    ... Something that belonged to the founders…" Susan tilted her head to the side. "So why the diary?" she asked reasonably. "What value did that hold?" Harry bit his lip. "You forget what that diary was made to do," he countered. "It was meant to open the Chamber of Secrets, and underlined his connection to the place." He frowned. "We know he used something from Slytherin, so it would be logical to assume he searched for something from the other founders as well. As far as we know, the only known relic of Gryffindor is safe."

Blaise, Daphne, and Luna were ecstatic that they could join in. Once more, pamphlets on job possibilities appeared in the common rooms over the break, for the fifth years to peruse in preparation for their career counseling meetings the next week. Ginny was set to meet with McGonagall on Wednesday during her free period. When classes started back up again, Harry and his friends felt a little calmer, having had the time to catch up and in some cases, get a little ahead, in their studies. Ginny met with McGonagall as scheduled, feeling slightly apprehensive. Minerva smiled when the youngest Weasley entered her office, and gestured for her to take a seat. "This is an informal meeting, Ginny. I'm just here to help you focus on your interests. Have you thought about what you would like to do after graduation?" Ginny bit her lip.
