Chapter 7: First year: checked!
The year was almost over and Veronica became fluent about the Wizarding world.
All of the students were gathered in the Great Hall, for the last dinner together with the teacher and Minerva.
Everyone was talking about this year and how nothing bad happened. First, because Harry killed Voldemort and second, because Harry was not at school anymore. And everyone knows that troubles followed him everywhere.
Voices were all over the room when Minerva stood up and started to talk.
"We all know last year was not easy. Many have fall but they will not be forgotten. Many got hurt but they rose stronger and more determinate. At the end, we won, the evil has been wrecked. Voldemort fall and he was destroyed. Let's all remember our friends and the member of this family, the family of Hogwarts who stood up against evil. This year was the first year of peace since a long time. I'm very glad that nothing happened. A normal school year at Hogwarts!
Let's make of this year the beginning of a lot peaceful year.
It's time to announce which house won the house cup.
At the fourth place, with 300 points Hufflepuff"
No one was surprised to see Hufflepuff at the fourth place. But everyone applauded.
"At the third place, with 350 points… Slytherin"
The Slytherin' students were shocked, never they have been so humiliated, third place, it's unacceptable for them. They will do better next year.
"Now it's gettin' interested" said Hagrid to the Professor Flitwick.
"At the second place, this year, with 400 points…"
Everyone was quiet, some knew that Gryffindor will win as always but some had hope because Potter was out of school.
"...Ravenclaw, and with 500 points as everyone know Gryffindor"
The Gryffindor students stood up and clapped as hard as they could.
"Same thing, every year" said Hermione to Ginny
"Even with Harry gone, we always win, cheers to that and cheers to your last year at Hogwarts"
"Thank you Ginny"
Veronica was thrilled, she will find Lily again, and she has great stories to tell to her parents but she will missed Calixta and Wallace. But thankfully there is Dawn, she will able to write to them this summer.
Be back at Neptune after this amazing year will be strange, but she knows that she will be back in this amazing school soon and she will learn a lot more about magic and the Wizarding world. Her adventure was not quite done yet.
It's like how a child's life can change. Thanks to a man knocking at her door on a summer day.
