Here's the last chapter! Sorry I didn't post it when I wanted to, I had to finish some projects for school. Now I really hate my history teacher, he is evil! But that's a different story. Anyway, this isn't my best or my favourite chapter, but I suck at endings coz I never want to finish a story! But all stories must come to an end, though I might come back and edit this, maybe...

Chapter 9: Victory is always sweet

Ginny was the last one up. She was woken by Lavender and Parvati screaming as they told each other what had happened last night at the dance when they split up.

"Dean is such a good dancer! We're going out again next Hogsmeade weekend!" Parvati said.

"So are Seamus and I! Maybe we can go on a double date?" Lavender said. Ginny's eyes widened as she realized that she had fallen asleep in the wrong dorm! Ginny jumped out of the bed she was in and looked around for Hermione.

"Took you long enough, you fell asleep on my bed that Hermione had to conjure an extra bed for me." Lavender said as she pulled on a jacket.

"Where's Hermione?" Ginny asked.

"I'm here, went to go fetch your clothes. Now hurry up, we're going to breakfast now." Hermione said and threw the clothes at Ginny.

"This is going to be so cool, Pansy and them have to admit to the whole school that Gryffindor is better then Slytherin." Parvati said.

"Since when did you guys decide that?" Hermione asked.

"When you and Harry were busy making out on the Hogwarts grounds." Lavender said and started to giggle at Hermione's red face.

"Ha ha, very funny. Now lets go." Hermione said as Ginny pulled on her jeans. Today was Saturday and the girls were planning on meeting Pansy and them early to discuss how she was going to let the school know.

"What if she doesn't do it?" Ginny asked as they walked down the stairs towards the Great Hall.

"There really isn't anything to prove and if she doesn't do it, then she is a coward." Hermione said. They had reached the Entrance Hall and there stood the Slytherin trio, all looking rather grim.

"Ok, here's the deal. We will only say that Gryffindor is better once and when we want to." Pansy said as they approached her.

"I don't think so, you're just going to say it when no one is there, you say it when the hall is almost full of students." Ginny said and glared at them. Pansy knew better then to mess with Ginny and quickly nodded.

"Good, now that is settled, let's go to breakfast." Lavender said and dragged her friends in. The hall had a few early risers already, so the tables were almost empty. The 4 Gryffindors headed towards their table where they started to dish up a big breakfast, the running around the previous night gave them an appetite.

"So Hermione, what is going on between you and Harry now?" Parvati asked casually. Hermione stopped eating and glared at her friend.

"I don't want to discuss that right now. If we have to discuss something, how about Ginny and Blaise?" Hermione suggested. All girls looked at Ginny who went red.

"Uh, we're going out. I'm meeting Blaise later today." Ginny said. The girls nodded, but soon their attention went towards the Slytherin table. More people had arrived and Pansy was now standing on the Slytherin table.

She was red in the face and looked around the hall. She saw Hermione and Ginny glaring at her and knew now was the time. Pansy took a deep breath and said, "Gryffindors are better then Slytherins." She shouted.

"What?!" Everyone turned to see Draco who looked like he was about to faint. This made Pansy considerably happier and she sat back down and continued to eat.

"I guess they aren't getting back together any time soon." Ginny said. Hermione nodded and looked around the hall for Ron and Harry, but couldn't see them anywhere.

"I'm going to go to the library, see you back at the common room?" Hermione said and the other girls nodded. She got up and quickly left the hall and ran up the stairs until she arrived at the library.

It was quiet and she was the only student there because the others were downstairs eating their breakfast. Hermione made her way towards an empty desk and sat down. She needs a quiet place to think right now, but it seemed someone didn't want that for her.

Near one of the bookshelves, Hermione spotted something shiny glittering in the early morning light that was coming through the window. Curious as to what is could be, she got off of the seat and walked towards the bookshelf.

She found the crown she lost the night before lying on the bookshelf, someone must've found it and followed her here. Carefully, she picked it up.

"You lost it last night while running away from Filch." Said a voice and Hermione turned to see Harry standing behind her. "I followed you and saved it while Filch fell down the stairs, it was quiet a sight."

"I bet it was." Hermione murmured, playing with the crown. Harry stepped closer to her and took the crown out of her hands. He placed it on her head and smiled down at her.

"So Cinderella, I guess since I'm your prince and all, I have to give you this." Harry said and moved his face closer to Hermione's and lightly brushed his lips against hers.

Hermione laughed. "Cinderella? Harry, that is so cliché, but that's ok." She said and Harry grinned and gave her another kiss, this time it was longer.

I used Cinderella because at the end of the movie, Julie says 'And so the Cinderella in the lopsided crown finally got her kiss.' so I just had to add something like that in! Anyway, now is the time where I will now thank all my reviewers, who all rock by the way.
