knew was about the effects of gillyweed but judging by my scores it didn't help much…"
Neville seemed to brighten up, "Thanks, Harry, I worked really hard on that. Professor Sprout will be so happy! I can't wait for school now and no more Snape for me either, Ron!" then he froze. "I better go tell Gran about this," You could here him yelling, "Gran, where are you? I got my O.W.L results I can become a herbologist!" all the way down the hall.
"I better go tell me parents…" said Hermione finally. "They really wanted to know what my scores were." and she went to find Tonks so that she should walk her down to the phone booth.
"Well, mate, better go and get this over with. Let me show her mine first so that way your's will blow her away. Alright?" Ron said. Harry who hadn't being paying attention finally snapped to his senses.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, let's go show you mum." He muttered.
They walked down the hall to the kitchen. "Hey mum! Look I got my O.W.L results. You want to have a look?" Ron mumbled across the room.
"What was that, dear? Didn't' quite hear you." Mrs. Weasley said, then she noticed the paper in his hands. "Oh, Ron, your O.W.L's! Well come here and let's see how you did."
Ron handed her the paper. "Hm… well at least you will still be able to take your N.E.W.T's in a few of the classes, and your Defence against the Dark Arts score is really high…" she took one look at Ron's face and then added quickly. "I am very proud of you, Ron. You've done so much how could I really worry about your scores?"
Relief flooded over his face and he hugged his mum. Then he caught sight of Harry and quickly broke the hug. "Mum you should really see Harry's."
"Oh, yes, well then, Harry, let's see what you got." She said smiling.
She read them then finally said, "This is amazing! You really did well, Harry!" and she took him into a rib-crushing hug.
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley…" but his face was starting to go purple from his circulation being cut off.
"Well it's almost time for breakfast. We'll just wait on Hermione and then we'll start." Just then the door opened and Hermione came into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mrs. Weasley, have you looked at everyone's results yet?" she said brightly, she always felt better after she had talked to her parents.
"Everyone's but you and Neville's" she said extending a hand to take Hermione's results. Hermione handed them over, she was trying very hard to act modest but it was hard when got record breaking results.
"Hermione…" Mrs. Weasley started in awe. "These results are amazing! They are perfect! I don't think anyone's done this before. We should ask Professor McGonagall when she comes for the meeting today."
Hermione looked overly delighted. "Really? Really? I can't believe that…"
Harry and Ron looked at each other and laughed before embracing Hermione in a huge hug that pulled her off the ground.
"Will you two, please get off of me?" she said playfully.
"No" they said together.
"Not until you tell us your secret." Said Ron
"What secret?" Hermione asked curiously.
"How someone so beautiful can be so smart?" said Ron smiling at Hermione.
Harry backed off and let Ron stand there with Hermione in his arms.
"Oh, Ron…" said Hermione finally.
Mrs. Weasley was going all teary eyed, she hadn't expected this to ever happen since that dreadful Rita Skeeter had written that Hermione liked Harry and Krum in the paper.
Then the moment was broken by Neville who burst through the door, screaming, "Harry, Harry! Professor Snape's here! And he wants to see you!"
