THE LONELY GATE HOUSE
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 17
The students gathered in the great hall for the end of the year feast. Sasporilla sat beside Karry at the Hufflepuff table talking about the house elves of Droorlily and the wonders Harminster had shown her.
"So you really are royalty amongst the elves?" Karry asked.
"Apparently so." Sassy smiled. "A princess until my uncle passes.
"Queen Sasporilla of the elves." Karry said bowing. "Your majesty!"
"Oh stop you." Sasporilla laughed. "A crown is not something I covet."
"Attention students!" Headmistress McGonagall called out bringing everyone to order. "Before I announce the winner of the house cup I'd like to take this moment to say goodbye to our guest students from Droorlily. You've been most delightful and you will be missed."
Everyone applauded graciously. The Irish students were more than ready to head home to their familiar homes on the Emerald Isle.
"Now the house points." Professor McGonagall said. "In last place this year Ravenclaw with three hundred and thirty seven points. In third place is Gryffindor with four hundred and ten points. In second place is Hufflepuff with five hundred and eighty nine points! And the winner of this years house cup Slytherin with six hundred and twenty five points!"
The Slytherins cheered and blew raspberry's at the other houses. Sasporilla and Karry looked over at the Slytherins and flipped them off with a laugh.
"Not to diminish the win of the house cup by Slytherin but we have another presentation tonight." Professor McGonagall said.
The doors to the great hall burst open to the echo of a wild Irish howl and a flurry of Celtic music. A delegation from Droorlily had arrived, no doubt to bring their students home. The procession was lead by Headmaster O'Carrol and contained most of the Droorlily staff and House Elves! An Irish band played them in, Wendy Murphy playing an Irish drum called a Bodhrán. Wendy smiled at Sassy as they marched by. Sasporilla noticed a shy smile on professor Sprouts face as Professor O'Dowd gave her the wink.
"Hello students a Hogwarts." Headmaster O'Carrol said standing at the podium before the school. "I am Professor O'Carrol, da headmaster at Droorlily."
The Hogwarts students applauded politely.
"Dats nice." Headmaster O'Carrol smiled. "If I could award Hufflrpuff one t'ousand points I would but I can't cause I don't have da fekin' authority ta do so. Every few years a student at Droorlily distinguishes demselves as somethin' really special through study, hard work, bravery or exceptional moral fiber. Well one such student did just dat dis year. She free'd a rare Emerald dragon from da trsps of a poacher and saved my arse from a muggles bullet. I owe her my life and we owe her dis honour. Please come to da front.... Sasporilla Bucket!"
Sasporilla stood up and walked forward. Every eye was on her. Melvin started to applauded and the other students followed suit. Sassy stepped up to the podium beside headmaster O'Carrol who gave the pink haired witch a hug then pulled a medal from a leather box carried by Professor O'Dowd.
"Sasporilla Imaginarium Bucket," Professor O'Carrol said Holding up the gold medal on emerald an green ribbon. "I'd like to present you with the Droorlily Medal of Honour."
"Thank you Headmaster O'Carrol," Sasporilla smiled, "but I don't think I deserve this over Michael Kellys memory. He died an unwitting pawn in his fathers nefarious greedy schemes. I think he should be awarded this medal posthumously as he lost his life. All I did was try to shove you out of the way and got hit in the process."
"Highest o' moral fiber!" Headmaster O'Carrol announced and hung the medal around Sasporillas neck against her protests. "Don't ya worry girl, a local sculptor is makin' us a statue t' comemorate da memory of Michael Kelly. He'll be honoured and remembered fer his sacrafices da same way you should be fer yours. No accept da medal graciously ya fekin' dopey gobshyte!"
"Headmaster O'Carrol!" Headmistress McGonagall gasped.
"It's alright Headmistress." Sasporilla said. "I quite like and respect you to Headmaster O'Carrol."
Professor McGonagall stood shocked. Headmaster O'Carrol turned and smiled. "See Minerva," Headmaster O'Carrol chuckled, "she learned de fekin'language!"
