CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
(chapter title – Building the Barricade/Ginny's Errand)
In the ABC Café, the revolutionaries and Weasley were having a meeting. Across one of the tables was a large map that showed the entire city.
"Here upon these stones
We will build our barricade!" Weasley pointed to a spot on the map. It was a spot of land outside an abandoned café. "In the heart of the city we claim as our own! Each man to his duty and don't be afraid! Wait! I will need a report on the strength of the foe!"
Severus raised his hand. He was dressed as a rebel.
"I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days of my youth!" Severus told Weasley. He nodded and sent him on his way.
"Now the people will fight!" Neville spoke up.
"And so they might! Dogs will bark! Fleas will bite!" Seamus said, taking a drink from his bottle.
"They will do what is right!" Hugo told the students.
Harry was heading home from a long meeting with the students when he saw a young boy walking in the dark.
"Hey, little boy, what's this I see?" Harry asked, removing the boy's cap. A head full of red hair tumbled out of the hat. Harry would recognize it anywhere. "Merlin, Ginerva, the things you do!"
"I know this is no place for me, still I'd rather be with you!" Ginny told Harry, putting her hair back in her hat.
"Get out before the trouble starts! Get out, Ginny, you might get shot!" Harry warned.
"I've got you worried now I have! That shows you like me quite a lot!" Ginny told her dearest friend, batting her long eyelashes at him.
"There is a way that you can help! You are the answer to a prayer!" Harry told Ginny, handing her a letter from a pocket deep inside his jacket. "Please take this letter to Luna and pray to Merlin that she's still there!"
"Little you know, little you care!" Ginny told Harry, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She walked to the Rue Plummet, where she met Sirius.
"I have a letter, good sir, it's addressed to your daughter Luna
It's from a boy at the barricade, sir, in the Rue de Caruna." Ginny told Sirius, making sure to speak in a low voice.
"Give me that letter here, my boy." Sirius told Ginny, but she drew her hand back.
"He said to give it to Luna." Ginny told Sirius.
"You have my word that my daughter will know
What this letter contains." Sirius said, handing Ginny a Galleon. "Tell the young man she will read it tomorrow and here's for your pains. Go careful now, stay out of sight. There's danger in the streets tonight!"
Ginny tipped her hat and went on her way. When Ginny was gone, Sirius opened the letter and skimmed the words.
"Dearest Luna, you have entered my soul
And soon you will be gone.
Can it be only a week since we met
And the world was reborn?
If I should fall in the battle to come
Let this be my goodbye…
Now that I know you love me as well
It is harder to die
I pray that Merlin will bring me home
To be with you.
Pray for your Harry. He prays for you."
"Who was at the door, Papa?" Luna inquired as Sirius entered the sitting room at Rue Plummet. Luna was sitting on the couch, sewing one of her dresses. It had a tear and she was mending it.
"No one, sweet girl," he said, kissing the top of her head. "I'm going to bed. Will you be all right?"
Luna nodded and watched her Papa go to his room. She hoped the day would come soon when she would be able to exit and enter the house freely without her father accompanying her everywhere.
She finished her sewing and set it aside. She then said goodnight to the housekeeper before going to her room.
As she slept, she dreamt of Harry and hoped to Merlin he was alright.
