Chapter 12

She walked in, and the Great hall was empty, she sighed, but grabbed a seat in the center of the table. She got out her books, and started to read her Defense against the dark arts textbook. By the time she reached chapter two, the food magically appeared onto the tables, and she decided to start eating, and get back to her studying. She had only finished a bagel by the time the first people started coming in. Since there was no one from Gryffindor yet, she pushed her empty plate away, and opened her text again. After about twenty minutes, the tables were starting to get crowded, there were Gryffindors, but all of them avoided Ginny, she smirked and went back to her reading.

Soon after, Colin came and sat down in the empty bench beside her. "You eaten anything yet?" He asked while shoveling macaroni and cheese onto his plate.

"Yeah, had some food a few minutes ago. Had free periods, so I came here early." She said not looking up from her book.

"How did you get off double potions?" Asked the shocked Colin.

"I don't know, Snape never showed." She said, still concentrating on her book.

"Wonder where he is." Asked Colin with a mouth full of food.

"Yeah, so do I." She said finally looking up and looking at the head table. It only took her a second to notice that he still wasn't present, but she also noticed the missing Headmaster. "Where's Dumbledore?" She asked, knowing she wouldn't get an answer.

"How should I know?" he asked. Ginny smiled and shook her head at him. She then glanced over at the Slytherin table, and took note of the missing faces. She couldn't name all the ones missing, but she saw Draco, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini weren't there. By now her suspicion was growing, and a frown crept onto her face.

After swallowing all the food in his mouth, he asked, "What's up Gin?"

Ginny's frown deepened, before her face relaxed slightly. "Oh, nothing, just thinking about something." When he excepted her excuse, he went back to stuffing his face. Watching him almost made Ginny want to be sick. "You are almost a bigger pig than my brothers, did you know that?" She said giving him a mock disgusted look. "Hey, that reminds me, did you ever owl your mom to see if you can come to Percy's wedding?"

"I didn't tell you? Oh...my bad! But yeah, she says it's cool, but she did ask if I could go over for Christmas day...is that okay with you guys?" He asked timidly.

"Course, you shouldn't have to ask to spend Christmas with your family! My dad could arrange for a tow way portkey to your house. He does have his connections. Now, I have to go to DADA, and hopefully it will not be as boring as last time. Tata!" She stated, then left quickly for her next class with the Hufflepuffs.

She walked in and the teacher said hello, she quickly took a seat at the back of the class, not wanting to cause to much attention drawn towards her.

She took out her text book, and looked to the board for further instructions. She looked down again for another moment, and saw that her teacher was looking straight at her.

"Miss Weasley, how far are you in the text?" He asked out of the blue.

"Um, chapter three?" Hoping that, that was the right answer.

"Okay, well it seems you are caught up, now would you mind if I asked you a favor, seeing as how you are the only one here?" He asked.

"Ginny looked at him suspiciously before answering slowly. "Sure..."

"Okay, I need you to take this note to Dumbledore. He should be in his office by now, and he will be wanting to get this as quickly as possible. Now, you can leave your books here, I'm sure it wont take long." He said while walking over and holding out a role of parchment. Ginny took it, and stood up. "Thank you." He said, then turned back to the front of the class. Just as she walked out of the room, she could see the rest of the class coming. She walked by them, then turned down an empty hall that led almost straight to the Headmaster's office. When she got to the Gargoyle, she realized that she didn't have the password, and mentally smacked herself in the forehead. Then she looked down at the parchment she was holding, and noticed the small writing of her teacher. All the little letters said was "Smores". She said it out loud, and the statue sprung out of her way.

She then walked up to his door, and knocked twice. It opened up for her, but she couldn't see anyone in the room. She walked in slowly, then stopped as she heard whispers coming from a room to the side. She looked over to the door at her left, and it was open a small crack. It was like somebody else was in control of her body, she knew she should leave the note on his desk and walk out, but she couldn't help having a closer look.

She walked up to the crack in the door, and opened it a little more with as mush stealth as she could muster up. At first she couldn't see anything because the room was pitch black, then her eyes grew accustom to the darkness and she could make out the voice of one of the missing staff.

"Dumbledore, I'm not sure if we can even help him, we need to brew a potion, but looking at this book, I can tell you, almost every ingredient is class non-tradable. It would be illegal to brew." Explained Madam Pince.

"I am willing to do that for Severus. He gave his life for us, and if I have the chance to give it back to him, I will do it, no matter the repercussions."

"But Albus, this is a complex potion, and seeing as how Severus was our potions master, not many people are at his skill level. We need professionals to do this." Said Madam Pomfrey.

"How long does he have before the effects are irreversible?" Albus asked.

"A month, tops." Said Madam Pince.

"I know some students that could make it. Under supervision of course. They are at the top of their class and Snape seems to be fond of them. They will be contacted immediately." He said in a somber tone.

"You are going to trust this task in the hands of mere children?" Asked Madam Pince.

"I would trust my students with my life. Now right now, I need to contact a few "people" to acquire some of the ingredients.

Ginny was about to step away from the door, when Fawkes gave a loud screech and started causing a commotion when he woke form his sleep after seeing Ginny. She could just see Madam Pomfrey turn around and look out the crack of the door. She was about to yell something, but Ginny was already on her feet, and she did the only logical thing in her head, she ran for it. She ran all the way out his office, past the statue, then all the way to her DADA class. She waited outside the door for a few moments, trying to catch her breath, hoping beyond all hopes that they hadn't recognized her.

She quickly smoothed her hair down with her hand, and walked into the class. The teacher looked at her for a second, then went back to talking about protective spells. She sat down at her seat in the back, and opened her text to the proper page. The rest of the class went by uneventfully. Same with her History of magic class, but nothing ever happens in that anyways. So after classes were over for the day, she went up to the common room, and put her books back. Her last few classes were so boring she felt as if she could fall asleep any instant, so she went to sit on the couch, but ended up lying down and quickly falling asleep. She finally woke up an hour later, and went up to the comfort of her bed. She was asleep again within seconds. She had a strange dream.

She was running down an endless hall, she could tell the people chasing her were getting closer every second. She turned down halls after halls, then she was suddenly falling. She landed with a thump on he hard bottom, and when she looked up, she saw the face of a giant Dumbledore looking down on her. She looked around and noticed that she was inside a cauldron. She tried to jump out, but she was too small. So she jumped onto the broom that magically appeared, and she flew to the divinations tower. She met Draco, and he started to tell her, her future. She threw a teacup at him, and ran down the ladder and down the tower stairs, but she tripped and fell all the way down the rest of them.

She woke up being very confused by her random dream, but she soon forgot it as she fell back asleep.
