A/N: Semi long A/N at the end. Sorry this chapter is short like last time.
The next morning, after Hermione and Fiona brought Ron to the hospital wing and after Harry was brought up by Dumbledore, Harry approached a room where up on a stairwell balcony Hermione, Fiona and Ron were talking. They stopped when they saw Harry and leaned over the railing.
"Alright there, Ron?" Harry asked.
"Alright. You?" Ron asked. Harry shrugged.
"Alright. Hermione?
"Never better," she said with a smile. Harry looked to the black haired girl but found she wasn't there.
"Fiona?" Harry asked. Suddenly he was hugged and laughed as he hugged her back.
"Much better now," she said giving him a big smile.
…
In the great hall, all students were seated, and green banners with snakes on them were around the ceiling. Dumbledore, at the head table, nodded to McGonagall. She clinked her glass and the chatter of the students stopped. Dumbledore stood.
"Another year gone. And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding, and the points stand thus. In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 points." There was clapping but Hermione, Ron, Fiona and Harry ducked their heads since they were the cause of 200 points lost. The students sitting around them all sent glares their way. "Third place, Hufflepuff, with 352 points. In second place, Ravenclaw, with 426 points. And in first place, with 522 points, Slytherin House." There was immense cheering from the Slytherin table. Draco saw Ron looking at him and sneered. "Yes, yes, well done Slytherin, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last minute points to award." Harry and Fiona looked at each other. "To Miss Hermione Granger, for the use of calm intellect when others were in great peril, 50 points." The table clapped. Harry patted her on the arm.
"Good job," he said.
"Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best played game of chess," Ron looked at Harry and mouthed, 'Me?' Harry nodded, and mouthed, 'You!' "that Hogwarts has seen these many years...50 points." There was more applause. "Third to Miss Fiona Gaunt, for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, 50 points." The table cheered as Fiona's face went red. Harry grinned at her. "And fourth, to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house 60 points." The table erupted in cheers.
"We're tied with Slytherin!" Hermione exclaimed.
"And finally, it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award 10 points to Neville Longbottom." Immense cheering erupted. Neville was unbelieving, and sat there while the cheering got louder. "Assuming that my calculations are correct, I believe that a change of direction is in order." He clapped his hands and the green banners changed to Gryffindor red and yellow. "Gryffindor wins the House Cup!" The room started cheering. All students, minus Slytherin house, stood and threw their hats into the air.
"Neville!" Seamus cheered as he shook his hand. They all rubbed each other's hair and jumped around, cheering and laughing.
"Yeah! We won!" Lee shouted as he jumped with Harry, who looked back and grinned very widely at Hagrid.
At the outdoor train station, students were walking around, getting on the train or making sure their things were loaded.
"Come on now, hurry up," Hagrid said to some students. "You'll be late. Train's leaving. Go on. Go on. Come on. Hurry up." Harry handed Hedwig to a train man, and walked to an open door of the train with Ron, Hermione and Fiona. The three waved to Hagrid, who waved back, before they got on the train.
"Come on, Harry," Hermione said.
"One minute," he said. Fiona followed after Hermione as Harry walked up to Hagrid.
"Thought you were leaving without saying good-bye, didja?" Hagrid took a red album out of his coat pocket and handed it to Harry. "This is for you." Harry opened the album and saw a picture, moving, of him as a baby with his parents. They were all smiling and waving. Harry smiled.
"Thanks, Hagrid," he said. Harry shook his hand before hugging him tightly.
"Oh. Go on...on with you." Harry let go. "Oh, listen, Harry, if that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gives you any grief, you could always, um, threaten him with a nice pair of ears to go with that tail of his."
"But Hagrid, we're not allowed to do magic away from Hogwarts. You know that."
"I do. But your cousin don't, do he? Eh?" Hagrid chuckled. "Off you go." Harry walked away, back to the train door where Hermione, Fiona and Ron were waiting.
"Feels strange to be going home, doesn't it?" Hermione asked.
"I'm not going home. Not really," Harry said. The train whistled and they climbed aboard. As the train started to leave, Harry waved out the window to Hagrid, who waved back. Once he was out of sight Harry moved back in and shut the window before sitting down next to Ron across from the girls.
"Your Aunt and Uncle will have to let me come over whenever I want now, won't they?" Fiona asked.
"They don't know we can't do magic," he said with a grin and a nod.
"My father should be waiting for us at the station," she added. "Wouldn't want to bother your uncle," she added with an overly exaggerated eye-roll. Harry chuckled.
"Thanks. You didn't have to do that."
"Like I'd make you ride home with him." Harry gave her another grin. "So, Ron." Ron looked up from petting Scabbers.
"Yes?" he squeaked.
"I'll send you a list of all the cards Harry has after I give him my extras so you know which ones to send him." Ron looked excited and nodded while Hermione playfully rolled her eyes. "We could help you with your collection too, Hermione," Fiona offered.
"No thank you," the girl said with a smile.
"You will write me won't you?" Fiona asked her making the brunette's smile grow.
"Of course! You and Harry!"
"Can we look through the album?" Fiona asked motioning to the book in Harry's hands.
"Yeah!" He gladly opened the photo album and began to show his friends.
"Aw look at wittle baby 'arry!" Fiona teased.
"I'm older than you!"
"By a month!"
A/N: Obviously I added 50 points to Slytherin's actual total cause Fiona needed to get 50 added as well.
That was the end of Movie/Book 1. I've almost finished fixing the grammar of the parts that are already up. Updating Movie/Book 2 might take a bit longer since I still have to re-read the second book. I add more stuff from the second book, I can tell you that already.
I wanted to write a tiny bit about what I hoped came across in some of the more subtle changes I made/added. If you noticed I added in Fiona being more… I guess you could say aggressive or more "Gaunt"-like she does have a bit of Slytherin in her (as the trio each have some of the other houses in them). She'll openly glare at Snape (who also doesn't seem to like her as much as Harry, if you've noticed) and as a child kicked Dudley and stood up for Harry verbally instead of just putting up with the bullying like before.
To anyone who's seen all the movies/ read all the books you know Snape promised to protect Harry (or is really just doing it cause of his obsession with Lily) so when he sees this Gaunt girl close to the boy he's supposed to look out for (and he knows about the Gaunt line as most adults do more than the students) he's wary of her. (even though she's literally like 11 but hey Snape can be a d**k sometimes as we all know…)
