That was dead odd.
I just followed Gin to the secret room. She was acting completely... guilty. Um, that's not the word I mean, but sort of like that. She was carrying something and she just looked like she didn't want anyone to see what she had, which- well, let's just say that's an excellent way to get your brothers' attention in a family like ours.
So I followed her and she went to the room. And it let her in! I mean, she knew to walk three times past the door, and she was thinking really hard about what she wanted, you could tell. It was all she was thinking about. I mean, if she'd turned around, she'd have seen me, but she never did. Even before she opened the door. I mean, when I go in, I always look to make sure no one's around to see. Don't you?
Anywiz.
She was in for a while. And when she came out, she didn't have it any more. The box she'd been carrying.
I'd ducked into that alcove at the end of the corridor, and y'know, we should be really careful about that. Just in case. Because someone could hide there and watch us come and go. If they ever got suspicious. It's a pretty good hiding place, actually, because when she came out, she was looking all around as if she'd realised she ought to look sharp to be sure no one saw her.
Once she was gone, I went in. Well, actually, it took me a while. It wouldn't open at first. I was thinking that I needed to find what she hid in there, but that didn't do it. So then I tried thinking that I needed to hide something because I figured that's what she'd been thinking. Only, I don't know. When I went in it was like a giant attic with mountains of old things in, and I looked for a long time, but I couldn't find anything like the box I'd seen her with. Maybe it didn't want me to. Or maybe she told it not to let anyone find it. Or maybe- yeah. I really don't know.
Maybe it doesn't matter what it was. Only, Evelyn told me that she'd seen a box in Ginny's trunk the other day when they spent time together and that Ginny'd got all upset when Ev saw it. So. Maybe... maybe Ginny stole something from somebody and she's afraid she'll get caught with it now Evelyn knows she had the box. Only, it was just a wooden box, right Ev? That's what she was carrying tonight so far as I could tell. Just an ordinary box. About the size of our Charms textbook, y'know, but a little deeper, maybe.
I'm actually more worried, though, that she knows about the room. And she knows how to make it open when she wants.
That's not really good.
