It's been almost four days since they entered the trap door. Y/N, Hermione, and Ron came out thankfully fine, but they couldn't help but worry about Harry's well-being. For all they know, he's in a coma at the hospital wing, being tended by Madam Pomfrey after Dumbledore had saved him.

What happened to Harry and Professor Quirrell was kept a secret. Naturally, the whole school knew about it and had heard that Harry was trying to stop Voldemort from gaining the Philosopher's Stone.

Because of that, he was seen as a hero to all the other students and quickly won himself some admirers.

A lot had happened while Harry was unconscious. Without him to play as Gryffindor's seeker, of course, Slytherin won the last Quidditch match, earning them lots of house points, and winning the House Cup for the seventh year in a row.

That night, Hogwarts was having an end-of-year feast in the Great Hall. The place was decorated with huge banners bearing the Slytherin serpent, hanging from the walls and covering the wall behind the High Table.

Y/N was sitting at the Ravenclaw table when she saw Harry enter the room. She was relieved to see him doing well, and her ears perked when she heard Dumbledore speak, about to make his announcement.

Dumbledore made a few opening remarks, announcing that they had reached the end of the school year and other such things, before addressing the Houses' points.

"In fourth place, Gryffindor, with 312 points; in third, Hufflepuff, with 352 points; Second place, Ravenclaw with 450 points; and with 472 points, Slytherin house."

A storm of cheers and stamping broke out from the Slytherin table while the other houses looked miserable and defeated.

Y/N could see Draco banging his goblet on the table from excitement. However, she knew that happiness would be short-lived.

"Yes, yes, well done, Slytherin," said Dumbledore, "However, recent events must be taken into account."

The room went very still and the Slytherins' smiles faded a little.

"I have a few last-minute points to dish out. First– to Mr. Ronald Weasley for the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has ever seen in many years. I award Gryffindor house fifty points."

The whole of the Great Hall burst into a loud cheering, yelling and applauding. Y/N swore she could feel the vibration from all the noises, but happily cheered with the crowd anyway.

Percy Weasley can be heard across the tables telling everyone, "That's my brother! My brother, you know! My youngest brother! Got past McGonagall's giant chess set!"

And after a few seconds, the crowd calmed down and it was quiet again.

"Second– to Miss Hermione Granger... For staying composed when faced against the vicious Devil's Snare and staying by her friend's side when they couldn't carry on. I award Gryffindor fifty points."

The crowd applauded again, and Hermione buried her face in her arms. Y/N smiled at the sight, suspected it was from embarrassment.

"Third– to Mr. Harry Potter..." Dumbledore said. The room went deadly quiet. "...for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor sixty points."

The crowd applauded but looked rather confused now as to who was the winner of the House Cup.

Gryffindor had completely tied with Slytherin. If only Dumbledore had given Harry just one more point, people thought.

The room was filled with whispers; students were discussing amongst themselves who'd be the winner; and some were saying with haughty chin that their house deserved more points.
