Capítulo 49: Slytherin's Victory
A few days later, Harry and Daphne sat at the leaving feast while Tracy sat with Blaise further down the table. They were doing their best to avoid everyone who kept gossiping about Adrian and his amazing adventures, they couldn't imagine the size of his head now.
"Look at them" Harry whispered to Daphne "they're really laying it on thick, aren't they?" Daphne looked at Adrian and Ron who were telling anyone who would listen about their stories, Hermione was next to them and while she didn't participate she didn't correct them.
"What do you expect?" Daphne looked at Harry "I don't really know what happened but he is definitely making it out to be something it isn't, your brother could perform a simple charm and claim to have revolutionized spell making. In fact, he did that last week."
"The week before he claimed to be the greatest quidditch player ever" Harry said "apparently he tried to get Dumbledore to get him on the quidditch team"
"Hmm, gossip Harry? Didn't think you were the type"
"Not gossip, I talked with the Weasley twins about it." Harry responded, while he thought Ron was a colossal idiot and Percy was a pompous prat, he thought the twins were genuinely fun and nice guys to be around. "According to them Oliver Wood refused to let him on the team, apparently he said something along the lines of 'I don't care if you're the boy-who-lived or Merlin aunt Matilda, you're not coming on my team until you can learn to catch something besides a cold'."
"Another year gone by" Dumbledore began his speech "first I'd like to say well done Slytherin" The Slytherin's cheered, they were currently in the lead for the house cup "yes, yes, well done Slytherin. However, a few last minute points need to be awarded" The hall went silent.
"I don't like where this is going" Daphne whispered to Harry
"To Miss Hermione Granger, fifty points for the cool use of intellect" Dumbledore said, a few Gryffindor's cheered for her. "Second to Mr Ronald Weasley, fifty points for the best chess game seen in Hogwarts history"
"You…have…got…to…be kidding!" Harry couldn't believe the blatant favouritism coming from Dumbledore "Chess? He's getting points for chess!"
"And finally" Dumbledore continued "to Mr Adrian Potter, for outstanding nerve and courage, I award Gryffindor seventy points." The Gryffindor table began cheering loudly.
"And they've bloody won" Daphne sighed
"Outstanding nerve and courage?" Harry shook his head "the only thing outstanding thing about my brother is the neck muscles he uses to carry that massive head of his"
"Well" Dumbledore smiled "if my calculations are correct…"
"Excuse me, headmaster" Snape interrupted "I have some last minute points of my own to award" The hall went quiet again
"Now Severus…" Dumbledore tried to stop Snape
"Ten points" Snape continued "to Mr Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass, for not being total and complete dunderheads. I would also like to award Mr Potter and Miss Greengrass ten points for being brilliant students and a credit to their parents. Now, unless there is anything else you'd like to add headmaster, I believe that Slytherin have won the house cup."
"Uh…yes" Dumbledore turned to the students "the winners of the house cup are Slytherin" Dumbledore said without a lot of emotion.
All the students turned to Harry and Daphne, who looked embarrassed but they both stood up and looked at the students.
"Well" Daphne said "thank you Professor Snape"
"And as for the rest of you" Harry looked at all the Slytherin's "you're welcome"
The two sat down and the Slytherin's started cheering, Tracy and Blaise were whooping from their seats at the other end of the table. The Gryffindor's were cursing under their breath and some were glaring at Harry, including the golden trio. Harry and Daphne looked at Professor Snape who clapped his hands and winked at them. Harry and Daphne shared a look before both winking back at him.
