The next day, everyone was going around packing up their things for the journey home tomorrow.
Harry wasn't back from the Hospital Wing yet, so Jack did most of his packing for him.
One last day was there for friends to do what they wanted, Jack, Fred, George, and Peeves spending it firing water balloons at anyone who came out of the front doors to spend the perfect day in the grounds.
And then it was time to the leaving feast, the hall being decorated in Slytherin's colors for winning the House Cup.
Jack was looking around as he came into the hall looking for Harry.
"He's not here yet?" he asked Ron.
"Nope, bet he's just being 'fashionably late'." he said as everyone settled down.
After they were and a bit of silence, the doors opened and in came Harry, pausing as everyone turned to look at him, then cheered as he made his way to his table next to Jack, Ron and Hermione.
Once he was sat down, Dumbledore got up and the chatter died down.
"Another year gone!" he said cheerfully "And I must trouble you with an old man's wheezing waffle before we tuck into our delicious feast. What a year it has been! Hopefully your heads are all a little fuller than they were... you have the whole of next summer to get them empty again before next year starts...
"But right now, as I understand it, the House Cup needs awarding. And the points stand thus: in fourth place, Hufflepuff with 352 points; in third Ravenclaw with 426; Gryffindor 462; and Slytherin 572."
A storm of cheers erupted from the Slytherin table with some polite applauds from everyone else.
"Yes, well done Slytherin, well done Slytherin. However: Recent events have taken place and need to be taken into account."
The cheers died down and the Slytherins looked worried.
"Now lets see... First to Mr Ronald Weasley..."
Ron went purple in the face.
"... for the best game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years, I award Gryffindor house 25 points."
Gryffindor cheers nearly raised the bewitched ceiling: the stars did seem to quiver a little.
Percy could be heard calling out "My brother you know. My youngest brother! Got past McGonagall's giant chess set!"
When there was silence again, Dumbledore continued.
"Second – to Miss Hermione Granger... for the use of cool logic in the face of fire. I award Gryffindor 25 points."
Hermione buried her face in her arms Jack so sure she was crying. The other Gryffindors on the other hand were cheering madly – they were 50 points up.
"Third - to Mr's Jack Frost, and Fredric and George Weasley..."
Here Jack was surprised, he didn't think he had done anything special at all.
"for their use of fun and laughter to get through the difficult times here at this school and for their leadership and guidance, I award each of them 10 points."
More cheers from the Griffindors and now a few from Ravenclaws and Hufflepuss as well.
Slytherins on the other hand were getting worried.
"Fourth – to Mr Harry Potter..." said Dumbledore. The room going deadly quiet now. "... for pure nerve and outstanding courage I award Gryffindor 30 points."
The noise was deafening. Three quarters of the students were cheering about this, and those who could count while screaming their heads off knew that Gryffindor were how 110 points up – having 572 points. Meaning they had tied with Slytherin.
Dumbledore raised his hand and once again, the hall fell silent.
"There are all kinds of courage," he began "And it take alot of it to stand up to your enemies, but just as much – if not even more to stand up to your friends. I therefore award 10 points to Mr Neville Longbottom."

"Come on guys we're already late as it is..." Tooth, as her human self, said hurrying North and Bunny across the Entrance Hall. Sandy helping her.
"Tooth, calm down," Bunny said getting away from her "It's not like the school will blow up just because we're not here to celebrate the leaving feast with Jack."
Just then some form of an explosion was heard coming from the other side of the doors.
Worried, they threw the doors open, and were about to go charging in, when they saw it was only the Gryffindors cheering and burying one of their own under hugs.
Seeing them, Jack waved them over, before being nudged by Harry to look in the Slytherin table at Malfoy who looked completely stunned.
"Which means," Dumbledore called over the noise because Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's were joining in as well. "Assuming my calculations are correct, a change of decoration is in order..."
With a clap of his hands, the drapes shifted a little, the green became scarlet, the silver became gold; the huge Slytherin serpent vanished and a towering Gryffindor lion took it's place.
"Gryffindor wins the House Cup," Dumbledore declared "And now let us enjoy our last meal together. Tuck in."
At the Gryffindor table, Jack and his friends were explaining to the Guardians what all the fuss was about.
"Well, Jack has been known to help break things a lot," Bunny said putting some mash potatoes and veg on his plate.
"No I haven't," Jack said his mouth full "You just don't let me touch anything."
"Because you'll break it!"
"It was only one mini egg..." Jack said rolling his eyes.
"That I spent 5 hours working on."
"Who spends 5 hours working on a mini egg?" Ron asked Seamus who shrugged tucking into the roast chicken.
"Besides," Jack said, his mouth now empty "I was only part of the crew that helped to break Slytherin's winning streak."
With that and some more stories, the evening was over, the Guardians saying they'll spend the night here and come with Jack and the students on the train home in the morning.
The next morning as the students left, they were all given notes to remind them not to use magic over the summer.
"I always hope they'd forget to give us these," said Fred.
At the station, Elisa was helping her Ravenclaw friend Lexi get her trunk inside the compartment.
"Need some help?" Jack asked spotting them and coming over.
"Yes please," Elisa said smiling "I have no idea what Lexi has in here, but it's really heavy."
Working together the two of them managed to get Lexi's trunk onto the train.
"Thanks for that," Elisa said smiling "So, see you next year? That is unless you're free over the summer."
"Well I am, not sure about my friends though," Jack said rubbing the back of his neck "Two of them are 24/7 jobbers and the other two get so focused on their work they don't really have time for anything else. But I'll try and get them to drop things so we can meet up over the summer."
"Thanks, but if it's that much trouble, it can wait," Elisa said smiling, giving Jack a quick kiss on the cheek before getting into the compartment with Lexi.
Blushing, Jack went back to his trolley and the Guardians ignoring how Tooth was saying how adorable that was, how Baby Tooth was pouting all jealous again, and how the guys were all smirking.
Rolling his eyes Jack went to find Harry and the others.
They all find a compartment of their own together and spent the trip enjoying the last of Harry and Jack's sweets (Jack enjoyed it ever so much when Bunny got a vomit flavoured one).
Soon the announcement came that said they would be arrive at Platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross Station in 10 minutes.
Quickly the kids got changed into Muggle clothes, Jack saying to Ron, Harry, Sandy, North and Bunny, they should explore the train a little and let Hermione change first.

It took a while for everyone to get off the platform, there was a wizard a the barrier who only allowed them to go in twos and threes – the reason being they did not want to draw attention from any of the Muggles on the other side.
"You must come and stay over the summer," Ron said to all three of them "I'll send you an owl."
"Thanks," Harry said "I'll need something to look forward to."
Soon they were all on the other side and the voice of an excited 10 year old girl was heard.
"There he is mum, there he his!"
It was Ginny Weasley, Ron's younger sister, except she wasn't pointing at Ron.
"Harry Potter! There he is mum I can see –"
"Be quiet Ginny, and it's rude to point," Mrs Weasley said then turning to them asked "Busy year?"
"Very," said Harry "Thanks for the fudge and the jumper Mrs Weasley."
"Yeah thanks," Jack said.
"Ready are you?" a new voice said coming from one of the fattest men Jack had ever seen.
Jack was about to say something about it and mock him, when Bunny elbowed him making him be quiet.
"You must be Harry's family," Mrs Weasley said kindly.
"In a manner of speaking," the man said "Come on boy we haven't got all day."
"Well he sure was pleasant," Jack said now the man was out of earshot.
"He's mostly like that when it come down to me," Harry said sighing "Something about the fact I'm magic."
"They're Muggles... aren't they?" Jack asked a sinister smirk coming to his face.
"Yep."
"And from what I gathered from the start of the year, they pick on you a lot don't they?"
"They do..." Harry said not sure where Jack was getting to with this, turning to him confused and seeing him wave the 'Don't use magic' note.
"Oh..." Harry said smirking now too and ripping his up.
Just then Hermione came to say goodbye.
"Hope you have a nice summer," she said unsure looking over at the Dursley's.
"Oh I will, as Jack reminded me... they don't know we're not supposed to use magic outside school," Harry said grinning "I'm going to have lots of fun with Dudley this summer."
