A/N: … Can't believe that this is the epilogue. It came too soon! L Anyways, here it is!
Epilogue
They were in the Great Hall. His first year was finally over. It seemed as if it had passed by so quickly.
And… once again… Gryffindor was in last place. But with Harry's luck, he would get a ton of points, making up for it.
"Hello everybody." Professor Dumbledore said, starting his speech.
"Today, as you all know, is the last day of the school year. A lot has happened, and although some of you know what happened, some of you don't. I can not tell you the specifics, but there is something that I CAN tell you. Voldemort is back. Be well aware of it, for we do not know when he will strike again." Professor Dumbledore said, and the students began to whisper.
"And now… for the House Cup. In fourth place, Gryffindor, with three hundred and twelve points; in third place is Hufflepuff, with three hundred and fifty- two; in second place, is Ravenclaw with four hundred and twenty-six points; and finally, Slytherin, with four hundred and seventry-two points." Dumbledore said.
The Slytherin's cheered loud.
Harry clapped politely.
"Ahem, ahem. There have been some recent events that must be taken into account." Dumbledore said.
There was lots of whispers.
"Silence!" Professor McGonagall said, and all was quiet.
"First- to Hermione Granger. In acknowledging that something was wrong, that Professor Quirrel and I was not acting normally, and doing something about it, 50 points to Gryffindor." Professor Dumbledore said.
The Gryffindor's cheered.
Harry was confused. Had something happened that he had not known?
He began to question Hermione, who was crying tears of happiness, when Professor Dumbledore began to speak once more.
"To Ron Weasley. For being loyal to a friend, and following him when he felt that he was in danger- 50 points to Gryffindor." Professor Dumbledore said.
Harry felt even more confused.
"To Harry Potter. For his bravery and outstanding courage against Professor Quirrel, 60 points." Professor Dumbledore said.
The Great Hall was dead silent. Slytherin and Gryffindor were at a tie.
"And finally… 5 points to Draco Malfoy, for getting over past prejudices." Professor Dumbledore said, finishing.
The Slytherin's cheered loudly. And as did Harry.
Even though Harry knew that he should be feeling sad, he was happy. Because he knew how much those 5 points meant. From how Draco used to treat him, and how he treated him now, it was so different.
Draco was a friend to him now.
"Now… Hermione, Ron? What was all that about, earlier?" Harry asked.
"Huh? You don't remember? We told you at the hospital wing! So… well I told Professor McGonagall about what I suspected… you know, I thought there was something to do with Polyjuice potion… and so in his food, we slipped something in that would make his Polyjuice potion last not as long." Hermione said.
"That's brilliant, 'Mione!" Harry said, amazed. If Hermione hadn't done that… then Harry might have died.
"And as for me… well… I felt something was wrong, so I followed you towards where the Mirror of Erised was. Mind you, it was very hard, and I kind of got hurt… but the REAL Dumbledore healed me." Ron said.
"Wow…" Harry said. Ron had done a very courageous act.

And Harry was finally going back home. To the Dursley's. Harry groaned imagining it. "Why so down? We're almost in Year Two! Isn't that amazing?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah it is! And to think, the year past so quickly!" Draco said, joining the conversation.
"It did." Ron said. (A/N: I'll try not to discriminate Ron any more ._.)
"It's just that… I have to go to the Dursley's!" Harry said.
"They can't be that bad… right?" Blaise asked.
Harry laughed, and told them all about his life with the Dursley's.
So the Slytherin's had won the House Cup. But they had deserved it. This year had been amazing, despite some almost death experiences…
And he couldn't wait for the next one.
Amazing what could happen… when he was expecting death. There was definitely a reason that the veil was put in the Department of Mysteries! Harry thought, chuckling to himself.
