CHAPTER 2!
Luna Lovegood walked shakily up to the compartment she knew was occupied by Harry, Ron and Hermione. She couldn't quite believe what she had just seen.
"Ron," she said, knocking on the door. "Can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Luna! How were the Crumple Horned Snorkacks?" Tona asked, suppressing a giggle.
"Excellent. I found evidence as to their existence. Now?" She pointed outside the door. The was wiped off Ron and Harry's faces
"Anything you wanna say to Ron, you can say in front of us too!" Harry said defensively.
"After what you did to Ginny this Summer, you'll be lucky if I speak to you at all!" Luna replied. "Ron out!"
"Ron walked out looking mystified. Harrus fists were clenched. He looked menacingly after Luna.
"GOD! A guy can't do anything anymore! I dated a girl, then broke up with he! What's the big?"
"Harry let's be honest," Hermione said, her eyes still on the book in front of her. "You did more than that. You destroyed her, and now look what's happened. Lord know what Ginny will do next!"
"Their conversation was interrupted bu the poinding of Ron's fists against the wall.
"YOU SAW HER DOING WHAT? WITH WHO?"
They heard Luna's calm boice answering, then –
"I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!"
"RON!" Hermione ran out the door and grabbed Ron's arms before he could run, but he was struggling hard and was almost loose.
"Harry, help me!" she shrieked.
Harry ran out and surveyed the scene with humours. He stood there laughing until Hermione threw him her 'Professor McGonagall' lok and he pulled out his wand.
"Sorry mate. Petrificus Totalus!" he yelled, just as Hermione's arms gave out and she let go.
"Luna, what's you sat?" Hermione asked, panting loudly..
"I simply told him what I saw." She replied.
"Which was?"
"Er – Ginny making out with Malfoy."
"WHAT!" Harry exclaimed. He started to run, but Hermione whipped out her wand and put him in the full body bind before you could say 'bloody hell!'
"Luna, help me with these two, would you?" Hermisone asked, indicating the boys.
With much effort and moans of 'Gawd you two need to lose some pounds!', the boys were magically bound to the couches in the compartment. Hermione lifted the Body Bind and they jerked around violently in their seats, before they realized they couldn't escape, in which case, they settled down.
"Guys, you can't just go charging after Malfoy, you'd have no chance. Especially since you both helped put his father in Azkaban Harry, so he'd be doubly annoyed at you.
"But Er-my-knee, he screwed my little sister!" Ron exclaimed.
"Actually, I said I saw them making out., I didn't say they had sex." Luna pointed out.
"Yeah, but still," Harry began, but just then, Ginny strolled in, adjusting her skirt where it had been hitched up.
"H all. What happened here?" she asked, laughed at Harry and Ron who had started jerking and swearing violently again, trying to free themselves form the ropes that bound them.
"Oh shut up you two, honestly." Hermione exclaimed. "Silencio!"
"Hey Luna," Ginny said happily, hugging her friend. "How was your summer?"
"Er, awesome." Luna replied. She didn't quite know how to react to Ginny after what she had seen. "Um, I'm gunna go see Neville. Bye!" she waved and hurried away.
"Gee, thanks Luna," Hermione muttered.
"So what's up with these two?" Ginny asked, still laughing.
"Well, we just had an interesting talk with Luna," Hermione said slowly.
"Oh yeah, what about?"
"Well, she said she saw you and Malfoy, making out in a compartment."
"Mhmm, and?" she asked, nonchalantly.
"Well, these two are a bit pissed."
"Right, well boys, even though it's none of your business who I fall in love with, let alone who I choose to screw, I'll tell you a secret; people are going to be coming to you with a lot of stories this year, because I haven't even begun. So learn to get over it," she walked over to Harry and sat on his lap, one leg on either side, making her skirt rise, revealing her underwear.
"Do you remember what you said to me?" she asked, "'You're too boring Ginny, you don't know how to have fun.' Well guess what, just ask Malfoy, I'm lots of fun now," she looked down and laughed. "Down boy." She whispered. She stood up and walked out, almost bumping into Dean.
"Ginny?" he asked incredulously.
"Hello Deano. Have you seen Malfoy?" she asked, laughing at the look on all 3 boys faces. "Don't worry then, I'll find him myself," and she strolled away. Harry and Ron started to try and get out again. Dean stared after incredulously. Harry looked down, truned red and mouthed "shit!" Ron and Hermione looked at him and laughed. Ron shaking with silent laughter, as he was still bound by the silencing charm.
"I just can't believe she's do this!" Ron exclaimed. Hermione had lifted the Silencing Charm 5 minutes ago and he had not been able to shut up about Ginny's change, and the fact that he had missed it all summer.
"Well, Harry did send her over the edge." Hermione replied, looking apologetically at him.
"Tahnks. What'd I do?" Harry exploded.
"Think Harry, the girl had been in love with you since the day she met you. She was over the moon when you asked her out. I mean, the smile on her face never disappeared. She was so happy when you, well, you know, consummated your relationship, you might say. She thought you loved her, she thought you would take care of her. Then, surprisingly to all of us, you turned around and laughed at her. Thanked her for a good time, and then told her to leave. Acted liket he gift she had given you was nothing! Well to a female Harry, it is a big deal!"
"She had to know I was using her! I'd just lost my Godfather, I needed someone to lean on, she was there!"
"Oh Harry, listen to yourself! Sirius was her best friend, the only person she could trust. She had no one else! He used to listen to her problems, talk to her. She lost someone important too!"
"They were NOT friends!" Harry screamed.
"All right Harry, you believe what you want. You be as fucking blind as you want, while the rest of us think about the poor girl you just lost her friend. We alone will remember all the times we saw her with Sirius, and we alone will worry about what you've done to her and what she might do to get back at you." Hermione said exasperatedly.
"Sounds bloody good to me!" Harry said, and stalked off to stand between Seamus and Neville..
"God he's hopeless! What're we going to do Ron?"
"I dunno, we have to just let her go. I can't believe I'm saying this. Let her get it out of her system."
"So, you're just going to let her keep screwing randoms until she's over Harry?"
"Well, they're not randoms, we know who they are, we just don't like them is all."
"So, you can deal with people coming to you saying they've seen Ginny screwing Malfoy can you?" Hermione asked laughing.
"No, but I've got you to restrain me, haven't I?" Ron replied, shrugging.
"What if – well -what if she doesn't deal with it? What if she's like this forever?"
"She'll get over it!" Ron exploded. "Forever is too long a time to hate my sister."
"You hate her?" Hermione asked, amazed.
"I hate what she's become, what she's doing. Now can we drop this please?"
"Yeah sure. Come on, let's sit down." Hermione gestured at the seats. Neither of them had even been aware of entering Hogwarts, let alone finding their way into the Great Hall.
"Harry's never going to realize what he did to her, is he?" Ron asked.
"I thought you didn't want to talk about it!" Hermione said, throwing her hands exasperatedly into the air.
"Shut up! But seriously, he won't will he?"
"Maybe one day." She replied.
Dumbledore stood up and they clapped along with the rest. Ginny could see Malfoy staring at her from the Slytherin table. She laughed and kissed Seamus who was next to her. He went bright red and looked everywhere but at Ron, who was fuming.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another year at Hogwarts! Let the sorting begin!"
The sorting seemed to go forever. There were fifteen new Gryffindors this year, and they all looked a nervy, jumpy bunch.
"You know, the Sorting Hat keeps branching out with it's little cryptic warnings and shit doesn't it?" Ron asked. "It's rather annoying. None of the rivaling houses will never be friends."
"It may happen!" Hermione replied.
"As if Hermy." Harry said, sliding over to sit next to her.
"Oh, are you going to stop being a prat now?" Ron asked.
"Yes. But I can't be the only thing that sparked Ginny's 'sudden change'. Agreed?" Harry asked. Ron and Hermione nodded. Although they nodded, they knew otherwise. But they knew better to spark Harry's anger. He had taken to yelling and screaming whenever he got angry.
Much to the chagrin of Nearly Headless Nick, they talked throughout most of Dumbledore's speech, until he got to the bit about new teachers, and all three of their ears sparked up at once, and their eyes lit as they saw a familiar face at the table.
"This year, we only have one new teacher. Someone who you have all met before, and who will be returning to the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. You obviously all know who I am talking about, as your eyes do not betray you. Professor R.J. Lupin!"
Harry, Ron and Hermione screamed, and could still be heard over the tumultuous applause that flooded the room. Only those at the Slytherin table did not applaud.
Remus waved at the three of them and when the feast finished, they ran to the Staff table. But someone had already beaten them
"I can't believe you're back!" Ginny shrieked, hugging him tight.
"I know! Well, Sirius's last request was that I look after Harry, Ron, Hermione and yourself. Especially Harry and you. I told him I would do so under any circumstances, so here I am!" he replied, hugging her back.
"Well, I should go. I wanna talk to Ernie about something before bed. Goodnight Remskie!" she exclaimed, laughing.
"Goodnight Ginny. Oh and Ginny?"
"Yes?" she asked, turning back.
"You look awesome."
"Thanks." She skipped away to Ernie and Justin Finch – Fletchley.
"Hi you three." Remus said, smiling at them.
"I can't believe you're back!" Harry exclaimed, still a little shocked at Ginny and the previous conversation between her and Remus.
"How long for?" Hermione asked.
"For good, hopefully." Remus replied.
"That's mad!" Ron replied. "We've got to go. Bye Moony Moon!"
"Ron!" Remus exclaimed, laughing.
"Sorry, Goodbye Professor Remskie!" Harry exclaimed.
"Goodnight you three." Remus replied, laughing still.
