Woohoo! You guys are so awesome, I'm going to give you another chapter.

Exciting news ... I finished planning out this story! I think it's pretty obvious I haven't really been planning ahead (if I had been, I would have mentioned Isobel a little earlier so it wasn't like "holy crap where did she come from?") but anyway it's all good now.

I'm glad the last chapter wasn't too confusing. I kind of wanted it to be a bit ambiguous, like you could read it one way and then see the title and read it differently. Not sure whether I succeeded in that but anyway. You all asked very good questions, which I am not going to answer. (Bwahaha I feel evil.)

Just so you all know, I'm going on holidays (Melbourne and Adelaide yay! Gonna freeze though) next weekend for two weeks, so there will be no updates during that time. I may possibly get another chapter or two up before then though, if you're nice to me.

Nobody got the reference from yesterday but that may have been because I misquoted it, so you get one more chance: It's actually "Well I can't add anything to that. Colin?" Don't Google it, that's cheating!

30. Guts
Sunday

Hermione kneels in front of the fireplace and takes a handful of Floo powder. She glances nervously at the door yet again, though she knows perfectly well that Harry and Ron are at her flat—she waited for them to settle in for the evening before coming.

Almost a week after Ginny left, Hermione thinks it's time someone had the guts to do something about it. Besides, she has a reasonable idea of where she might be…

She places her head in the emerald flames, enunciating clearly, and when the spinning stops she can see a familiar figure.

"Hello Hermione," says Luna. "How've you been?"

"I need to see Ginny," says Hermione. "I know she's there."

"I don't know what you're talking about," says Luna.

"Please, Luna, I know she doesn't want to talk to me, but everyone's so worried about her."

Luna's eyes flick to a point beyond Hermione's view.

"She's there, isn't she? Come on, Ginny, I just want to talk for a second."

Ginny appears, glaring daggers at her. "How'd you know where I am?"

"Easy. I thought about who I would trust if it were me."

"Does anyone else know?"

Hermione shakes her head. "Ginny, can't you give Harry a chance? You know he'd never cheat—"

"That's right, take his side," says Ginny scathingly. "Everyone always does. Go home, Hermione. I don't want to talk to you." With that she stalks out of view, leaving Hermione feeling as though she's been kicked in the gut.
