Okay, now it's my last time narrating for this book. So, I hope you enjoy this last chapter of The Chamber Of Secrets Through Another's Eyes.

So we got out of the Chamber using the brooms, which kinda squished us in the pipe, but at least we got out. We put the brooms back as we saw Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Lockhart going up to Dumbledore's office.

Xenia smiled at them. "I'm glad you guys are okay!"

"Thanks," Harry said, sort of smiling at us. Ron must've told him or something that we knew. They then walked away.

The three other girls and I leaned up against the wall then sighed.

"Well," Tess said, "that was a long day."

"Tell me about it," I said. I was about to say good night to them when I saw somebody I didn't expect to see, nor did I want to see.

I saw my father, Lucius Malfoy.

"Aura?" my father asked me. "What are you doing here?"

I stared at him. "Um, I kinda go to school here. Or did you forget about me?"

My father stared at me.

"And I could ask you the same question. What are you doing here, Dad?"

"I am here to speak to Professor Dumbledore since he is back to be your Headmaster."

"Good."

My father stared coldly into my eyes. I stared back at him.

"Um, Xenia? Tess? Morana?" I asked, looking at them. "Could you...could you please...?"

"Yeah, of course," Tess said. "Later, Aura."

"See you later, Aura," Xenia and Morana both said at the same time. They all walked away to go to the Great Hall.

"Aura -"

"No," I said. "I want you to listen to what I have to say for once. Please?"

My father just stared at me.

"I know...I know that you've always been disappointed in me. Because I was kind. Because I actually cared about Muggles and Muggle-borns. I know. And then you were even more disappointed in me when I got sorted into Gryffindor. But that's just who I am, okay?! Why can't you accept that?! I try to be nice to you, I try to love you, but I don't want to because you're a horrible person!" I wasn't quite sure why, but I was starting to get tears in my eyes. "I also like Dobby, our house elf, and I don't think we should have one. We shouldn't have a little slave."

I then saw Dobby come out from behind my dad. "Hello, Aura, ma'am," he said.

I was silent for a second before speaking again. "I know that you favor Draco over me because he's just as much of a jerk as you. He hates Muggles and Muggle-borns. He hates Dobby. He's everything you wanted in your children, isn't it? He took everything that you wanted your child to be, and the only thing I took was your last name... Mom loves me. She doesn't necessarily agree with my ways, but she loves me. Why can't you do the same thing?" I started crying even more. I wiped my tears off with my hands.

"Aura... Yes. I am disappointed in you because you aren't quite the way I wanted you to be. And no matter how heartless you think I am you need to know that I do love you. You are my daughter, and I love you. I know it might not always seem like it, but I do. I promise."

I looked up at my dad. "Really?"

"Yes. I do. And you are like the child I wanted. At least a little bit. But...I guess people don't always get what they wish."
