The Headmaster might have approved, to some degree, of the Boy Who Lived’s open-mindedness in making friends with Slytherins, but it didn’t stop him stealing the house cup win from Slytherin at the last minute at the end-of-year feast. There were some token points for herself and Theo, but even more for Harry, Ron, and for some obscure reason, Neville Longbottom. The man’s Light bias was showing, badly. No-one in Slytherin blamed her or Theo for not getting more points – the Headmaster’s determined manipulation in boosting the golden boy’s standing in his House was just too obvious. And it looked like Longbottom was a bit of a pet of his too. It seemed to have brought the walking potions disaster a temporary burst of camaraderie and acclaim from his fellow lions, at least.
