*When we came back from the Chamber of Secrets, we were told Professor Dumbledore wanted to see us in his office. Not going to lie, I was happy Dumbledore was back but worried about what he wanted to say to us.*

Dumbledore: You four realize, of course...that in the past few hours, you have broken perhaps a dozen school rules.

Jason/Alexa/Harry/Ron: Yes, sir.

Dumbledore: There is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled.

Jason/Alexa/Harry/Ron: Yes, sir.

Dumbledore: Therefore, it is only fitting...that you both receive...

*I closed my eyes, bracing for what he was about to say.*

Dumbledore: ...Special Awards for Services to the School.

*I opened my eyes and was shocked. I looked at the others and smiled.*

Jason: Thanks, sir.

*Dumbledore smiled and got up. He had a roll of Parchment and handed it to Ron.*

Dumbledore: Now, Mr. Weasley, if you would...have an owl deliver these release papers to Azkaban. I believe we want our gamekeeper back.

*Ron nodded and went off to the Owlery to send the release papers. Leaving me, Alexa and, Harry with Dumbledore.*

Dumbledore: First, I want to thank you, Harry. And your sister and friend. You three must have shown me real loyalty down in the Chamber. Nothing but that could have called Fawkes to you. And second...I sense that something is troubling you. Am I right, Harry?

*I looked at him and he was indeed troubled.*

Harry: It's just...You see, sir, I couldn't help but notice certain things, certain...certain similarities between Tom Riddle and me.

Dumbledore: I see. Well, you can speak Parseltongue, Harry. Why?

*Harry shrugged.*

Dumbledore: Because Lord Voldemort can speak Parseltongue. If I'm not mistaken, Harry...he transferred some of his powers to you...the night he gave you that scar.

*The three of us were shocked.*

Alexa: Voldemort transferred some of his powers to Harry?

*Dumbledore nodded.*

Dumbledore: Not intentionally...but yes.

*Dumbledore walked over and sat down at his desk. Harry looked at the Sorting Hat.*

Harry: So the Sorting Hat was right. I should be in Slytherin.

Dumbledore: It's true. You possess many of the qualities that Voldemort himself prizes. Determination, resourcefulness...and if I may say so, a certain disregard for the rules. Why, then, did the Sorting Hat place you in Gryffindor?

Harry: Because I asked it to.

Dumbledore: Exactly, Harry. Exactly. Which makes you different from Voldemort. It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices. If you want proof why you belong in Gryffindor...then I suggest you look more closely at this.

*He picked up the Sword and handed it to Harry.*

Dumbledore: Be careful. Jason, would kindly read the name of the Sword?

*I looked at the sword and saw a name on there.*

Jason: Godric Gryffindor. 

Dumbledore: It would take a true Gryffindor to pull that out of the hat.

*I smiled at Harry but then something came to mind. Adam. Dumbledore saw my worry.*

Dumbledore: Something troubling you, Jason?

*I had to be honest with him.*

Jason: It's Adam, sir. He's my brother.

*Dumbledore nodded and looked at me.*

Dumbledore: Yes he is. He was one of the best students in Charles' school. Before he changed.

Jason: Changed?

*Dumbledore got up and showed me a picture of him next to Tom.*

Dumbledore: When Adam arrived to Hogwarts after Charles had asked me to watch him, he bonded with Tom. I could sense some darkness in him. Unfortunately, as much as I tried desperately to bring him back, Sabertooth took over him.

*That left me confused.*

Jason: "Sabertooth"?

Dumbledore: His codename. Hence why his fingernails are claws, and his teeth are sharpened.
