AN: OKay Okay I think I've tortured you poor souls enough. Time for an update. Well I found some extra time on my hands so I thought I'd write up a chap. Just a warning there is no Draco in this chapter. Better Luck next time. Well here it is. Enjoy!
I was in the library finishing up some left over homework. Christmas vacation was almost up. Draco would be coming back soon. I'm so happy that someone finally figured out who I am. And of all people, I never thought Draco Malfoy would be the first. But then I'm a little worried about what this all means. What did Draco mean in his letter? Respond kindly? I wish he had made that a little clearer. At least I know he still wants to be friends, but will it be the same? I'm so worried he is going to treat me differently. I really hope he doesn't. I don't think I could handle it. I need something stable, more stable than Ron's hate for me.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and when I turned around to see who it was I found Luna Lovegood standing just behind me. She gestured to follow her. I was a little hesitant. Luna and I had been friends before the war but now she might share the same feelings as Ron did. Still, I was curious as to what she wanted to talk about so I followed her.
Luna lead me down a couple of rows and then turned to hide behind one of the book shelves. When I turned to follow I saw there was a door. Luna opened it and went inside. I followed and shut it behind me.
"I've been waiting and waiting to talk to you, but Ron is usually around or you're with Malfoy. I just couldn't wait any longer when I saw you sitting there." Luna babbled cheerfully.
"Ummm... Luna? What's this about?" I asked her.
"Oh!" Luna rushed over to me and took my hands in hers. "Ginevra Weasley you had me worried sick." My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I couldn't believe my luck. Two people knew. I could jump for joy!
"How did you...?"
"Those letters. They always mentioned Aria Black. And you mom sent that howler. Ron thinks they're pranks you set up." Ron thought my letters were pranks? He must be a good actor. I saw tears in his eyes after he read my letter. Stupid, thick headed, wanker! "But I don't think they're pranks. I even went to Dumbledore. I thought that if anyone knew who Aria Black really was it would be him. I knew it was you, I knew it." Luna said. She was now jumping up and down. She still held my hands so my arms were waving up and down along with her.
"Luna?!"
"Oh! Sorry." She said and let go of my hands, but continued to jump. I rolled my eyes. Luna Lovegood, crazy as ever.
"I'm happy you figured it out, but can you please stop jumping?" I asked her. Luna quickly stopped.
"Oh yeah, sure." She said. "Oh, there is something I have to tell you." She said suddenly serious.
"What is it?"
"It's about Ron."
'What's he up to this time? He isn't going to push me down the stairs again, is he?"
"he pushed you down the stairs? I didn't know about that. Well I knew you fell, but Ron pushed you? he could have killed you." Luna huffed.
"You sound like Harry. I think he meant to ill me, Luna. I overheard Harry and Ron talking a while ago. harry, at least, didn't sound like he was out to kill me. I don't even think he believed Ron that I'm a death eater."
"Are you?"
"NO!!!"
"Alright, no need to shout." Luna exclaimed. "Well I guess I sound like Harry a little. I ever really noticed before." Luna said then let out a little giggle. Like she knew something I didn't.
"What?"
"Oh, its just that Harry and I have kind of been seeing each other lately, but no one knows yet. He's so dishy! I could just eat him, but I won't 'cause then I wouldn't be able to see him." She paused for a moment, taking in some air. "But he's worried about what Ron will think, so no one knows yet... well except you, and maybe Dumbledore because he knows everything about everyone. I wonder how he does that."
"Luna, you're babbling" but inside I really did wonder how Dumbledore knew about everything going on. Or did he? If he knew about Ron pushing me down the stairs wouldn't he have punished Ron by now?
"Oh sorry. Anyways Ron is up to something, but I don't think he'll push you down the stairs again. A shark never strikes twice in the same spot. No, no, I think he's up to something a bit more clever. I just haven't figured out what. But you should know he has been spreading rumors about you. Oh, you might have heard some. Lots of people believe him about you being a death eater. Some are saying you escaped from Azcaban. Others say you killed Ginny, but you couldn't have done that... you are Ginny. there is actually a really funny one I heard the other day. Some think you're Sirius Black's daughter and because he was called snuffles, some people are calling you fluffy. But they shouldn't because Fluffy is a hug three headed dog. He's one of Hagrid's pets. And then if you were Sirius Black's daughter wouldn't you not be a death eater? He was, after all, on the good side. He even fought with the order.
"Luna you're doing it again."
"Oh sorry." Luna said. "Its just that Ron really, really hates you. And I thought you should know."
I figured Ron hated me. I figured he thought me responsible for my own "death". But it just clicked. Ron will never figure out who I am. He won't let him self.
"Anyway, whatever you do, Ginny, be careful. He's out to get you." And with that Luna left.
I stood there in the empty room for a bit feeling both happy and sad. Happy because Luna knew who I was and she didn't act any different. Sad because Ron will never know.
I took a deep breath then opened up the door, but quickly closed it...but left it open a crack so I could look out. There, just in front of the door, was Harry and Luna.
"What were you doing in there?" Harry asked.
"Oh nothing. There wasn't a boy in there if thats what you want to know." Luna told him. "I was only talking to fluffy." I nearly laughed at Luna's little joke, but I restrained myself.
"The three headed dog?" Harry asked. Luna lied and nodded her head. "I wonder what he's doing back in the school."
"Oh who knows." Luna said as she took Harry's hand. Harry then leaned down and gave a her a tender kiss then pulled back.
"I really should get back to Ron. He'll wonder what's taking me so long."
"I suppose." Luna sighed looking down at her feet.
Harry tilted her chin up and gave her another kiss "I'll see you later." harry told her then went off to find Ron.
"Yeah, see you later." Luna mumbled to herself then went off somewhere.
I came out of the room and went back to my table. I set aside my homework and pulled out a fresh sheet of parchment. Luna did me a favor so I was going to do her one.
Dear Harry,
Let no one but Luna Lovegood read this letter.
Well, Harry, I guess it is about time I wrote you a letter.
Well how are you? I guess your scar doesn't hurt anymore with Voldemort being dead and all. I have to thank you for the attack on Riddle manor. If it weren't for all the explosions my cell door wouldn't have swung open. How are things? Wondering how you're going to answer my questions? Go ask Luna where I am. If she seems hesitant show her this letter. Just make sure no one is around you. I want people to figure it out on their own. You're the first person that won't have to put two and two together. I won't write it down here 'cause you never know who is reading over you shoulder. Thats why you have to ask Luna.
Oh and another thing. I hear you and Luna are together. I'm glad. Make her happy or I'll hurt you. And don't worry about Ron. Hello! He doesn't like anybody. He hated Hermione before he got to know her, let me remind you. Don't keep your relationship a secret for long. Its hurting Luna. She want to tell people. I'm sure you do too. it bother her to hide her feelings for you, your relationship. Make things count.
Well I have lots to do, but I'm sure I'll talk to you soon.
Your Friend Ginny Weasley.
AN: I had to stick in some Harry/Luna somewhere. They are meant to be together. But really did I do Luna justice? Does she seem out of character? Please tell me what you think. Anyways. Review, Flame, or do nothing at all. It's all good.
