Amy sat among her classmates in the Great Hall, smiling and laughing.
It was the day after Amy's adventures in the Chamber of Secrets with Tom
Riddle and she was more than anxious to get back to her regular routine,
with her friends by her side. Earlier that morning she had gone to Madam
Pomfrey and had been examined. Madam Pomfrey concluded that she was not
pregnant, and she also doubted that Amy ever had been.
"Magic's good for a lot of things," she said in a hushed voice, "but it takes someone truly gifted in magic to do something like that."
Professor Dumbledore, a special guest speaker for the morning, had rose at the Head Table, causing everyone in the Hall to silence. "As many of you already know," he began in that calming way that he had, "Hogwarts has played host to several disturbing events in the past few weeks. I would like to take this time to assure you that everything is back to normal. There will be no more conflicts concerning certain students in the school and everything will remain as positive as possible.
"I'm sure that many of you are wondering where I was this past Halloween evening. In truth, I was dealing with the very conflict that occurred at Hogwarts last night. Of course, with the help of some others, I couldn't have done it." He distinctly smiled in Harry's direction and Harry smiled back before quickly bowing his head.
"Now, on one last announcement, I would like to inform everyone that Professor Handar is moving on to become Headmaster of a wizarding school in Canada. So you will have a new Headmaster here at Hogwarts."
"Great. I wonder who they'll stick us with this time," Ron muttered. Ron had never been overly fond of Professor Handar.
"I will be leaving retirement and taking my position once again as Hogwarts Headmaster," Dumbledore continued, leaving the students to applaud politely for Professor Handar and cheer enthusiastically for the return of Professor Dumbledore. Amy joined in with her friends, listening to the deafening roar of clapping fill the Hall. Both professors were shaking hands up at the Head Table, smiling and joking. Amy looked around, grinning widely, realizing that there was no place like Hogwarts for an adventure.
