[Harry with his arm still bandage, and Juniper enter a corridor where up on a stairwell balcony, Hermione and Ron are talking. They stop when they see Harry and Juniper and lean over the railing.]

Harry: All right there, Ron?

Ron: All right. You? June?

Harry: [as he shrugs] All right.

Juniper: I'm good. Hermione?

Hermione: [smiling] Never better.

[We see the Great Hall full of students eating and talking with each other. There are green and silver banners with the Slytherin symbol above their heads, already indicating the house with the most points. Dumbledore gives a slight nod to Professor McGonagall, who then clinks her spoon to her glass to ask attention from the students. The crowd falls silent. Dumbledore stands up and speaks with his magically magnified voice.]

Dumbledore: Another year gone. And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding. And the points stand thus: In fourth place, Gryffindor with 312 points. [There is a medium applause from the crowd.] Third place, Hufflepuff with 352 points. [The applause for Hufflepuff is slightly louder than the clapping for Gryffindor.] In second place, Ravenclaw with 426 points. [Applause again, this time with a slight cheer from some students.] And in first place, with 532 points, Slytherin house. [A loud roar rises from the Slytherin table, as students stand up and clap for themselves. Hermione scowls with her hand to her cheek; Snape applauds the students of his house]

Draco: Nice one, mate. [sneers at Ron]

Dumbledore: Yes, yes, well done, Slytherin. Well done, Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last-minute points to award. [Some faces at the Gryffindor table rise hopefully.] To Miss Hermione Granger, for the cool use of intellect while others were in grave peril, 50 points. [Hermione looks surprised, while the other Gryffindor students applaud her.]

Harry: [giving Hermione a pat on the back] Good job. [Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle don't like what's happening. Hermione looks at Hagrid, who looks back to her with a proud smile.]

Dumbledore: Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years, 50 points. [Ron looks even more surprised than Hermione did and the Gryffindor table is applauding even louder.] Third, to Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house 60 points.

[The Gryffindors cheer again, this time even louder than before. Malfoy has a cringing look on his face, while Harry sees a proud, smiling Professor McGonagall at the teacher's table. Hermione, who has done some quick math, whispers to her fellow students.]

Dumbledore: Fourth, to Miss.Juniper Potter. For immense bravery and tactic, I award Gryffindor house 60 points. [The Gryffindors cheer even more]

Hermione: We're tied with Slytherin!

[Now, the Gryffindors look really hopeful, as Dumbledore hasn't finished talking yet.]

Dumbledore: And finally, it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award 10 points to Neville Longbottom. [Neville can't believe what he just heard and the Gryffindors that heard Hermione's whisper are cheering the loudest. Malfoy looks quite uncertain now.] Assuming that my calculations are correct, I believe that a change of decoration is in order. [He claps and motions his hands towards the Slytherin banners, where they flap heavily, until the banners have changed completely to red and gold with the Gryffindor symbol] Gryffindor wins the House Cup.

[The Great Hall explodes with applause, not only from the Gryffindors, but also from the Ravenclaws and the Hufflepuffs because they are glad that for the first time in seven years, someone other than Slytherin has won the House Cup. Hagrid can't help himself to also cheer, and all students except the Slytherins throw their hats in the air, while Malfoy angrily throws his on the table in defeat. The Gryffindors around Harry are all congratulating him, and Harry smiles to Hagrid, who smiles back.]

[At Hogsmeade station, students are walking around, getting in the train.]

Hagrid: Come on, now. Hurry up, you'll be late. Train's leaving. Go on. Go on. Come on, hurry up.

[Harry and Juniper hand their owls to a train man and walks to an open door of the train with Hermione. Hermione waves to Hagrid, who waves back. Hermione gets on the train.]

Hermione: Come on Harry, June.

Harry and Juniper: One minute. [They walk over to Hagrid]

Hagrid: Thought you were leaving without saying goodbye, didja? [Hagrid takes a red album out of his coat pocket and hands it to Harry.] This is fer you both.

[Harry opens the album and sees a picture, moving, of them as a babies with their parents. They are all smiling and waving. Harry and Juniper smile.]

"Thank you Hagrid" Lily and James say

Harry and Juniper: Thanks Hagrid! [They hug Hagrid tightly]

Hagrid: Oh. Go on. On with you. On with you now. [They let go] Oh, listen, Harry, Juniper. If that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gives you any grief, you could always, um, threaten him with a nice pair of ears to go with that tail of his.

Harry: But Hagrid, we're not allowed to do magic away from Hogwarts. You know that.

Hagrid: I do. But your cousin don't, do he? Eh? [chuckle] Off you go.

[They walka away, back to the train door where Hermione and Ron are waiting.]

Hermione: Feels strange to be going home, doesn't it?

Harry: I'm not going home.

Juniper: Not really.

[The train whistles and they climb aboard. As the train starts to leave and the camera pans up over the whole scene, Harry waves out the window to Hagrid, who waves back and then waves more to other students as the camera pans far back, then the credits begin.]
