Later that night, Ron, in blue dress robes, Hermione, with her hair shiny and tied in an elegant knot and was wearing a pink flutter dress with a magenta bow around her waist and pink high-heels, James, who was in black dress robes, and Lily, who was wearing a green elastic in her hair to make a low ponytail hairdo, green high-heels, and a green dress to match her eyes, was finding seats.
"Here are some good seats" said Hermione.
"Hermione, it's been seventeen years" said Lily, "how will we know what Harry looks like?"
"When you see Harry, just think of Mr. Potter" explained Hermione, "but his eyes will be just like yours."
"Thanks" said Lily.
"And thanks for these new dress robes" said Ron, "my old ones weren't so good."
"Were they were really that bad, Ron?" asked James.
Hermione showed James a picture of Ron at the Yule Ball when he was wearing his old dress robes.
"Oh, that's bad" said Lily.
"You think?" asked Ron.
"Okay, here's the plan" said Hermione, "Harry's speech will be last. After his speech, you cheer for him, then you go outside so that we can introduce you properly."
"Got it" said James.
"Come on, Hermione" said Ron, "we'd better go."
They came to the teachers' table.
A few minutes later, McGonagall came to the pulpit and said "welcome to Hogwarts' first annual graduation ceremony. And now, our students are gonna read their speeches to you."
After all the speechs, McGonagall came to the pulpit.
"And now our last graduate, Harry James Potter" McGonagall said as everyone applauded and cheered.
Harry, who was wearing his bottle green dress robes, came to the pulpit and said "thank you. Um, I know I was suppose to make a speech about my favorite thing about Hogwarts. But I just couldn't choose. I really love everything about Hogwarts. When I first came to Hogwarts, I couldn't wait to go and didn't want to leave. Every time I'm at Hogwarts, I'm feel like I'm home. Everyone at Hogwarts has been very nice to me and I've made lots of friends here. In fact, if I didn't come to Hogwarts in the first place, I'd just be a normal kid, teenager and adult. I wouldn't be the wizard I am now. Sure, I've had some bad times here but I've had a lot of good times here too. I hope to come back to Hogwarts again one day. And when I do, I'll always remember the good times I had here."
Just then, James got up and clapped. Then Lily. Then everyone else. Harry looked surprised when he saw James and Lily. He took off his glasses, rubbed them with his robe and put them back on. He didn't see either James nor Lily.
"I must need new glasses" he said.
