Summary:

I've changed my mind about this chapter wayyy too many times. I was originally gonna write the battle into this chapter, then changed it to a Daily Prophet Article, then back to the battle, then to this.

Chapter Text

Luna tilted her head.

"Ginny, heed the Nargle's warning. Beware the Wrackspurts today as we fight to freedom, as you may find yourself lost to the world you fight to be free in."

"Luna, we won't lose anyone. We can't afford to lose anyone. Especially not you, Luna, you have massive powers!"

She smiled slowly, blue eyes shimmering softly.

"On behalf of my death, I bequeath everything, including my magic, to Ginerva Molly Weasley, and insist that she wins this battle, so mote it be."

Ginny never heard these muttered words, and Luna only whispered a few extra into her ear.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley, you listen to me right now. I love you, but we can win this war without me. But we cannot win this war without you. Trust me, I will protect you. You have nothing to worry about."

Ginny looked shocked at this statement.

"Luna Pandora Lovegood! You will swear to me that you will fight and won't try to die!"

A limpid tear slipped down Luna's face and she whispered, "I swear."

Ginny's face relaxed into a smile and she released Luna from her hold, the latter already walking away, bare feet making no sound.

"Wait! Luna! I love you too!"

But Luna had already walked away and didn't hear Ginny's cry.
