Harry Weasley

Chapter Twenty: Hospital Wing and Leaving Feast

Harry woke up to find himself in the hospital wing again. He groaned out and reached out to get his glasses to see who was there with him. When he put them on, he found that he was alone in the ward, but not for long. The headmaster walked in shortly after he woke up and started munching on some of the sweets that were there at the end of his bed.

"Oh I'm so glad that your awake Harry. I need to speak to you." The twinkle that is usually in his eyes wasn't there at the time, in fact he looked a bit mad. "Why did you do what we had told you that wasn't necessary?"

"I'm sorry Professor, but we had dreams about it, and we knew that someone was after the stone. The dreams showed us going after it, and getting the stone back. I won't say that I wouldn't do it again if I was in a similar situation. Don't be mad at my friends, I take the full brunt of any punishment that is felt necessary, they only did it to help me out. Am I to be expelled?" Harry was scared, but ready to go on with his life if he is expelled.

"No Harry, you nor your friends are going to be punished for this. We were wrong in what we said, and we are grateful that you and your friends went after it. Now is there anything else that you wanted to know?"

"Yes professor, what happened to the sorcerer stone? What happened to Quirrell? How did I get back here?"

"I will answer those questions in the order that they were asked Harry. The stone was destroyed when Professor Quirrell tried to take it away from you. He was killed when Voldemort was expelled from his body and sent into oblivion again. How you got here, I was responsible for that. You see Ms. Granger and your brother got out of the area and got a hold of me, I immediately went down to try to help you. When I got down there, you were passed out, the stone was no longer there, and Professor Quirrell was dead."

"What about Nicholas Flammel, how will he survive without it?"

"Well it seems that my friend and I had a long discussion and he decided that he had lived a long enough life. Don't worry, he has enough of the elixir to put his estate together, and make plans for the future. He and his wife will be taking a trip for the last of their lives and have some fun. Now when you get out of here, you will find that even tho no one was to know about what happened, the whole school already knows about what happened. That is where all these gifts came from. Now I will let you get dressed and join your classmates in the great hall for the leaving feast." On his way out, the headmaster picked up one of the Bernie Botts Ever Flavor Beans. "I had the most inevitable task of finding a tripe flavored one once. I think that a toffee would be alright to have." He popped it into his mouth and grimaced. "I guess I was wrong, this was puke, oh well. See you downstairs Harry." When he left the Headmaster had his normal twinkle in his eyes when he smiled at Harry.

Harry was checked over by the medi-which and given a clean bill of health. He quickly got dressed and went down to meet his friends. He came down and saw Ron Draco and Hermoine coming down the stairs and he greeted them. They made their way into the Great Hall for the leaving feast. They split ways when they entered the hall which was decorated in the colors of the Slytherin house.

Dumbledore stood up to address the students before the feast was started. "Welcome to the end of the year feast. It seems that we need to award the house cup at this time. With 310 points we have the Gryffindor house. With 340 points we have the Hufflepuff House. With 370 points we have the Ravenclaws. And with the most points we have 450 points for the Slytherins." The house tables roared, but none so loudly as the Slytherins. "That is fine all, congratulations to the Slytherins, but we have some extra points to add that have come to my attention. For Ms. Hermoine Granger 60 points for a great sense of Potions and riddles. For Mr. Ronald Weasley 60 points for a terrific game of Chess. For Mr. Neville Longbottom 5 points for showing that sometimes it takes standing up to your friends more than to go with them. To Mr. Draco Malfoy, 60 points for his help in showing the others who the spy was."

"That makes up only 75 points behind Slytherin, I wonder if he is going to acknowledge Harry's assistance in this, he did do the most of all of us. He did defeat Quirrel and Voldemort again." Hermoine was excited and chattering wondering what was going to happen.

"Finally, I give Mr. Harry Weasley, 80 points for saving this school yet another time, and keeping he-who-must-not-be-named from coming back again. Now if my math is correct, I believe that there is a change of banners due. Congratulations Gryffindor on winning the House Cup."

The rest of the feast was going quite well and everyone was congratulating the Gryffindors and Draco on what they had done to help the school. They all went to bed that night full and ready to go home tomorrow. They all had happy dreams, and ready to get ready for a new summer then a new year.
