Chapter 25

End of a year

The end of the year has finally arrived. Harry got first place in all classes except potions. He managed to get an Acceptable thanks to the help of Susan and Hannah.

Flying classes did not have grades, which was a good thing for Harry as he was banned from the class after destroying his fifth broom. He had the theory that these old brooms they use in class cannot handle the amount of magic he has, even if he is being careful.

The entirety of the Hogwarts population was currently enjoying the end-of-year feast when the Headmaster stood up to say some words.

"Another year has come to a close. I know we had some sad moments this year, but I hope we can learn to get past them. As you know, at the end of the year we count the points made by each house and gave the House Cup to the one with the most points."

Dumbledore gave a moment for the noise in the hall to die down again before he continued.

"In fourth place Gryffindor with 312 points.

In third place Hufflepuff with 352 pints.

In second place Ravenclaw with 426 points.

And in first place Slythering with 472 points "

The Slytherin table erupted in cheers at the news. Their house banner filled the sky with green. Even Harry gave a soft smile, a bit proud of his former house. But then the Headmaster asked for silence once more.

"However. I have to take into account some recent events carried out by a brave Hufflepuff." He then looked at Harry, who was making a complicated expression.

"Harry Potter, for your service in protecting an invaluable treasure and defeating an evil thief. I award Hufflepuff 125 points!" Dumbledore said.

He then waved his wand and now, it was Hufflepuff sigil the one decorating the sky in yellow and black.

"Congratulations Hufflepuff for winning the House Cup!" The Headmaster started clapping, and soon most of the school follow.

While everyone at the Slytherin table looked miserable.

The ones at the Hufflepuff table were static. They keep yelling "POTTER POTTER"

Susan got her face close to Harry so he could hear her and said.

"Harry !. Why didn't you say anything about this adventure of yours?" She didn't seem really mad, just curious.

Harry just shrugged and said, "It didn't seem that important."

Hannah just started laughing.

"That won't do Harr. We want to hear all of the details, tomorrow on the train. Right Hanna?" Susan smiled.

Hannah nodded enthusiastically and Harry just sighed.

After dismounting the train at Kings Cross station Harry said his goodbyes to the girls before he called his elf.

"Lorry"

A well-dressed appeared out of nowhere. He looked at Harry and gave him a bow.

"Master. Is good to see you again. Did you have a good year?" The elf asked

"It was alright. Did the Dursleys give you trouble?" Harry asked the elf.

"Just a little bit at the beginning. But as Master instructed, I showed them their place." Lorry gave a small smile at that.

'This elf is better than I expected' Harry thought.

"Well, then let's go home."

The elf nodded, then took Harry's arm and pop them into the Dursleys House.

They appear in the living room of the house, giving Dudley who was watching TV a good scare.

"Ahhh!" Dudley almost fell off the couch. Then he saw how has arrived and his face became very pale.

"H-he is b-back! MOM!" He then runs towards the kitchen.

Petunia came into the living room and found Harry and the house elf there.

"Harry. W-welcome back" She said with very little emotion. She seems very tired and has black rings under her eyes.

"Ah, my beloved aunt" Harry mocked and ignored her state. "Aren't you glad I'm back? Well of course you are. Where is the whale that you married?" Harry gave her a smile.

"The whal- I mean Vernon is still working," Petunia said, trying to hide her annoyance.

"Lorry I am hungry. Prepare a feast for me and some scraps for the muggles. This is going to be a very productive summer, I hope." Harry said with a soft smile.
