NOTE: I originally intended this to be a completely pointless smutty one-shot. It's still pointless and smutty, but I'm not so sure about the one-shot thing any more. We shall see, I suppose.
* * * * *
Ginny Weasley realised she'd never truly seen McGonagall angry. She thought she had, many times even, but apparently not. As it turned out, she'd only seen her somewhat irritated or mildly vexed before. But now, McGonagall was really, truly, angry.
It was only a very small mercy that she wasn't angry at her right now.
"Ms. Lovegood, what is the meaning of this?"
Luna looked momentarily perplexed. "Transfiguration, isn't it?"
"You know very well what I mean. Why are you not in your school robes?"
Luna looked down at herself and only now seemed to see what everyone else in the class had been staring at for the past five minutes. Luna wasn't in her school robes, or anything else for that matter. She was entirely naked, except for the Ravenclaw tie hanging loosely around her neck. For some reason, that single little garment only seemed to add to her nudity.
"It's a nice day," said Luna. "And I didn't really feel like dressing."
"Didn't feel like..." McGonagall stopped, and Ginny didn't know whether she had no idea what to say next or if pure rage choked the words down. "School rules clearly say that all student must wear the proper attire."
Luna frowned. "Are you saying I'm dressed inproperly? But I'm not dressed at all. Well, except for the tie, I guess. I could take it off if you like."
"Take it..."
In the brief silence that followed, Ginny managed to tear her eyes away from Luna's pale body to see her teacher struggling between rage and complete bafflement. Quickly scanning the faces of her classmates while her eyes inevitably returned to Luna, she saw that everybody else was just baffled. None of the boys managed to work up even the smallest little leer. Which was kind of strange, really. Luna was very attractive in her own way. And besides, boys this age should all be leering at naked girls by now, shouldn't they?
Ginny's eyes came to rest on Luna again and all thoughts of boys fled her mind. There was something horribly beguiling about Luna's almost casual nakedness. While everybody else just sat around looking shocked, Ginny couldn't help but admire the girl. Though it began to dawn on her that her admiration was mixed with... something else.
"Thirty points from Ravenclaw," McGonagall snapped. "And I will see you in detention. If you aren't expelled first."
"Why?" Luna asked. "I'm not breaking any rules. Look, let me just take off my tie and then..."
"You will leave it on!" McGonagall said. "Really, I have never had to deal with a student such as you Ms. Lovegood."
"Thanks," said Luna cheerfully.
"Oh, enough of this," McGonagall sighed. "We have a class to begin."
Luna nodded, crossed her legs and opened her books, seemingly oblivious to the fact that everybody was still staring at her.
"Books open everyone, and eyes front."
Ginny barely noticed everybody very slowly turning away from Luna. The only thing she really noticed was that Luna had started playing with her hair, curling a strand of it around her index finger.
"Eyes front, Ms. Weasley."
Ginny didn't hear. Her ears caught the words and they were carried to the brain, but once there they faded into the background around Luna.
Something came over her. Or perhaps nothing came over her and Ginny was simply Ginny, only more so. It was hard to say, hard to think. It was... there was something she had to do, though she didn't really know why.
Ginny stood and, slowly but methodically, started undoing her robes. Someone shouted. McGonagall most likely. She was probably losing Gryffindor points with every discarded garment. She didn't care. Points didn't matter.
Luna turned her head, saw her, smiled. That mattered.
As more and more of Ginny's freckled skin became exposed, the rest of the world slowly faded back into view. The floor, the ceiling, the benches all returned to her one by one. Strangely, she noticed the clothes of her classmates before she noticed her classmates themselves. For one brief moment, she and Luna were the only real people in a sea of shapeless black cloth.
Finally, Ginny let her panties drop on the small pile of her clothes and sat down again. She was stark naked, except for her tie, which she'd kept on. It was one thing to be nude in the classroom, but quite another to not show her House colours.
"That's it," McGonagall almost yelled. "Out of my classroom, both of you."
"But we're not doing anything wrong," Luna said, her voice calm, but confused.
"Out."
Luna shrugged, gathered her books and stood up. Ginny stood up as well, put her books into her bag and gathered up her discarded clothes. When she looked up, Luna was standing right next to her, smiling like nothing was wrong.
"Well, let's go then."
Ginny nodded. Walking side by side, the two girls headed for the door. Ginny could feel every pair of watching eyes on her body. Part of her realised that she should be ashamed or embarrassed. Or at the very least exposed, but...
Luna was here with her, just as naked as she was. Somehow that made it all alright.
When the door to McGonagall's classroom closed behind them, Ginny leaned against the wall and breathed out slowly.
"You're shaking," said Luna.
Ginny hadn't even noticed. "Probably nerves or something. I've never really done this before."
"You've never just spent the day naked?" Luna asked.
"No," said Ginny.
"Then why did you just strip in the classroom?"
Ginny turned to face Luna and saw the answer the blonde girl's eyes.
"Don't know," she said.
"Well, you should probably bring your clothes back to your dorm. Do you want me to go with you?"
"Please," said Ginny.
Luna smiled and took her hand. Ginny felt a heat flowing from her fingers and spreading throughout her entire body. Even if it hadn't been such a nice day, Luna's simply touch would have ensured Ginny wouldn't need clothes to be warm.
The stairs and hallways leading to the Gryffindor common room were mostly empty. Only a few students loitered around. Some had a free hour, some we skipping class, some were hopelessly lost firstyears. All of them turned to look at her and Luna, their eyes taking in their naked bodies before they turned away, their faces red with embarrassment. Ginny started enjoying their stares more and more. She liked her body and showing it to people made her feel tingly in a very... pleasant... kind of way.
After a strange look from the Fat Lady, Ginny found herself in her dorm. A brief coldness stabbed through her when Luna let go of her hand and sat down on a random bed. Ginny tried not to show that sudden shift in mood and dumped her clothes next to her own bed before sitting down on it.
"Well, I guess now we have nothing to do until we have to leave for Charms," said Ginny.
"We'll probably be thrown out there too," said Luna. "I mean, if McGonagall doesn't even know the rules of the school, I don't think Flitwick will."
"Is nudity really allowed at Hogwarts?" Ginny asked.
"Of course it is," said Luna. "I would never have shown up naked if it wasn't."
Ginny lay down on her back. "If you say so," she said.
Staring up as she did, Ginny couldn't see Luna get up, but she somehow felt the girl come closer and closer until she saw her sit down next to her. The view, she would have to admit, was really very... nice.
"You went very strange, you know," Luna said.
Ginny blinked. "Sorry?"
Luna reached down and idly moved a strand of Ginny's hair. "When you undressed. You looked like you weren't quite there."
"I was there," said Ginny. "It was just that everything else wasn't." She looked up at Luna's face and smiled. "Almost everything else, anyway."
Luna smiled back. Then her face began moving closer. Looking up at her, Ginny instinctively knew what was going to happen next. Unless she did something right now, they would stop being two girls who just happened to be naked and start being... something else.
Ginny did nothing.
Luna kissed her.
It was...
It would be wrong to say it was not what Ginny had expected. Truthfully, Ginny hadn't really expected anything.
It was... it was Luna. Luna's lips, Luna's kiss.
No, Ginny realised as her body began to react almost on its own. Not Luna's kiss.
Their kiss.
Luna moved and somehow manged to do so without her lips ever leaving Ginny's. Before long she was on top of Ginny. Ginny wasted no time in putting her arms around Luna in an attempt to pull her closer. It was impossible, of course, but Ginny tried anyway. She wanted to feel every inch of Luna's skin against her own.
Ginny whined softly when Luna's lips withdrew. There was a glow in the Ravenclaw's eyes and her smile had something impish. Luna leaned down and kissed Ginny again on the lips, on the jaw, the neck, collarbone, the curve of her right breast.
Ginny breathed in deeply as she felt Luna's lips travel across her freckled breasts, trailing small kisses here and there. Her tongue poked out of her mouth a few times and Ginny released the faintest of hisses every time Luna lapped her curves. Luna's wandered shower of soft licks and kisses from one breast to the other, merrily skipping over Ginny's tie, before returning to Ginny's right breast where her lips closed over her nipple.
A moan escaped from Ginny's lips as Luna's tongue played with her hardening nipple. The heat she had felt before from Luna simply holding her hand was nothing compared to the warmth flowing into her body now. She squirmed while Luna continued to suckle on her breast, her arousal growing into a fire between her legs. She wanted to feel Luna's lips press against her down there, wanted her to drink from her, but at the same time wanted Luna to keep lavishing attention onto her breasts forever.
Luna moved again and Ginny was forced to end her embrace. She looked down to see Luna looking up at her as she kissed her way down, from the underside of her breasts to her stomach, her tongue briefly dipping into her belly button. And then down further as Ginny spread her legs before her.
A scream filled the room as Luna kissed Ginny between her legs and Ginny was only barely aware it was hers. Heated desire spread through her body in a single burst. Her hands gripped the sheets tightly when she felt Luna's tongue beginning to explore her folds. Pleasure filled her while Luna calmly let the tip of her tongue stray where it would, seemingly without rhyme or reason.
Ginny's eyes slammed shut and her back arched, a lustful scream catching in her throat as Luna kissed her deeply and her tongue slipped into her. Her whole body squirmed and writhed with pleasure, completely out of Ginny's control, dancing on the tip of Luna's tongue. She felt Luna's tongue almost lapping at her from inside, her juices flowing into Luna's mouth.
Ginny shivered and bucked, screamed and hissed between clenched teeth. Pleasure overloaded her senses, driving her mad. Luna's tongue pushed her ever upward, ever further, bringing her so close to orgasm, yet somehow forever out of reach.
Ginny's eyes opened and the dorm room was gone. The bed underneath had been replaced with the wooden table of Gryffindor in the Great Hall. Everywhere around her the students and teachers were enjoying their dinner. And there she was, Ginny Weasley, naked and moaning, Luna between her legs, her pleasure there for all to see.
Ginny came screaming, her eyes closing again as fell back onto the bed. The climax rushed through her body, pleasure searing every nerve. She didn't know how long it lasted and didn't care. Time had no meaning. For all she knew, her orgasm might have lasted forever and Luna drank from her for the rest of eternity.
Eventually, though, reality came back in the shape of Luna's smiling face next to her. Ginny managed a smile and caressed the pale girl's cheek.
"Wow."
It was not, she knew, the wittiest thing to say, but Luna seemed to understand anyway.
Luna kissed her. "My pleasure."
"So do you want me to...?"
"Now?" said Luna. "I think you should rest. But I'll be here when you feel up to it."
Ginny stretched herself lazily. "Luna?"
"Mmm?"
"When I... I mean, just before I... you know... I had a... vision. Sort of. Maybe not a vision. Maybe it was more of a..."
"What was it?" Luna asked.
"We were suddenly in the Great Hall. At dinner time. So..."
"And that was just before you...?"
Ginny blushed. "Yeah."
Luna smiled and stroked Ginny's hair. "I like being naked," she said. "Seems like you like it just a little bit more."
Ginny smiled weakly. "I think I like this even better," she said. "I think I could stay like this forever."
"No you can't," said Luna. "We still have to show up for detention."
=====
It was later. Ginny stood in front of the door to McGonagall's office. She was terrified, but not as terrified as she would have been if Luna hadn't stood next to her holding her hand. They'd cleaned up eventually, but they were both still naked. The thought occurred to Ginny that they might be insane, but if so, at least it was a pleasant kind of insanity.
Ginny took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Instead of a wrathful McGonagall, Ginny saw Dumbledore sitting behind the desk. She wasn't sure if this was a good sign or a bad one.
The two girls entered the office and sat down in the chairs standing in front of the desk. Ginny tried holding Luna's hand for as long as she could, but she did have to let go and it hurt.
Dumbledore spoke first.
"It seems Minerva was right."
"About what?" Luna asked.
"About the two of you having a very... alternative... interpretation of the official school uniform."
"We're allowed," said Luna.
"Remarkably, you are right," said Dumbledore.
"She is?" said Ginny.
"Of course," said Luna. "I checked the rules."
"Yes," said Dumbledore. "And how thorough you must have been to spot what many have missed."
"We're actually allowed to walk around naked?" Ginny asked.
"Well, the ties are a bit of a question mark, but on the whole, yes, the letter of the rule allows it."
"So does the spirit of the rule," said Luna.
"That will most likely become the heart of a no doubt spirited debate."
"It will?" Ginny said, still not quite feeling up to speed.
"You see, the school rules were drawn up by the founders of Hogwarts," said Dumbledore. "They have never been changed. Added to, yes, but never changed. Many consider them to be almost sacred. And now it turns out one of those rules technically allows students to forget their clothes whenever they feel like it. I wonder how people will react."
"Badly," said Ginny.
"No doubt," said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling with glee. "Screaming headlines on the Daily Prophet, the Ministry of Magic in chaos, scores of angry letters decrying the moral decay of today's youth, not to mention the uproar in our own faculty rooms. I fear it will become terribly difficult to keep a straight face. But in any case, the two of you were fully in your rights. The points Minerva took from your Houses will be restored and, yes, I think you should each have fifteen points for discovering this fascinating little historical fact. Oh, and, naturally, you will not have detention."
"So... we can go now?" Ginny said.
"Yes, yes, you may be on your way," said Dumbledore. "Though, Ms. Lovegood, one more thing if you please."
"Yes?" said Luna.
"Did you know the rule concerning attire was drawn up by Rowena Ravenclaw herself?"
"Of course," said Luna.
"Strange, don't you think?" said Dumbledore. "That such an intelligent woman could leave such obscure ambiguity in a seemingly simple rule."
Luna smiled. "No," she said. "Not really."
