Finally, Tate moved to the front of the crowd and held up his hands for attention. "The last task was hotly contested, but we have finally come to a decision. First, let me say that all 12 of our champions were amazing, and that our final three have performed admirably all through the tournament. I'm proud of how everyone has behaved and competed, and I hope we will have an equally amazing tournament in a few years."
He waited a moment to be sure everyone was hearing before continuing. "I'm proud to announce that this year's Triwizard Champion, with a total of 382 points, is Duncan Fletcher. The final scores were closely contested, with Raiden Kururugi receiving 373 points and Noel Laurent receiving 366 points. Please join me in a round of applause for all our champions."
Before anyone could really begin to clap, Tate raised his hand one last time. "And in honor of our champion and really... all the champions, we will be holding the awarding of the Triwizard Cup at an End of Term costume ball. Get your costumes ready, and we will be celebrating in style in a few days. And now... our champion."
There was much cheering mixed with sighs of relief as the tournament ended with absolutely no casualties. The costume ball that followed was enjoyed by all of the students, including the champions from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons.
When the fun ended, students went back to their studies and suddenly it was time for the dreaded OWL and NEWT exams.
