The Chamber Has Been Sealed!
"(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Get up!" You were a awakened by your friend Isabelle, shaking you roughly. You rubbed your eyes, sleepily. She sat back on your bed, eyeing you impatiently. You groaned, pulling yourself up into a sitting position. You sighed, arching your back.
"What? Why the hell are you waking me up so early?" You growled. She smiled, making you roll your eyes. You swung your legs over the side of the bed knowing she'd make you get up anyways.
"Dumbledore wants us all in the Great Hall! They're ending term early! They're ending term tonight! (Y/N)! They caught the Heir of Slytherin!" You started at her in disbelief. Just 2 weeks ago Cedric had reassured you they would catch the culprit. You beamed happily. They wouldn't be closing Hogwarts! Isabelle peered back at you, ecstatic.
You and Isabelle were soon joined by the rest of the Slytherin House has you rushed down to the Great Hall. The staff members sat at the long table in the front of the room, chattering excitedly. You slid into a seat in between Adrian and Terence who both enveloped you in a warm embrace. You smiled hugging them back.
All around you, students filed into the Hall. This wasn't going to be like any other End of Term Feast. This year you had a much bigger reason to celebrate. Students piled onto the benches of their House Tables, still dressed in their pajamas, but there was no mistaking the happiness and excitement that was plastered on everyone's faces.
Dumbledore stepped up to the podium and the boisterous conversations fell silent. Your headmaster peered down his crooked nose at all of your excited faces and beamed. He cleared his throat before beginning his infamous End of Term Speech.
"I welcome you all to another fantastic feast! But if you've not heard, tonight's feast is one worth celebrating! Because tonight, the Heir of Slytherin has been caught! The Chamber has been sealed!" The entire room fell into a flurry of applause. Dumbledore smiled once again and continued with his speech. "Yes! It's an exciting day! We have put an end to the Heir of Slytherin and just minutes ago we sealed the entrance to the Chamber with the most powerful magic there is! Along with this great accomplishment, we were able to revive those who had been petrified with the help of Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout! And as a special treat I have agreed to cancel all End of Term exams in light of recent events!" The hall once again erupted into a fit of cheers, as students hugged one another in pure excitement. You smiled to yourself.
"However, we would not be sitting here tonight, having this great celebration, without the heroic acts of Mr. Harry Potter and Mr. Ronald Weasley! These 2 brave young men risked their lives to save our school and did so successfully. They will both be given awards for saving our school and I award Gryffindor house, 400 points! Now let the feast begin! Happy end of term! " Student's mouths fell open in shock as the Gryffindors burst into applause and cheers. You smiled despite yourself. They deserved it.
Out of the corner of your eye you saw your boyfriend blow you delicate kiss. You grinned and he shot a you a look as if to say I told you everything would work out. Food and drink filled the cups and platters all around you. You filled your plate as your friends began heated discussions. Most of your House was angry that you hadn't won the House Cup. You had to admit you were disappointed but Harry and Ron had saved the school. They had saved you from returning home to your father. And for that they deserved to win.
You made a mental note to congratulate and thank them later as Terence began talking your ear. You turned toward him, trying your best to seem interested. "Can you believe they won? It's that stupid Potter. Without him those Gryffindors would be in deep trouble. Especially since those twins are always losing House Points." You scoffed.
"Funny that you mentioned that because I didn't hear you complaining about Weasley when you teamed up with Fred to break my boyfriend's face and his ribs," you growled quietly. Terence's face contorted into a deeper scowl as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. You shook your head and turned to face Adrian. You were tired of Terence's excuses. He was so difficult.
"Who do you suspect the Heir of Slytherin was?" Adrian asked gently, sensing your anger. You thought for a moment. Who was the Heir of Slytherin?
"I don't know. Dumbledore didn't mention it. But I don't really care. I suppose I'm curios and all but I'm just glad that they were able to put a stop to whoever it was. Honestly, I'm just glad they're not closing the school." Adrian nodded in agreement.
"Me too! We're nothing without this school! Imagine a world without Hogwarts." You both started off into space, imagining. You both shuddered and then burst out laughing. Adrian smiled as you struggled to catch your breath. You loved Adrian just as much as you loved Higgs. Even if Terence was annoying the hell out of you, he was your best friend.
"Imagine a world where we didn't play Quidditch every day!" You exclaimed. Terence snorted again as you grinned. He grabbed your arm to steady himself against his laughter. Your eyes instantly fluttered to your boyfriend. He was too immersed in a conversation with a first year to notice Adrian's hand trained on your arm. You sighed in relief.
"Wouldn't that be the end of the world for you (Y/N/N)! You wouldn't be team captain anymore! No more Queen of Slytherin!" You rolled your eyes in annoyance. You opened your mouth to respond but someone cleared their throat from behind you. You whirled around and almost died of shock. Professor Snape started down at you. His usual scowl coating his dull features. He looked from you to Adrian and then handed you a piece of parchment, walking away without a single word. You stared at him confused before shaking your head.
You unfolded the parchment and what you read shocked and confused you more than anything. Adrian tried to read over you shoulder, but you pushed him away quickly. You sighed heavily, rereading the cursive writing over and over again. Professor Dumbledore has requested to see you after the feast in his office. The password is Sherbet Lemon. Good luck.
