Chapter XXX : Into the Winds

Luna couldn't have been more disappointing for Ginny, for Ginny had desperately wanted Luna to be frightened of her. But not even being chained up, completely isolated and in a dark windowless room, Luna wouldn't stop smiling- . "What are you smiling for?" Ginny questioned her, and Luna gave a bright flash of those pearly whites.

"I'm smiling because of how simply foolish of you this was. I feel sad for you as well, you are pitiable, somewhere within you, you actually thought this was a good idea. Now, where are we? I see many cages, bottles and jars- are we in your laboratory of love?"

"I think you are a lunatic, as does everyone else with any matter of intelligence. So, I don't need you feeling sad for me, I will soon have all that I want." Ginny touched her wand to Luna's eyebrows and started burning them off with a small heat. "Stupid little princess, how do you like this for your stupid questions?"

Luna's eyes went up as far as they could to follow Ginny's wand movement, Ginny appreciated the quizzical look she was receiving.

"You know, I'll actually be able to grow those back once I receive a new wand. As would anyone with an ounce of talent in Transfiguration. I guess you didn't get that OWL did you, Gin Gin?" Luna gave a most high pitched laugh, and Ginny scowled at her.

"Bitch." Ginny backhanded Luna and Luna's eyes closed from the pain. Ginny walked over to a particular jar and smiled as she pulled out a mouse, whose mouth refused to open, and she brought it before Luna whose face had dawning comprehension on it.
"Is that a gift for me? Why thank you so much, I usually appreciate animals a lot more than most, they're so much kinder than humans at times." Luna eyed the mouse.

Ginny laughed and felt it shake her bones, she felt excited again, her body was getting hotter by the second as she laid the mouse down before Luna's feet. "Petrificus totalus!" The mouse had started to run off, but was frozen almost comically in mid sprint. "You'll enjoy this, Looney." Ginny made a slashing movement with her withdrawn wand. "Sectumsempra!" and Ginny jumped up and down as the mouse's tail seperated from it's former body with a small shower of blood. The mouse fell over, and it was seen by Ginny and Luna, to be breathing laboriously.

Ginny came close to Luna and spat in her face. "How ya like that one, you dumb animal? Did you like that Looney, did you think it was a good laugh?"

Ginny waited for Luna's response, it was almost like waiting to cum when your partner was making it difficult to do so. Ginny had never liked waiting. The time ticked away, and Luna just looked smug. Ginny's hand flew towards Luna's face again to backhand her, and that is when Luna's teeth sank into Ginny's hand. "Aiieieeee!" Ginny screeched as Luna's teeth buried themselves between Ginny's forefinger and thumb.

"GET OFF!" Ginny shrieked as her wand hand flicked. "Relashio! Relashio! Relashio!" Ginny was thrown backwards as Luna's teeth seperated, Luna's mouth now painted with Ginny's blood.

Ginny clutched at her hand, and was horrified to see the deep marks in her hand, she felt her forefinger growing numb, and she had never been one for healing easily.

"Your own brother was hit with Sectumsempra, have you no shame?" Luna said, blood trickling off her lips now, landing on and ruining her good robes. "I hope it felt good, that should be very painful for a while."

"I'm going to show you painful, you daft whore." Ginny said, as she rose shakily to her feet, careful to keep her injured hand behind her back. Ginny's mouth curled as she waved her wand and whispered, "Nox."

Knoby's nerves were all out of order, they had been since his Luna had not returned after a few hours. Finally, at a quarter past eight Master Harry came to see him. "Knoby, didn't you tell me earlier that Luna was just supposed to be visiting her Dad?" Harry sat down, offering Knoby a seat next to his own.

"Yes, Master Harry. Miss Luna was telling me that she was only visiting her father in Ottery St. Catchpole, and that she would return shortly...essentially that is what she said."

"Because I just received an Owl back from Xeno, telling me he has not seen Luna in a few days and she has not made herself known to him if she is there. Did she say she was stopping anywhere else beforehand?"

Knoby was worried, Miss Luna was a capable witch, but in these times it was easy to be overcome if one were not careful. "Master Harry, I don't know anymore. Knoby knows she went to see Mr. Draco in Azkaban, and that she returned here. If's I were to make a guess, I think she would be out looking for evidence to support Mr. Draco's innocence. How she would go about getting that, I do not know, the ordeal is so complex." Knoby looked to Harry who was tugging at his hair.

"Knoby, I must ask you to do something very difficult, are you willing to help me find Miss Luna?" Harry remained seated, while Knoby rose to his full height.

"Sir, I would gladly search all ends of the Earth for Miss Luna." He put a hand over his heart and held his head high. "Would even go so far as to battle a vicious nest of Wrackspurts, Knoby would swim the deepest..." Knoby was interrupted.

"Excellent, then what I need you to do is stay here, and watch the children." Harry said, getting up. "I could not dare send you out to brave dangers all by yourself, and you are a most capable elf. Therefore, I trust you completely with the children. When I return, verify my identity by asking me something only I would know, it sounds questionable I know, but nobody save Luna knows me as well as you do. My friend, can you do this?"

Knoby at first was dissappointed, but at his masters ( and friend) words he was emboldened, and took out his wand and held it as his side. "Sir, I am honored by your trust in Knoby. I will do your will until my last breath."

Harry bent down and embraced the elf, "I hope that you never breathe your last, my dear little friend." and with that Harry took his invisibility cloak from off the nearby coat rack, and set off into the night, as Knoby locked the door behind him.

"Good luck, Master Harry, find her safe!" Knoby called into the winds.

AN: Reviews are much appreciated, please give me some good ones. Thanks to EVERYONE who favorited after the last chapter, it means so much! You are all awesome! Did you know I actually considered calling this chapter "Harry Potter, at worlds end?" I didn't think it would encourage a lot of you to read on, so I made it 'Into the Winds', tee hee.

Currently this chapter is Un-beta'd, Dream is a little busy at the moment, but you'll have fresh and crisp chapters before too long. On a personal note, my honeymoon starts this weekend, I'll be gone from a computer for 10 days. So unfortunately no new chapters for you until then, but once I return I promise a double dose of Luna, and a little surprise me thinks.

Until then, good health and happy readings!

Love, TowerMage
