Here's chapter 3.
Ginny and her friend Luna were sitting in her room on the bed.
"And this Hermione says that this place is real?" Luna asked her.
"Why can't it be. Who tells us it isn't?" Ginny asked.
"Well, it certainly is possible," Luna said slowly.
"Exactly," Ginny said,
"And you want to go with her?"
"Well, not just me. You, too. And Ron and Harry, and whoever else we ask."
"I see. But, I don't know if I can leave my father all alone."
"I know, but you'd probably have to leave him sooner or later, most likely having been drafted, and so at least this way it'll be on better terms."
"I suppose… But, you said 'whoever else we ask.'"
"Well, yeah. I suppose we could ask someone else. Like maybe…"
"Neville?" Luna's voice was incredibly eager. Ginny smiled.
"Sure, we can ask Neville," Ginny said.
"Okay," Luna said.
"Look, I'm going to let you ask Neville, and ask him soon, because we leave tonight. I have to talk to Ron."
"Okay." Luna rose from her bed. "See you at nine."
"Cya."
Luna walked out the door leaving Ginny alone on the bed. Ginny looked at the clock. Three. Three in the afternoon. A couple more hours and she'd be gone. She sat for a few more moments, then got up and walked to Ron's room. She almost walked in when she remembered his irritation at her coming into his room last night. She knocked.
"Come in," Ron called from inside. Ginny opened the door and walked in.
"Well, did you ask Harry?" Ginny asked.
"Course I did. I asked him last night. I was gonna tell you about it, but when I came back you were already asleep. Then this morning you were off hunting for Loony."
"LUNA!"
"Yeah, yeah, sure. Luna. Anyway, it took some convincing, but Harry's on board."
"That's fantastic!"
"I take it Luna's coming too?"
"Yeah. And she's going to ask Neville."
"Neville Longbottom? I don't see him wanting that desperately to come along."
"We'll see, I suppose."
Ginny sat down in a chair and sighed.
"You nervous," Ron asked, reading her emotions.
"A little. I mean, this is a big risk we're taking," Ginny said.
"You were the one that wanted to go," Ron pointed out.
"I know, and I'm not backing out, I'm just worried."
"Yeah, me too."
Ginny nodded, then stood and left the room. She went back to her own and sat on the bed and thought. She wondered if she was doing the right thing in leaving. She shook her head then. She was going to do this. She would get out. Someone had to. Someone had to prove there was something else out there.
That chapter was pretty short, but the next one's probably going to be a lot longer, because they're finally going to be leaving!
