Third Person POV

(Y/N) woke up bright and early, something she usually wouldn't do, but she was desperate to know what happened last night. Hermione seemed to be up as well, but trembling.

"Hermione!" (Y/N) called out, scrambling out of her bed to join Hermione on hers. Hermione however, did not answer.

"Hermione, what happened? You won't believe what happened with me! Neville, he knew! Malfoy, he was planning everything and --"

"I know." Hermione said, very quietly (Y/N) had to strain her ears to hear her, her voice being barely above a whisper.

"You do?"

"We got caught. Neville as well." Hermione said, now speaking up. She explained everything, about them leaving the invisibility cloak, Malfoy being caught, Neville coming along and what seemed to be horrific to Hermione, losing fifty house points, each.

"Fifty?! But -- our Quiddich match! All the points we earned, she can't -"

"She has," she replied, looking down, "I'm going to keep my head low in classes today. I expect news will start spreading."

"Oh it's all my fault! I could've stopped Neville! Fifty points less would have been taken." (Y/N) cried, throwing her arms in the air.

" 'S too late now. I'm not sure I want to go to breakfast."

(Y/N) frowned. "No. You're going to breakfast! And we'll earn our points back! You're really good in class so it'll be easy."

"Yes but I plan on raising my hand less. It'll draw too much attention."

"Then I'll do it for you. And I'll make sure I'm adressed as Hermione Granger whilst I'm at it." (Y/N) added, this seemed to cheer Hermione up as the two went down for breakfast

At first, Gryffindors passing the giant hourglasses that recorded the house points the next day thought there'd been a mistake. How could they suddenly have a hundred and fifty points fewer than yesterday?

And then the story started to spread: Harry Potter, the famous Harry Potter, their hero of two Quidditch matches, had lost them all those points, him and a couple of other stupid first years.
From being one of the most popular and admired people at the school, Harry was suddenly the most hated.

Even Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs turned on him, because everyone had been longing to see Slytherin lose the house cup. Everywhere Harry went, people pointed and didn't trouble to lower their voices as they insulted him. Slytherins, on the other hand, clapped as he walked past them, whistling and cheering,

"Thanks Potter, we owe you one!"Only Ron and (Y/N) stood by him.

"They'll all forget this in a few weeks. Fred and George have lost loads of points in all the time they've been here, and people still like them."
