DISCLAIMER: Nothing's mine, except the specific order in which these words are placed. The same goes for the rest of the chapters, too. The characters, places, etc, aren't mine, they all belong to other people (namely J.K. Rowling), so don't sue me, please!

Author's Note: Since I have yet to have someone tell me that my story is terrible, I'm taking that as license to continue. But, again, please review!

I've just read through some of the chapters, and changed a few things; Nothing important, I think, but they should be a little easier to read now.

Ch. 6

"Hermione," Ginny said, breathless, having just ran to the Gryffindor common room from her last lesson, "I need your help."

"With what?"

Ginny thought for a moment about the best way to present her problem without embarrassing Neville or Luna. "I need to get Neville to go somewhere at a specific time, to meet somebody."

"Who?" Hermione asked, intrigued.

"Umm… Sorry, but I can't really tell you. I promised a friend…"

"It's Luna, right?"

Ginny was stunned. "How did you…"

"Please. It's only obvious that she fancies him. You might as well tell me the where, so I can help you."

"You know that big tree down on the western end of the lake?"

"Okay." Silence, for a moment. Then, "Does Neville want to meet Luna?"

"I don't exactly know. He said that he liked her, but he's been avoiding her since then."

"Just, tell him that she really needs to talk to him, and tell him the where and the when." Hermione pulled Ginny in close, and whispered her next words. "I don't know if you've noticed, but Neville is a bit, well, sensitive, about certain things."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, well, if you want Neville to come, there are certain things that you shouldn't bring up." Ginny gave Hermione a blank stare. "Just, be nice to him, but don't talk down to him. Do NOT compare him to other people, don't try saying that, like, 'so-and-so would be more than happy to go'."

There was a look of understanding on Ginny's face as she realized the true importance of this advice.
