Last chapter of my very first story! Whoot whoot!
This is merely an epilogue, folks, so it will not nearly be as detailed, funny, and long as other chapters. It'll be pretty short, I'm guessing.
Enjoy
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tom Riddle's main home being turned into a museum, this was the perfect time for the Five-some to do some investigating. Draco, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Sora all marched up to the ticket booth one day and hoped and prayed that Sora and Hermione's superhuman powers of convincing, Draco's unnatural powers of flirting, Harry's natural powers of popularity, and Ron's… uh… whining capabilities could leave them with no fee.
It worked.
With free tickets, they happily and gleefully sauntered in, trying to catch up with the tour guide that was rambling on and on to a crowd of eager gatherers.
"… and this is known to be Tom Riddle's room. It cannot be opened by any visitor so it is locked right now, and only Parseltongues can open this door for the snaking lock that he had installed since he moved in. Let's move along now to the bath-house…"
The five stayed behind and shared glances.
"Uh… Harry."
"Yes."
"Nobody's around…"
"Yes."
"You speak parseltongue."
"Yes."
"Let's open the door."
"Yes."
Harry carefully walked to the door of Tom Riddle and spoke "Open." A hiss came from his mouth and immediately, a click was heard. Harry backed away.
"I'm not opening it." Harry said.
"I'm not either." Ron backed up with a terrified look on his face.
"Not I." Draco defended.
"I doubt I'm the person to do it." Hermione said.
"Uh… I don't really want to either."
"THERE YOU ARE. I ran around everywhere looking for you five! What are you guys doing here? Mom wants us back at the Order for dinner." Ginny cried, running up to them.
"Not now, Gin. We're a little… busy."
Ginny met them and joined them in staring at the door.
"Why are we staring at the door?" Ginny asked after a few minutes.
"This is just not a door. It's the door to Voldemort's room."
"OOhhh. Are you guys like investigating it?"
"Uh… yeah."
"Are you allowed to?"
"The tour guide never said we can't." Harry replied.
"Do you think Mom and the rest of the Order will let you guys?"
"They never said we can't.
"Then what are we doing here? Come on!" Ginny walked up and turned the scroll-y doorknob.
The six of them hesitated.
The door opened.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Man! This guy is some kind of rocket scientist." Ron mumbled as they went through the pile of rubble and ran into random orbs hanging from his ceiling.
The room was the colors of Slytherin, green and silver. His walls were plastered with a gray wall paper and a rather small bed in the corner was covered with green duvets. The room was rather narrow than wide. A desk was right next to his bed and was spilling with papers and books. In fact, the desk was too small to carry all his ingenious works and a separate table lay on the other side that also held more and more papers.
It was going to be a long hard scavenger hunt.
"Doesn't this man know anything about organization?" Hermione muttered agitated.
"I doubt it. I remember when he used to teach me, he'll always take like 10 minutes trying to find the books." Sora chirped.
"I don't know how he could even walk in all this mess!" Hermione complained.
"Hey. What's this?" Ginny held up a black leather-bound book.
"Ohh. Looks important."
"Let's open it." Ron said.
"Huh." Ginny looked at it thoughtfully.
"What?"
"Well… well… it looks a lot like the diary that I found in my first year."
"Oh."
There was complete silence.
"But how do you open this? Do you think this has the snake lock, too like the door?" Hermione asked softly.
"I doubt it. I don't see any snakes. But does it open? I don't think Voldemort's the type to just leave his diary here openable to anyone."
"Yeah, but it's hard enough to get into the room itself."
"Let's try it. Ginny? Care to open it?"
"Sure." Ginny tried to lift up the cover but it won't budge.
"I guess you're right. Why does he have to be so secretive?" Harry muttered.
"I'll take it that was a rhetorical question." Draco spoke. "It's Voldemort. Do you think he'll just leave it out there for everyone to read where he is, who he, why he is, how he is, and what he is? 'Oh today, I was mad but I only killed 4 people! Go me!'" "All right, Draco."
"Oh! Today, my closest and most loyal death eaters got caught! At least I have no worries now! Go me!" Draco turned red in his face.
"Uh…"
"Oh! Today, I decided to destroy all my death eaters except some that had nothing to do with the spilling of my orange juice. Go me!" He began to start his rant all over again when Ginny jumped up and screamed.
"I'M A GENIUS! I'M A PURE GENIUS!"
All eyes turned to her. "Uh…"
"Veronica Evans" Ginny whispered, stroking the cover of the leather diary 4 times.
The diary flipped opened.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"What's weirder is that he would make the only way to open the diary is to say the name of my grandma!" Harry thought out loud as he sat back on the bed and the rest of the group crowded over the pages.
"Uh huh."
"What relation were they? Do you think she's the reason he went out to destroy my family line?"
"Harry. The prophecy." Ginny reminded.
"Oh, right. Hey, Gin- how did you open the book in the first place?"
"The other diary 5 years ago opened that way."
"Hey, but wasn't your diary disappearing ink?"
"Yeah. But this one's not like that. Don't ask me."
Ginny fell beside Harry on Tom Riddle's bed when she bolted up again. "Oh my holy god."
"What? What's wrong?"
"What time is it? DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE THE TIME?"
"Uh… It's 7:20." Hermione said, pulling out her watch from her bag.
"Take the diary. We have to get back home! I told mom I'll have you guys back by 7. She'll be awful worried by now!"
Hermione quickly closed it and stuffed it in her bag. Ginny swung open the door when 3 looming shadows appeared over them.
"Hand it over, Miss Weasley."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"You. All of you are in so much trouble. Wait until I tell your mother." Professor Lupin, Mad-eye Moody, and Tonks exclaimed as they walked to the Floo fireplace of the Riddle estate. Ginny and Ron looked down at their feet. The other four slowly sighed. None of their families were there.
As they reached the brick fireplace, the nine wizards stopped. Lupin, Moody, and Tonks went in first to assure to Mrs. Weasley that the 6 were fine and tell them the story.
"We need a plan." Sora mumbled to the rest of them.
"I have an idea. Mom loves it when we do this to her."
"What?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"ALL OF YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS?"
The six trouble makers, smirking, looked down at their feet.
"NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. NONE OF YOU CAN LEAVE THE HOUSE UNTIL THE END OF SUMMER."
They all nodded.
"DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY? MAYBE A SORRY?"
They all looked up and grinned.
At the same time, they came screaming, laughing, and yelling "MRS. WEASLEY!" as they playfully jumped on her into a great group hug.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(From the author)
Hermione Granger later grew up to be a successful auror. She helped catch numerous death eaters and retired at the age of 32 to become a writer for the daily prophet for another 5 years. She wrote 3 books, used at Hogwarts to this day. At an age of 41, she joined the staff of Hogwarts witch of wizardry to take place for Professor McGonagall, who became the new headmistress.
Ronald Weasley joined his friends in becoming an auror as well. However, he quit the job after catching 2 death eaters, saying continuously that it just wasn't his type of thing. He became a Quidditch star, becoming a famous keeper for Cup winning teams.
Ginny Weasley used her silent but ingenious mind to become the Ministress of Magic at the age of 29. She retired at the ripe old age of 62, having the longest reign over the Magic world. She retired to writing books and after she died, replaced the Fat Lady to become the portrait on the Gryffindor wall.
Draco Malfoy, not being the best job-worthy person, became a model for all kinds of Magic and non-magic products. He proposed to Hermione at the age of 25, but was turned down the first time. He tried again one year later and she agreed. He became a stay at home dad, caring for their 3 beautiful children.
Sora Lee became the auror she had always dreamed of. At the age of 24 she became the executive auror. She retired at the age of 47 and became top official of the Order of the Phoenix. She and her husband, Harry, traveled (more escaped) all around the world until they passed away peacefully at the age of 78.
Harry Potter wanted to join his friends in becoming an auror but had to give up his job because it was too dangerous for him. He had been attacked over a dozen times by death eaters. He survived each attack thanks to the renewal of his natural shield of love when Sora had put her life on the line to save Harry just as his mother had done for him.
Because love… was the most powerful weapon of all.
