Thank You

Harry, Fawkes and I exited the Chamber together. We went by the snake skin and approached a wall of rocks.

"Woah," I chuckled. "You came in with a bang."

"Not us," Harry chuckled.

"Cedric," Harry yelled. "Kay's okay! I've got her!"

"CEDRIC," I cried out.

I saw Cedric's face appear out of a small hole at the top.

"KAY," He cried.

He extended a hand out for me to climb through the wall. I chuckled.

"Everyone stand back," I chuckled. "Take cover."

I pulled my wand out from my robes and pointed it at the clutter.

"BOMBARDA!"

The pile of rocks had been blasted back creating a clearing for Harry and I to walk through.

"I feel stupid now," Cedric said.

I ran towards my big brother and hugged him tightly.

"You're alive. I don't believe it. What happened? How what where did that bird come from," Cedric asked.

Fawkes had landed on my shoulder.

"He's Dumbledore's," I chuckled.

"How come you've got a sword," Ron asked.

"I'll explain when we get out of here," Harry said.

"But," Jake began.

"Later," Harry said. "Where's Lockhart?"

"Lockhart's here," I groaned.

"Back there," Cedric said. "He's in a bad condition. Come and see."

We walked all the way back to the pipe of the mouth. Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting there, humming to himself.

"His memory's gone," Ron said. "The Memory Charm backfired. Hit him instead of us. Hasn't got a clue who he is, or where he is, or who we are. I told him to come here and wait. He's a danger to himself."

"Hello," Lockhart said. "Odd sort of place, this, isn't it? Do you live here?"

"No," The boys snapped.

"Have you thought how we're going to get back up this," Cedric asked as he protectively wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

Fawkes hopped off my shoulder and stood in front of me.

"He looks like he wants you to grab hold," Jake said. "But you're much too heavy for a bird to pull up there—"

"Fawkes, isn't an ordinary bird. We've got to hold onto each other. Cedric grab my hand. Harry grab Cedric's other hand. Ron grab Harry's other hand. Jake grab Ron's other hand and Lockhart," I said.

"She means you," Jake said.

"You hold onto Jake's other hand," I finished.

Harry tucked the sword into the Sorting Hat into his belt. Together we grabbed each other's hands and flew upward. We all hit the bathroom floor. Cedric helped me up and smiled.

"I'm glad your safe baby sis," he smiled.

"Me too," I chuckled.

Riddle was wrong, Cedric loves me. The sink had slid back into place.
