A Kiss In Time Saves Nine!!!
Harry? Oh, well I HAD noticed that Ginny seemed more than hasty not to bump into him and they had been going out together nearly the whole of last term…Perhaps she had just discovered that she'd been given a Love Potion…
Not that I told her-all in good time as dad says OR Mondigos will get you…
"Harry! Tell me Ginny, what's gone wrong? I know it's hard when you discover that…"
"HE DOESN"T CARE FOR ME! Luna, why doesn't he understand? He wanted to stop meeting me and it was all right, but couldn't he just say what he was doing? I'm not a part of his life anymore. He didn't even send me one post during the holidays and he sent Hermione ten! TEN! And who ever is SHE?"
"Ummm…"
Well, it wasn't a Love Potion after all! The world has become soooo dull!!! O.k. I guess Harry's too nice to do such a thing…
This seemed harder-I'm not a love consultant after all-whatever my name says!
"Hermione-I'm TIRED of her! She thinks she's everything…She thinks Harry cares for what she thinks! She's getting worse than Fleur…" Ginny snorted.
Whoa! Ginny versus Hermione? Eternal Triangle?
"Fleur? How was the wedding?"
"Fleur was bad enough…LUNA are you LISTENING? I should have talked to a broomstick than to you FLUFFHEAD! How could their wedding be held after all What happened at Lupin's?
"Excuse me." The anger I'd felt for Harry seemed to resurface.
"I DON'T KNOW what happened at Lupin's! Before you start shouting at me can you please tell me?"
"That? The Death Eaters attacked! They tortured Tonks to madness and killed three witches."
"Bless Merlin!" I was totally dazed.
Tonks under the Curse? But heavens why does Ginny seem so cold? She was speaking as it was something…common…
'Tonks is at St.Mungo's-in the ward for Incurable Maladies…"
"But..but Hermione said she'd be well…"
Ginny swore and I suddenly realized that a Topic-Changing-Bee had gone through us…
"Ummm Ginny why don't you talk with Harry about about-let's call it your problem?
"Talk to him? You fluffhead do you think he'll listen? Go away Loony-leave me alone! You are no better than a broomstick!"
Gosh, who said that the only treatment needed for Love Heazles was a good cry on a friend's shoulder? She was shouting my ear off!
"Listen Ginny, I want to help you. There's no use having an Anger Midgie in ur brain! Tell me, have you spoken to him?"
Surprise! Ginny was silent-I thought I'd lose my other ear too!
"Did you speak to him?" I repeated-perhaps she hadn't heard.
"Noooo…."
"BUT Luna-I don't –I can't speak to him. Every time I'm alone with him and try to tell something he'll tell about how tired he is and bolt out."
"Hmm!"I thought for a while.
"I KNOW!" It suddenly hit me wham!!!!
"You can't talk to him when you are all alone-so corner him in a crowd!!!"
"Luna? Are you mad???"
"Look here Ginny-corner him in the Great Hall. Then put a charm so he can't move and tell what you have to say. It's all simple-see?"
Ginny frowned. "No, Luna it won't work."
"A kiss in time saves nine and a talk in time saves ninety!"
"o.k…."Ginny nodded reluctantly.
"But…."
What she went on to say I don't know-the door suddenly burst open and an untidy head poked in.
"Ummm Ginny, Luna what are you doing here?"
It was Neville.
We both jumped-he had come like a Lightning Fizzle!
"Ummm…nothing Neville. Just…just umm…talking…"
He looked puzzled-poor guy-but went to the door and yelled, "Hermione, I've found them."
"Oh gosh come along you people. Ginny whatever's the matter?"
"Go away, nothing's wrong!"
"Well…if nothing's wrong-go to the Prefect's compartment with Neville. I want a word with you Luna…"
Surprisingly Ginny just glared at her and followed Neville.
"So Luna, I guess Ginny was telling you about Harry."
"Umm yes Hermione." Ok there was no point arguing with this girl-she simply is far too clever-should have been in Ravenclaw!
Hermione nodded knowingly and sighed.
"Poor Ginny, she's angry with me too. I wish I could help her but she doesn't listen."
"I told her to speak with Harry."
"Why that's great! I think she will listen to you."
"I dunno everyone thinks me loony."
"Nooo…Ginny listned to you, I'm sure. She likes you. She is in trouble and all she wants is some advice. The two of them are made for each other and they know it…"
"So are you and Ron but you two haven't realized it yet…"
"LUNA!"
Hermione looked bemusedly at me and blushed.
"Oh I don't know, he's so so awkward… Now Harry and Ginny-she had a crush for him since second year. She sent him a Valentine card…"
"THAT'S IT!"I yelled.
"Just send Ron a Valentine's card and he'll realize!"
I don't know why Hermione sighed and looked amused at the same time! It was a brilliant idea!
"A world full of love…" I sighed, remembering some Muggle song.
"Harry and Ginny, you and Hermione…I wonder whether I'll have someone…"
"What about Neville?"
Note-I'm going slow and steady...Pls note dat the title of dis chapter will be kinda Luna's motto during dis fic 😉 lolz 😉
