Harry limps past the Basilisk's corpse, and, dropping the sword and falling to his knees, he crawls towards Ginny once more as Riddle walks toward them.
Lily and Iris start tearing up seeing him hurt and crawling to Ginny.
Molly squealed loudly making many cover their ears as she said "What a cute couple!" Making many send her incredulous looks thinking now is not the time to be thinking such things. Meanwhile, Draco starts to stand up ready to kill the bitch as it is very obvious Harry is with him. Harry smirks liking his jealous side before pulling him back down and reassuring Draco that he only loves him.
Riddle smiles in satisfaction that his pal is working "Remarkable, isn't it? How quickly the venom of the Basilisk penetrates the body. I guess you have little more than a minute to live. You'll be with your dear Mudblood mother soon, Harry. [Harry extends his left hand to Ginny's again] Funny... the damage a silly little book can do... especially in the hands of a silly little girl. [Harry looks to the diary in Ginny's arm and carefully pulls it out, placing it on the floor between her and the Basilisk fang] What are you doing? [Harry picks up the Basilisk fang and holds it up while staring at Riddle, who immediately realizes what Harry is about to do] STOP. NO!"
James jumps up from his seat beyond proud of his son's fast thinking and pumps his fist up excitedly while yelling "That's my son!"
Harry smiles happily seeing his father proud of him because that is all he ever wanted was to make his parents and Iris proud. Iris always assured him they were but actually seeing it was so much better.
Harry stabs one of the diary's pages with the fang as Riddle steps forward to try and stop him; Riddle's body crumbles and gives a discharge of yellow light; ink starts to ooze from the diary, Riddle recoils and growls with rage; Harry pries the fang out. Riddle attempts to attack, but Harry stabs the other page, crippling Riddle, and causing him to crumble further; Harry closes the diary and stabs the cover with the Basilisk fang; Riddle screams in agony and explodes into yellow particles; shortly after Riddle's demise, Ginny awakens, hyperventilating, and sits up.
Harry whispers "Ginny."
Ginny turned to face him "Harry, it was me. But, I swear, I didn't mean to... Riddle made me. And... [notices Harry's injury] Harry... you're hurt."
Rebekah holds her hand to her heart feeling horrible for the young girl on screen wishing she could hug her and tell her everything would be ok.
Harry covering his wound "Don't worry. Ginny, you need to get yourself out. Follow the Chamber, and you'll find Ron. [Fawkes emits his song again; Harry and Ginny both look down the corridor to see him flying towards them; he swoops around the Basilisk's body, and lands in between them, then step over to Harry] You were brilliant, Fawkes. I just wasn't quick enough. [Fawkes emits a soft grunt, then lowers his head to Harry's wound, and cries on it; the wound miraculously disappears; Ginny stares in amazement] Of course! [lifting his healed arm] Phoenix tears have healing powers. [Fawkes grunts affirmatively as Harry glances at him] Thanks. [looks at Ginny] It's all right, Ginny. It's over. It's just a memory."
Sirius blows his nose making many looks towards him seeing him crying on Remus's shoulder with Elijah's handkerchief. Sirius then offers it back to Elijah who tries to hide his grimace of disgust and tells Sirius to keep it. Sirius nods in thanks before going back to crying mumbling "How it's so sad!"
Fawkes then flies Lockhart, Ron, Harry, and Ginny out of the Chamber of Secrets. Lockhart is yelling in excitement as they go "Amazing! This is just like magic!"
Harry and Ron stand before Professor Dumbledore in his office, with Fawkes on his perch, and the sword and Sorting Hat resting on the desk. "You both realize, of course, that in the past few hours, you have broken, perhaps, a dozen school rules."
