Ginny.

Harry.

It was me. But I swear, I didn’t mean to.

Riddle made me, and…

Harry, you’re hurt.

Don’t worry.

Ginny, you need to get yourself out.

Follow the Chamber and you’ll find Ron.

You were brilliant, Fawkes.

I just wasn’t quick enough.

Of course.

Phoenix tears have healing powers.

Thanks.

Its all right, Ginny.

Its over.

Its just a memory.

Amazing, This is just like magic!

You both realize, of course…

…that in the past few hours, you have broken perhaps a dozen school rules.

Yes, sir.

There is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Therefore, it is only fitting…

…that you both receive…

…Special Awards for Services to the School.

Thanks, sir.

Now, Mr. Weasley, if you would…

…have an owl deliver these release papers to Azkaban.

I believe we want our gamekeeper back.

Harry.

First, I want to thank you, Harry.

You must have shown me real loyalty down in the Chamber.

Nothing but that could have called Fawkes to you.

And…

…second…

…I sense that something is troubling you.

Am I right, Harry?

Its just…

You see, sir, I couldn’t help but notice certain things, certain…

Certain similarities between Tom Riddle and me.

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.

Voldemort transferred some of his powers to me?

Not intentionally…

…but yes.

So the Sorting Hat was right. I should be in Slytherin.

Its true. 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?

Because I asked it to. Exactly, Harry. Exactly.

Which makes you different from Voldemort.

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are.

It is our choices.

If you want proof why you belong in Gryffindor…

…then I suggest you look more closely at this.

Be careful.

Godric Gryffindor.

It would take a true Gryffindor to pull that out of the hat.

Dobby.

So this is your master. The family you serve is the Malfoys.

Ill deal with you later.

Out of my way, Potter.

So its true. You have returned.

When the governors learned that Arthur Weasley’s daughter…

…was taken into the Chamber, they saw fit to summon me back.

Ridiculous.

Curiously, Lucius, several of them…

…were under the impression that you would curse their families…

…if they did not agree to suspend me in the first place.

How dare you! Beg your pardon?

My sole concern has always been and will always be…

…the welfare of this school…

…and, of course, its students.

The culprit has been identified, I presume?

Oh, yes.

And?

Who was it?

Voldemort. Ah.

Only this time he chose to act through somebody else…

…by means of this.

I see.

Fortunately, our young Mr. Potter discovered it.

One hopes that no more of Lord Voldemort’s old school-things…

…should find their way into innocent hands.

The consequences for the one responsible would be…

…severe.

Well, let us hope…

…that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.

Don’t worry. I will be.

Dumbledore.

Come, Dobby. We’re leaving.
