AN: For blackmoonsilver, who requested Harry/Luna.

"Is everybody ready? You all know the plan, don't you? Maybe I should go over it once more."

"Damn it, Harry. We know what to do, ok? Can we get going now?" Hermione was exasperated (as was everyone else). They'd gone over the plan hundreds of times and could probably recite Harry's explanation word for word, and backwards as well.

"Are you sure?" Harry was looking incredibly nervous. They all felt that way, of course, but he was the most jittery.

"Yes." The entire Order (those who were present, anyway) chorused.

"In that case, let's go."

They filed out of the hideout, leaving Draco alone. He still hadn't fully recovered, although he was making some improvement. The most difficult part of the operation was entering Voldemort's lair, and this would involve removing the guards who stood outside. Hermione and Luna had been sent ahead to do this, as they could move almost silently through the forest.

It wasn't long before Hermione reappeared, to tell them that the sentries on the south side had been dealt with. Minutes passed, and Luna still hadn't returned.

"Something's gone wrong – they must have caught Luna. We go in, through the south entrance, and proceed with the plan. If you see Luna, she's the priority." Harry decided what to do, and the group set off again.

"I don't like this," murmured Ginny, as they reached the entrance. "It's too easy. They haven't replaced the guards, and the door's open."

"You're right," Hermione replied. "There are no wards on that doorway either. It's not right."

Nevertheless, they crept in. Following the plan, they split into two groups, with Hermione, Ron and Neville going one way, and Harry and Ginny going the other. Luna should have been with them as well, but there was nothing they could do about it now.

As they rounded a corner, Harry caught sight of Luna, huddled in the corner of a cage. Quickly, he unlocked it and helped the trembling girl out.

"Ginny, go find the others. Tell them we've found Luna." She hurried off.

Luna was shivering badly, and had her arms wrapped tightly around herself. She'd been stripped of nearly all her clothing, and left in the freezing cold. She also had several nasty cuts. Harry took off his cloak and wrapped Luna in it, holding her close. She clung tightly to him, and tears began to fall from her eyes.

"It was horrible, Harry. They… they were so cruel, and they enjoyed every moment, it was obvious." Luna sobbed, and Harry didn't know what to do. He wasn't good with crying females, never had been. He kissed her gently on the forehead, hoping she wouldn't take offence or something like that.

"How sweet. Potter and his girlfriend."

"Voldemort."

Harry leaned down and whispered to Luna, then she fled.

………………

Several hours later, a bruised, bleeding Harry Potter stumbled back into the Order's hideout, a look of triumph on his face. He'd told Luna to send everyone back here, and she'd done just that. They were waiting for him, and were clearly frantic with worry.

"Harry Potter, how dare you…" Hermione began.

Ignoring her, Harry flung down two objects onto the table in the middle of the room. Voldemort's wand, broken in half.

"It's over," whispered Neville.

"We won! We really won!" cheered Ron, grabbing the nearest person and dancing round the room with them. That person just so happened to be Draco Malfoy, recently recovered from his ordeal.

Detaching himself from Ron, Draco made his way to the other Weasley in the room, his fiancée. Pulling a small box out of his pocket, he knelt in front of her and opened the box to reveal a stunning diamond ring.

"Ginevra Weasley, will you marry me?"

Ginny flung her arms around him.

"Of course I will!"

AN: And so we come to the end. If you've made it this far, then leave a review to tell me what you thought. I'd suggest checking out my other Ginny/Draco story, "Truth and Lies", which is a prequel to this one.
