HP the Gryffindor Heir and the Labyrinth

At The Beginning
Ginny stood on a hill, overlooking the vast Labyrinth. The wind was blowing her flame colored hair in all directions and she swept it off her face.
"You're trying to tell me," she said, turning to face the Goblin King, who was standing behind her. "That I have 13 hours to get to the centre of that?" she finished, pointing at the maze.
"Yes," Jareth nodded. "You do." Ginny let out a frustrated sigh. "I have already told you Virginia, that it is almost impossible to complete it. It is best just if you just give up and go home. That way, we wouldn't be wasting each others time." Ginny glared at him. "You wouldn't complete it in time."
"Wasting time? Wasting time!" she shouted at him, her Weasley temper getting the better of her. "I didn't mean to wish him away! Damn it! If I knew that this place was real, would I have been foolish enough to wish away the one and only boy who has a chance against Voldemort in the final battle!" The Goblin King looked surprised for a mere second, and then replaced the look with a sneer.
"Seems like it now rests in your hands now Virginia Weasley," he said as he produced a crystal. "You have thirteen hours Virginia," he said dropping the crystal and disappearing in front of her eyes.
She turned and faced the challenge that was set out in front of her.
"Ok Ginny, if you get through this, you can take the NEWTS one year early," she consoled herself. "You weren't the top witch in your year for nothing you know. You HAVE to beat this Labyrinth Ginny. For Harry's sake and for the rest of the Wizarding World." Taking a deep breath, she made her way towards the Labyrinth. With her wand in hand and with her chin up high, she was determined to get to the castle and get Harry back.

Meanwhile back at Hogwarts, three students were running to Dumbledore's office.
"What is the meaning of this?" spoke a voice, that made Ron, Hermione and Colin freeze in their tracks. "Really Miss Granger, I would have thought more of you," said Professor McGonagall, stepping out from the shadows.
"Professor we need to see Professor Dumbledore immediately!" exclaimed Hermione.
"At this hour Miss Granger?"
"Yes Professor, its Harry," began Ron, but the strict Professor cut him off.
"Really Mr Weasley, what has that boy got himself into now? You better come with me."
The trio silently followed McGonagall towards Dumbledore's office. Once they reached the gargoyle, she gave it the password, 'Ton Tongue Toffees'. Ron snorted at this. It was a sweet from his older twin brothers joke shop, 3W (Weasleys Wizard Wheezes). The gargoyle moved aside, to reveal the staircase leading up to Dumbledore's office.
Once they were inside, they saw the headmaster, sitting behind his desk, as if he's been expecting them.
"Ah Miss Granger, Mr Weasley and Mr Creevey?" he said with a small smile on his face. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this late visit? I'm sure it has something to do with the wards of the school being disturbed fifteen minutes ago?"
The three friends sat down on the seats opposite the headmaster. Colin looked very nervous. He's never been in Dumbledore's office before.
"Well professor," said Hermione. "Colin and I were telling Ginny about the film, the Labyrinth, and Ginny said that she wish the Goblin King would take Harry away, as a joke. She didn't know it would come true sir."
"Ah," said the elderly wizard. "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. Ginny wished Harry into the hands of Jareth and she has to get through his Labyrinth to get Harry back. I'm afraid it's out of my hands." The three students wore identically worried looks.
"But what will happen if Ginny doesn't beat the Labyrinth?" asked Ron.
"Let us hope that it won't come to that. Ginny is a smart and resourceful young lady. She also has the advantage of the use of her wand. Even Queen Sarah did not have hers when she ventured into the Labyrinth."
"Sarah . Sarah Williams was a witch?" said Colin, who was surprised at this revelation.
"Yes," smiled the headmaster. "One of the most resourceful and brilliant witches I have seen here, during my time at Hogwarts. She made Gryffindor house proud. Wonderful Head Girl as well." He looked at Hermione. "You, Miss Granger have beaten her OWL record by one. No one has ever had more than 20 OWLS. You may go."
The trio got up to leave.
"Oh Mr Weasley, I wouldn't worry too much about Harry. Jareth will go easy on him when he knows who he really is."
Ron, Hermione, and Colin exchanged puzzled glances at each other and left the Headmasters office.
