Chapter 13
She walked along the corridor in silence. The darkness was setting in and the rain was hammering the window panes. The darkness caused the corridors to look creepy. Ginny jumped at the sound off hurried footsteps coming towards her.
It was Hermione and she looked really upset as her eyes were red and puffing and she was crying.
"Ginny, Ginny!" she called sprinting towards her "What?" Ginny cried running closer, her heart staring to race.
"Its Ron" Hermione sobbed "He's been taken to St Mungos" Hermione covered her eyes in a shaky hand.
"Why?" Ginny shouted eagerly "His leg, him and Harry were in the dark forest and Ron got attacked by a Laggitckle" Hermione panted through her sobs.
"Gosh, come on lets go" Ginny said sprinting away
"Where?" Hermione called after her running behind
"Dumbledore!" Ginny replied
"Why?"
"Details, port key" Ginny through her hands in the air when she reached the end of the corridor. "Where is Dumbledore's office" She rounded on Hermione
"Second floor" Hermione said offhandedly "Why do you want a port key?" She added
"To visit my brother, are you thick? I need to get in contact with mum" She ran along the corridor, up a flight of stairs and along the corridor with Hermione lagging behind. She stopped at the entrance to Dumbledore's office, the two stone gargoyles were laughing.
"What's the password?" She turned around to look at Hermione
Hermione ran up holding her side and shaking her head
"DAMN!" shouted Ginny kicking a nearby classroom door
"Temper temper little girl" Tutted the right gargoyle "Shut up you idiot!" Snarled Ginny
"Now now shouting gets you nowhere" said the left gargoyle shaking his head
"Get lost you stupid statue!" Bellowed Ginny
"Come on Ginny" Said Hermione gently pulling Ginny's arm "Let's go to McGonagall she will help"
"I'm telling Dumbledore to blow up these pigs" Sneered Ginny at the gargoyles
"Go with your friend little girl, she has sense, you are not coming through here" Gloated the right gargoyle smiling
Ginny ruined to leave when she saw the staircase behind the door move and Dumbledore briskly walking down.
"Dumbledore!" Ginny called to him in relief
Dumbledore turned around to see who called. He spotted Ginny and smiled. He held both hand up to motion Ginny not to speak as she opened her mouth.
"Ginevra, I was coming to find you" he said stepping the final step "I presume Miss Granger has informed you about your brother?"
Ginny nodded
"He is fine, just a little shocked but that's to be expected, that was a nasty bite he received" He said in a gentle caring voice, observing her over his half moon spectacles
"Does Dad and Mum know?" Ginny blurted out in a state of shock
"Yes your mother does, fwakes informed her right away, your father would have heard through Molly I expect. I should think your mother would be making her way to St Mungos as we speak" Dumbledore said looking at his pocket watch.
"I shall issue you a port key right away as you imagined" He said observing her again
"Now Miss Granger you did not see this ok?"
Hermione nodded "No sir I was looking for Ginny
"Exactly" he nodded briefly
"Now let me see" He muttered ferreting about in his pockets of his robes. "AHA!" he said triumphantly pulling a sherbet lemon wrapper out of his pockets.
He pulled out his wand and tapped the wrapper "Portus" he muttered. The wrapper glowed electric blue for a few seconds then went back to see through as normal.
"Now Ginny" Dumbledore said looking up and down her "This will transport you to St Mungos atrium, you're mother should be waiting for you, incase she dos not know Rom will be in Aviemore Strathcarron's ward on the first floor, nice chap he is, now you will be traveling alone and will return before midnight via floo powder to my office"
Ginny nodded slowly reality sinking in.
"Now on the count of three you will be transported, Ginny do not let go of the wrapper" He said quietly and sternly
He gave Ginny the wrapper and she grasped it tightly.
"Three...two...one" Dumbledore's word echoed in the distance as Ginny was lifted up and span at a very high speed.
She walked along the corridor in silence. The darkness was setting in and the rain was hammering the window panes. The darkness caused the corridors to look creepy. Ginny jumped at the sound off hurried footsteps coming towards her.
