A/N: Another chapter, sorry about the shortness, AGAIN. 'Nuff said.

Disclaimer: …I got nothing!

It took Ginny and a half-hearted Ron a while to find Harry and Hermione, for in Professor Dumbledore's house the game of hide and seek was still being played. Although after about ten minutes, they found Hermione (Harry had been It) and Ginny told them both in a fast, excited voice;

"It's all true! Hogwarts is real and on the other side of the cabinet and now Ron's been there, too, and I had tea with Hagrid again and I'm not quite sure what Ron did, but he'll tell you I'm sure, or maybe he didn't get long enough time in there to do anything, but whatever, let's go back together!"

"Ron?" asked Harry, blinking.

Ron's mind was whirring. What should he do? She was his little sister. He should be nice and tell the truth. But he didn't want to feel like an idiot in front of Harry and Hermione, and let Ginny win their week-long fight. And so, because Ron felt sick from all the éclairs and annoyed at Ginny for being right, he did something quite horrible.

"Well, you see, Ginny and I have been playing. Pretending that her story is true." said Ron with a snigger. "It's not, of course" he added. Ginny gave Ron a glare of betrayal and ran from the room.

"Ron! You prat!" said Hermione.

"What?" asked Ron, taken aback.

"You let Ginny believe her story was true! Stop messing with her, you git!"

"But… but it isn't true!" said Ron.

"Exactly! But Ginny seems to think that there is a Hogwarts, and I think there might be something wrong with her. But whatever it is, you're not going to help by jeering at her and playing with her head!" Hermione screeched.

"Look, guys-" started Harry.

"What?" yelled Ron and Hermione at the same time.

"Don't start. Look, Hermione, you go and find Ginny, OK?"

"Alright." agreed Hermione, and with a last glare at Ron she rushed from the room, her mane of bushy hair whipping around behind her.

It was an unpleasant evening. Ginny wasn't talking to Ron or Harry, and she said very little to Hermione. Ron didn't say much at all, still annoyed at Hermione jumping to his little sister's defence and at Harry for not defending him. Harry and Hermione both made very forced conversation.

The next morning, Harry woke up early. Seeing that Ron was still asleep, he tiptoed to the girls room and saw that Hermione was also awake.

"Can't sleep?" asked Hermione, laying down her book.

"No," replied Harry. "I'm worried about Ginny."

"Oh, me too, Harry." said Hermione wearily. "But what are we to do?"

"Well, we could go to see Dumbledore." suggested Harry. "He could be a Professor of the mind, we never did ask him. And he would write to Mr Weasley if he thought that anything was wrong."

Hermione agreed, so the two got dressed and made their way to Professor Dumbledore's study. Hermione knocked softly on the large door.

"Come in." said Dumbledore's gentle voice from the other side of the door. Harry and Hermione both rushed in and started telling him the whole Cabinet story. Dumbledore listened intently, surveying them over the tips of his long fingers. When they had finished, he stated simply but very seriously;

"How do you know that Miss Weasley's story is not true?"

"Oh, but-" said Hermione, and then stopped. "But forests don't just appear in cabinets, Professor!"

"And Ron said they were only playing." added Harry.

"Well, that is certainly a point to consider." Dumbledore agreed. "Both your friend and his sister had contradicting stories. Which leads us to the question, if you will permit me to ask it, who would you say is usually more truthful?"

"Well," said Hermione, considering. "Probably Ginny. But-"

"Well if Miss Weasley is usually the more truthful, then it is quite rude of us to accuse her of lying."

"But we were worried that she might not be lying, exactly." said Harry.

"Oh, insanity?" asked Dumbledore vaguely, and Harry and Hermione nodded. "No, no, she's not insane. One only has to talk to her to see that."

"But-"

"There are three possibilities, Miss Weasley is lying, mad, or telling the truth. We know she isn't mad and you said herself that she very rarely lies. Therefore we must for now except that she is telling the truth."

"But there was no time!" exclaimed Harry. "Ginny ran out straight afterwards!"

"How do you know that this Cabinet doesn't jumble time?" asked Dumbledore seriously. Harry and Hermione couldn't think of an answer to that, and that was the end of the conversation.

The week went on, until on Thursday Dumbledore held a meeting in his house. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny saw a bald, black man and a man with a scarred head and a weird, coin shaped eye until Filch came along and said;

"The Professor is holding a meeting."

"So?" asked Ron rudely.

"So keep out of the way!" hissed Filch. The foursome shrugged and continued sitting around on the stairs.

That is, until the door of Dumbledore's study opened, and they heard footsteps and voices approaching.

"They must be heading for the library!" exclaimed Hermione.

"What'll Filch do to us if we get in the way?" asked Harry. The four exchanged glances, and decided that they didn't want to know. The footsteps getting louder, they ran up the stairs.

"Where to?" asked Ron.

"Anywhere!" said Harry, and pushed open the door to his left. Ginny, Hermione and Ron followed him through.

"Oh dear." said Hermione. It was, of course, the Cabinet Room.

"Well, at least no one will follow us in here." breathed Harry. Just then the doorknob rattled and turned. Ron swore.

"There's nowhere else!" said Hermione, and flung open the door of the Cabinet. Harry, Ron and Ginny hastily followed her.
