Chapter 10 – Green Eyes
I was frozen. Petrified to be exact. Snape was the first to see us. He stopped on his tracks and looked at us like he couldn’t believe we were there. Right behind him was Alecto, who stumbled on him and then looked around to see what was that had gotten Snape’s attention. And she saw us too and then her brother did. And then they all knew we were there. Okay, so now we are officially basted. Damn.
Amycus was the first one to break the silence the shock caused.
“You little monsters!” he screamed with his squeaky voice. “You filthy kids of the blood traitors!”
The next moment he pulled his wand out from his robe and was ready to attack us, but Neville was faster. He sent a curse against him before he could perform his own, but Snape blocked it easily and then turned to us again. It was obvious that he was furious but there was something more in his face that I couldn’t quite get. I hurried and pulled my own wand out, Luna doing the same next to me.
“What are you going to do?” Alecto asked. “Fight us?”
I grunted and sent a full Bat-Boogey curse after her as a reply. Snape blocked that too. She walked forward, her wand pointed at me.
“Crucio!” she yelled.
“NO!”
My whole body stiffened but the curse never got me. Neville fell in front of me and the curse hit him instead. He fell down heavily and started wriggling on the floor, trying to hold his screams back, but he couldn’t quite manage it. I had never been under the cruciatus curse and never before today had I seen someone under its influence; I was completely shocked, I couldn’t even blink or tear my eyes away from Neville. Luna next to me knelt down beside him.
“Stop!” Luna yelled. “STOP! Please stop!”
She laughed. I couldn’t even control myself as my anger clouded every other thought and I launched against Alecto, forgetting all about my wand and slapping her across the face. She wasn’t expecting something like that; she was completely taken aback, which helped me push her down with all my strength. She fell down, her wand slipping from her hand and the curse lifting from Neville.
I didn’t had the chance to go for her one more time though, because Amycus had too crossed the room and before I could register it, before I could back away, he punched me right on the face. I gasped and beside my best efforts, I too fell on the floor from the strength of the blow, holding my face. I felt something sticky against my skin. Blood. Great, that troll broke my nose.
“You think you’re brave pretty lady?” he laughed from above me. “We’ll see how brave you’ll be when I’m through with you!”
And with that he grabbed my arms and pulled me up roughly.
“Let go of her!” Neville yelled from behind me as Luna helped him on his feet again.
“ENOUGH!”
Amycus let go of my arms like he was hit by electric shock, as Snape advanced forward. I didn’t back down, but Luna and Neville came next to me.
“Amycus, Alecto!” Snape bellowed and both of them looked at him obediently. “This is my office and I will not allow you to destroy it for three stupid kids!”
“This is not your office!” I yelled. “This is Dumbledore’s office, you murderer!”
Neville made to stand in front of me again as Amycus raised his wand this time, but Snape disarmed him before he could act.
“What are you doing?” he demanded furiously as his sister picked his wand up.
“Again this is my office and it’s my responsibility to take care of any intruders!” Snape said.
“Oh, I get it”, Alecto smiled. “You want all the fun for yourself, Severus”.
“But if they broke into your office then they must be the ones that wrote those slogans on the wall outside”, Amycus said.
My eyes widened. There was no way I was going to let Luna and Neville to pay for that too. Before I could confess though that it was just me, Snape sneered.
“Longbottom?” he said looking at Neville. “That buffoon isn’t capable of holding his wand straight not pulling off something like this. I should know I used to teach him for six years!”
Neville made to raise his wand but Luna held his hand, shaking her head.
“Yes, but the other two?” Alecto questioned. “The little blood traitor and Lovegood’s daughter!”
Snape considered us for a few seconds.
“No”, he said then. “There must be someone else organizing them”.
“Then we should torture them to learn who!”
“Easy Amycus”, Snape said. “Why are you inside my office?” he questioned us then.
“To take Gryffindor’s sword from you”, I replied making both Neville and Luna gasp.
“What?” Snape asked taken aback. “And what good would that do to you?”
“It’s Gryffindor’s sword!” I shouted. “It doesn’t belong in here! It doesn’t belong with you!”
“Are you seriously that idiotic?” Snape asked. “You risked your heads to get something you couldn’t even use?”
“Yeah, we did”, Luna replied from my side. “But I guess bravery seems idiotic to you, professor”.
“You silly girl”, he said shaking his head. “Do you have any idea what we can to do you? What we have to…?”
He stopped his sentence in mid air as his eyes fell on the photo I was holding, that had slipped through my hands and was now on the floor. The woman of the picture was still laughing blissfully. I could swear that Snape’s face whitened so fast like it was sprayed with paint. He looked up at us wide-eyed and then he scooped down and picked the picture up.
“Where did you find this?” he questioned, looking way more furious than a minute before.
“In you drawers”, I replied. “What do you have to do with that picture?”
“That is not any of your business Miss Weasley, is it?”
“But it is!” I shouted. “Why do you have a picture of that woman?”
“Alecto, Amycus!” Snape yelled turning to them. “Go and get me Hagrid”.
“Hagrid?” Alecto asked confused.
“Didn’t I already said that? Go! Now!”
Both of them walked out of the office looking rather disappointed to leave.
“Listen to me, Miss Weasley”, he said with a soft voice when they left. “You shall never ever speak to anyone about this”.
“Oh, really?” I snorted. I wasn’t good at keeping secrets and sure as hell wasn’t going to try to do so for Snape. “Make me”.
Snape’s wand moved so fast that Neville didn’t have time to stand in front of me and I didn’t have time to even raise mine. I flew in the air and banged on the wall right beneath Dumbledore’s empty portrait. Dizziness clouded my mind for a few moments as I slid down the wall on a sitting position, my head throbbing painfully.
“No, Longbottom!” Snape yelled and I opened my eyes to see Neville’s wand fly from his hand. Luna was right next to me. She grabbed my arm and pulled me up. It didn’t took me long to get over the hit though and I walked forward again.
“Why do you have this picture?” I asked Snape again.
“Whose picture is it?” Neville asked as he stood between me and the hateful man.
“It’s someone that has nothing to do with you, Longbottom”, Snape said angrily. “It’s someone I know”.
“You’re lying!” I pointed out the obvious. “Or do you think that I don’t know who that is? You think I can’t recognize her when she has the exact same eyes as her son?”
Snape was actually trembling from anger; his eyes were but two splits and a vein had popped on his forehead. I had dropped my wand, so I had nothing to protect myself from the attack I was sure there was going to come, when he was able to overcome his shock. Meanwhile, Neville looked completely puzzled, but Luna walked forward to stand beside me, looking at the back of the picture on Snape’s left hand.
“This is Harry’s mum?” she questioned. Neville gasped.
“No”, Snape said.
“Yes!” I retorted.
Snape laughed softly.
“I hate to break this to you Miss Weasley, but not the entire world revolves around you Harry Potter”, he said.
Oh yeah, wanna bet?
“If that’s not Lilly Potter, then I’ll chop my head off!” I cried out more dramatically than I meant to but whatever.
Before Snape could say anything else Alecto and Amycus entered, Hagrid behind them. Hagrid was extremely upset and as result he banged his head on a shelf, but he ignored it and hurried next to us.
“They ain’t guilty of anythin”, he said taking my hand. He looked up at him questioningly. What was he getting at? We were caught in the act. “I told ‘em to come ‘ere”.
“WHAT?” both Neville and Amycus cried out.
“No, you didn’t, Hagrid”, I said coolly. “He didn’t”, I repeated addressing Snape.
“I know he didn’t”, Snape smirked. “You can’t get them out of this Hagrid. So, please keep your head on Miss Weasley, we have no need for it and its traitorous thoughts. Your punishment will be a full night in the Forbidden Forest…with Hagrid”.
That’s it? I pressed my lips together before the words escaped my mouth and glanced at Luna and Neville. They both had the same bewildered expressions. Damn, Neville had been in the forest when he was eleven! Harry, Ron and Hermione had gone there numerous times (though they may not be the best example of what is safe and rational).
“That’s it?” Amycus asked the question I wanted to ask.
“Yes, that’s it.”, Snape nodded. “Oh, wait, about you Miss Weasley…”
And there we go. What was he going to do? Chain me? Torture me? Starve me? What?
“You are banned from even going to Hogsmead for the entire term”, he said.
Huh?
“Now get them out of my sight!” Snape nodded and Amycus grabbed me and Luna, Alecto taking Neville. “Hagrid!” I heard Snape say as we were pushed up the stairs. “Make sure our little friends enjoy the Dementors, will you?”
So that was it. Dementors. He was sending us to a forest filled with those…creatures. I shivered as I thought of how I would feel next to them, of what they would make me remember. But still apart from that, I was…confused…yeah that’s the word. What the hell was going on? Lilly Potter’s picture had upset me more than I could express. Why Snape had it? What if that was a way to get to Harry? My blood froze at the thought. Of course, that must be it; there was just no other explanation for it. Somehow, someway he was going to hurt Harry through it. Why else would Snape care for the picture?

Chapter 11 – It gets worst at night
I fell on one of the cushions in the Requirement Room and stared at the ceiling. Today we had to do the punishment Snape gave us and Hagrid took us to the Forbidden Forest. It was awful. Of course we had Hagrid there and he was determined to protect from everything and he seemed to manage it for a while, but then the Dementors came. Not of course because Hagrid took us close to them, as Snape told him, but because those…creatures…can smell despair and sadness from six miles away.
I don’t know if it was just me they craved for or if Neville and Luna have an amount of those feelings in them as well. They probably do; who doesn’t at times like these? I rather doubt however that Neville and Luna are as damaged as I am. Perhaps damaged is a harsh word (hell, if I am damaged then what Harry should say?), perhaps it’s the exact adjective that can describe everything that I felt when their chill reached us among the trees.
And when their cloaked figures appeared all around us, every happy thought I had in me disappeared and everything went cold. And what happened in my first year came alive in my head and I was once again trapped in the Chamber of Secrets, but this time there was no Harry to save me. Because Harry was gone, off to fight Tom Riddle and he wouldn’t return because he would get killed or because he would get captured or maybe because he didn’t even care enough to come back to me; maybe he never really wanted to be with me, maybe he didn’t end it to protect me, maybe he ended it because he didn’t want me to be his girlfriend anymore. And I could see him walking away from me after Dumbledore’s funeral. And then I saw Dumbledore’s body and then Sirius falling through the curtain and then I saw Bill filled with blood after Greyback attacked him and I could see George bleeding from the place his ear should be and…
And then Neville had woken from the nightmare and had called his Patronus. It was like someone turned on the heat, like my black and white surroundings got painted. I had raised my wand too and my Horse Patronus appeared to protect me from all the horrible thoughts those creatures made me think, of all the things I feared, of all the things I didn’t want to remember.
Now back in the Room that had given us so many hopes I felt better. All those things were still there to frighten me and sadden me, but now I had hope. The Dementors hadn’t taken it away and the Death Eaters would never deprive us from it. We all had hope. We hoped to a brighter future, where all humans would be equal and where we wouldn’t be afraid to speak our mind. I hoped that my family would make it through without anymore loses and injuries and that Harry would survive, that he would be with me again and that Hermione would come back to be the usual know it all, who infuriates everybody and who I love very much. I hoped that everything would turn back to how it was supposed to be.

I was cold, but why would I be cold? I was inside the castle…or wasn’t I? I opened my eyes. Darkness. I jumped on my feet and looked around, but I couldn’t make anything out, it was peach black. Just when I felt myself start panicking a light appeared out of nowhere and fell on a figure.
It was a man. I tried to make out who it was, but it was still too dark. He seemed to be unconscious, invisible chains holding him up. I didn’t know if I should approach him or not. Who was he? Friend or foe? And then more light was shed on him and I gasped. It was one of my brothers. I would have recognized the red Weasley hair anywhere. But his head was turned down, his chin touching his chest and I couldn’t see his face and understand who of them was.
I was still looking at him, when slowly blood started dripping off of him, forming a small pond around him. I cried out in shock and started running towards him, I had to help him, I had to save him. But I run and I run and nothing happens, he’s not coming closer, I not approaching him. I stopped trying to catch my breath, my legs hurting from the struggle, but I was still where I was before. I couldn’t reach him.
“Help!” I yelled. “Somebody! Help!”
The echo of my voice came back to me. There was no one else in the darkness, but then a door appeared behind me. Without thinking it I tried to run there, to find out that I could. I opened it, glancing back at the bloodied body of one of my brothers. There had to be someone through that door, someone who could help me.
I found myself in a long and dark hallway. On my left I could see my form reflect on the glass of the windows upon the wall. On my right doors. Lots and lots of doors. Each of them hiding a different path. But those paths I knew were not for me.
I walked further down the hallway. I was determined to reach to its end. To learn where it ended. I felt like I was reading a book I had read many times again; a book, whose end I already knew, because I had already told the story many times. But I wanted to read it again, waiting, hoping that something would be different. I felt like I was close to the end. The end of the book, the end of the hallway, the end of my fears, the end of my hopes…I knew what I had to face what’s coming. I had seen that moment many times. I reached the end and I came face to face with my worst fear.
And I froze completely. Because I couldn’t be here again. I couldn’t. But I was, wasn’t I? I closed my eyes and placed my hands on my head, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t in the Chamber of Secrets.
“It’s a dream, it’s a dream, it’s a dream, it’s a dream, it’s a dream, it’s a dream”, I started saying to myself. “Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!”
“Even if you wake up, you’ll still be trapped miss Weasley”.
I turned. Tom. Of course and I wondered what I couldn’t do without? The way I saw it I had two options. Panic or act crazy. Ginny Weasley does not panic. So I act crazy.
“And I was wondering when you were going to show up”, I said dismissively. “It wouldn’t be a nightmare without you, would it?”
He smirked.
“No, it wouldn’t”, he said. “But am I just a nightmare?”
If I had a mirror I swear I would have seen my face turning white.
“What do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” he laughed. “I am everywhere, Ginny Weasley, I control everything! Your school, the Ministry your father works in, your world. I…I am magic Ginny and you and your friends and your family cannot run away from me”.
“My brother”, I mumbled. “What have you done to him?”
I tried to run pass him and enter the other room where one of my brothers had been but I couldn’t move. My legs seemed unable to obey and anyway even if I managed to move the door I used to come in here was nowhere to be found. I opened my mouth to start swearing at Tom, but no sound came out.
Oh no, my voice! I clenched my throat as I tried to scream as hard as I could, but nothing. I wanted to scream and I couldn’t. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t talk. Soon, though I realized that I could run at the opposite direction than the one my brother was at. And I did. I run farther inside the Chamber looking around, mouthing help with my lips, but with no sound.
Okay, okay. So, this is the Chamber of Secrets. I am in the Chamber of Secrets. So, where’s Harry? Harry has to be here. And suddenly I realized that I didn’t care about being trapped in here, not as long as Harry would come. Not as long as I would get to see him once again.
“He won’t come, Miss Weasley”, Tom called from behind me. I had run away from him, but he was catching on to me with no effort.
Suddenly my voice was back.
“What do you mean he’s not coming?” I asked.
“Potter”, he said. “Isn’t that what you’re looking for?”
“He will come”, I said, my voice steady with conviction. “He will come and he will beat you once again”.
“He can’t beat anyone anymore, Miss Weasley”, Tom said.
“Wha…what do mean?” I mumbled.
His raised his white, thin hand and with one of his long fingers pointed at something behind me. I turned and out of nowhere I could see a big arch that wasn’t there before. And beneath it…
“NO!”
I run there, but stopped a couple of meters away, unable to bring myself to approach him. Harry was lying there, dead. He was flat on his back, his eyes wide open and unmoving. I fell on my knees feeling my insides turning. And I just gazed into his eyes that stared back at me without seeing me.
And I was reminded of Lilly’s eyes in the picture, so alike. And suddenly as my tears begun blinding me, the Chamber disappeared and I was in my mother’s garden among the flowers and in front of me Harry’s corpse disappeared and a woman appeared. I wiped my eyes to see her and I realized that it was her; Lilly. Lilly Potter, looking back at me, with a kind smile on her face and her eyes shining.
“You need to wake up, now, Ginny”, she said with a singing voice that sounded to me rather familiar. “Wake up and don’t worry”.

I woke up with a start to find Luna standing next to me. She had obviously been shaking me to wake up. I sat up and stared at her.
“Are you okay, Ginny?” she asked me. “You must have fallen asleep and you seemed like you were having a nightmare”.
I didn’t know why all of the sudden I felt like that, but a huge lump climbed up my throat. I felt like I had a hot iron burning me from the inside. I tried to suppress it, I did, but I couldn’t. And I just let the tears flow. Yes, that’s correct. Me, Ginny Weasley gave in and started crying.
Luna hugged me, patting my shoulder. I buried my face in her shoulder, still crying my eyes out. Great. Just great. I was losing it. There was no other explanation for me crying my eyes out over a stupid nightmare.
“It’s okay, Ginny”, Luna said still in her singing-like-voice.
I let go of her and shook my head in an attempt to get a hold of my emotions. I swallowed back the next wave of sobs and looked at her apologetically.
“I’m sorry”, I said pitifully.
“Don’t be”, she said. “I can only imagine how this must feel for you. I mean it’s hard to wait around for something you know may never happen, but I guess it’s even harder when you know it’s everything you want”.
I looked back at Luna wide-eyed. She really understands everything, doesn’t she? I gulped and nodded.
“How are you after our little encounter with the Dementors in the Forest?” I asked her. Surprisingly enough Luna too had frozen when they had approached her. She shrugged.
“I heard my mum”, she whispered. “They made me hear her in my head, moments before she casted that spell that caused her death”.
My eyes widened.
“Oh, Lu”, I said and hugged her. “I’m so sorry”.
I felt guiltily stupid now. There I was crying my eyes out, when nothing bad had happened yet. At least nothing unfixable. Luna could never have her mother back. But I still had a chance, a tiny chance of seeing Harry and Ron and Hermione again. And I was going to hold on to that chance. I nodded to Luna and we both got up and started walking towards the exit of the Room.
I wonder, do we all know where we belong? And if we do, deep inside, why don’t we do something about it? There has to be something more in this life. A purpose…a place to belong to. I knew Harry was my home. I knew it for the very first moment. But now he wasn’t here.
Maybe all of our hearts are like refugees. Maybe we are all refugees. But now I understand that we really have nothing to be afraid of. The world we live in…the lives we protect…everything is a part of something bigger than us. When I look at my friends, fighting for a better future, I can see it so clear. I can see the will to live, the hope for a better life. And I know that we have to fight for it. We have to fight, we have to bleed our hands and scratch our legs, but it’s gonna be worth it…

Chapter 12 – Matchmaker part 1
I know it hurts, but it’s life and it’s real. And sometimes it freaking hurts, but it’s life and it’s pretty much all we got.
That line became my motto, during the next weeks. Just get through the day. That’s what I kept telling myself. The Carrows were coming so hard on us after they caught us inside the Headmaster’s office that became impossible for us to organize another meeting with the DA. It seemed like they were everywhere, knowing everything and soon I begun to wonder how many of the students were on their side and how many on ours.
During those weeks I experienced for the very first time the Cruciatus Curse. Amycus casted it on me. I got a bit mouthy, well a lot mouthy, in one of his classes and it seemed like he couldn’t take it anymore. My punishment was obvious. Truth be told, it was over before it begun, but those excruciating moments that I was under the curse were enough to give a very good idea of why this curse was an Unforgivable one.
Neville of course was furious. Both with Amycus and with me for not being careful enough. That bloody hypocrite. Like he didn’t provoke Amycus and Alecto at every single class they had. He already had the Cruciatus casted upon him more than five times and he was lecturing me about being careful!
I had the notion that Neville was becoming more and more like a brother to me and I really didn’t know how to feel about it. I mean I already have more brothers that I can count on one hand, but then again none of them was here with me. I just hated the idea of Neville getting overprotective with me, when it was quite obvious that I didn’t need anyone’s assistance and protection; no, Ginevra Weasley knows how to take care of herself by herself, thank you very much.
Anyway, in the mist of it all, I had given myself two missions. First, I wanted to figure out why Snape had Lilly Potter’s picture inside his desk and what he planned to do with it; unfortunately, there was nothing I could do to figure that out and breaking inside the Headmaster’s office again was out of the question. So, I moved on to the second mission I had assigned to myself. To get Luna and Neville together.
I was completely sure that they belonged with each other. The two outcasts that could complete each other so perfectly and make such a strong combination; that is if they figure out that they must be together. Why is it that it takes people so long to figure who they want? It didn’t take me long. Then again it took Harry six years and a bloody Chinese chick to figure out that he wants to be with me and it took Ron and Hermione…hell, Ron and Hermione are still working on it. But, since they are not here, I think I will try and get Luna and Neville together instead. Just my luck; I have to play matchmaker, like everything else isn’t enough. Oh well, at least I hope that if they do get back together Neville will stop being so protective of me.
So, I started making comments in the lines of: ‘Hey, Neville isn’t Luna looking great today?’ or ‘Hey, Lu isn’t Neville being amazingly brave, the way he stands up to the Carrows?’ or ‘Oh, I guess things would be better if we had a couple around to remind us the importance of love’. And that sort of things. Also, often I would let them go to dinner by their own, claiming I’m not hungry or I would invite them to sit beneath the beech tree and then remember an essay I had to write and run off to the library. I really thought that it was starting to work, because soon they started talking to each privately without me arranging it. The thing was though that they had probably figured out that I was trying to get them together, because they were both looking at me strangely.
After a few days, Neville came to talk to me. I had expected that one of them would come, but I always thought it would have been Luna, because of how intuitive she was. I was sitting by my own in our common room, supposedly reading for tomorrow’s potions class and subconsciously trying to rub away the pain from a Carrows reduced bruise on my ribs. My eyes were starring at the pages of the book, but I didn’t really see it, since my mind was miles away.
How much longer? This couldn’t go on forever. Hogwarts couldn’t be like this. Shouldn’t be like this. The world shouldn’t be like this. And my mind drifted back to Harry and Ron and Hermione and I wondered for like a millionth time this afternoon, where they might be and if they were okay. I sighed and looked out of the window. Christmas was arriving soon. The prospect of leaving this castle back, even if it was for a week and return home to my family was more inviting than ever. Probably because Hogwarts was worse than ever.
I was too immersed in my thoughts and when Neville sat next to me, I almost jumped two meters in the air.
“Oh, sorry, Gin, did I startle you?” he asked sheepishly.
“Well, yeah!” I said irritated, sitting properly on my chair again. “Don’t you ever come sneaking behind me again Neville Longbottom!” I warned him and he chuckled.
“I wouldn’t want to end up with furious Bat Bogeys all over me now, would I?”
“Who would?” I smirked turning back to my book.
“Ginny, I want to talk to you about something”, Neville sighed and I immediately threw my book aside and looked at him. His cheeks were turning red.
“What? Something with the Carrows?” I asked anxiously.
“No, not about them”, he said. “Though we have to figure out a way to organize another DA meeting before the holidays”.
“Good luck with that”, I said sarcastically.
“Anyway, that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about”, he said. My eyes flashed.
“No? Then what about?” I asked innocently, but unable to hide the smug smile in my mind.
“Well…” Neville started looking rather nervous now. “You see…I never really had a girl…and now…well…”
“There’s someone you like?” I asked smiling.
“Yeah”, Neville nodded looking straight into my eyes. “I don’t know what to do though…I can’t…it’s not right…I’m not right for her”.
“Neville Longbottom, did I hear you correctly?” I yelled. “You listen to me, any girl would be lucky to have someone like you!”
“You really think so?”
“Yeah, I do!” I said forcefully. Neville and his stupid insecurities. I was one hundredth percent certain that he could make Luna a very happy person.
“Well, what do you think I should do?” he asked me. I retained myself form rolling my eyes.
“Well, tell her, duh!” I said.
“Right, I thought I should as well”, he nodded and I smiled. Great. He would tell Luna that he likes her and I will be able to scratch one of my missions out. And then finally someone that ought to be together would be together. “Ginny…” he started interrupting my ray of thoughts.
“What?”
“I think I’m in love with you”.

Chapter 13 – Matchmaker part 2
I swear I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I mumbled something pathetic for an essay I had to write and before Neville even had time to say a word, I climbed through Fat Lady and run away from the Gryffindor tower.
Neville…in love with me? Me? Of all people? This is just great. What the hell was I supposed to do now? I mean, Neville is a great guy and all, but he was always my good friend, nothing more. I didn’t want him to be more. Harry was more, not Neville. But how do I tell him that I’m not interested without getting his heart broken and his pride wounded? This is bad; this is really, really bad. Damn this teenage drama! Ugh…like the war wasn’t enough!
I was walking fast through a corridor, fuming for my luck, not really seeing where I was going and soon enough I bumped into someone.
“Ginny, you really need to get rid of those Wrackspurts”, Luna said rubbing her head as she stood up from the floor.
“Oh, Lu, I’m so sorry”, I said helping her up. “Where are you going?”
“I was coming to find you actually”, Luna said.
“Why? Is something wrong? The Carrows?”
“No, no, calm down”, she replied hastily. “It’s just…well, I want to talk to you about…something…” her voice trailed off as she sat at the edge of a window and looked back at me.
“Well, can’t it wait?” I asked her. “I just…I have some things to sort out right now, Luna”.
“Oh”, she said. “Yeah sure, I guess it can wait”.
But as she nodded and then stared out of the window exhaling deeply, I felt a wave of remorse engulfing me. Luna was my good friend and always there to talk about my problems and now that she had one, I was busy with mine. I sighed.
“Okay, what’s going on?” I asked walking towards her. She didn’t look up; she just stared down at her hands.
“Well, I know I’ve never had a friend to talk about those things and now I really want to talk about it and sometimes it feels like you’re my friend”.
“I am your friend, Luna”, I said shaking my head; she had to know she was one of my best girlfriends, second only to Hermione.
“Well, yeah, but I’m not sure you’re gonna want to be my friends after I tell you”, she sighed.
“Tell me what?” I asked curiously.
“Well…it’s about a boy”, she said blushing.
My stomach turned. Oh God, what have I done? Sure, Luna wanted to talk to me about Neville, because I went and made her interested in him and now Neville was in love with me and Luna would be crashed. Great. Just splendid.
“Oh, Lu…” I started saying shaking my head.
“I know he likes you”, she said.
I had a double take at that.
“You…you know?”
How could she know? Unless, Neville actually told her! Oh, what a stupid git, he wouldn’t even realized that Luna was head over heels for him!
“Well…yeah, it’s kind of obvious”, Luna replied.
Obvious? How the hell is it bloody obvious exactly? I didn’t see it coming…
“Please don’t get mad at me”, Luna said still looking at her hands. I frowned; why would I be mad at her? If anything she should be mad at me. “I know how you feel for him”.
“What do you mean?” I asked still utterly confused. “He’s like a brother to me”.
“Huh? Who are you talking about?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Harry”.
Wait…what?
“Who?” I mumbled too dumbstruck to say anything else or process it. I must have heard wrong, there’s no other explanation.
“Ginny, I think I’m in love with Harry”, Luna said still looking down at her hands. My jaw dropped.
“You…you’re…with…HARRY! Harry Potter? MY Harry Potter?” I said screaming my head off, not caring for the fact that we were standing in a hallway of Hogwarts, where even the walls had ears on them.
“Ginny, don’t talk so loud”, Luna said looking up and down the corridor to see if anyone was around.
“I will talk as I want!” I snapped. “How…I mean…why did you tell me now?”
“Well…” Luna shrugged and a small smile appeared on her lips.
I suddenly had the crazy desire to slap her. I was never the jealous type and the possessive one, but this was Luna, my friend, and she stood there telling me that she liked the boy I loved and was laughing about it too. Then, I realized that Luna wasn’t smiling at me but at someone standing behind me. I turned and my heart dropped; Neville was walking towards us, with a smile similar to Luna’s upon his lips. This was getting to difficult to handle. And irritating. And stupid. And idiotic.
“Hey, girls”, Neville smiled in a too casual for him way. “What’s up?”
“Oh, I was just telling Ginny here that I think I’m in love with Harry”, Luna smiled.
“Really?” Neville said thrilled, like those were the best news he could hear. “That’s great. Now you can be frenzied with worry waiting for Harry and Ginny can be with me”, he shrugged.
“Wha…what?” I mumbled looking from the one to the other. “Are you…are…ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY?” I yelled.
“Ginny, calm down, you’re gonna attract Death Eaters, not to mention Nargles”, Luna said seriously.
I started mumbling stuff under my breath, trying to make sense of it all. I couldn’t. This was just too crazy and irritating and the fact that both of my friends were laughing with it and found it so amusing was only making this whole problem…it was making it…it was…not true. I must have taken me about three whole minutes of mumbling, but I finally realized that I was been played. It was kind of obvious, since both Neville and Luna were trying unsuccessfully to hold back their laughter. Ugh…oh man!
“This is a joke?” I said my voice rising. “You are playing with me?”
“Yeah” both of them burst out and then they started laughing, while I was fuming.
“I’m sorry, Ginny”, Neville said when their laughter subsided. “It’s just that you were being so pushy”.
“Me? I was not!”
“So, you weren’t trying for the entire week to get me and Neville to suddenly realize that we should fall in love?” Luna asked folding her arms.
Oops. Basted.
“I…no…um…”
“You did”, Neville sighed. “But Ginny not everybody falls in love with everybody”.
I stared blankly at Neville, trying to understand. So all this was a lesson for me?
“Ginny, I know you only care for us, but Neville is right”, Luna nodded. “Like it was rather impossible for Neville to fall for you, since you’re like he’s sister and like I couldn’t fall for Harry because he’s my friend and your everlasting crush I might add, in the same way Neville and I cannot fall in love because we just don’t feel like that for each other; we’re friends”.
“Right”, I nodded as I bit on my lips. “You right; I’m sorry”.
“So, we agree that we are all just friends?” Neville asked and the girls nodded.
“Friends that ought to give hell to those Death Eaters”, Luna said and then we all laughed.

I must admit I had it coming. Sure, I was still playing the offended to Neville and Luna, but I knew now that they were right. I was so determined to have a loving couple around to encourage me that I forgot to ask them how they felt for each other. Oh, well, what to do? At least now we had everything straighten out. And at least Neville wasn’t in love with me and Luna only thought of Harry as a dear friend. Phew.
At the same time as our little ridiculous teenage drama however there were other things more important to deal with. We had fallen behind with our DA meetings and hadn’t organized anything important for a couple of weeks now. Even though Neville said that this wasn’t necessarily so bad, since we were likely to give them the impression that we’ve given up and then take them by surprise, I was feeling kind of itchy. It just didn’t seem fair that we got to sit on our bottoms doing nothing when Harry, my brother and Hermione were God knowing where, facing how knows what difficulties and dangers.
In a couple of days our first trip to Hogsmead came however and brought with it the action I wanted. Be careful what you wish for, I guess.
