This story contains bondage
----------------------------------

As Ginny walked along the edge of the forest, she lightly whistled to herself. Hogwarts was an amazing place, but it was nice to get out of the castle every once in a while and enjoy nature. Which is why on this particular September day Ginny had chosen to venture out into the grounds to take a long walk around the inner ring of the forest that surrounded the castle grounds. She had already walked for about fifteen minutes and was about to hit the halfway point that marked the beginning of the return towards the castle when she heard the noise.

From the trees to her left came the sounds of what seemed to be a person moaning, which was awfully surprising considering how early in the morning it was. No one else was really out and about already except her, and it was too close to the castle to be one of the Forbidden Forest’s denizens. Her curiosity getting the better of her, Ginny ventured a few steps into the forest to see if there was someone in need of help.

After a very small distance, Ginny found herself in a miniature clearing, only about half the size of a classroom, but the sight that greeted her was one of the most confusing things Ginny would ever encountered. On the other side of the clearing, only about a distance of ten feet from Ginny, was Luna Lovegood, clad only in her lavender underwear, with ropes pulling each of her limbs in a different direction. The ropes forced Luna into the shape of an X, and were taut enough to force her onto the tops of her toes. Another set of ropes encircled her modest chest, tightly binding her breasts in a way that put them on display.

What truly shocked Ginny however was the fact that Luna appeared to be whistling into the bundle of cloths that were gagging her mouth, not at all distressed by her lack of freedom or the blindfold that was preventing her from seeing her would-be rescuer. Tightly splayed out by ropes, gagged and blindfolded, and left where almost anyone from the school could have found her, Luna was simply bobbing her head back and forth, humming the tune of a popular lullaby.

“Luna, are you okay? Is whoever did this still around?” As she spoke, Ginny hustled over to her bound friend, fully intent on freeing her and then getting away before the assailant returned.

Luna simply faced her head towards the sound of Ginny’s voice, as if she could stare at her friend even with a blindfold over her eyes. There was not sudden bodily jerk of shock. In fact, Luna did not even seem to be surprised by the sudden appearance of her friend’s voice, nor did she appear to be embarrassed at all by her lack of dress.

When she reached Luna, Ginny quickly removed the blindfold and took out her gag, before attempting to pick apart the knot next to one of her wrists.

“Ginny, stop.” Luna’s voice was surprising commanding, and Ginny found herself stopping even though she wanted to free her friend. Looking at her friend’s face, Ginny found that Luna actually looked amused, as opposed to the expected look of fear.

“I’m not in any danger. I actually enjoy being tied up like this. The ropes are enchanted to disappear in 17 minutes anyways, so there’s no reason to ruin my fun. I find it very relaxing in fact, so whenever my studies or society’s lack of concern over the endangerment of snarfuggles due to wizard logging starts to get to me, my TUG partner ties me up for a little while to help me break the tension.”

“Your TUG partner? And are you actually saying you like this?” Facial expressions could not properly display how confounded Ginny was in that moment.

“Oh, TUG means Tie Up Games. And yes, I really am saying that I like this. I bet you would too. It’s surprisingly fun.” Luna spoke with such conviction that Ginny could not help silently agreeing. It did look interesting, and her school years were the time to try new things. Plus she could really use some help distressing; this term had been much tougher than any of her previous ones.

“I don’t know Luna, it’s kind of weird. And what if people found out?”

“Ginny, do you really think anyone could find me any weirder than they already do? Besides, the risk of someone finding out is half of the fun. Tell you what, why don’t you go ahead and cut my ropes, and then I’ll spend some time explaining bondage some more and if you’re interested, I’ll let you have a go some time.”

“I thought you didn’t want me to untie you?”

“It’s fine. I think I hear the wingbeat of a Flufflesnagus, which are notorious for stealing the clothing of bathing or bound girls anyways. My clothes should be underneath one of the trees just behind me.”

Taking out her wand, Ginny quickly severed the ropes holding Luna’s limbs out and then helped her get the remnants off her wrists. Once her friend was fully clothed, the two of them headed back towards the castle and Luna began to speak in low tones of all the wonders and thrills of being tied up.
-------------------------------------------

Ginny really did not know how Luna had got her to agree to this. It had been just over a week since she had found the blonde bound on the forest’s edge. The two had briefly discussed bondage a few times, and in that time Luna had somehow managed to convince her to give it a try.

Knowing that it was too late to back out without disappointing her friend, Ginny silently made her way to the Room of Requirement where they had agreed to meet. Once she entered, she found Luna had already arrived and had a number of ropes, cloths, and rolls of tape laid out on a simple wooden table. The only other object in the room was a plain chair, to which Luna motioned her to sit in.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am that you’re doing this Ginny. I’m absolutely sure you’ll love it.” Too nervous to talk, Ginny simply nodded in agreement and swallowed as Luna set to work.

Having decided to go easy on Ginny for her first time, Luna began to tie Ginny’s wrists to the arms of the chair before moving up to her elbows and doing the same. As she worked, Luna whistled the tune of a popular song, but Ginny’s nerves kept her from recognizing it.

“So Luna, you never did tell me who your TUG partner is? Was she concerned that I found you?” Deciding that the best way to calm herself down was to try and make chitchat, Ginny began to question Luna.

“Oh, she doesn’t really want you to know who she is, not unless you’re willing to play the game with us on a regular basis. She’s a littler shyer about it than I am. And she thought it was hilarious that you found me like that. I think she was hoping something like that would happen actually.”

Once Ginny’s arms were done, Luna moved on to her chest, wrapping rope around both Ginny and the chair’s back. As the rope forced her against the chair, Ginny began to notice that her heartbeat was starting to race. She actually was getting excited. ‘Geez, what’s wrong with me?’

Luna intentionally wrapped the rope around Ginny’s torso in the same way it had been done to her in the forest, which put the redhead’s sizable breasts on prominent display. Once she finished with the chest harness, Luna reached down and grabbed hold of one of Ginny’s ankles. She deftly tied one end of a rope around it, and then raised it until it was even with the seat of the chair. Then she laced the other end of the rope to the back of the chest harness. After repeating the process with Ginny’s other ankle, Luna stepped back to survey her work.

Ginny had to admit, Luna knew what she was doing. The redhead had very little wiggle room, and because her ankles were connected to her torso by the ropes, trying to lower her legs pulled her body tighter against the back of the chair. She eventually found a comfortable equilibrium, but found that she actually had to work to keep it or her legs would start to slid down. In a few minutes, Ginny knew that she was already going to start to get stiff.
As she reflected on the predicament she was in, Ginny could not help but notice that Luna had been right. For whatever reason, being tied like this was thrilling. It was unexplainable why, but Ginny was enjoying herself as she struggled against the ropes keeping her stuck in position.

“Looks like you were right Luna, this is pretty fun. Maybe I will play the games with you more often after all.”

“Glad you’re having fun. Want me to add anything else before the gag? The position you’re in right now is pretty basic. If you want, I can make it a little more intense.”

“Uh no, this is fine. How long do you think I should stay like this, it being my first time and all?” Ginny could not believe that Luna thought this was simple. She had only been in it for a few minutes and she was already getting sore in her legs.

Luna actually looked disappointed by Ginny’s response; she must have had something planned.
“Too bad then I guess. Well, I think you should stay like that for at least thirty minutes to really make sure you get everything out of the experience.”

“That’s fine. Time for the gag?” Ginny let out a nervous laugh; this was the part she had been looking forward to the least, but Luna had insisted it was necessary.

The blonde answered by grabbing a couple of cloths, balling them up, and then forcing them into Ginny’s mouth. To Ginny, they seemed too big; they barely fit in her mouth in the first place. But Luna was not satisfied, and managed to poke and prod another one in. Then grabbing the roll of red tape off the table, she layered a couple of pieces on, making sure to avoid Ginny’s hair in the process.

“Guess that does it. Oh, and did I say a half hour? I meant to say an hour and a half. Oops.”

Outwardly groaning at Luna’s final comment, Ginny couldn’t help thinking internally that maybe an hour and a half wouldn’t be so bad. She was definitely doing this again.
