The next morning Harry woke up along with the others as Madam Pomfrey began attending to her patients. Ginny was cleared to go immediately, after having a good night's sleep she seemed much better. Those who'd been petrified were given a few basic joint exercises to help them get used to having full control of their bodies again. Emma was in a bit of a more difficult situation.

"I still can't stand." She complained.

"You will in an hour or two." Said Madam Pomfrey. "Nerve damage like this is no minor thing, we'll go over some exercises after breakfast. You'll miss this morning's classes but you should be able to walk comfortably by Lunch time."

"I'll help." Said Harry.

"Mr Potter, it would be best if you didn't interfere."

"But I…"

"Harry go." Said Emma sternly "You stink, you haven't washed since you got out of the Chamber."

"Neither have you." Said Harry.

"I wasn't inside a Basilisks mouth, nor did I slide down a slimy chute, I was gracefully lowered."

"And left on a wet floor for several hours."

"Alright stop it you two." Said Pomfrey irritably "Mr Potter I will attend to your sisters washing requirements, you go attend to your own."

"Harry." Said Emma patiently "I'm fine, you saved my life and brought me here. You've done all you can and I'm fine now. Please let Madam Pomfrey do the rest. Go, shower, eat and…" Emma found herself unable to come up with another instruction.

Harry grumbled and turned to leave with the others.

"Harry." Said Emma

He turned to face her, she beckoned him over with her finger. Rolling his eyes, Harry walked over to Emma. She pulled him close enough to kiss his forehead.

"Thank you for saving my life, big brother." She said seriously. Harry smiled gave her one more hug then left.

The rest of the day passed by and the atmosphere inside the castle was the happiest it had been in months. But Harry was faced with one more issue when he got back to the Common Room. Neville and Demelza between them still had possession of the Sorting Hat, the Sword and the Diary with a Basilisk fang imbedded in it.

"It may seem weird, but I kinda wanna keep the fang." Said Demelza "Its proof of my really cool moment. Only thing is that it's supposed to be poisonous, I don't want to accidentally stab myself with it."

"You can get a special kind of container for it. Glass mixed with a particular substance that won't get penetrated by the Basilisk Venom." Said Hermione "I can't remember what it's called but Emma might know. Potioners use it to keep highly destructive liquids."

Demelza nodded "I'll ask her. But I don't want to keep the Diary, I actually want to burn it but…"

"Let's ask Dumbledore." Said Harry. "We have to give at least the Sorting Hat back to him, the sword too, after all it came out of the hat."

"Don't you want to keep it?" said Neville.

"Of course, but I don't think I'm allowed a sword around Hogwarts, and I shudder to think what my Aunt and Uncle will do with it should I leave it in Surry."
