TW- self harm...

Brave. Comforting. Wild. Joyful. Fierce. Those are the words Luna had come to associate with Ginny.

It had been 2 weeks since the attack incident, and Luna was doing better. She had not cut herself since the incident... well, ok, only once.

"Hey Luna? Can you pass me that sheet of parchment pleasee?" Her, Ginny, Mione and Neville were sitting in the Gryffindor common room, where Luna usually hung out, doing an essay for Potions about A Truth potion, Veritaserum. They were also wondering where Harry and Ron were.

"Ugh, we haven't seen them all day! They haven't even come to any classes?" Hermione exclaimed. Just as she said it, as if summoned, Harry and Ron swung open the portrait whole and swung in. "Huh. the password's 'slugbug'. Kind of gross, to be honest."

"You could be HONEST by telling us where you've been all day!" Hermione snapped at them. "Love you too, babe." He blew a kiss at her, which cracked her and made her roll her eyes and laugh, and then go up and kiss him.

I want to kiss someone like the way they do... I've never even kissed ANYONE.

Luna's thoughts were broken by Ron talking. "Oh yeah! About where we were today. Harry, wanna tell them?!"
"Oh yeah!" said Harry, who looked momentarily distracted by their kiss. "You won't believe this." ge said. "guess what?" They all said "what?". "Well, we discovered a whole new room in the castle! You guys should come with us tonight to see it! It's almost better than the room of requirement! It's got a whole bunch of cool old magical artifacts, and blimey, it's big, too!"

***
That night, everyone sneaked out of their bed at 10 pm, and gathered in the common room. "Ok, so Luna should be here any minute so we can go." "ok."

Just then the portrait hole opened, and in walked Luna. She was nervous, but also excited. They never were able to have the sleepover, so this was perfect.

Ginny looks beautiful tonight; well, I suppose she always looks beautiful, Luna thought wistfully.

"Alright, there isn't enough room under the invisibility cloak, and it would take too long to take more then one trip, so we're just not gonna use it." Harry said. The others agreed.

They started off down the corridors, trying not to make any sound, but about halfway down a corridor, when they were almost there, Neville knocked over a metal vase filled with marbles. The sound was deafening, and the clatter was sure to wake up half the castle.

before anyone could shout, "RUN!" Mrs. Norris and Filch, who was wheezing and gasping hungrily, rounded the corner together.

Oh no, Luna thought, oh no, I can't remember the last time I got in trouble, maybe never...!

"Aha! busted, you baboons! Children out of bed! Children out of bed! This is surely a detention for you!" Luna felt her heart drop into her stomach. "In fact, I can take you to Hagrid's for detention right now!"

***
Down at Hagrid's house, Luna, the gang, and Filch saw Hagrid already outside with his bow and arrow and fang at his side.

Hagrid was the gamekeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts. Luna liked him quite a lot, and the gang and him were great friends. Then again, she had heard all about his detentions, and wasn't too keen on-

"Going into the forest tonight kids! Ye got caught outta bed again, eh, Harry? " Hagrid chucked, but then quickly stopped at the stern and disapproving look on Filch's face.

Luna started to get panicky, her anxiety rising. Ginny grabbed her hand and held it. "Hey, it's ok, Lu Lu, these detentions can be fun, although I've only had one" "Thanks Gin." She half-smiled, feeling slightly better now.

Ginny Weasley is holding my hand.

It's ok because Ginny makes me feel safe.

Always.
