The Day He Stole My Heart *COMPLETED*

Chapter 12- Dumbledore's Office/ The End of the Year

SCARLET'S POV

After we made it back to Hogwarts; the five of us were immediately sent to Dumbledore's office: McGonagall was escorting us. Walking up the steps towards Dumbledore's office Lockhart wouldn't shut up about how amazing Hogwarts was.
"Amazing! The pictures move and everything!" my eye twitched when he stopped to view one of the paintings that had Dumbledore reading on it.
"How wonderful! the stairs move to!-" I finally snapped.
"Lockhart if you don't shut up I'm going to throw you off of this castle" I growled; he instantly shut up as the others laughed.
Looking over I saw Dobby walking around with Lucius Malfoy. So that's his master; I watched as Malfoy kicked Dobby when he wasn't walking fast enough. I narrowed my eyes at him; what a prick.
Then I turned and continued up the stairs. Finally, we reached the door to his office and opened it.
"He's waiting for you four" McGonagall said before she left. We all looked at each other before walking in and finding Dumbledore at his desk. We stopped in front; Lockhart beginning to look through his stuff as Dumbledore got up.
"You four realize, of course, that in the past few hours you have broken perhaps a dozen school rules? " he asked,
" Yes sir " we all replied,
" And there is sufficient evidence to have you three expelled. " he stated,
" Yes sir " we said once again,
"Therefore, it is only fitting, that you both receive Special Awards for Services to the School. " we all gasped in shock, what?
"Thanks sir! " we all said, he smiled.
"And now, Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Evens if you would, have an owl deliver these release papers to Azkaban? I believe we- we want our gamekeeper back." They both nodded before taking the parcel from his hand and walking out. Dumbledore looked back at us
"Harry... first, I want to thank you. You must have shown me real loyalty down in the Chamber, you too Scarlet. Nothing but that could have called Fawkes to you two." He paused
" And second, I sense that something is troubling you. Am I right, Harry? " Dumbledore finished, Harry's eyes widened.
"It's just... You see, sir I- I couldn't help but notice certain things, certain- certain similarities, between Tom Riddle and I" Harry replied

"I see. Well, you can speak Parseltongue, Harry. Why? Because Lord Voldemort can speak Parseltongue. If I'm not mistaken, Harry, he transferred some of his powers to you the night he gave you that scar. " I nodded, it makes sense,
"So Voldemort transferred some of his powers to me? " Harry asked,
"Not intentionally but yes" he replied,
"So the Sorting Hat was right! I should be in Slytherin. " Harry stated as he looked down,
"It's true, Harry. You possess many of the qualities that Voldemort himself prizes. Determination, resourcefulness, and if I may say so, a certain disregard for the rules. Why then did the Sorting Hat place you in Gryffindor? " Harry looked at him,
"Because I asked it to? " Dumbledore nodded,
"Exactly, Harry! Exactly! Which makes you different from Voldemort. It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices." Harry smiled at Dumbledore; nodding.
Dumbledore then walked around to his desk and retreved a sward from the table.
"Oh and Mrs. Jones I suggest that you look more closely at this. Be careful. " I looked down and grabbed the sward from him, I looked
at it and realized that there was writing across the sward.
"Godric Gryffindor " I read,
"Ah- it would take a true Gryffindor to pull that out of the hat. I know that you sometimes doubt yourself but like
I said it takes a true Gryffindor to take that out of that hat " I smiled at him as Harry and I walked out of his office, he helped
me feel confident, and I think he helped Harry out as well. But before we left I looked over and saw the diary lying on the table; an idea came to mind. Quickly grabbing the diary I saw Dumbledore smile; does he know what I'm about to do?
"Why did you grab that?" Harry asked; I smirked
"You see" I quickly took off one of my socks and shoved it between one of the pages.
"Let's go!" I exclaimed; running down the hall that I had seen Malfoy and Dobby go.
We eventually caught up with them; Harry seeing them as well.

"Dobby! So this is your master! The family you serve is the Malfoys. " Dobby and I's eyes widen when Harry said that; Malfoy narrowed his eyes and looked at Dobby sharply.
"uh... " Dobby replied, Malfoy slapped him; shutting him up.
"I'll deal with you later. Out of my way, Potter! Jones!" He tried to walk around us when I stopped him.
" Wait! Mr. Malfoy, I have something of yours. " he stopped and looked at me,
"Mine? I don't know what you're talking about " He denied, ha I'm not that stupid,
"Oh, I think you do, sir. I think you slipped the diary into Ginny Weasley's cauldron, that day at Diagon Alley. " I replied smartly, he grabbed the diary from my hands and looked at it before scowling.
"You do, do you? Why don't you prove it? Come, Dobby. " he shoved the book in Dobby's hands. I looked at him,
"Open it " I whispered, he looked at me then he opened the book and gasped,
"Dobby? " Malfoy asked, turning around.
"Master has given Dobby a sock! " Dobby exclaimed, lifting the sock from the diary.
"What? I didn't- " he stopped when he saw that I was missing one of my stockings, I giggled.
"Master has presented Dobby with clothes! Dobby is free " he said, Malfoy glared at me.
"You've lost me my servant! " he exclaimed, holding up his wand towards me, Harry walked in front of me, as did Dobby.
"You shall not harm Scarlet Jones and Harry potter " Dobby yelled.
"Advada- " But Dobby hit him with one of his spells that caused him to fly back and into the ground. He slowly got up and glared at me
" Your parents were meddlesome fools, too. You mark my words Jones, one day soon you are going to meet the same sticky end!" he yelled; I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever just get out you're not welcome here!" I yelled back; he glared before aparating away. I sighed before turning around and looking at Harry and Dobby.
"Scarlet freed Dobby! how can I ever repay you? " I giggled,
"Just promise me one thing " I said,
" Anything miss " Dobby replied,
" Never try to save Harry's life again " he laughed and nodded.

THE GREAT HALL

Well, after the incident that happened with Malfoy we went to the great hall, I was sitting with Seamus
and the guys and we were just talking about The Chamber of Secrets.
"Wow so what happened after the snake came out? " Dean asked,
"Well, I had to kill it of course so I just stabbed it in the mouth " Harry replied, I laughed,
"Its nice to show off your success sometimes I guess " I exclaimed, Harry blushed and went back into the conversation
"You are okay though right? " Seamus asked me,
"Yes of course I'm okay, I'm here aren't I? " I giggled,
"Yeah but, I'm just making sure " he replied while he blushed a crimson red,
"Well, thank you Seamus, it means a lot " I then leaned over and kissed his cheek, he blushed even more but before he could answer the doors opened in front of the Great Hall as Hermione and Kirsten walked in.
"Hermione!!" I yelled, causing everyone to turn and look at us, I ran over and tackled her to the ground,
everyone laughed but we didn't care, Ron and Harry quickly got up and ran over as well.
" Uhh-um... Welcome back, Hermione." Ron said; shanking her hand. Kirsten and I looked at each other...awkward.
"It's good to be back! Congratulations! I can't believe you solved it! " she exclaimed,
"Well, we had loads of help from you. We couldn't have done it without you. " Harry said, she smiled,
"Thanks " she replied, as we all sat down in our seats,
" Could I have your attention please? " McGonagall asked,
"Before we begin the feast, let us have a round of applause for Professor Sprout and Madame Pomfrey, whose Mandrake juice has been so successfully administered to all who had been Petrified. Also, in light of the recent events, as a school treat, all exams have been canceled. " Hermione and I gasped,
" Oh no! " Hermione and I exclaimed. Then the doors opened once more as Hagrid walked in

"Sorry I'm late! The owl that delivered my release papers got all lost and confused. Some ruddy bird called Errol." Ron shrunk in his seat as I patted his back.
"And I'd just like to say that a- if it hadn't been for you, Harry, and Ron, Scarlet, Kirsten and Hermione, o' course, I would- uh- I'd still be you-know-where, so I- I'd just like to say 'Thanks.' " I smiled and hugged him,

"Its really no big deal Hagrid really " I said while sitting back down. I looked around and watched as everyone ate; I smiled softly.
Everything was back to normal; we had nothing to worry about.
For the time being at least.
