The members of the DA, sat around in the room of requirement, today was more of a meeting than a practical class. They were discussing their need for new members. In Ginny's mind they had everyone they needed. This may not make sense to anyone but her, and she even knew that it was influenced by her emotions.
She was happy the way things were she had all the people she needed there. Harry, the boy she loved with all her heart, Hermione who was like her big sister, her best friend Luna and the others. They were all she needed, right?
She knew deep down she was wrong, the needed more members if they had a chance of winning the coming war against dark magic. There was still a part of her that wanted it to be just the current group, it gave her a chance to spend a lot of time with Harry, and the gang got on so well together, a new arrival could really mess with the group.
She had heard rumours of Cho Chang joining, they never spoke, but Cho had made it quite clear that she hated Ginny, but not why she did. Ginny knew it was something to do with how close she was with Harry, and Cho liked to think that Harry was hers, even though they had never dated.
"So if any of you know of anyone who would be interested in joining and learning
some spells that might keep us all a little bit safer, tell them about our meetings, but
remember to be careful who you tell", and with that Harry ended the meeting. There
was some shuffling of chairs and he group got up to leave.
Luna and Ginny were standing by the wall at the far corner of the room. "What if Cho joins, we'll loose the closeness we have with Harry, and the whole group good just fall apart!". "Ginny will you please get a grip for a minute please, you always think the worst is going to happen….." "That's because it usually does for me Luna, my plans never work, and and ….", Ginny was getting flustered and was starting to not make sense.
"Relax, breathe hun, maybe that's just a sign we should stop planning things and just go with the flow, what do you think?", Luna though slightly younger than Ginny, was great in a crisis, and at calming Ginny when she needed her. Ginny did as her friend told her and paused for a moment to get her head straight.
"Ginny what's wrong?", Harry had seen the commotion and wandered over to the girls. "Oh nothing, you know me I get very emotional over nothing", Ginny tried to compose herself quickly, she couldn't really tell him what the matter was, she trusted him, but she couldn't tell him this. It would ruin their friendship…. Again.
"If it makes you cry it must be something, are you sure you are alright?", Harry was not one to be inquisitive about things, but he cared. Luna stood there between the two, unsure whether to intervene, but she thought her friend had it covered. Sometimes her interventions led to extremely awkward conversations, so this time she decided to keep quite.
"I really fine thanks Harry", as she said that he pulled her into a comforting hug. "Aww you two!", Luna regretted that the moment she said it. "You two what?" the girls jokes and conversations sometimes went over Harry's head. "Never mind", Luna said receiving a "I'm going to kill you for that later" look from Ginny over Harry's shoulder
