A/N: How y'all doing y'all? OK, another update, one that reveals that Ron is indeed Edmund! ("No, really?" go the sarcastic readers) At first I was going to make it Harry, and then Voldy could bribe him with treacle tart, but, nah, Harry has to be Peter.

Disclaimer: You'll all know I'm JKR when the seventh book comes out, and there's a new, unexpected twist – Dobby's tea cosy is a horcrux!

Ginny ran out of the room into the hall and found the other three.

"I'm alright." She panted. "I came back."

"What are you talking about, Ginny?" asked Hermione.

"What, haven't you all been wondering where I was?" asked Ginny.

"What do you mean?" said Ron. "Why would we be wondering where you were? You were with us a few seconds ago."

"But… but I've been away for hours!" said Ginny.

Ron, Hermione and Harry all stared at each other.

"Are you taking the Mickey?" asked Ron finally.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"I mean that I've been away for hours! I went into the cabinet just after breakfast, and had tea with a giant, and-"

"Ginny, we've just had breakfast." said Hermione. "And we only just left the Cabinet Room."

"She's just making stuff up." said Ron to Harry and Hermione.

"No, Ron, I'm not!" exclaimed Ginny. "It's a magic cabinet! There's a forest inside it, and it's snowing there, and there's a giant called Hagrid and wizards and witches and it's called Hogwarts and… just come and see!"

The others shrugged and followed Ginny. They were all wondering why she was making up stories. She ran ahead and opened the cabinet.

"There!" said Ginny triumphantly.

"But, Ginny," said Hermione. "It's just an ordinary cabinet."

"No, that's what I thought, too! Try knocking on the back!"

Ron rolled his eyes and rapped his knuckles hard on the back of the cabinet. It was quite solid.

"But… but…" Ginny was annoyed. She knew she hadn't imagined Hogwarts, but where had it gone?

"Nice joke, Ginny." said Ron, also annoyed.

"It's not a joke! It was all there a minute ago!"

"Ginny-" said Hermione with concern.

"Don't Ginny me! Hogwarts is real!" And with that, Ginny stomped from the room.

For the next couple of days, Ginny felt extremely miserable. She knew she was right, so she wasn't going to back down and let her git of a brother win the fight.

Ron thought that Ginny was upset over something else. She had to be – why would she be upset over something she knew wasn't real? It was either that, or that she was just trying to get attention.

Harry and Hermione, however, were worried about Ginny. They thought she might be hurt because of something Ron had said. This was much unlike Ginny, though. Ginny could have been lying, of course, but that was unlike her too. In fact, Harry and Hermione were wondering if perhaps she thought she was telling the truth, and that there was something wrong with her.

The worst part of it was that with Ron and Ginny surly towards one another, it was very difficult to make good use of their time at the Professor's house. After the first day, the weather had become fine again, and Harry and Hermione wished they were using it well. But, instead, Harry ended up going to hang around a sulky Ron whilst Hermione talked with an upset Ginny.

Exactly a week from the "Cabinet Incident", it rained again. Hermione suggested that they play hide-and-seek, as Professor Dumbledore's house seemed perfect for it. She persuaded Ron to play, and Harry got Ginny to reluctantly agree.

Harry was It, and Ron, Hermione and Ginny ran off to hide. Ron, who still didn't know the house very well, stopped at a random door and pulled it open. It was the Cabinet Room. Just as he opened the door, he saw Ginny disappear behind the hinges of the cabinet. He wondered what she was doing in there, and if she was planning to stay in there for a little while and pretend to go to Hogwarts once again.

Seeing it as too big an opportunity of proving his sister wrong to miss, Ron slowly tiptoed up to the cabinet and opened the door. He was stunned when he didn't find Ginny inside. Well, in truth, he couldn't see anything inside. It was just as bare as it had been a week ago. He took a step inside.

"Ginny?" he asked tentatively into the darkness. "If you're there, don't ignore me." There wasn't a sound, not even a tiny rustle of Ginny shifting slightly sideways.

But he'd seen Ginny go into the wardrobe! Maybe it was just too dark for him to see properly. But it wasn't a very big cabinet. Ron's head was spinning. He was beginning to feel claustrophobic. He needed to get out of the cabinet!

Suddenly Ron realised why it was so dark. The door of the cabinet had closed behind him. He felt disorientated. Which way was the door?

Ron pushed against where he'd thought the door was. There was nothing there. He reached further forwards. He must have walked further into the cabinet than he'd realised!

There was a sudden flash of bright light, and Ron worked out that he was no longer standing inside the cabinet. He was in a large, frost-covered forest. So Ginny had been telling the truth after all. How idiotic would he look when Harry and Hermione found out?

Ginny must be here, too, Ron realised. Probably with that giant she mentioned.

Well, that was no help to him at that moment. He didn't have a clue where he would be. Ron turned to try and find a way back home. He saw a cabinet behind him, identical to the one in the Professor's house. He had just opened the door to head back when he heard voices.

"…My Lord, you are too powerful. He could not possibly effect your power." said one, nervous sort of voice.

"Yes, even so," said another, cold sneering voice. "I would like to be kept informed on happenings."

"I beg your pardon, My Lord." said the first voice. "But I think that Hagrid truly knew nothing."

The two people speaking came into the clearing, and Ron was able to take a look at them. One was fat, with a balding head and an oily face. He looked nervous, and was fidgeting with his hands.

The other was the most horrible person he could ever remember seeing. A bald head set with red, cat-like eyes. An almost flat nose with snake-like slits for nostrils. Thin lips that looked as though they had long forgotten how to smile. Ron could tell instantly that this was the owner of the second voice.

"What are you doing down here?" asked the snake-man. "This forest isn't for children. Get up to the castle immediately!"

"Um," said Ron. "What?"

"Is that how you address a Lord?" he asked with a glower at Ron.

"Lord?" asked Ron.

"What is wrong with you, boy? Are you not familiar with the headmaster of the school?"

"But this isn't my school!" protested Ron. "I get home schooled! And anyway, it's the holidays!"

A/N: Dun dun dun dunnnnn! Ron's met Voldy! What should I use as the Turkish Delight? I was thinking chocolate éclairs… but whatever. Review! Pwease?
