last chapter: Luna, Neville, and Harry followed behind Ron and Hermione and no one spoke and it wasn't until later when the six were in the common room after everyone had gone to bed did anyone utter a word.
~*~*~*~*~* CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: AN EXTRA ROUND OF HUGS (A/N: Remember, I changed it so Luna's in Gryffindor. Sorry back to the story!)
"Wonder what's going to happen" Neville exclaimed sadly
"I don't know mate. I don't know" Ron said hollowly.
Silence.
"Wonder why all of a sudden?" Neville wondered out loud
"huh?" Harry asked
"Why all of sudden Voldemort decides to attack Hogwarts. It just seems kind of random."
Harry paused, unsure if he should tell them the truth.
"I don't know, Its Voldemort remember. He's got a twisted mind"
"Yea" Luna said softly to herself
"Do you think we'll all be okay? I mean we're up against Death Eaters here. I know we've defeated them before but last year especially was different." Hermione questioned
"Don't know 'Mione. I hope so." Ron said as he embraced her.
Silence once again.
"I—I—I'm scared" Ginny whispered, the only one who hadn't spoken since the news.
"Bout what Gin?" Harry asked, scooting off the couch and onto the floor next to Ginny.
"Everything Harry. Like Hermione said, we're up against Death Eaters. Who knows? This could be our last night together." She said as tears began to roll down her cheeks. Harry took her into his arms.
"Shh....it's okay....don't think about that." He whispered to her.
"I can't help it Harry. I'll bet you, at least one of us is going to die."
"Ginny!" Ron said harshly "How can you even say such a thing?!"
"Because it's true Ron. Open your eyes, all of you. Tomorrow, Lord Voldemort, the man who has killed thousands will arrive at our school with his henchmen, who are almost as bad as he is! How can we possibly stand a chance?"
"We'll win, because we want to. Because we have a reason, and an urge to fight. I've got my mother to fight for." Luna said surprisingly strong and forceful
"I've got my mum and dad." Neville said, gaining courage as he spoke
"I've got my parents" Harry said smiling
"I've got my parents too," Hermione said softly
"I've got all of them, you guys, myself, and Hogwarts." Ron said proudly
"See Gin?" Harry said
"I guess your right but I can't help but feel nervous."
"But think of it this way. Even *if we die, we died fighting. We died fighting for peace and happiness. Justice and Equality, we died fighting for what is right. What greater way is there to die than that?" Luna said again taking everyone off guard.
"Luna's right." Hermione said
"You bet she is. Now C'mon gang lets all get to bed for tomorrow." Ron said as he stretched off the couch
There was an extra round of hugs that night everyone clutched each other tighter, longer, for no one could possible imagine what was in store for them tomorrow.
