The silence along the corridor was broken by giggles, seemingly coming from nowhere, the sound of footsteps hurrying down the hallway. A moment later, a young witch appeared, shaking back her hair and stowing Harry's Invisibility Cloak in a small bag that was slung over her shoulder.
"Swedish Fish." She whispered, still giggling faintly, and she watched as the gargoyle covering the entrance to Dumbledore's office leaped aside. Ginny moved forwards, onto the moving staircase, keeping as close to the wall as she could. When she reached the top of the tower, she cautiously opened the door and peered into the Headmaster's office, her giggles now replaced by a nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach.
She was lucky; it was empty.
Stepping into the room, the first thing Ginny noticed was the large, magnificent phoenix, watching her curiously from his perch. Praying that the bird wouldn't go to get his master, she moved over to Dumbledore's desk. This was something she'd wanted to do for a very long time… it was about time he was weaned from them, anyway…
It only took her a few more steps to get to the large, intricately decorated desk, and then a few minutes to search through the drawers to find what she were looking for. Her eyes widened, she was lucky that she had asked Hermione to magically make the inside of her bag much bigger than it appeared from the outside, all of these would never fit in otherwise. With a light smile, she began to grab handfuls of the contents of the drawer, stuffing them all into the handbag. Once or twice, she froze, thinking that she heard someone moving just outside the room, but when nobody entered, she continued.
It wasn't long before Ginny had managed to retrieve everything from the drawer and, giving the desk one last quick search, she darted from the room and burst out into the hallway, laughing as she sprinted back towards the Gryffindor common room. In her bag? Dumbledore's lemon drop supply.
