Descendant of Salazar Slytherin

The House Cup

Narrators POV

Soon after Harry had sat down with Willow's head on his lap, he looked around at the area he was in. The colloumns were no longer surrounded by fire and the ashes of Quirrell were on the floor along with his robes.
Dumbledore came rushing down as did Mcgonagoll and Snape. Snape came rushing to the side of Willow taking her from Harry's arms and into his own.
"She's still alive, but I don't know what happened to her, Voldemort's sort of ghost went to attack me but she threw herself if front. She got taken down here, she was so scared. It was Quirrell, Quirrell had Voldemort on the back of his head, he said he was living like a parasite. Willow tried telling me to leave that Voldemort wanted something from us, she sacrificed herself for me, unknowing to what damage he could have done to herself." Harry explains quickly, the teachers managed to pick up on each word.
Dumbledore managed to get both students and teachers out of the area and into the infirmary. Harry instantly saw Hermione and Ron and ran over to check on them, while Madam Pomfrey was checking over the sleeping girl.
"She's okay just bruising on her body, it seems that whatever passed through her has left her body. There shouldn't be any further damages to her body she just needs rest." They all nod and begin to walk off, Snape heads out first to the Slytherin common room to get Blaise.

Professor Snapes POV

Why does this always happen to her, her ending up in hospital, I walk into the common room and see a bunch of Slytherins hanging together laughing.
"Mr Zabini can you come with me please?" I say with a stern look on my face.
"Oooo Blaise is in trouble." Malfoy says.
"Am I actually in trouble?" Blaise questions.
"No I need you to just come with me. You can leave your stuff behind, you won't be needing anything." I calmly say.
Blaise looks confused but nods getting up from the black leather sofa and walks over towards the door.
Quickly I make him follow me to the infirmary.
"I trust you not to tell any of your classmates about your friends state." I say as we're about to walk into the infirmary.
"What do you mean?" He questions as I open the doors, soon enough his eyes lay upon the sleeping girl.
"Willow?" Blaise calls... but as guessed no answer. He runs over to her bedside and looks her over.
"What happened to her? Who did this?" He questions.
"An incident happened with Professor Quirrell and Mr Potter, Willow was caught in the middle of it and got hurt, apparently saving Potter from more damaged that could have happened to him. Sadly she got injured in the crossfire between them, she's okay just bruised. But he said a ghost of him passed through her, it most likely wasn't his ghost but his soul leaving Quirrells body, please keep an eye on her when she returns back." I say with a sincere look, Blaise looks back at me concerned but also angry. He nods and walks off I look back down to my sleeping god daughter, this year has been a tough one, maybe next year will be better for her.

Narrators POV

No one truly knew what happened down with the mirror of erised, but they did hear what happened, it was meant to be kept quite but word spread quickly of the adventures the trio and Willow had, so it was only accustom that the whole school heard about it by the end of the day.
Once Blaise got back to the Slytherin common room he was questioned about why Snape wanted him, but him being kept to his word he didn't say anything, didn't tell a soul. That was until the next day, final classes were happening and Willow had woken up, confused as to how she got into the infirmary and just wanting to go back to do her final classes.
In which she did, once she got the all clear from Madam Pomfrey who was rather against letting her go but she was stubborn and told her she would discharge herself without any final checks, Willow didn't want the fuss made about her so she let her do her tests and had gone back to the common room, where she was greeted with a hug from Blaise.
"Willow how are you feeling?" He questions.
"I'm fine Blaise I just wanna finish the year now." She says calmly. "I'm more than happy just chilling out before the end of the year. What are you doing over the holidays?" She wants to spend time with him but he's probably going to be busy.
"I'm going to be doing some travelling with my family, why what's wrong?" Willow smiles and shakes her head not wanting to cause a fuss.
"Nothing just making conversation, it'll probably be the only normal conversation I'd have all day. I'm guessing everyone knows now..." She states sadly.
"Yeah once Granger got a hold of the headmaster the word spread quicker than wildfire, Professor Snape got me while you were in the infirmary, I stayed with you for a little bit but got sent off to bed by Pomfrey." She nods to his response then thanking him for staying by her side.
They walk towards the Great Hall where everyone was seated for their final meal, every corner they took people were staring at her making her uncomfortable, did they know she was working with the Dark Lord or was it for another reason.
As they were walking down the corridor they bump into the trio, each had cuts and bruises of their own.
"Willow you're okay! I wasn't expecting you out of the wing yet!" Hermione says hugging the girl. Willow smiles and hugs back.
"Yeah Pomfrey wanted to keep me it but it is the last day of school and I wanted it to be as normal as can be." She pulls away and smiles at the two boys.
"Willow, thank you for helping me, you really proved that not all Slytherins are bad, you could have left me to fend for myself but you didn't, you were so brave so thank you." Harry says hugging her. Inside she felt guilty because she wasn't there to save him instead she was plotting to help the person who killed his parents.
"I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, I knew something was going on as Quirrell kept wanting to talk to me, wanting me to be near him, honestly he was so creepy. But now I guess we know why, thankfully it's over now, hopefully next year will be normal." Willow let go of the hug shortly after he attached himself to her, but laughed slightly as she commented about the next year.
"We better go anyway the feast is starting and I think having this many hospital trips in one year makes you hungry." Willow smiled, let out a small giggle and walked away.
The Great Hall was once again packed with students all sat at their house table, each chatting and waiting for the announcements to start.
Willow sat down at the Slytherin table with Blaise and faced towards the stage where Dumbledore usually stands.

Willows POV

This year has been well a rollercoaster, I've almost died, been bitten, been depressed and slowly lost myself. I still don't feel like myself and I don't think I ever will. The Dark Lord still on my mind about what he said, maybe I should stay with the Malfoys. I don't know yet, but what I do know is that I just want to see mum and dad now, but Azkaban is very funny about visitors.
"Willow, is it true what people have been saying about you? Saving Potter?" Draco says across the table.
"No one knows the full story Draco so leave it please, I don't wanna talk about it." Pansy sneers at my reply.
"I'm surprised you're not dating Harry since you two are so close." She says snarkily.
"You would think that wouldn't you Pansy, but I'm not like you clinging onto the first boy that shows interest in me, maybe you should give yourself a check in the mirror before you start accusing me of stuff like that." I say with a bitter taste in my mouth not wanting to argue.
Soon enough Dumbledore steps forward and begins his speech.
"Another year gone and now as i understand it the house cup must be rewarded and the points stand thus, in fourth place Gryffindor with 312 points, in third place Hufflepuff with 352 points, in second place Ravenclaw with 426 points and in first place with 472 points, Slytherin house!" Dumbledore calls out the scores and with each house called out claps and cheers can be heard around the hall, when suddenly another announcement stops us all from cheering.
"Yes well done Slytherin, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account and I have some last minute points to award. To Miss Hermione Granger, for cool use of intellect while others were in peril, fifty points. Second, to Mr Ronald Weasley for the best played game of chess Hogwarts has seen these many years, fifty points!" Okay now that one's bullshit.
"And to third, Mr Harry Potter for pure love and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor House 60 points!" Dumbledore pauses, this isn't fair, everyone knew what happened and yet they're praising them like martyrs.
"What about Willow?!" I heard someone call out. My eyes widen and my face turns red.
"Willow saved Harry, she pushed him out the way of getting hurt." Another voice called out.
"As I was getting on with the points before people interrupted. It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies and a great deal more to stand up to your friends, I award 10 points to Neville Longbottom." That now puts Gryffindor ahead of Slytherin. There were boos coming from the crowd all over the tables apart from Gryffindor, who was cheering.
"But as I said it does take a great deal to stand up to your enemies and Willow Slytherin did that, with protecting another student and throwing herself in the line of danger, showing bravery even in the way of death, I award Willow Slytherin thirty points!" Well I wasn't expecting that, there were groans coming from the Gryffindor table but the rest cheered and clapped.
"Now sadly there will be no change in decoration this year but the bravery of a Gryffindor and the ambition of a Slytherin truly worked together and I hope that in the future we can see more of that happening! Now let's enjoy the feast." Dumbledore waves his hands and the food appears on the table. I won points for Slytherin I won the house cup for Slytherin! I look over at my God father who was staring at me, I let off a soft smile which he returns.
I'm sure I've made my family proud bit ill make them more proud of me when I bring back the Dark Lord.
"Nice one Willow, it's a shame you had to help Potter to get the points." Draco says.
"Malfoy can I come and stay with you over the holidays I wanna tell you something that happened." I question lightly.
"Well Dracos stay-" Pansy went to say but got cut off.
"Of course, I'll let mum and dad know, you know they're more than happy to have you round." Draco says smiling. I give him a big grin back and get on with eating my food.
Well this is going to be an interesting summer.
