CHAPTER NINE

Trixie sat with Ginny in silence, barely paying attention to the rumors floating around the Great Hall. Today was the End-of-Year Feast, and it had been almost two weeks since the '60-foot snake incident' as Fred and George had taken to calling it, or 'the infamous story of Harry Potter and the diary that dragged Little Gin-Gin and Baby Trixie-ballerina into the Chamber of Secrets' for short. It seemed the only people who realized all that the two 11 year olds had been through in that chamber were the adults involved. All everyone else could talk about was the fact that Harry Potter had killed a sixty foot basilisk with a sword that Ronald Weasley had pulled from the Sorting Hat when he had followed his friend through into the chamber. Together, the two had distracted the basilisk, killed it, and then Ron had even stabbed the tooth Harry had pulled from his arm into the diary, destroying the remnant of Tom Riddle and saving his sister's life.

Professor Snape glared openly at the Weasley boy and the Potter fool, both blushing at the attention they were receiving from their housemates as they celebrated Gryffindor's winning of the House Cup once again. He caught Professor McGonagall's eye, and he knew she was thinking the same thing. Minerva's keen eyes hadn't left her two cubs the entire feast. They were both smiling, yes, but they were both still on a regular potion regime, and would be for at least the summer holidays.

Suddenly, she was pulled from her thoughts by a loud screeching. The entire flock of school barn owls poured into the hall at once, dropping packages on all five tables; before all at once, they exploded.

"DUNGBOMBS! I'LL FIND WHO DID THIS! MARK MY WORDS!"

Only Filch's voice could be heard over the chaos that erupted with the sudden stench and green smoke. The students were screaming, rushing out of the hall as fast they could, getting caught in the traffic jam at the door, as more packages arrived, and Peeves joined the fray with an armload of balloons filled with colored paint.

"Got you Potty! Green as a freshly pickled toad for you! Hehe pink for you little miss Malfoy!"

"PEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEES!"

"Mister Filchy Wilchy shouldn't be so mad with Peeves! How about blue for you? And orange for you little kitty catty too!"

Finally, the chaos ended, and the Hall was empty of students, except for two. Minerva McGonagall tried and failed to glare at them through her red splattered spectacles, Severus Snape tried to look intimidating beneath his dripping yellow hair, and Albus Dumbledore's eyes were as bright as his now multi-colored robes.

"We thought we'd save you the trouble Professors..." began one Gryffindor.

"...of having to search us out on our very last night in these esteemed halls..." continued the other flawlessly.

"So we decided..."

"from the bottom of our hearts..."

"... as the kindly souls we are..."

"to turn ourselves in"

Professor Snape slowly rose from his seat, fixing his best glare on the Gryffindors, but Professor Dumbledore interrupted him before he could speak.

"Excellent use of the school owls, I must admit!" he clapped his hands together happily. "Fifty points to Gryffindor will be awarded to each of you when school resumes next year"

The 11 year olds smirked at each other.

"Thank you Professor" Ginny grinned.

"See you next term!" Trixie added, before together they skipped happily out of the Hall.

Minerva shook her head, and let out a soft moan.

"We're doomed"

THE END
