Author- I don't know if I can even call myself an author but here it goes.
Disclaimer!
I don't own anything, all of this is JK Rowling's. Also this is my first fic on this site so bare with me and my awful grammar and spelling. I am in no way shape or form a professional writer and this is just a hobby. I am also from America, so the only British words I know are from Harry Potter so bare with me. Also, as I said at the beginning, this fic is a combination of a bunch of head-canons and ideas that I've seen on Pinterest. So some of the points or conversations in the story are not original. I decided to put them all together. Anyway... here's the chapter.
Chapter 4-
Harry had enough of magical tattoos to last three lifetimes, but he knew Luna. Every tattoo she was giving was the opposite of every dark mark Harry has seen. Harry was sitting beside Ginny, holding her hand. At first glance she was laughing and joking but the amount of pressure she was using to squeeze Harry's hand almost made him yowl in pain. But she was being tough for everyone but him, and she knew it too. Harry was always going to be there for her. The best and worst moments.
Ginny was getting a small crescent moon on the inside of her forearm. After Luna's done the tattoo will change colors according to the weather, and will glow when the weather is perfect for Quittich. Harry smiled to himself, it was such a Ginny tattoo. No doubt Luna helped out with it. Harry noticed over the years that Luna was a different kind of smart, she wasn't book smart like Hermione, but creative. Her mind worked differently than others, in a good way, a way that would change the world for the better.
After Ginny explained her tattoo, everyone around the room took pride in explaining theirs. Neville explained that his was a tattooed ring around his middle finger that gave him the word he was looking for, but Luna said that she liked his stutter, "it makes you, you" she had said. Seamus got a small bomb on his collar bone that ticks to the beat of Dean's heart. Ron nudged Hermione to show hers. To Harry's shock, Hermione had an hourglass on her shoulder-blade that pulsed with her heartbeat. And sometimes would stand up and run sand when she was stressed. Barely two seconds after Hermione finished, Ron showed a spider with roller skates on his wrist. Every time he was faced with something he feared the spider would fall and fall again, like the boggart in their 3rd year. George stepped up and showed his un-magical tattoo, to Luna's demand, a china cup mended with gold over his heart. Then after everyone was done explaining in the room Luna said she gave Hagrid a square tattoo that changes and tells him the needs for creatures around him. And she transformed Draco's dark mark into a sleeve of flowers, snakes, and turtles.
"What did you get Luna?" Harry asked. Luna finished up Ginny's tattoo and murmured a spell as she ran a hand over the sensitive skin, the tattoo changed a cloudy gray to match the skies outside. Then she pulled up her sleeve to show her wrist that said:
To Harry Potter
The Boy Who Loved
"Um...Luna I hate to break it to you but you spelled 'loved' not 'lived'" Harry said jokingly.
"No. I meant to write 'loved,' You see, you did not live. With every death, a part of you died. Your parents, Sirius, Dumbledore, Remus, Tonks, Fred...you, yourself even died. And for what? For the love. For your love. For your love to everyone, for the greater good. Your friendship and love for me was irreplaceable. Because you were my first true friend, and I will never forget that" Harry smiled as Luna finished.
"I'm glad I took you to that lame party then," Harry said with a smile. They stood and hugged each other.
"Now, it's your turn, Mr. Harry Potter. I have just the thing for you." Luna smiled wickedly.
Harry left the common room with small horntail, but it moves to sit proudly on his shoulder or cower in the crook of his elbow as it pleases. Luna told him it would wake him up from bad dreams and keep him warm on cold nights. The tattoo made Ginny bend at the waist in laughter.
Harry and Ginny walked hand in hand to the great hall, Harry had to talk with someone.
As they neared the changing staircases, Nearly Headless Nick came floating down to them. Ginny gasped as they saw that his head was in his hands.
"Oh! Nick your not nearly headless any more" Ginny said with glee.
"Right so Ms. Weasley. I shall be joining the headless hunt come next autumn." he said with pride.
"Well, that's wonderful, but who will be the Gryffindor ghost." Ginny asked.
"Well, I believe he should be around here somewhere." Just as he said it a see-through Fred Weasley came around the corner running away from Filch. Ginny fell on her knees and started sobbing. Fred turned and came down to where she knelt.
"Hey, don't cry sis." Fred said with a soft face. But when Ginny lifted her head it was full of rage.
"YOU WERE DEAD! WE MOURNED FOR YOU!" She was screaming now.
"Hey, hey, chill out. I already explained this to the others and was on my way to find you two but there was a armor st-"
"GET ON WITH IT YOU BAFOON" Ginny yelled, her face tear stained.
"Okay, okay. Well, turns out I'm a ghost" Fred said gesturing to himself. Harry barked out a laugh.
"Real shocker." Harry said dully. Ginny turned on him with a stare that made him shut up.
"Well, normally people become ghost cause they don't wanna die, but I died laughing and all that so I really couldn't be a ghost. Buuuut Dumbledore said that me and George's souls are linked so I'm a ghost until he dies. So what better position than to be the Gryffindor ghost and scare all the first years." Fred finished.
"You have a sick sense of humor" Ginny said crossing her arms.
"You love it" Fred said with a smile. "Cheerio, I have pranks to do, people to scare." And with that Fred was gone.
"Are you alright?" Harry said with a soothing hand on her back.
"Yeah, but I would kill him if he wasn't already dead." Ginny said as she and Harry continued down to the great hall.
When they walked into the great hall the last people were leaving. Harry gave a reassuring smile to Ginny and walked over to Narcissa and Draco Malfoy.
"Mrs. Malfoy, I know you did it for Draco, but thank you for saving my life," Harry said, and turned not expecting an answer.
"Your welcome." She said, "And thank you for ridding this world of him, you have made our life's and many more better for the good."
Harry nodded with a slight smile. He walked up to Draco and held out his hand. "I know we never got along well, but we are different people now. For the better" Draco took his outstretched hand with his own tattooed covered one.
"For the better," he said simply. Harry let go with a smile and walked back to Ginny and took her hand as they headed back to the dormitory to pack for a danger free summer.
Author- That was chapter 4...I know the Fred explanation was fast and sudden but in my mind i thought that this is how the scene would go. Also, in this fic the ship is Harry and Ginny. Sorry if i implied the Harry and Luna ship. As the story goes on, they will stay very close friends. But Dean and Seamus is a thing sooooo... PLEASE REVIEW...but please no hate. Suggestions are encouraged.
