A/N This story follows the original story line except for that fact that Luna was never at the Malfoy Manor and that it doesn't follow the epilogue. Also, some characters aren't heterosexual as they are in the books and movies, the main character is lesbian and the story follows a lesbian couple thru the war and what Hogwarts was like pre-war.

Ginny's POV
It feels weird getting on the Hogwarts Express without Harry, Ron, or Hermione. Mum and Dad didn't even want me to go to school, but I convinced them. I wave goodbye to Mum and Dad and go to find Luna and Neville. They end up being near the end of the train. I enter the compartment.
"Hey, guys," I say.
"Ginny! You convinced your parents to let you come!" Luna says.
"Yup. It took some work, but they finally let me go. They let me go after I played the But-Ron-is-who-knows-where-doing-who-knows-what card. I just have to write daily." I say.
"Sounds fair, but didn't you feel a little guilty playing that card?" Neville asks as I sit on the seat across from him who is beside Luna.
"No. Ron gets to run all over England, maybe even Europe looking for Horcruxes and constantly being chased by You Know Who's people, so when you think about it, how bad can Hogwarts be?" I ask with a chuckle.
Hogwarts is BAD. Really bad. So bad I almost wish I hadn't come, but if I hadn't I probably would have been dragged from my home anyway. With Snape in charge, death eaters are practically running the place. Any teacher who didn't show up has been replaced by a death eater. The rules have become stricter, in some ways in others, they are loosened. There is no bad behavior of any kind, bad behavior has been redefined. You must have a professors permission to do loads of things. However, rules on dorms and sitting with your assigned houses are way less strict, when that was said Luna snuck quietly over to the Hogwarts table. Also doing magic outside of class or teachers instruct is apparently acceptable now.
"The forbidden forest is still forbidden. You will respect your new teachers and the old ones, and, there will not be any quidditch this year. With that, you may eat." Snape says in his mean, cold voice. We start eating.
"I knew it would be different this year, but I didn't realize it would be that different," I say.
"None of us knew exactly how bad it would be, some of us were simply more optimistic whereas other were being more, realistic," Neville says.
The next few days everyone is constantly getting in trouble due to not remembering all the new ridiculous rules. Also, many classes have become like training to join Tom's side. Defense Against the Dark Arts has become Defense Using the Dark Arts, or as they simply call it, Dark Arts. Classes with returning teachers are semi-normal, but there are so few of them, I thought teachers were here to support us, and be there for us, but apparently not if there is any real danger they aren't. Me and Luna, have been sleeping in her dorm. Neville, Luna and I have realized something needs to be done. One day well rummaging through my trunk I find my Dumbledore's Army coin. I ask Luna if she still has hers, she has to do some looking but does find it, Neville still had his in his trunk. So we call the members so see if anyone else still has theirs. Everyone who didn't turn on us, in the end, shows up at the Room of Requirement like instructed.
"Now, I know most of you thought Dumbledore's Army was a thing of the past, but as many of you also know, this place has fallen to shit. This place used to be our home, and now it is our torture chamber. Punishments are harsh and rules are strict, and things aren't gonna get any better. Our teachers are on You Know Who's side, and we need to be able to fight back. But we need to know how to do it the right way. I am hereby restarting Dumbledore's Army and I hope you guys will join me." I say standing up from my seat. Right now the Room of Requirement looks like what I'd imagine the teacher's lounge would look like.
"I will join you," Luna says, standing up too.
"I will join," Neville says.
"I'll join." Seamus Finnigan says. Everyone follows.
"Ok, now that we are all on broad, you all must realize, this won't be like last time. Last time it was for the purposes of learning, however, this time it is for the purposes of not allowing our new 'teachers' to have total reign of the school and us. We will actually be fighting, REAL fighting up against said 'teachers'. You all must be willing to fight." They all nod in understanding, all willing to fight for our cause.
We go over ground rules, and changes, and encourage people to bring others who are willing to fight. Luna, Neville, and I stay until everyone else leaves, giving us only minutes to get back to our dorms for the night. Luna and I go as fast as we can without getting in trouble for running in the halls, we almost make it to the Ravenclaw common room, which is where we are both sleeping. But just as we are making it down our final flight of stairs, a teacher shows up. We slow down and quiet up trying to not be caught as it is 2 minutes past curfew.
"You two! Stop right there!" It is our Dark Arts teacher Amycus Carrow. We freeze knowing that if we don't we will be in even more trouble. She walks over to us. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" She asks in a taunting tone.
"We were in the library, doing homework, we lost track of time. We're very sorry." I say.
"That's a lie!" She screeches. "I don't know where you were, but it was most definitely not the library." She says and grabs us by the collars of our shirts. She drags us to her classroom. "Now. How should I punish you?" She asks, flipping through a book. She suddenly stops.
"Normally a late curfew warrants a detention." Luna offers meekly.
"That was last year. This is this year. You will be punished in any way, I see fit. Unless you would prefer my punishment and a detention?"
"Nevermind," Luna says terrified. I look over at her, we are in trouble now. We both know it.
"Good. Now, onto your punishment." She turns around. "Immobulus! Immobulus!" She says charming us into stay still against your own will. "Now for the fun part." She starts muttering things under her breath and suddenly it is like we are being whipped with a willow switch. "8 times each. Two because you were two minutes past curfew and the other six is because you are in year six." She says as we are continuously whipped. She laughs and cackles the whole time. I simply stand still and take it, I focus on my shoes and soon it is over. It doesn't sound like Luna thought to do the same. When we are done being whipped, she hands us notes and sends us back to our dorm. The notes say we were with her, but we can still be punished. We move as quickly as we can back to our dorm. I think Luna was whipped harder. She is already bleeding through her clothes. We thankfully get back to our dorm without being seen. When we are in our room I use my wand to cut Luna's shirt off of her because her shoulder was whipped pretty hard and I couldn't watch her struggle to get them off. I grab a muggle pen out of my bag and turn it into a bowl I then go fill it with water from the bathroom and grab a washcloth.
"Ginny, I'm fine. Really." She says.
"Then why did I have to cut you out of your clothes?" I ask.
"I could've done it myself." She says.
"Sit on the bed," I say. She does so but doesn't seem happy about it. I submerge the washcloth and then ring it out. I carefully clean Luna's wounds, which are mostly on her back and shoulder. When I'm done cleaning her wounds I dress them. I wrap up her shoulder as well. She has a limited range of motion but should be fine to do all her school activities. I go dump the water in the bathroom sink and put the bloody washcloth in the rubbish bin. When I get back I catch a glimpse of Luna changing. I see her small but beautiful breasts, only for a second, but I saw them. I go to bed that night thinking about Luna's breasts and eventually I imagine myself kissing her well squeezing them, followed by me sucking on her nipples, then the two of us having sex. I'm turned on at the thought. I fall asleep that night still thinking of those pretty, perky, breasts in a way I'd never thought of them before.
