Hello everyone! I'm terribly sorry that it has taken me a month to update! I've just been so busy with two plays back to back and even overlapping. Plus schoolwork. But thankfully, one play is over and the second opened last weekend so I won't have that t worry about much, only for the next two weekends.

This chapter was really hard to write, as I had writers block. That's partically why it took so long. I'm not extremely pleased with it as I was with others, but I decided I would punish you people no longer. I hope you enjoy this a little more then I did...

Disclaimer: SIGH I was like 8 when these books started to come out. Too young to write a best seller series.

Dedication: For my lovely new boyfriend, with whom our relationship seems so weird

to most. For alas, he is a senior, and I a freshman. Not to mention we are just totally

different from one another. But they say it's cute and awesome.

Chapter 11: Our Little Guests

Ginny flopped down on the pile of pillows in a fit of tears. She was so angry at Harry. Why was it he could only think of himself? Why couldn't he see he wasn't the only one affected by Voldemort?

"Ginny, what's wrong?" Lily asked from her frame.

"Harry! He's so arrogent! He thinks he's the only one Voldemort has ever hurt. He doesn't know what went on in my first year! He doesn't know about what's going on with me at all. And he won't let me tell him. He thinks i'm nothing but a child! I just can't believe hims sometimes!" Ginny wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry. "She mumbled as Lily and James exchanged a look. "I'm just overwhelmed. He's-"

"I understand Ginny, darling." Lily said. "I understand what it's like to be in love an arrogent boy. It's being a teenager I think." James smiled.

Ginny returned the smile and turned to Dumbledore. "Professor? The wnads been distroyed. So that leaves the snake, the cup, and Voldemort himself right?"

"Yes I do believe that is correct Miss Wealsey. Might I suggest you get a goodnight's sleep? I hear Minerva calling me." And sure enough, Ginny could hear McGonagall calling from her office at Dumbledore's other portrait.

"If you will excuse me." Dumbledore slipped out from his portrait.

Ginny hurried to prepare for bed and layed down on the large pile of pillows. She didn't feel like sleeping on the bed tonight. She was asleep before Dumbledore came back.

Ginny woke the next morning to the sound of several voices outside her curtain. She groggingly pulled herself to the curtain and peeked out. She did not like what she saw. Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore were talking to the three people Ginny wanted to see the least at the moment.

"So let me get this striaght. You want me to lie to the Weasley's, tell them I have no idea where you are, and then turn around and let you stay here?" McGonagall said.

"Well... yeah!" Ron answered.

"Professor we need your help because you need ours! The ministry, the order they don't know what's going on. Without me, this war will never end." Harry said.

Professor looked like she was going to say something, but simply looked at the trio. "Albus, what are your thoughts on the situation?"

Ginny saw Dumbledore give a glance to her before he answered. "If it were my dicision, I would let them stay. But as it is your decision, I can not tell you what to say or do." He answered.

McGonagall stared at Dumbledore for a moment before turning back to the teenagers standing before her. She sighed and attempted to compose herself with the most dignity she could muster.

"Very well. The password to Gryffindor tower is 'ton-tongue toffee'. You may have free access to the library. I shall stay in the castle as long as you stay. Now, if you will kindly excuse me, I have letters to write to concerned parents." And with that, she sat down at her desk and began to write.

"Thank you Professor." Hermione said. She pushed Harry and Ron out of the office ahead of her.

McGonagall sighed and layed her quill down. "This is too much Albus. I think I shall need a nap."

"By all means Minerva." She stood and continued on to the stairs that led to the headmaster's quarters.

"Miss Weasley-" Ginny jumped as she heard a voice from behind her. Dumbledore had returned to his painting in the secret room. "I trust you noticed our little guests?" She nodded. "It's best if you- ah- not wander too much, for fear of being caught."

"Yes sir. But right now, I think i'm going to go down to the kitchen's and see about getting some food."

"Be careful dear." Lily called as Ginny exited the room.

After making sure that the halls were clear, Ginny slowly made her way to the kitchens, the sound of her footsteps echoing. When she came across the painting of fruits, she tickled the pear and waited to be ambushed by the tiny house elves. She did not have to wait long.

"Miss Weezy!" A very familiar house elf began excitedly hugging her legs. "Dobby has wondered how the Weezy's are doing."

"Hello Dobby." Ginny laughed. "How are you? How are Winky andum.. is Kreatcher still working here?"

Dobby squealed. "So thoughtful you is Miss Weezy. So nice. Dobby is doing great. Wonky, she is much better. Kreatcher is not very nice but he does what he is told to. But Miss Weezy! Has you been hearing from Harry Potter?"

Ginny narrowed her eyes slightly. Everything revolved around stupid Harry Potter. "Yea, you might say i've heard from him." Dobby squealed agian and opened his mouth to speak, but Ginny cut him off. "Listen Dobby, Harry is in the castle right now. Dobby pay attention!" For Dobby had squealed for the third time. "Listen, you can not, under any circumstances tell Harry that I am in this castle, do you hear me? He can not find out!"

Dobby bowed low to the ground. "Dobby will not breath a single word og Miss Weezy's whereabouts.But Miss Weezy should hide. Dobby senses people approaching."

"What?! But where can I hide? Help me Dobby!" Ginny frantically hurried to find a place to hide. Dobby shooed her into an almost empty cupboard just as the entry portrait to the kitchens opened.

This cupboard was exceptionally useful for various reasonss. It was directly across from the entry portrait being one. Another being that if Ginny simply opened it a crack, she could see the elves aand the new guests. As she had expected, Ron, Hermione, and Harry allclamored into the large room.

"Harry Potter!" Ginny had to surpress a giggle as Dobby flung himself onto Harry.

"Hi Dobby." Harry gasped. The elf stepped back and admired his hero.

"Dobby has not heard from Harry Potter n so long! The school openeing has been postponed."

"Yea I heard. Listen Dobby, Professor McGonagall has given us permission to live here in the castle. We're bringing two more friends also. We'll all be in Gryffindor Tower. Hermione has set up a sort of calling device for when we need you-"

"Yes of course Harry Potter." Dobby interrupted as the other elves began to scurry about. "We share prepare you dinner and serve it in the tower as soon as we can." Two elves disapperated. "They shall see to it that a table for food is avaliable.

"Thanks alot Dobby!" Ron cried. Hermione looked disapprovingly at him. "What?" He cried. "Hermione, they like being enslaved. They like doing chores. They like it!"

Hermione glanced at the smiling house elves around her. "Do you really like being enslaved like you are?" The grins became wider as heads began to nod. "Fine! Alright. I get it now. Ok i'm done."

"We'd better go before they get here. Thanks Dobby. It was great to see you agian. Visit me upstairs sometime." Harry finished, And with that, the three friends exited the room.

Ginny popped out of her cabinet and ran to the door. "Dobby, i'm going to follow them. Can I please get some food later? Please." She left upon Dobby's nod and followed the voices all the way to Gryffindor tower. She hid as the portrait swung forward. At the last minute, she decided to be daring and ran behind them. Upon entrance, she ducked behind a couch, brushing Hermione and knocking over a small side table.

"Oh." Hermione said as she bent to pick up the table. Ginny rolled under the couch so as not to be seen.

When Ginny was sure Hermione had gone to the other side, she rolled out and crept to the side of the couch farthest from the door and peered over it. The trio were talking. Suddenly, the entrance door opened and in walked Neville holding the hand of... Luna Lovegood?

"Hey... guys." Harry said slowly.

"Hi." Neville beamed. Luna simply smiled.

"Oh, are you two- er- going out then?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, yes. Since the end of term last year." Luna said dreamily.

Ginny could not believe this. 'Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood? Neville and Luna? Going out?!?!
