A/N: This is an edited version of a Chamber of Secrets ending rewrite that I wrote when I was 12. It starts at the end of year feast after Harry has killed the basilisk and all the students have been depetrified (if that is even a word).
"Professor Dumbledore, why are the governors insisting that you step down from your post as headmaster, even though that Chamber of Secrets has been closed for good and the creature inside is now dead?" Harry asked.
"I don't know Harry, but I'm an old man, and the fates clearly feel its my time to go." Dumbledore said, "I've made many mistakes in my time as headmaster, and this time students nearly died."
"But it wasn't your fault…" started Harry.
"And as the headmaster I should have put a stop to it sooner. And I shouldn't have allowed a student to be possessed," interrupted the headmaster. "Anyway I'm sure the new headmaster will be just as good, if not better."
"And who is the new headmaster?" Harry asked.
"It will all be revealed at the end of term feast," said Dumbledore, "So now would be a good time for you to head down."
"Okay. Goodbye Professor Dumbledore, I hope to see you again in the future" said Harry, before hugging the headmaster.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed, please review and let me know what you think. Who do you think should be the new headmaster? Let me known the reviews!
