Ginny Weasley and the Female Crew

Episode 23: Gentleman prefer gingers

 "Hold still," ordered Luna as she was applying glittery eyeshadow.

I reluctantly obeyed, following her advice. I wasn't in Gryffindor tower but instead the lovely dorm room of Ravenclaw building. The girls' dormitory was the perfect place to take pictures. I heard a camera snap, probably a test shot. "The light is perfect in here", chanted Lisa. 

"Okay, her outfit is perfect. Are you ready, Luna?"

I imagined Luna nodded. I opened my eyes and stared at the mirror. While I normally wore quidditch team sweaters and plain t-shirts, I had to admit I looked beautiful. 

I wore a nice white tank top with matching white shorts. It was one of those tie on tops. I looked like a million bucks. I snapped out of the mirror and saw Cate grinning proudly. "You look excellent."

I blushed now realizing how much the top showed. While I did look bold, I also didn't want to look like I was asking for it. "Do you think this is a bad idea", I asked shyly. "I mean, i know I look great but seriously, I'm only dressing up to win a bet. Not that I don't like what you bought". I told that last part to Mandy who simply shrugged.

"Look", Mandy began. "Last year, Fred had changed his picture into a shirtless pic, How is this different?"

"Besides the fact that I may or may not made copies of that photos and ogled it for an entire month", Cate commented casually.

Okay, that's gross. I rolled my eyes and then realized how true it was. Fred had done one once, heck, even Malloy takes shirtless pictures of himself everyday basically. This makes my plan look innocent. Besides, it's not a big deal. I just had to be not so suggestive. 

"Okay,"I began before standing up. "Let's do this now that I have the nerve".

"One, two, three", yelled Lisa as I did a funny pose in the photo. Suddenly, a flash of light started to burst into the room. "Perfect. How about you take more?"

I giggled playfully as more flashes glowed. As Lisa was prepared to take another photo, I was suddenly shoved on the ground. I looked up to find myself attacked by Mandy. 

"Sorry," she giggled. "Missy dared me."

I saw a smug looking Missy raise her hand to cover a laugh. "Oh she did", a mischievous grin appeared onto my face. Me, Mandy, and Cate had eye contact and counted to three. One...Two...Three.

Cate, who was behind Missy, threw herself into her back while we threw ourselves on top of Missy who tried to slap us off. "Get off me", the girl bellowed playfully. I saw flashes of light and a few snaps from the camera. Lisa was taking pictures of us. Lovely, I guess.

While the morning was very lousy, the night was almost unforgettable. Suddenly, we heard a knock. "Do you think its Michael?", squealed Mandy in joy.

"Nope", Lisa said casually. "The slides would turn to stairs."

"Yeah, I heard Dumbledore had them guarded by Trolls", Luna claimed solemnly.

Lisa opened her mouth to protest but Missy glared at her, therefore silencing her. "Don't. You. Dare", she growled protectively.

Lisa turned to Mandy and I who also glared at her. Luna may have been, well, Looney Lovegood, but she was our little cinnamon roll whom we knew and loved. In other words, you mess with Luna, ya mess with the Female Crew. 

Missy lifted herself off the ground and onto Luna's messy bed, while Lisa began stepping away from the camera.

"So, did you hear about the Holyhead Harpies?" I asked eagerly. I loved the Holyhead Harpies. Seriously, by love I mean absolutely obsessed with them. When my brothers kept barring me from Quidditch stuff, I managed to sneak into the broom shed. After learning how to play quidditch, I paid more attention to female teams specifically the Harpies.
