Ch20: Gigantic Feasts and Going Home

Sarah POV

It was very strange what happened when I was pulled out of the Chamber. I was tugged like a rope was tied around my waist, and when I was back with my body, I all I could feel was this tingling. It was like that feeling you get when you hear the sound of chalk on a chalkboard or someone scraping their nails on a pice of wood.

As the tingling feeling went on, I could distantly hear Amy's voice talking to me, she was telling me about how Bonnie and Ginny were taken and that Hogwarts was closing. But then when I woke up and explained everything that happened to Amy, Madam Pomfrey walked into the Hospital Wing with very distraught looking Bonnie and Ginny. Then, Hermione(yes, Hermione was awake too), Amy and I were allowed to talk to Bonnie for five minutes. Technically we spoke for ten minutes. But then Amy was told to leave and Hermione and I had to go back to our beds.

That didn't stop Hermione and I from talking about studying and exams and things for next year when Madam Pomfrey left. We split the curtains so that we could see each other. It's was good, but I wish we could have left. I really want to speak with Harry and Ron. Hopefully I can later.

But now, we're just chatting about what we should do during the summer quietly, so Madam Promfrey can't hear us much.

"We should definitely meet up. I don't care when but we have to. All of us, you, Bonnie, Harry, Ron and Amy."

"Yes, we have to." I say. "We could meet up at Diagon Alley or something and then stay there for like a week together."

"Great idea!"

Suddenly Madam Pomfrey comes in from behind the curtain.

"Girls, Professor Dumbledore has allowed you to go to the feast-"

"There's a feast?" I ask. "Why?"

"To celebrate of course! They have found the culprit behind your attacks and have called for a midnight feast."

"That's awesome!" I say, even though I know who the culprit is. "When can we go?"

"Once I give you one last check up." Madam Pomfrey replies.

After Madam Pomfrey bustles around giving checkups to everyone, we are allowed to go down to the feast. Even Bonnie and Ginny are allowed, but they choose not to. Poor Bonnie and Ginny.

I grab Hermione's wrist and we race down to the Great Hall, where everyone is in their pyjamas talking and eating all the magnificent food. I've never seen a feast this big, and trust me, the Hogwarts feats are huge!

I search the Gryffindor table and I see Harry, Ron, Amy, Fred and George sitting together.

I let go of Hermione's wrist and race down to where they are.

"Harry!" I yell, hugging him from behind.

He whips around. "Sarah! Oh my gosh, you're okay!" He says as he hugs me back.

"Of course I'm okay! You didn't think I was going to die did you?" I joke.

"Ha ha." Harry says sarcastically. "How are Bonnie and Ginny? Are they okay?"

"They're fine." Hermione says from behind me. "They were allowed to come, but they didn't want to."

"I can see why." Ron says. "They were both pretty distraught when we left the Chamber."

"They were when they came into the Hospital Wing." I say.

"Sit down both of you." Amy says, patting down beside her.

I take a seat next to Amy while Hermione goes next to Harry.

"Good to see you back, Sarah!" Fred and George yell over the table.

"Great to see you both too!" I reply.

The celebrations last all night with all the food and loud talking throughout the hall. The best thing of the whole night was Hagrid walking in at half-past three and giving us all a huge hug. Dumbledore announced that the culprit for all the attacks was caught and that Harry and Ron received 200 hundred points each securing the House Cup for Gryffindor. Also, he announced that all exams were cancelled.

This is quite bad, I like exams. They let me see if I'm any good at the subjects. But better luck next year. I also would have hoped that Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy all failed and wouldn't make it to third year. But, you can't have everything in life.

Dumbledore also announced that, unfortunately, Lockhart wouldn't be returning next year, as he need to go and get his memory back. Even the teachers started cheering at that piece of news.

Ron just made the night when he said, "Shame, Lockhart was really starting to grow on me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest of the summer term passes as a breeze. We spend most of the weekends running around in the sunshine on the grounds, or playing exploding snap in the common room.

"Sarah!" Hermione calls rushing into the common room one day while I am playing exploding snap with Bonnie.

"What?" I ask.

"McGonagall wants to see us both about next year." Hermione gasps.

"What's going on next year?" Bonnie asks.

"Oh it's just stuff about our classes." I tell her. "I've got to go, but I will be back to continue?"

"Yeah sure. I'll just play with Amy." Bonnie smiles.

Yeah, Bonnie has gotten back to normal from the whole Chamber business. She's happy and joining in on all the fun now, so does Ginny.

Together Hermione and I rush out of the common room and down to Professor McGonagalls office.

"Ah girls, you're here." McGonagall says as I close the door behind us, panting. We kinda ran here. "Please take a seat."

We take our seats and wait for McGoangall to speak again.

"So, about your classes for third year, you have both picked every class, correct?"

We nod our heads.

"Well, I have done a bit of thinking, and I'm sure, if you two will be careful-"

Hermione and I exchange looks. Careful?

"-Professor Dumbledore and I could persuade the Ministry of Magic to allow you both to use Time Turners next year."

"Time Turners?" I ask. I know what Time Turners are and how they work, but would the Ministry of Magic seriously allow us to use them? They are highly dangerous and they can damage the future. Plus people can be killed.

"Yes Miss Potter. I believe you do know what one is?" We both nod again. "This is the only way I can think of, other than you using your study and leisure time attending extra classes."

"But how will you be able to persuade the Ministry?" Hermione asks.

"Well, if you two sign this, it will inform the Ministry that you are both capable to handle the Time Turners and will use them for school use and only school use." McGonagall explains.

"But, we don't even know how to work them." I say.

"I will teach you how to use them, Miss Potter. You will use them to go back in time attend each class, as multiple of your classes will be running at the same time." She opens her drawer and gets out a piece of official looking parchment. "I will just need you both to sign here to allow you to use them."

I read through it and sign my name with the quill McGonagall provided where we are supposed to sign.

"You will also need to take take home this form for your parent or guardian to sign as well." McGonagall says handing us both another pice of parchment. "And I suppose you will also be getting permission to go to Hogsmead village next year as well."

"Is that all, Professor?" I ask.

"That is all. Off you go and enjoy the rest of the afternoon." McGonagall says, and ushers us out of the office.

I turn to Hermione. "Time Turners! They are really trusting us to use a Time Turners next year!"

"I know right. I wonder why they're going to trust two thirteen year olds with them. Only well-trained wizards are ever able to use them. They can really mess with time. You know some people have died while tampering with time? Like some people see their selves and die of shock. We have to be extremely careful, Sarah." Hermione says.

"We do." I agree. "Well, let's go back to the common room."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Together, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Bonnie, Amy and I spend the rest of the term attending the last classes, with free periods when we have Defence Against The Dark Arts.

And just one afternoon, when we have two free periods, we all go out into the summer sun to hang out by our favourite beech tree.

"So, Hermione and I were talking in the Hospital Wing before, and we were thinking that we should all meet up during the summer at Diagon Alley or something. You guys agree?" I say.

"Yeah!" They all reply in sync.

I think we're going to have a great summer. We're not going to miss each other's owls, and we are going to a great time together.

Let's just hope nothing bad will happen next year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon the term ends and we bid goodbye to Hogwarts.

It's now time to board the Hogwarts Express and leave the magical world. Well, back home anyway.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Bonnie, Amy, Fred, George, Ginny and I get a compartment all to ourselves. We made the most of the last few hours we have to use magic before the holidays. We played Exploding Snap, setting off the last of Fred and George's Filibuster Fireworks-which I might add annoyed a few people on the train-and practiced disarming each other. I have to admit, Harry and I are getting pretty good at disarming.

The train soon slows down and stops at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. Before we're about to leave, Harry gets out a quill and piece of parchment. He scribbles down something, and tears it up into three pieces. He hands the three pieces to Hermione, Amy and Ron.

"Guys, this is a telephone number." He explains to Ron and Amy. "I told your Dad how to use a telephone last summer, Ron. And Amy, if you have a telephone, you can call the Dursley's, or just send an owl. Promise you'll call, Sarah, Bonnie we should be able to hang out all through the summer too."

Amy and Ron nod, taking the slips of parchment.

"Your Aunt and Uncle will be proud though won't they?" Hermione asks, as we all get off the train and onto the platform, joining the crowd moving toward the enchanted barrier. "When they hear what you did this year?"

"Proud?" Harry says. "Are you mad? All those times I could have died and didn't manage? They'll be furious..."

We all laugh as we leave through the barrier and back to the Muggle world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE END!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N

ANOTHER END!

Sorry this chapter was short, but I said last chapter it would be.

Anywho, I've had fun writing this book, and I look forward to writing the next books. I am looking forward to writing the third book, as...I'm not going to put spoilers.

So, does anyone have ideas they would like for the third book? Or anything you want to see more of(Amy POV(or anyone else), pranks, ship moments)?

Also, I didn't forget about the competition, I only got two entries :( so, those two users will be getting prizes. I was kinda hoping for more entries...oh well.

So I shall be getting to writing the next book, but I'm not positive on when it will be up(sorry).

But, so long!

Hugs and Butterfly Kisses,

~Elise
