//------------------------------// // owls, battle and house cup(but mainly house cup) // Story: Rainbow Dash's adventures at Hogwarts // by GRYFFINDOR123456 //------------------------------// Chapter 9: OWLs, a battle and the house cup Today was the first day of exams. Blaise and Hermione were walking to the Great Hall together, revising, burying their noses in their books. It was Charms today. Sunset was talking to Rainbow Dash about their favourite video game, the Rise of Tirek. Twilight glared at the 2 girls, then returned to revising. A bell rang and they sat down in their seats. It was the final day of exams, a History of Magic. Harry was bored. He shut his eyes to think, but then instead, he saw Voldemort torturing Sirius. Harry was trembling. Hermione had grasped his arm. "You okay?" asked Hermione, helping him up. "Just saw Sirius get tortured in the department of mysteries." said Harry, trying to stay calm. "But what if it's one of Voldemort's tricks?" asked Blaise. "What if he's trying to lure you there?" "Then we're gonna check," said Rainbow Dash. "Leave this to us. We'll make distractions. Pinkie, AJ, Sun and I will distract Umbridge. Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville, you distract Draco and his cronies. Blaise, keep guard on Umbridge's office. That leaves you both to get to Sirius. Rarity, Twilight, I need you to get to the east wing. Make a shield to block." "Right." said Rarity. "Come on, Twi." Harry and Hermione ran into Umbridge's office. Harry threw floo powder into the fire. He stuck his head in. "12 grimmauld place!" Kreacher was there. "Master has gone!" Kreacher croaked. Harry pulled his head out of the fire, coughing and spluttering. The mane 7 drew their wands on Umbridge and the Inquisitorial squad. "If you hurt Harry or Hermione," threatened Rainbow Dash, "You'll get the worst. If you don't, then you're okay." "Dash." warned Sunset, elbowing the multi colored haired girl. "You could get detention." "Do I look like I care?" asked Rainbow Dash, fuming. "All I want is to see my boyfriend safe." " I know. I get you." said Sunset softly. Harry looked at Hermione. Umbridge pushed him roughly into a chair. "Tell me. What have you been doing? Who have you been talking to?" Hermione answered the question. "Professor Dumbledore, Headmistress. We're trying to tell him about our secret weapon but he's gone and oh we've searched everywhere." "Malfoy!" cried Umbridge. "Fetch Snape now." Malfoy hurried out of the room to get Snape. "Professor Snape," said Umbridge sweetly. "Do you have any more veritaserum? Potter isn't telling me anything." "You used the last on Miss Chang." "WAIT!" shouted Harry, holding out his hand to stop Snape. "Professor Snape, Padfoot. In danger. Snuffles. Please." "Potter. Whatever you are talking about, please stop." said Snape. "Dolores, you have someone who can read minds in this very room. With one touch." Sunset was horrified, as she realised Snape was talking about her. "No, no, no, no, NO! Not me!" she screamed, backing away. "I only use my powers in dire situations, like finding out who sucked my friends into a magical mirror at the Canterlot Movie Theatre, remember? Or trying to find who took your memories, unfortunately the culprit erased the entire afternoon. Or Star Swirled, remember?" Umbridge dragged Sunset to Harry and laid her hand on Harry's hand. Her eyes gleamed white, as she saw Harry's thoughts. "Well, Shimmer?" asked Umbridge Sunset sighed. "Harry wanted to speak to Dumbledore." she said flatly. "It's true!" Twilight had an idea. "Professor, we'd like to show you where the weapon is. Hermione, lead the way." Rainbow Dash knew what Twilight was doing. After distracting Umbridge, Hermione, Harry and Twilight met up with the others on the bridge. "We fly, of course," said Rainbow Dash, as though the answer was obvious. They arrived at the Department of mysteries, running. They entered the prophecy room. "Hey, Harry!" cried Blaise. "There's something with your name on." Harry raised an eyebrow. "My name?" he said, confused. As soon as Harry touched it, death eaters appeared. "Stupefy!" cried Hermione. "Everte!" said Twilight "RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" yelled Ginny. "REDUCTO!" They didn't need telling twice. Rainbow Dash flew above them, distracting. "Come on!" cried Rainbow Dash. They kept running. Black air wrapped around them all, except Harry and Rainbow Dash. Lucius Malfoy spoke. "Give me that prophecy, Potter. Or watch your friends die the hard way." "Don't give it to him!" yelled Neville, struggling against Bellatrix. "Silence!" said Bellatrix. Harry looked from his friends to the glass orb in his hand. "No. Hey, Dash! Catch!" Harry threw the orb and Rainbow Dash caught it like a seeker. Then Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Moody and Kingsley came. "Don't come near my Godson!" said Sirius, punching Lucius Malfoy. The Death Eaters started to duel the Order members. Rainbow Dash tried to throw the orb back to Harry but she dropped it. The orb fell with a loud clatter, dust escaping out. "Born at the end of the 7th month…" said a misty voice. "Has powers the dark lord knows not…" Then the mist stopped speaking, as everyone started shouting. "Confringo!" cried Blaise, at Macnair. "GINNY!" yelled Luna. "Is your ankle alright?" Harry's green eyes widened as he saw Sirius die. "SIRIUS!" Harry ran after Bellatrix, cursing, Dumbledore following behind. Voldemort appeared. Bellatrix ran to a floo, cackling Dumbledore and Voldemort were duelling, Dumbledore winning. Harry lay on the floor, weak. Voldemort was trying to possess Harry, not succeeding because Harry was grieving for Sirius. Dumbledore sent them back to Hogwarts where they would be safe. The house cup was nearly upon them. In 4th place was Gryffindor. 3rd, Hufflepuff 2nd, Ravenclaw 1st, Slytherin. Dumbledore stood up. "I'd like to make a few announcements. Yesterday, fourteen 5th years went to the Ministry to fight Voldemort, who is back. Therefore, for their bravery I award: 50 points to Gryffindor each to Miss Ginny Weasley, Mr Ronald Weasley, Mr Neville Longbottom, Miss Hermione Granger, Miss Applejack Apple and Miss Twilight Sparkle. I also award 60 points for Gryffindor to Mr Harry Potter for his bravery and 60 points to Miss Rainbow Dash for her loyalty. I also award 50 points to Ravenclaw each to Miss Luna Lovegood and Miss Rarity Belle. I will also award 50 points to Hufflepuff each to Miss Fluttershy Shy and Miss Pinkie Pie. Finally, 50 points each to Mr Blaise Zabini and Miss Sunset Shimmer. I think a change of decorations is needed, what do you think? GRYFFINDOR WIN!" All the Gryffindor students cheered. Applejack and Rainbow Dash clung onto each other and danced a country dance. Neville and Hermione grinned and then unlike responsible 5th years, they did a hip hop dance with Harry and Ron. McGonagall gave them all daggers, telling them to be quiet and sit down. Dumbledore then waved his wand and red gold hangings hung from above and a lion statue was in the middle of the hall. "Um, Professor?" asked Blaise nervously. "Can I make an announcement? Quickly?" "Yes, Mr Zabini. Please go ahead." said Dumbledore. Blaise sighed. "When I first met Sunset Shimmer at the Yule Ball, she showed me true friendship and kindness. When I needed help, she was always there for me." He dropped down onto one knee. "Sunset Reginald Shimmer. You are the sweetest girl I have ever met. You are kind, loving, loyal and above all, brave. Will you- will you marry me?" The other girls smirked, especially Rainbow Dash, who smirked the biggest smirk she ever smirked. "Ah knew this was coming." whispered Applejack to Rainbow Dash. "Me too." said Rainbow Dash Sunset started to cry, bringing her hands up to her mouth to hide the gasp. "Yes!" she squeaked, throwing herself into Blaise's arms. Awws came their way. Sunset and Blaise stood up. He gently placed the golden ring on her ring finger, on her right hand. 2 weeks later, at Blaise's house, in a marquee, all the Rainbooms, and the silver and golden trio were invited. Blaise also invited Draco and Pansy and Millicent Bulstrode. "Do you, Blaise William Zabini, promise to keep to Miss Sunset Reginald Shimmer and declare you are bonded for life?" "I do." they said simultaneously. The little man stood up. He waved golden sparkles over them. "Then I declare you are bonded for life." "Congratulations!" cried Rarity. "I honestly thought I'd be the first person to get a boyfriend. You look nice." "Thanks," said Sunset. "A very special friend insisted on making it." Rarity laughed. "Me. You wanna get your guitar and play something?" "Yeah!" cried Sunset, laughing. "Race ya to the stage!" Sunset got her electric guitar and tuned it. The girls stood on the stage. "Ready to play?" asked Rainbow Dash "Yeah!" shouted the others. "1...2...1-2-3-4!" cried Pinkie Pie, bringing them on cue The Equestria Girls were ready to rock and roll!
