"I just want to say that today was the unhappiest day of my life!"
Beside the Gryffindor long table, Ron listlessly poked at his mashed potatoes with a fork, looking utterly dead inside.
The immensely enjoyable Hero King Championship had ended several days ago, and the final exam results for every subject had also been released.
