Inside [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]]'s office, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Mr.]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Molly Weasley|Mrs. Weasley]] immediately sweep [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] into a hug. As they, and also [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] and Professor McGonagall, listen, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] recounts what happened, omitting Ginny's role and the Diary as much as possible. Professor Dumbledore wonders how [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]] enchanted Ginny, as he is currently hiding in Albania. Harry is relieved, as Dumbledore clearly knows Ginny was not at fault, and explains how Ginny was controlled by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Marvolo Riddle|Riddle]]'s Diary, which. Harry has brought the diary, along with the Sword and the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sorting Hat|Sorting Hat]]. Dumbledore confirms that Riddle and Voldemort are one and the same. Mr. Weasley chastises Ginny: "Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain!" Dumbledore says there will be no punishment for Ginny. "Older and wiser wizards than she have been hoodwinked by Lord Voldemort." He sends her to the Hospital Wing, saying that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Poppy Pomfrey|Madam Pomfrey]] will still be there, dispensing the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Mandrake|Mandrake]] juice to the Petrified students. He recommends bed rest and also recommends Ginny have hot chocolate, something that always cheers him. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] is relieved to hear that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] will not suffer any permanent damage. As Mr. and Mrs. Weasley leave with Ginny, Dumbledore dispatches Professor McGonagall to alert the kitchens to prepare a feast.

The door bursts open and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]] strides in, accompanied by, to Harry's amazement, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dobby|Dobby]]. Lucius is furious that Dumbledore has returned after being suspended. Dumbledore replies that after Mr. Weasley's daughter was attacked, the other Governors asked him to return. Some were under the impression that Malfoy would curse their families if they refused to expel Dumbledore. Lucius demands to know if the culprit has been found. Dumbledore responds it was the same as last time, via the diary, and most ingeniously. If the plot had succeeded, Ginny Weasley would have been blamed, reflecting badly on Arthur Weasley and his Muggle Protection Act. Behind Mr. Malfoy's back, Dobby is performing a charade, which Harry suddenly understands: Malfoy gave the diary to Ginny at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 4|Flourish & Blotts]]. Lucius demands that they prove this accusation. Dumbledore says that is impossible with the diary destroyed, but if other such artifacts are passed to anyone, Arthur Weasley will be sure to trace them to Lucius Malfoy. Lucius stomps off, kicking Dobby along the way. Harry takes Riddle's diary, wraps it in one of his socks, and runs to return it to Lucius. Lucius angrily strips the sock off, tossing it aside. Dobby catches it, and, having been given clothes by his master, is free at last. Malfoy, enraged, lunges at Harry, but Dobby magically hurls Lucius backwards. Lucius leaves Hogwarts, defeated on all fronts. When Dobby asks how he can repay Harry, he replies he wants Dobby to never try to save his life again.

The remaining year is peaceful. The only grim face is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]]'s, whoseas fatherLucius was fired from the school's Board of Directors. On the train back home, Harry asks Ginny about what [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy]] did not want her to tell anyone. Ginny reveals that Percy has a girlfriend, the same [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Penelope Clearwater|Penelope Clearwater]] who was Petrified with Hermione. She saw themPercy and Penelope kissing. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]] intend to have some fun with Percy about this over the summer, while Harry, not expecting to have any fun at all, asks Hermione and Ron to telephone him so they can arrange to meet. And then the train pulls into [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Platform 9 and Three Quarters|Platform Nine and Three Quarters]].

Having used the time-honoured technique, where the villain explains to the hero exactly what happened, in the previous chapter, the author completes the story by laying out the parts that the other characters played in the events. We learn here that the Diary originated with Lucius Malfoy, and that Dobby, as suspected, was his House-elf. We also suspect that Dumbledore perhaps knew much about what had been going on, but may have been constrained from acting, possibly by forces still unknown to us. Finally, we also see, with almost breakneck speed, the school year's closing days, the Basilisk victims' recovery, Hagrid's return, the school year's closing days, and the return trip to London on the Hogwarts Express. Ginny is naturally quite distraught over her role in helping Tom Riddle, even though she was entirely blameless due to her being possessed by Riddle's Diary. It is unknown whether or not Lucius Malfoy specifically chose her before setting his plan into motion or if he only happened upon an opportune moment to slip Ginny the Diary while at Flourish & Blotts in Diagon Alley. Other than it being a convenient time to pass on the Diary, he may also have been motivated to use Ginny based on his disdain for the Weasley family in general, and his dislike for Mr. Weasley in particular. Overall, it seems a poor choice by Malfoy, considering how close Harry has become to the Weasleys; once Harry became aware that something was amiss with one of the Weasley children, he could more easily trace this back to Voldemort.

This particular instance is interesting in another direction. Throughout this book, we have seen Harry's increasing doubt that he was meant to be sorted into Gryffindor House. When he meets Tom Riddle, this doubt is echoed again, though curiously it has no affect on his course of action. It is Dumbledore's pronouncement about making choices, coupled with the Sword being Gryffindor's, that finally removes Harry's uncertainty about the Sorting Hat's decision. We can safely assume that Harry will never be troubled by this matter again.

Many students are probably suited to more than one House. Hermione, for instance, would seem destined for Ravenclaw. Instead, the Sorting Hat, perhaps detecting her strong personality and willingness to act upon her beliefs, placed her in Gryffindor where, influenced by her Housemates, she developed,is and will continue to do so,developing abilities she might otherwise have underutilized or completely ignored. Another such student is Neville Longbottom, perhaps the most timid and frightened student at Hogwarts. Though we still have no idea why he was also sorted into Gryffindor, it should be assumed he has unseen abilities. It is prudent to realize that courage comes in many forms; we recall Dumbledore's statement [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 17|at the end of the previous year]], where he said, specifically of Neville's actions, "it takes courage to stand up to our friends."

Harry also failed to consider that even if he was Slytherin's descendant, then so was one half of his family, yet both his parents were sorted into Gryffindor. Just how and why the Sorting Hat makes a final determination regarding which House a student is sorted into is not entirely understood, though the students' individual preferences are apparently considered, as well as family tradition. It appears that most are generally satisfied with the Sorting Hat's choice. Whether or not a student can change Houses after being sorted is unknown, but interesting to consider.

# How could a restorative potion be administered to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nearly Headless Nick|Nearly Headless Nick]], who is a Ghost,? How could it have any effect on him?

In the sixth book, we discover that this "memory of Tom Riddle" is a Horcrux, greatly troubling Dumbledore when he discovered it, though that is not seen here: Dumbledore, throughout this story, seems as imperturbable as ever. Later, however, Dumbledore tells Harry that the Diary Horcrux's discovery worried him. As long as a Horcrux remains intact, its creator remains alive, the Horcrux tethering his soul shard to the living world. Thus, a Horcrux's primary purpose is immortality, and the wizards who create them invariably protect them as they would their own lives. Yet the Diary was apparently also crafted as a weapon, to be placed into an unsuspecting accomplice's hand—in this case a naive schoolgirl. Dumbledore concludes that this is not Voldemort's only Horcrux, and attempts to determine how many there might be. Harry secures a memory suggesting that Tom Riddle saw seven as the most magical number, and so Dumbledore concludes, correctly, that Voldemort had intended to have seven soul shards: one remaining within himself, and six stored in Horcruxes.

We can see immediately that Harry freeing Dobby from servitude, and Dobby's gratitude for that, will affect Harry's future when Dobby rejoins the story in the fourth book, helping Harry solve a major problem he is set. True to Harry's request, Dobby will never again attempt to save Harry's life until directed to do so by another person late in the seventh book; but in the mean whilemeanwhile, Dobby will assist Harry in his work with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]] in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], and his attempts to determine Draco's mission in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']].
