Dipper eventually woke up, but he felt that he was too weak to open his eyes, let alone move. Although he couldn't see anything, he could hear Pacifica crying overtop of him. "IT'S ALL MY FAULT, YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT ME TO DIE!" "I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE LYING IN THAT HOSPITAL BED!" "I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU A WHOLE LOT SOONER, I HAD SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES!" "I LOVE YOY DIPPER, EVER SINCE I FIRST SET MY EYES ON YOU IN DIAGON ALLEY!" "I NEVER SAID ANYTHING UNTIL NOW, BECAUSE I WAS WORRIED YOU WOULDN'T RETURN MY FEELINGS, AND WANT TO BE JUST FRIENDS!" "I KNEW THAT MY FAMILY WOULD NEVER APPROVE OF YOU, I CAN'T TELL YOU THE THINGS THEY WOULD DO TO ME IF THEY FOUND OUT I HAD FEELINGS FOR YOU!" "IF I HAD TOLD YOU SOONER, THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE IN THIS POSITION!" "PLEASE DON'T DIE, PLEASE DON'T DIE!" Dipper wanted to tell her that he returned her feelings, but he felt he was too weak.
He finally began moving again, when he heard someone panicking. He looked beside him, and saw Harry in another bed. Dumbledore was standing right before the both of them. "Professor, the stone, you have to stop Quirrell" said Harry. Dipper had a bit of trouble breathing, but was barely able to talk. "What does Professor Quirrell have to do with the stone?" "It wasn't Snape going after the stone, it was Quirrell the whole time" said Harry. "But Snape tried to kill you during the quidditch match that day" said Dipper. "No Dipper, Quirrel was the one jinxing my broom" said Harry. "Snape was muttering a counter curse to save me." "It was Quirrel who let the troll in on Halloween, it was a diversion so he could sneak over to the third floor corridor." "Don't even get me started on the fact that Voldemort was low on power, and he was possessing Quirrell." "It was Quirrell who was drinking the unicorn blood." "You mean to tell me that Snape was actually being nice, to a Gryffindor?" asked Dipper. "You are to refer to him as Professor Snape, even if he is biased toward's his own house" said Dumbledore. "He wanted to be the referee in your match against Hufflepuff, as he wanted to make sure Professor Quirrel wouldn't try anything." "Tell me this Mason, if you had known the reason why he was the referee, would you still have attacked him?" "I guess not, but if you think this means i'll apologize to him, i'll only do it if he apologizes to every student he bullied" said Dipper. "You'll come to your senses eventually, but do keep this in mind, he did save Harry's life" said Dumbledore. "Forget about Professor Snape, the stone is in danger" said Harry. "Not to worry Harry, I managed to stop Quirrell, just in time before he finished you off" said Dumbledore. "But I must say, you did a good job holding him off until I got there." "Well where is the stone now?" asked Dipper. "Nicolas and I had a little talk, and agreed that to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, the stone should be destroyed" said Dumbledore. "But Flamel and his wife will die" said Dipper. "They have enough elixir to set their affairs in order, but yes, they will die" said Dumbledore. "To them, death is like going to sleep, after a long exhausting day." "Well now with the stone gone, that means you know who can't come back" said Dipper. "Please, refer to him by name" said Dumbledore. "He's hiding somewhere, still trying to regain his power." "If Professor Snape hated me, and my dad, why would he try to save me?" asked Harry. "Your father and Professor Snape did despise each other during their school days, but then your father saved his life" said Dumbledore. "He felt as though he had to save his rivals son, in order to be even with him." "Who sent me the invisibility cloak?" asked Harry. "Your father left it in my possession" said Dumbledore. "When he was a student, he would use it to sneak out of bed and steal food from the kitchen." "How did the stone end up in my pocket?" asked Harry. "Only the person who wanted to find the stone, find it, but not use it, would be able to get it" said Dumbledore. "Why wasn't Quirrell able to touch me? ask Harry. "When your mother sacrificed herself to protect you from Voldemort, she gave you the mark of love" said Dumbledore. "Those who love us, will always be here to protect us." "Enough questions, you should get started on some sweets your friends got you." Dumbledore tasted one of Bertie Bott's beans, and gagged. "Alas, earwax."
After Dumbledore left the room, Madame Pomfrey was reluctant to let Ron, Hermione, and Mabel in, until they saw they were with the head girl. Harry and Dipper told them everything they found out. "And to think, we actually thought Professor Quirrell was our friend" said Mabel. "Hang on, where's Pacifica?" asked Harry. "She's really shaken up about the incident that just took place, she's been bawling her eyes out in the common room" said Hermione. "Dipper felt ashamed, he knew the reason why she was upset. "On the bright side, despite you two not playing, Gryffindor was still able to beat Ravenclaw and win the Quidditch cup" said Nicole Timor. "Katie Bell took over as chaser, and Mabel took over as seeker" said Ron. "Wood thought i'd be a good fit for quidditch, with me and Dipper sharing the same blood" said Mabel. "And after I caught the snitch, me and Ron kissed." "So are you two a thing now?" asked Dipper. "You better believe it" said Ron. "It's no surprise, i've seen the way you both look at each other" said Hermione. "Listen Dipper, you scared the ever loving crap out of me" said Nicole. "I came across you and Ron being carried to the hospital wing, and I found out your sternum was fractured, along with five ribs." "I cast a spell to completely heal the ribs, but I wasn't able to fix your punctured lung." "Madame Pomfrey gave you a bunch of potions while you were asleep, and your lung should return to normal size over the summer, just don't overdo anything." "And i'm sorry to say, that Slytherin won the house cup." "My last day in Hogwarts before I graduate, and I end it with an unfair win." "At least we still have the end of year feast to look forward to" said Ron.
Before being allowed to go to the feast, Madam Pomfrey gave Harry and Dipper one last check up. Dipper was instructed to take his time eating. Harry had also received a photo album from Hagrid, containing pictures of his parents. All of the students were seated in the great hall, waiting for the feast to begin. The great hall was decked out in green and silver, to celebrate Slytherin's victory. A huge banner showing the Slytherin serpent, covered the wall behind the high table. Dumbledore then came up, to give an end of year speech. "Another year gone, and I must trouble you with an old man's wheezing waffle, before we can sink our teeth into our delicious feast." "What a year it has been, hopefully your heads are little bit fuller." "You have the whole summer, to get them nice and empty again, before next year starts." "Now as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding, and the points stand thus." "In fourth place, Gryffindor, with 212 points." "In third place, Hufflepuff, with 352 points." "In second place, Ravenclaw, with 376 points." "And in first place, with 427 points, Slytherin house." "All of the Slytherin's began cheering, except for Nicole." "Yes well done Slytherin, however, recent events must be taken into account" said Dumbledore. The room then went silent. "I have a few last minute points to dish out" said Dumbledore. "First to our head girl, Ms Nicole Timor." "Saw that a student was in danger with a broken ribcage, and immediately knew the spell to save the day." "I award Slytherin house, 50 points." The Slytherins all began cheering again. Nicole put her head in her hands, she felt as if she was being punished for doing the right thing. "Second, to Ms Pacifica Northwest" said Dumbledore. "For casting the knock back jinx, when one of her friends was in danger from a man in a black cloak." "I award Gryffindor house, 50 points." Pacifica was surprised, she didn't think that action would be worth 50 points. "Third, to Ms Mabel Pines" said Dumbledore. "Who slayed the plant of death, with the flames of freedom." "I award Gryffindor house, 50 points." Dipper wanted to high five his sister, but he felt too weak. "Fourth, to Ms Hermione Granger" said Dumbledore. "For the use of cool logic in the face of fire." "I award Gryffindor house, 50 points." Hermione went red in the face, and blushed with embarrassment. "Fifth, to Mr Mason Pines and Ronald Weasley" said Dumbledore. "For the best played game of chess Hogwarts has seen, in many years." "I award Gryffindor house, 100 points." "That's my younger brother, he made it past McGonagall's chess set" said Percy. "Now to Mr Harry Potter" said Dumbledore. "For pure nerve, and outstanding courage." "I award Gryffindor house, 60 points." There were cheers throughout the great hall. "Wait a second, does this mean that we both win the house cup?" asked Pacifica. "Maybe the tie breaker is a Quidditch match" said George. "And finally, it takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends" said Dumbledore. "I award 10 points, to Neville Longbottom." At this point, the Gryffindor's, the Ravenclaw's, and the Hufflepuff's burst into applause. Nicole was the only Slytherin, that was cheering. All of the green and silver was replaced with red and yellow, and the Slytherin serpent was replaced with the Gryffindor lion. Gryffindor had won the house cup.
Nearly the entire great hall was jumping up and down and yelling, with Nicole being the only Slytherin that was celebrating Gryffindor's win. Dipper wasn't celebrating as much due to his chest hurting from his punctured lung, but he was still happy. He and Pacifica were then facing each other. "So uh, I heard what you said in the hospital wing" said Dipper. Pacifica's eyes widened in horror. "It's okay Pacifica, I feel the same way about you" said Dipper. They then looked over to see Mabel and Ron sharing a kiss. "We don't have to tell your parents anything, at least not until we turn 17" said Dipper. "I'm ready to start when you are." "Just don't try to save my life ever again" said Pacifica. They were now a thing.
Less than a day later, the exam results came in. All of the first years had officially made it to the second year. Every student at Hogwarts had packed up, and was ready to go home for the summer holidays. Everyone under the age of 17 was given a note, reminding them not to use magic outside of school. "I always hope they forget to give us these" said Fred.
Everyone was at Hogsmeade station, ready to board the Hogwarts Express and go back to King's Cross. Nicole was taking one last look at the school from a distance. "This is it, i'm finally leaving" she said. "I won the house cup six out of my seven years, I became the head girl, got good grades in my owls and newts, and even made some new friends." She then got on the train, and it began pulling out of the station.
The train slowed down, and finally came to a stop at platform nine and three quarters. Everyone then got off the train. "So Nicole, what are you going to do now that you're done school?" asked Ron. "Maybe there's a quidditch league somewhere, looking for a referee" said Nicole. "Maybe I can get the six of you free tickets to the world cup." "If you guys don't have anything planned, maybe you can come to the burrow this summer" said Ron. "That's something to look forward to" said Harry. "Well, my dad's probably on the other side of that barrier, so I should just do this now so he doesn't see" said Pacifica. She grabbed Dipper, and kissed him on the lips. "Goodbye guys, i'll see you next year." "Or in your case Nicole, see you on the pitch." She went along with three other students, and returned to the muggle world. "Well guys, it's been a fun ride" said Nicole. "See you when Britain plays the U.S." She then walked through the barrier with Fred and George. "So are you going to be okay with your aunt and uncle Harry?" asked Dipper. "I'll have some fun with them, they don't know we can't use magic outside of Hogwarts" said Harry. "Thanks for everything guys, i'm glad I got to be a part of this group" said Hermione. Ron then kissed Mabel on the cheek, then gave her a slight pat on the head. Dipper's lung started acting up, and he let out a heavy cough. "You need to go home and get some rest" said Hermione. "Bye guys, we'll see you next term" said Dipper. He and Mabel then walked through the barrier.
That night, as the twins slept in their shared bedroom in Piedmont California, all they could think about, was magic.
Authors note: So there you have it, year one is finally complete. When I first started this, I didn't think I would make it this far. But now i've hit a bit of a road block. I plan on doing years 2-7, but with extra characters from another franchise in here, I feel as though it's going to more difficult to write, the deeper I get into the the story, without changing too much. I do plan on ending this whole thing, the same way it ended in the books, with Harry Potter killing Voldemort via Expelliarmus vs Avada Kedavra. If you have any ideas on how I can do this, please tell me in a review.
Thank you for reading and please have a great day.
