The Other Trio
After Harry, Ron and Hermione don't come back, it's up to Ginny, Neville and Luna to save the school. They become the three that everyone looks up to, comes to for comfort, asks for help and admires. Many call the three best friends 'The Other Golden Trio', noting how together they have strength very similar to Harry, Ron and Hermione's. Others notice how that, though they have a bond and strength as strong as The Golden Trio's, Neville, Luna and Ginny are different somehow. Then they become known as 'The Other Trio'.
Ginny and Luna always stuck close to each other; they met together on the train to Hogwarts their first year and stayed with each other throughout the Sorting. Luna kept a comforting hand on Ginny's shoulder when Ginny saw that neither Ron nor Harry were there to see her Sorted. Ginny confided in Luna almost as much as she did in Tom, and it was Luna that helped Ginny after her traumatic first year; Luna wrote frequently to Ginny and they even met ach other a few times in St. Ottery Catchpole. In their second year, Luna sees the Thestrals and the Dementors make her recall her mother's death. She tells Ginny everything, and this brings them closer together still. Third year, Ginny discovers Neville. She sees him as a sweet, awkward fellow with hidden talent and undeniable loyalty. Luna senses that Neville will take the spotlight soon, and encourages him along as best as she can.
When the D.A. is started, Luna and Ginny begin to hang out with Neville even more. They learn more about each other, and Luna feels quite confident about her prediction for Neville. They really become best friends at the Ministry of Magic, where they fight for each other's lives.
In sixth year, Ginny, Luna and Neville are hardly seen without each other. If Ginny, Neville and Luna aren't all together, then Luna and Ginny are eating lunch together, Ginny and Neville are sitting together in the Gryffindor Common Room or Luna is helping Neville with homework. They keep their D.A. coins in their pockets and each hope that one day the D.A. will get back together. Though none of them say so, they each know that coins aren't just 'lucky charms' or 'memorabilia'. The coins are tokens of their friendship and symbolize what they can do and what they have done.
Seventh year is when Neville, Ginny and Luna truly shine as three best friends—they all take up the positions as co-leaders for the newly-revived D.A., and serve as role models to the students of Hogwarts that are pro-Harry and anti-Voldemort. They stick together from the beginning, no matter how many things the Carrows and Snape throw at them. They help each other during raids, and free them from the Dungeons when they're to be punished.
After the Battle of Hogwarts, the Other Trio doesn't spend a lot of time with each other, because Neville is off helping Kingsley Shacklebolt with the New Ministry while Luna and Ginny are back at school for their seventh year of magical education, but the three are closer than ever.
Author's Note: Oh, dear, I nearly forgot to post this tonight!
So, yeah, here's Ginny, Neville and Luna! This is the last Trio that I had written when I originally posted Herry, Ron and Hermione, so now I'll be writing more requests.
