The Gryffindors win the challenge that night when Niall and Cher sneak off to Hogsmeade for a date at the Shrieking Shack. Louis is cheerfully smug about the whole thing for the rest of the night, and the Slytherins are all sulking. Honestly, Liam doesn’t really care about winning. He’s got Zayn on his left, a hand on his thigh as they eat, and Liam figures that he won a long, long time ago.
The next day Liam is definitely seeing the upside to winning, though. All of the seventh year Slytherins enter the Great Hall in gold and red. The other houses snicker and laugh at them, and the Gryffindors are all smug about it. There’s something really satisfying about the whole thing.

“Here is good,” Louis says. He smirks as the three of them carefully lower their wands. The table still falls to the ground with a booming, crunching sound. Nothing’s broken that Liam can see, though. “They’re all going to head inside for breakfast tomorrow, and they’ll be so fucking confused.”
“This is the dumbest prank ever,” Liam tells him.
“You don’t understand true genius, Liam,” Louis says hotly. “Which is why you can head back to the Great Hall and get the Slytherin banners from the …show more content…
He makes it to the Great Hall without incident, removes the Slytherin tapestries from the ceiling, and bunches them up in his arms. They’re heavier than they look, and he struggles to carry them out the door and into the hall, just as he hears a pair of footsteps.
“Shit,” Liam breathes. Technically he’s already graduated, and he knows he can’t get detention or anything, but if he manages to get expelled on his last day of school, he has a feeling that any potential employers won’t be very pleased with him.
Liam adjusts the cloth over his shoulder and bolts for the nearest door. It’s a small closet with nothing but a few brooms and other cleaning supplies, which he learns as soon as he lights his
