He cast a Vanishing Charm, and the green and golden frogs that remained in the classroom disappeared, leaving the class free of frogs and any bits of chocolate splattered around. "That's -" Fifteen points each to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor? Both houses had shown equal spirit and co-operation, the two factors he had been looking for, aside from good casting. Equal competitiveness too, even though he hadn't meant for that to be the focus. But then, even if he couldn't pick a clear winner, Ravenclaw had managed to save a little more of their chocolate frogs than Gryffindor. "Twenty points to Ravenclaw and fifteen to Gryffindor for spirit and co-operation."

AND a Ravenclaw hit her with 2 of her own froggies....yeah a reward for effort....yeah 5 points to each of us for effort!!!
