Chapter Five

Caught Red-Handed

"Hey, thanks Luna. For letting u-s always use you as a scapegoat." Harry began but Luna interrupted saying, "Nonsense Harry. This surprise is for Ginny right."

Harry nodded handing Luna a letter. "Please remember Luna if Ginny-"

"'If Ginny comes here ask her if she would like to wait for your return or read the letter and go to you and Hermione.' You've told me hundred times already this past week." Harry had been giving Luna these instructions for about a week and a half along with a new letter everyday always saying that one day Ron wouldn't be able to keep Ginny in the Borrow since she looked too much like her mother. While back at the Borrow Ginny yelled after her brother's retreating back. Ron didn't stop forgetting, until it was too late, that Ginny came of age a month ago. "Impedimenta!" Ron froze just long enough for his sister to catch up. "Now, Ginny it's no use-" he began but she cut across him. "Oh it's no use asking his best friend where he is everyday! I think it's a very good shot!"

Ron coward under his sister's gaze and finally gave up "Ginny, you have to go see Luna with me right now." Ginny looked simply dumbfounded. Being directed to talk to her best friend about her fiancé was strange in her mind but she turned, walked out of the gates and disapperated. Ginny appearated onto a wind swept hillside facing an overly large Rook through Ginny knew she stood before the Lovegoods house she couldn't help but be in awe of the structure that had been rebuilt within a the last few months. Ginny took a step forward and almost tripped over the sign that had sprung up out of the ground.

The sign said:

THE QUIBBLER EDITOR: X. LOVEGOOD

Ginny shook her head and moved toward the door to knock. After the third knock the door was opened by Xenophilius Lovegood. "Mr. Lovegood it's Ginny. Is Luna at home?" Ginny asked tenderly.

"No she's down at the stream if you would like to find her." Mr. Lovegood said and began to shut the door. Ginny turned toward the stream Xenophilius mentioned but came face to face with Luna.

"Hold on Dad, we're coming in. I have something to give Ginny if she's here for what I think she is." Luna said half-glancing at Ginny. She followed Luna up the spiraling staircase leading to her bedroom and newly restored portrait of her friends. The faces of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Ginny stared down at the girls. Luna walked over to the bedside table and pulled open the drawer pulling out a plain envelope. "Ginny I'll assume that you came to find out where Harry and Hermione have run off to?"

"Luna," Ginny began looking bewildered "so you did know where Harry went. Why tell you through? Why not tell me or Ron?" Luna just shrugged and held out the envelope for Ginny to take. She took it and stopped before opening it until Luna nodded encouragement. The letter read:

Dear Ginny,

I beg of you to understand that I can not tell you what myself and Hermione are up to.

Talk to Luna and she will give you some choices. Love always, Harry

Turning to Luna she motioned to the stairs and started to climb down saying as she did so, "Dad could you leave us alone for a while?" The answer didn't come quickly but Mr. Lovegood said as Ginny came into the room "Sure, dear." "Ginny sit down and listen carefully. Harry wanted to surprise you but he knew better than to expect Ron to keep you pent up for more than a few weeks. So he told me the few choices you have-"

"Which are?" Ginny demanded.

"Simple. Either you trust Harry and return to the Borrow or you go to Godric's Hollow." Luna finished dreamily. She was taking a sip of Gilllywater when Ginny stood up and announced that she was leaving for Godric's Hollow and wanted Luna to accompany her there. Luna told her father that she would be having dinner with the Weasley's to help celebrate Harry's Birthday and they left. Their feet hit the ground hard and a shout rent the air. "Ginny, Luna welcome to Godric's Hollow." Ron had been waiting for them to arrive, "Girls if you would follow me I will take you to 1311 Godric's Hollow." Luna followed Ron easily but Ginny hesitated before falling into step behind him. They passed the graveyard coming to a halt next to a newly cut hedge and lawn. It happened when Ron pushed the gate open. A sign rose out of the ground and Ginny read aloud:

On this spot, on the night of 31 October 1981,

Lily and James Potter lost their lives.

Their son, Harry, remains the only wizard

ever to have survived the Killing Curse.

This house, invisible to Muggles, has been left

In its ruined state as a monument to the Potters

And as a reminder of the violence

That tore apart their family.

Ginny stopped, wondering why the house that had appeared beyond the gate looked so intact when the thought came to her, "Ron, Harry's not doing what I think he's doing is he?"

Ron turned and stared asking "What do you think he's doing? Ginny?"

"He's rebuilding the house isn't he, Ron. Harry shouldn't be doing that. The sign says that it was left as a monument to the tragedy that happened." Ginny couldn't understand that Harry had already overcome that obstacle but couldn't undo the sign. Ron walked through the gate and as he did the sign began to sink back into the ground. Luna and Ginny followed. "Harry, Hermione!" Ron called going through the front door. They heard floor boards creaking above their heads. Within moments Hermione came hurtling down the stairs two at a time and dragged Ron from the room. Once in the kitchen she started in on him, "Ron, how could you lead them here without informing us!" Hermione shouted.

"Hermione, listen I didn't know who would turn up. Since it was Ginny's choice Luna and I decided that if Ginny chose to return home Luna would come alone and we would help build or whatever needed doing since she was invited to the party tonight. Why she's here now was probably Ginny's doing." Ron smiled slightly trying to cheer up Hermione, who continued to look stony. A knock on the door ended the argument abruptly. Luna and Ginny came barging into the kitchen with Harry at their heels. "Is everyone alright? Oh, hello Ginny, Luna." Harry finished quickly looking up shocked. Than to cover the moment he ran to door and asked with his wand at the ready, "Who's there!"
