I'm all right

[alt_harry]

all right??? So people can stop asking me now. 

Yes the basilisk was scary.

No I didn't see anyone get turned to stone or anything.

Yes it's dead now and nobody else is going to get hurt.

Also everyone has woken up again, which is nice because it stunk to not have Granger around. And I didn't try to get exams cancelled, but Im pretty glad they are, even though I could sit them if I wanted to!!

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_hermione]

He's lying!!!!

He told me that he had a sword, and I asked him where he got it and he said a phoenix brought it to him, and I asked him where the phoenix came from and he said he didn't know. Only he doesn't want anybody to know because it was a Gryffindor sword or something, and he thinks that maybe the castle was watching out for him and it knows he's really a Gryffindor, and he hasn't even told Draco, and I don't know why he told me, except maybe he was relieved I was all right.

Anyway so he killed the basilisk with the sword, not some stupid falling rocks, he's not good at lying, is he?

Well, I don't know. Rocks could have done it. I mean we all almost got crushed by a load of rocks that fell from the roof when Lockhart tried to Obliviate him. That's what gave him the idea, I expect.

I think the castle WAS protecting all of us, and that's why the basilisk didn't kill more people. I mean all my other theories about what was going on were wrong, I think, but I think that one was right.

So the castle gave him a sword that's just for Gryffindors to use?

Look, I hate to say it because I do love my House and I'm proud to be a Slytherin but I think the Sorting Hat had it right. Harry's a Gryffindor. It's no wonder the castle still thinks so.

A Gryffindor sword? Wow. I wonder if that's the Sword of Gryffindor! It was supposed to be owned by Godric Gryffindor himself! I heard about it from my Gran--she told me a lot of little historical bits about the Founders when I was getting ready to go to Hogwarts, and that was one thing she mentioned. It supposed to be really fine, goblin-made, with rubies in the hilt. Did Harry say whether it did?

And a phoenix! Blimey, do you know how rare those are? That's amazing.

See if your Gran will tell you more about it when you get home, if you think you can, you know, ask her all about it without making her suspicious about why you're asking.
