Shall we end this book? Thank you for your review, .7.

Fern only woke up in time for the next Hogwarts feast, which took place for the whole night. But nevertheless, she learned that she, Ron and Harry had each earned 200 points for Gryffindor, putting them in the lead again. Lockhart had completely lost his memory after his Memory Charm had backfired and hit him, the same way Ron's hex had done when he tried to hex Draco that time. Best of all, the Petrified students were revived.

Fern was still a bit out of it when they got to the Great Hall, but she was completely alert when she heard a familiar voice yelling "You solved it! You solved it!"

Hermione hugged all three of her friends. "Don't you ever do that to me again!" Fern said, teasingly stern. "Do you realize what I'd have done if the Mandrakes weren't ready by then?

Hagrid was also out of Azkaban and back on the grounds. Justin also apologized to Harry for suspecting that he was the Heir. McGonagall announced that the end-of-year exams were cancelled, much to Hermione's disappointment, and DADA lessons were out for the rest of the school year.

Fern did break down a bit, but only the next day. She was in her dorm with her three room-mates, when Hermione first found her bubbly friend in tears.

"What's wrong?" Hermione whispered. "Everything's OK."

"No, no, you don't understand." Fern sobbed. "I just feel so bad about how useless I was in the Chamber. I'm not a real Gryffindor, I just froze up. The Hat should've put me in Hufflepuff. It thought about it last year."

Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown, the other girls, slipped out. They were both sympathetic, and sensed they wouldn't be wanted.

Hermione comforted Fern, reminding her how she'd stood up to Riddle, and stabbed the diary.

Fern managed a watery smile. "Thanks." she said. "I should probably hang out with Moaning Myrtle next. She'll be happy to know she's not the only one flooding."

Fern did go to visit Myrtle at the end of the year, again promising she'd visit next year. But she was over her tears and soon became happy and slightly hyper again. She even took pleasure in telling Draco more Muggle stuff, including the phone.

He'd glared at her and said "Actually, I have a Smartphone. Father doesn't approve, but Mother understands why I should have one and secretly got it for me."

Fern gave him her number, more because she wanted to hear what her friends would say to him rather than because she wanted to hear from him.

She, Harry and Hermione also exchanged telephone numbers with Ron, since Harry had told Ron's dad how to use one last summer. "Call me at the Dursleys', OK?" Harry said as they got off the train. "I can't stand two months with only Dudley to talk to."

They all promised, before leaving. Fern also took a second picture of them all. "I'm going to do that at the end of each year." she said, showing them their picture from the end of first year, which she kept with her. "Wow, it feels like ages ago, doesn't it?"

After a group hug and a call of "See you all September!", the group went their separate ways. Fern didn't tell her parents everything about the Chamber of Secrets, but she gave them a less dangerfied version of the events. She left out the fact that Harry nearly died in the Chamber, and that Riddle turned out to be a young Voldemort, but she waxed lyrical about how stupid Lockhart was, and how if he really wanted to blank their memories, he should have tried to get her wand or Harry's wand instead.

Fern wanted to invite all of her friends over for the summer, but her parents wouldn't let her. They said Hermione could come and stay, but they would prefer not to have the boys over. Fern was especially disappointed about Harry not being able to come, because he didn't deserve the treatment he got from his family.

Fern's report, in spite of no final mark, had good comments. Charms was, as usual, her best subject, and she was pleased to see that her Potions comment was a lot less negative than the year before. She had also improved in Transfiguration, but hadn't done so well in History of Magic, since it was even more boring than the year before.

Fern's home friends had known everything Fern told them about the Chamber Of Secrets, but they were desperate to get a more detailed version, so she told all at their annual "start of summer" sleepover. They were all in the dark with their torches, and Fern told it like a ghost story.

"And then," she whispered, "Riddle wrote his name in shimmery letters, TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE, and waved Harry's wand. Then they spelled out the words...I AM LORD VOLDEMORT!" All the girls screamed.

"Tell me Harry lives!" Rachel begged.

"You actually saw all this?" Jessie said, wide-eyed.

Fern nodded. She also told the group about the normal school stuff. "Harry's singing Valentine was SO funny, but Draco was his usual charming self. He saw Ginny passing, and then yelled after her 'I don't think Potter liked your Valentine much', because it's obvious she has a crush on him. It made me so mad, and I yelled at him to leave her alone."

"Hey, did he do anything this year?" Jamie asked. "What happened?"

Fern kept the kiss to herself. The memory still burned in her mind. She did show the girls the picture she'd taken of her friends, and they all exclaimed on how much prettier Hermione was, surprisingly. "You'd never believe it from that other picture of her." Andrea remarked. "Ooh, and look at Harry! He's totally growing into that messy hairstyle. That will drive girls wild."

Fern also showed the girls Draco's Facebook profile. His last post said "Going home! See you all next term and I'll rock the schoolhouse!"

Fern Liked the post and commented "Correction: I will. Gryffindors rule the school like lions rule the jungle. You snakes better watch out for us!"

Nancy smirked. "If he calls you, tell me." she said. "I'm so going to call him back to tell him to get a life."

And just as it had been last year, Fern knew she'd enjoy the summer, but she would still miss the rest of the Quartet and couldn't wait to get back to Hogwarts, where everything was magic-cool.

I know, reference. Anyway, that's the end of Year 2. Stay tuned for "Hyper At Hogwarts – Year 3" and review!
