The Dreamy Redhead (A Linny fanfiction)

Chapter 7

Ginny POV:

What did I just do.

Here I am, just laying down in the forest with Luna, when I decide to kiss her. I mean- it's not like I regret it, I guess I'm just a little surprised, I guess. 

"You alright, Ginny? You've been really quiet these past few days," Hermione asks me. I look sheepishly at her. She's Hermione, she can be trusted. She won't make fun of you, and you have to tell someone about this, anyways, or you'll explode or something.

"You know the person I was talking about the other day? The one I had a crush on? I never really told you who it was," I say, hesitating. Hermione perks up.

"Oh? And who is it then?"

I gulp. "Er- Luna Lovegood."

Hermione's smile makes my day. "Really?"

"Yeah. And- well- she's not really my crush anymore."

Hermione's smile fades. "Oh."

"Oh, not like that! I mean, well, we kinda kissed..." I trail off, my cheeks getting red. Hermione gasps, clearly surprised.

"I didn't know that you two kissed? When?"

"Like- 5 days ago? You weren't there," I shrug.

"What happened?"

"Ah, well, George brought in some amortentia, and Luna said that she smelled my perfume, and I said that I smelled her shampoo, and then we went in the woods, and- you know," I continue sheepishly. 

"Well, how was it? Kissing Luna, I mean."

I think for a while. "Amazing."

Hermione nods. "Yeah, that's how most people put it. Well, congrats!"

"Thanks, but can you not tell anyone?" I ask.

"Yes, I won't te-" suddenly, someone knocks on the door. I open the door to find a flustered Harry in the doorway.

"It's Luna, she's gone!"

I spring to my feet. "What?! What happened to her?"

"I was too quick for Lucius Malfoy, you know, Draco's dad took her and disapparated, probably to his house! Who wants to come with me?"

"I will!" I shout, before realizing how loud I got. 

"Want me and Ron to come too?"

"No, we can't have so many people charge at them, because we won't have anyone to save us if we all get trapped."

"Ok, is it just me and Harry going then?" I ask.

"Yes. C'mon, apparate with me. You aren't of age yet, are you?" Harry says, panicked. I nod, and Harry and I leave together, appearing in front of the Malfoy Manor. "You ready?"

"Always," I say. Harry fires a spell, and the front door breaks. We burst in, wands at the ready, to see Lucius pointing his wand at us.

"Where did you take Luna?" I shout.

"She's trapped in my house, the same house that you're trespassing in," Lucius says calmly, "Stupefy!"

"Protego!" Harry yells, shielding us both. The next moment is a blur, as multiple other death eaters come. They fire random spells at us, but we dodge them easily.

"Expelliarmus!" I shout, making a death eater's wand fly out of their hand. The other death eaters turn to Harry, which gives me a perfect chance to get in the house. I run past them and into the house. 

"Luna!" I shout, "Luna! Where are you, Luna?"

A moment of silence, but then...

"I'm here!" I hear a voice under me. "I'm the cellar!"

"C'mon, the girl got in!" I hear a death eater shout. I run towards the cellar, worried for Harry and Luna. I find the cellar and run into bars. 

"Luna!" I shout, "We're going to get you out of there!"

I don't hear or see anything, but I don't wait for any reply. 

"Alohamora," I mutter, but the lock doesn't break open. I try again, but fail. 

"This is so stupid," I mumble, casting a spell that blows up the door. I run in, looking around frantically.

"Luna, where are you?" I ask timidly.

"Over here," I hear a voice say. I walk towards the voice, seeing a tightly wrapped Luna in ropes and chains. I unwrap her with shaking hands, and finally, I free her. She stands up and grabs her wand, saying, "Thanks, Ginny."

"No problem," I say, blushing. We run out together, where we find a lot of death eaters before us. "RUN!" I scream, as Luna casts a shield spell on the death eater's curses.

"Harry!" I shout, "Harry! Where are you?"

"O-Over here," Harry says, fighting three death eaters at once. "Help!"

"Stupefy!" I exclaim at a death eater, making him fly backwards.

"Expelliarmus!" Luna says.

We fight back to back, inching closer and closer to the door. Finally, we reach it, and go out together.

"Grab my hand!" Harry says as a death eater shoots a knife at us. We do so, and Harry disapparates with us. I find myself at The Burrow a second later, but I suddenly feel really dizzy. I grab onto Luna, before everything turns black.
