She wondered, as she lightly massaged the top of her head, whether she had been too noisy or whether he had some sort of alarm system rigged. She supposed he might have made a lucky guess as to where she'd gone if he'd heard her leave her room - it'd be pretty obvious she was in there once he tried the door and found it unlocked.
The pain from hitting her head started to ease and she lowered her arms and bit the inside of her cheek as she weighed up her options. She could stay silent in the hope that he wouldn't call her bluff and actively look for her, he'd find her pretty fast if he did. Alternatively, she could reveal herself and straight up ask him for what she wanted and risk him sussing out what she was up to. There weren't really any drawbacks that she could see to telling him but she didn't want him to know all the same. He might have requested no secrets but as far as she was concerned if it wasn't the sort of secret that might trigger her vow, he didn't need to know.
Of course she could always announce herself and then lie about what she was looking for but she highly doubted he'd give her an opportunity to stay behind to continue her search and then she'd miss her opportunity for the month. How many potions called for death's head-hawk moths and was he aware they were required for an animagus potion?
Unsure of what she was going to tell him, she was at least sure of one thing: hiding any longer would make her look stupid if he found her, which he probably would. Crawling out from underneath the desk, she reflected on her wise decision, this way she could make the undignified transition from hiding place to standing without feeling his watchful gaze upon her. "You'd look rather stupid right now if I wasn't." She was stood behind the desk for a moment before brazenly plopping herself down in his chair.
