Chapter 16: Harry Potter Year 2 Finale
After the revelation of the current problem being a Basilisk Hermione went to the library and looked up the weaknesses of a Basilisk. and found out that a Rooster's wakeup call cry could kill it outright but the nearest batch of chickens were already dead so she kept reading. and found out the limits of a Basilisk's magic resistance and after she found that out she tore out the page that had the details from the book that had it and started making her way to Dumbledore's office to show what she found. but alas it wasn't to be since she saw the reflection of the gaze of the Basilisk in the hand mirror of a fellow student Penelope Clearwater and they both get petrified. and when Madam Pince saw what happened she carried them to the hospital wing where everyone else that was a victim were being cared for. while nobody was looking Ginny Weasley who was possessed by Tom Riddle's horcrux diary and wrote on the wall outside the library the final message that will get written before action is taken and that message is "Her Skeleton will lie in the chamber forever." and made her way to the chamber of secrets where once inside the main chamber she collapses and Tom Riddle starts forming by stealing her life force.
meanwhile in Dumbledore's office
Sage, Luna, Blaze, Shadow, Dr. Eggman, Jet, Wave, Storm and Dumbledore are waiting for Hermione to return and tell them the weaknesses of a Basilisk Sage and Luna freeze in place and everyone else asks "What's wrong?"
Sage and Luna say "something bad has happened to Hermione."
Dumbledore says "let's go check on her."
and they make their way to the library and arrive just as Madam Pince returned and they see the message on the wall with Madam Pince telling them that Hermione was petrified so they go to the hospital wing where they see Hermione holding on to something and grab it gently to take it and read it. they then decide to bring Sirius along and they go to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom where they are told by her how she died and she points out the snake shaped sink and Sage says "Open" in Parseltongue and the wall the sink is on opens up and one by one they go down the slide and come across a set of double doors and Sage says "Open" in Parseltongue and they open they go in the main chamber and find Tom Riddle standing over Ginny.
When Tom saw them arrive he decides to have a little chat with them and everyone but Dumbledore didn't know who he was a representation of.
and when he's told he couldn't possibly be Voldemort he says "Voldemort is my past, present and future." and he proceeds to write out his name "Tom Marvolo Riddle" with Ginny's wand and once done he does one final swish across the words to rearrange them and they reveal the words "I am Lord Voldemort."
and both Sage and Dr. Eggman laugh at him and Sage says "did you have a screw loose or something when you thought that moniker up? that's only an anagram and a poorly thought out one which translates from French to flight from death." and she says "it seems to me that you're scared of Death and that you're not really here which means you dabbled in something that had a heavy price when used even once."
Dumbledore answers for Tom "Horcruxes you dabbled in soul magic but the cost is that you split your soul in half which is also your magical core in equal size. sure you get immortality through not being able to leave this plane of existence but the question is how many did you make?"
Tom says "it would have to be a magically powerful number and while i have no idea what i eventually used to hold the pieces of my soul i would have chosen to create seven horcruxes." and he decides the time for talking is over by turning to the statue of Salazar Slytherin and saying "Awaken Salazar Slytherin greatest of the Hogwarts Four" and the mouth of Salazar's statue opens and out comes a Basilisk that looks to be 60 feet long or more and the fight begins.
before anything can happen Gilderoy Lockhart appears which tells everyone that he followed our heroes here and before he can attempt to use the memory charm even once after preaching what he plans to do in the unlikely event he survives fighting the Basilisk Tom gets tired of hearing the glory hound's voice and commands the basilisk to eat him which it does which is met with approval by our heroes even Dumbledore who has the reputation of being an extreme pacifist who usually prefers giving out too many second chances and hates the idea of using lethal force against his enemies even if it costs him the lives of his allies. for a moment Tom accepts the praise and while he's doing that Dr. Eggman brings out his Egg Dragoon which he had in his own personal stuff space due to having Chaos Energy from his many years of exposure to the Chaos Emeralds and he climbs in the cockpit and shuts the one way glass.
Tom then commands the basilisk to attack our heroes and they get out of the way of the attack by dodging its lunge. seeing that it's do or die time Shadow and Sage take off their power limiter rings and Sage pulls out her Piko Piko Hammer while Dumbledore commands Fawkes to claw out the basilisk's eyes which he does and then Dumbledore asks Fawkes to go back to his office and grab the Sorting Hat which he does and returns moments later and drops the Sorting Hat near Sage who puts a hand in the hat and grabs something then pulls it out. Dumbledore is shocked that Sage could draw the Sword of Gryffindor since she's in Ravenclaw and only somebody who truly embodies the beliefs of Gryffindor which are courage in the face of danger and the will to never give up hope. Shadow sees the sword and decides to wield it himself which Sage allows him to.

after all of that the basilisk is ready for another attack and Shadow uses his Chaos Spear in conjunction with the Sword of Gryffindor and it unleashes wind blades that injure the basilisk and Blaze uses her innate control over fire to cauterize the wounds making the basilisk hiss in even more pain. the Egg Dragoon grabs the injured basilisk by the tail and proceeds to slam it against the floor multiple times. and when that's done Sage slams her Piko Piko Hammer on its head and it is hurt badly but it also bites her in the arm while her guard is down from the swing but that's all it can do.
meanwhile in the Hospital Wing
(Never Turn Back by Crush 40)
Hermione is still petrified but her growing bond with Luna, Blaze and Sage tells her that Sage is in danger of dying and needs her help so she focuses her desire to help to its absolute limit and the Sol Emeralds appear before her having sensed her desire to help so they start spinning and she starts floating in a standing position where they encircle her and unleash her power which heals her from her petrification and she achieves the same transformation that only Blaze the Cat has ever done except her own color patterns are enhanced and she's given a flaming aura this is Burning Hermione. she uses Chaos control to teleport to the Chamber of Secrets.
meanwhile in the Chamber of Secrets
Dumbledore commands Fawkes to heal Sage which he does and as a result she's become immune to all poisons due to basilisk venom having no equal in potency. while that's happening Shadow gets angry and he gets up close to the basilisk and unleashes his most powerful attack the Chaos Blast which has enough power to give the atomic bomb effect and it injures the basilisk even further while Blaze cauterizes the wounds again with her fire abilities. and that's when Hermione appears.
Dr. Eggman, Sage, Luna, Dumbledore, Jet, Wave and Storm let their jaws drop while Blaze who has the most experience calling on the Sol Emeralds says "What the hell? I had the Sol Emeralds in my stuff space how were you able to call on them?" with Hermione replying by saying "perhaps they're sentient enough to sense the desires of anyone close by and they sensed my desire to help my friends while they were in danger and decided to help out." and turns her attention to the basilisk and raises her hands to the ceiling and forms a ball of flame as big as Dr. Eggman's Egg Carrier and throws it to the basilisk and that finishes it off by being too much for it and it turns to a pile of ashes. she then notices Tom's diary and throws a fireball at it and it too is reduced to ashes which means Tom Riddle is defeated and Ginny is saved. Sage and Shadow put their power limiter rings back on and Hermione releases the Sol Emeralds which return to Blaze's stuff space.
everyone goes back to Dumbledore's office and he congratulates everyone on a job well done. while he's doing that Lucius Malfoy does what he does in canon and Sage tricks him into giving Dobby a sock which frees him and Lucius tries to use the killing curse on Sage but before he can finish the incantation Dobby throws him on his ass with his own magic and Lucius leaves.
at the departure feast months later Ravenclaw wins the house cup again and Sage, Dr. Eggman, Shadow, Sage, Blaze, Hermione, Luna, Jet, Wave and Storm return to England and invite Dan and Emma to Dr. Eggman's base and they accept. everyone grabs on to Shadow and he uses Chaos Control to take everyone to Dr. Eggman's base.
Ending AN: there it is the Harry Potter Year 2 Arc is done
Next time: Hermione and her parents officially adopt Blaze who helps Hermione train her control over her newly awakened fire abilities while Dr. Eggman hires Shadow as Sage's bodyguard and it ends with Dr. Eggman, Shadow, Sage, Blaze, Hermione, Luna, Jet, Wave and Storm boarding the Hogwarts Express for the Harry Potter Year 3 Arc.
