In the principal's office, the door was abruptly opened again surprising everyone present, the one who entered was the school nurse Madam Promfrey.
Dumbledore: Poppy, what's wrong?
Madam Pomfrey is trying to calm her breathing, everything indicated that she had been running.
Poppy Pomfrey: Albus, Miss Weasley, and Mr. Uchiha are in the infirmary.
Molly Weasley: is she alive, please tell me
Poppy Pomfrey: Of course she's alive, now she's resting in one of the beds in the infirmary.
Molly Weasley: Thank god, Arthur is alive, our Ginny is alive.
Arthur Weasley: They are watching Uchiha because he can escape.
Poppy Pomfrey: What are you talking about, Mr. Uchiha was the one who rescued Miss Weasley.
Ron: No, he's the heir to Slytherin.
Poppy Pomfrey: It's not, Mr. Uchiha explained to me what happened before he fell unconscious due to his magical exhaustion.
Dumbledore: who was Poppy?
Poppy Pomfrey: He Who Must Not Be Named, and she did it through this diary.
Poppy Pomfrey pulled the diary from her robes and handed it to the headmaster.
The Weasleys, Ron, Harry and Hermione all recognized it as Tom Riddle's diary.
Mrs Weasley: Ginny's Diary-
Hermione: Tom Riddle's Diary.
Harry watched as Dobby pointed to the journal and Lucius Malfoy.
Dumbledore examined the journal and said.
Dumbledore: Very few know that Voldemort's real name is Tom Riddle and this journal has traces of black magic.
Many gasped at hearing that name.
Lucius Malfoy: I see, I'll go then.
Lucius Malfoy pushed Dobby out of the headmaster's office.
Mrs. Weasley: We're off to see Ginny.
The Weasleys, Madam Pomfrey and Hermione also left the office.
Dumbledore: Something's wrong, Harry.
Harry: It's that I couldn't realize certain things, certain similarities between Voldemort and me.
Dumbledore: You can speak Parseltongue, because Voldemort also speaks Parseltongue, if I'm not mistaken Harry, he transferred several of his powers to you the night he gave you that scar.
Harry: He transferred several of his powers to me.
Dumbledore: Not intentionally, but yes.
Harry: The Sorting Hat was right, I belong to Slytherin.
Dumbledore: Exactly, you have many of the Slytherin qualities - inventiveness, determination, a certain disdain for rules - but the hat put you in Gryffindor.
Harry: because I asked him to.
Dumbledore: Exactly. That's what sets you apart from Voldemort. It's our choices, Harry, that show who we are, far more than our abilities. If you want proof that you belong to Gryffindor, I suggest you take a closer look at this.
Dumbledore held out his sword and passed it to Harry. Without much encouragement, Harry turned it over and saw the rubies gleam in the firelight. And then he saw the name carved under the hilt: Godric Gryffindor:
Dumbledore: Only a true Gryffindor could have pulled this out of the hat, Harry.
For a minute neither of them said anything. Dumbledore then opened one of the desk drawers and took out a quill and inkwell.
Dumbledore: What you need, Harry, is to eat something and sleep. I suggest you go down to the hospital wing where your friends are visiting Miss Weasley, and we need our ranger back. And I have an ad to write for the Daily Prophet, plus we need a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Wow, they don't seem to last us long, do they?
Harry just nodded.
Harry: Professor, allow me to return this journal to Mr. Malfoy.
Dumbledore: Sure, Harry.
Harry left the headmaster's office to catch up with Lucius Malfoy.
---------------
The Weasleys, Madam Pomfrey, and Hermione arrived at the infirmary, only to find Percy, Fred, and George were already there.
Molly Weasley: pushed through and hugged Ginny.
Everyone was glad that he was safe.
Ginny apologized for allowing herself to be manipulated by the newspaper, and feared that she would be expelled.
Arthur Weasley: You will not be expelled Ginny, the culprit has been identified, the diary you had belonged to the one who must not be named.
Ginny: Tom was the one who must not be named.
Arthur Weasley: Ginny I've always said not to trust things that can think of their own free will because we don't know what their true intentions are, you should have shown us that diary
Molly Weasley: where did you get it Ginny
Ginny: I don't know, when we got back from Diagon Alley, it was already in my cauldron, I thought it was a gift from you.
Molly Weasley: Since it matters, the good thing is that you're safe.
Arthur Weasley: Mr. Uchiha saved you right?
Ginny: yes dad
Molly Weasley: where is he to thank him?
Fred: He's gone.
George: When he left, Ginny just told us that he had saved her.
-----------
Sasuke was walking back to his common room, but upon entering they all fell silent.
Sasuke ignored this and went to his room but someone had the courage and asked him.
Astoria Greengrass: Sasuke where were you?
Bored Sasuke answers without thinking.
Sasuke: I went to kill a basilisk and trap the heir of Slytherin in the process.
Sasuke went to his room to rest, while in the common room he broke into conversations about what Sasuke had said.
The door was flung open, and everyone fell silent as they saw that it was Professor Snape.
Snape: Uchiha come with me, the director wants to talk to you.
Sasuke just nodded and they both walked out, walking in silence.
They reached the stone gargoyle and Snape angrily gave the password, where the two entered the office.
Dumbledore: Mr. Uchiha, how nice that you could come.
Snape: I'm leaving, I have to finish preparing the potion for the petrified.
Dumbledore: Sure Severus.
Snape left the office.
Dumbledore: Mr. Uchiha I want to thank you for saving Miss Weasley, but I wonder why you didn't seek help, it was so reckless what you did.
Sasuke: I only followed her because she was acting weird, I never imagined that she was possessed by Voldemort.
Dumbledore looked on in amazement at how Sasuke Uchiha wasn't afraid to say Voldemort.
Sasuke: I also left a note where I was
Dumbledore: unfortunately we did not find it, everything seems to indicate that I destroyed the entrance to the chamber to keep the secret.
Sasuke: I see
Dumbledore: How did you kill the basilisk?
Sasuke: to that, I lured him into the tunnels and he got stuck, then I cast a cutting spell on his neck.
Dumbledore: That's not possible, since a basilisk's skin is as tough as a dragon's.
Sasuke: You said it yourself almost as hard, that's why I spent hours cutting his neck until he died, he must have regretted having a strong neck.
Dumbledore watched as Sasuke expressed himself, as if he didn't care about the suffering of the basilisk as it lay dying.
Dumbledore: How did you defeat Tom?
Sasuke: that was luck, the stupid one started talking explaining how everything happened, emphasizing that it all started with his diary. So the answer was simple, you just had to destroy the diary, luckily for me, he left it lying on the floor.
Dumbledore had been using legilimency ever since he came in but it wasn't working, he couldn't get into his mind.
Dumbledore: Mr. Uchiha, is there something important you want to tell me?
Sasuke: no, nothing.
Dumbledore: Very well you may go, and again thank you for saving Miss Weasley.
Sasuke left the principal's office.
One of the portraits of the former directors spoke.
Armando Dippet: he is a very talented boy right Albus, he reminds me of someone
Dumbledore: If you notice too, he reminds me of Tom.
Armando Dippet: right, both Slytherins.
Phineas in his mind was saying Albus you better not conspire against him, because if you don't you will be welcoming your next adversary, like Gellert and Tom were.
---------
Sasuke makes it to the great hall, but before entering he is met by the Weasleys, who thank him for saving Ginny.
Sasuke just nodded to them, but just then Peeves appears.
Peeves: look here is the couple of the year.
They all just stared at Peeves because they didn't understand what he meant.
Hermione: What are you talking about?
Peeves smiles and says
Peeves: What happened on the shores of the lake, Uchiha was kissing Weasley.
All of Ginny's siblings were glaring at Sasuke.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were surprised, Ginny's face flushed with embarrassment as she looked down.
Mrs. Weasley seeing this just laughs at her daughter.
Sasuke. You mean that.
Fred: you say that like it's not something insignificant
The mood was becoming tense.
Sasuke: I had to do CPR on him because he had drowned, and if he didn't he would have died, anyway I'm leaving.
Everyone else didn't know what to say, they just saw Sasuke enter the large dining room.
Ginny in her mind my first kiss was with him, it must have been Harry, not him.
-------------
In the large dining room, Sasuke was going to his table, but many students from the three houses were looking at him and starting to murmur.
Dumbledore at the staff table noticed it too.
Minerva Mcgonagall: It seems that what happened in the Chamber of Secrets is no longer a secret.
Dumbledore: how
Minerva Mcgonagall: Poppy told me that there were witnesses when Mr. Uchiha brought Miss Weasley in and explained what had happened.
Dumbledore: I understand.
Dumbledore got up from the teachers' table.
Dumbledore: Your attention please.
All the students fell silent, as they looked at Professor Dumbledore.
Dumbledore: Thank you, I'd like to give a round of applause to the students who recovered from the Basilisk attack.
The students from the three houses applauded their classmates who had been stoned.
Dumbledore: I would also like to congratulate some students who supported us in the investigation of the heir and the defeat of the monster that was a basilisk.
Dumbledore: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley I would like to give 50 points each due to their investigation and discovery of the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, I also give Ms Weasley 20 points for showing great courage in the face of adversity.
The Gryffindor table applauded and already celebrated their victory in the house cup with anticipation, the other houses looked at them with annoyance because they are giving them victory again.
Dumbledore: I would like to congratulate Sasuke Uchiha for overcoming your differences and not hesitating to do the right thing, for finding the entrance to the chamber of secrets, discovering and delivering the heir to Slytherin, also for defeating the monster in the chamber of secrets , and above all for saving the life of his fellow student despite belonging to another house for this reason I give him 200 points.
Gryffindor's happy face suddenly went dark when he learned the points Slytherin received, he surpassed them with a difference of 150 points.
The Slytherins celebrated this, since thanks to Sasuke they rose above all the houses, the cup of the houses belonged to them indisputably.
Dumbledore: Congratulations Slytherin, and finally I would like to add that all teachers have decided to dispense with exams.
The four houses erupted in applause and shouts due to this news.
Dumbledore: Let the banquet begin.
-----------
The next day in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore and Snape were discussing what happened, and how the diary controlled Miss Weasley.
Dumbledore: Severus, I wish you would provide me with a bottle of basilisk poison.
Snape: You can tell what for, because I remember you're not a potions master.
Dumbledore: I may not be a potions master, but I am a collector of rare things, and basilisk venom is a valuable and rare material.
Snape: I'll send you a bottle later.
Dumbledore: Thank you Severus.
Snape left the office, and Dumbledore was looking at where the Gryffindor sword was.
---------
The rest of the last term passed under a radiant and scorching sun.
Hogwarts was back to normal, with only a few minor differences: Defense Against the Dark Arts classes had been suspended much to Sasuke's delight, because classes with Lockhart were a waste of time.
Sasuke was walking along the edge of the lake accompanied by Luna, who was asking him to retell Ginny's rescue.
Sasuke with resignation tells it again because he knows that if he doesn't tell him, he will continue to insist.
Sasuke considered Luna as a friend, since unlike his other classmates she wasn't noisy, plus Luna was a valuable source of information on things that weren't even published in the prophet.
--------
The semester ended, and all the students boarded the train.
Sasuke and Luna sat in a compartment, where Luna went back to talking about the new Quibbler discoveries, she also said that her things no longer disappeared, and that her housemates no longer bothered her.
Sasuke: Sounds good to me.
Luna: You have something planned for the holidays.
Sasuke: I'm going on a trip
Moon: good
The train arrived at platform 9 ¾" of KingCross station.
Luna: have a nice vacation, Sasuke.
Sasuke: same.
Sasuke goes out into the muggle world, crossing the barrier, once outside he takes a taxi to go home.
But when he arrives, he sees a box that was addressed to him.
Sasuke takes the box and when he opens it he has the Ambu suit, and a mask.
Sasuke performs the henge no jutsu (transformation jutsu) and transforms into an adult version, puts on the Ambu suit, ready to go to work.
Sasuke had consulted with Burgin about possible jobs to take over the summer vacation.
Burgin had mentioned that there are guilds that offer jobs as bounty hunters, but the amount of the reward was proportional to the amount of danger the mission presented
