Read and review! It gives me life.
Ginny sighed heavily, stressed out. Her family had just left. She knew they were her family because Luna said they were and she remembered their faces, but she didn't remember them. Every time they came back, they wanted her to remember, but she just couldn't. It wasn't like she wasn't trying. She wanted to remember them as badly as they wanted her to.
Now, Luna was going to take her out of the hospital. She was taking a leave to help Ginny, and Ginny knew that was important. She knew she was important to this woman, for how she acted. But, for all she knew, Luna treated all of her patients the same. Scowling, she trotted out into the hall, determined to find out.
"You need something, Ginny?"
"Nope." She grinned at Healer Fabin. Ginny was a restless spirit and the Healers had gotten used to her being up and wandering around. She peeked into the rooms as she walked, waiting to find Healer Lovegood. Finally, she did, discovering her talking to a small child. Ducking behind an alcove, Ginny peeked out to watch, grinning at a nurse who winked as she passed, shaking her head.
Several people passed Ginny, all shaking their heads at her antics as she snuck about for a while, watching Luna interact with her patients.
"What are you doing?" an amused voice asked. Ginny knew that voice. She turned, smiling at Nurse Jones.
"Watching Healer Luna, what are you doing?"
"Watching you." the matronly woman chuckled, ducking into the alcove with Ginny, "what are we watching her for?"
"I think I might be special to her." Ginny frowned, "or she is supposed to be special to me. I don't know, so, I'm watching her to find out how she treats her other patients."
"Oh, well, that makes sense." Nurse Jones said, voice highly amused.
"If you're both quite done, you're welcome to join me for lunch." Luna said as she passed, frightening both. "Ginny, you've been following me all day and not eaten a bite."
"Busted." Nurse Jones chuckled. Ginny wrinkled her nose and lifted her chin, strolling dramatically behind Luna with huge steps and swinging her arms. She always wore a too white, too started hospital robe and Luna always wore her too green Healer robes. They made quite the sight and gave several people genuine smiles as they made their way down the halls toward the lunchroom with Nurse Jones following. "Are you enjoying yourself, Miss Ginny?"
"Yep."
"That's all that matters." Luna giggled, shaking her head and smiling at a laughing child in passing. "Ginny, why were you following me?"
"No reason," Ginny lied, pulling a face at a child with dragon pox who giggled at her as she strolled around a corner, "why are you so nice?"
"I am the same way I've always been, for the most part." Luna replied, choosing a seat and sitting down. It was how she said it and Ginny knew it was supposed to mean something, she just didn't know what. Nurse Jones had drifted off and now it was just the two of them. Ginny sighed, placing a hand on Luna's.
"I'm really sorry that I don't remember you, Luna." she said quietly, making sure there was plenty of honesty in her voice, "I'm sure that I'm supposed to, I just...I'm sorry. You're a very nice lady." Luna smiled sweetly back, patting her hand,
"thank you, Ginny." she replied, a house elf bringing them some soup, "now, eat. We've a very busy day once my shift is over."
Ginny sighed, nodding.
"Excuse me," a young man said, stepping up to the table. Ginny looked up, "you're Ginny Weasley, aren't you?"
"That's what they tell me." Ginny grinned, nodding. She just waited. The boy pulled a magazine out of his robes and handed it to her.
"Will you sign this for me?"
"Oh sure." Ginny nodded, frowning at the cover. There was a picture of herself and it was a Quidditch Weekly. Across the top it said HOLYHEAD HARPIES HOTTEST STAR in silver flashing letters. Her photo self looked fierce, flying head on into the camera before pulling up to a stop and winking, Quaffle under her arm. Ginny signed it and he scampered off. She grinned and looked at Luna, "I must have been a ham."
"You're still a ham." Luna rolled her eyes.
AN2: Sorry for the short chapter. Question! Can you tell that I normally a Ginny basher? I'm curious but, see, my gf is a redhead with a bad attitude and I'm sorta writing her into Ginny's place I think. I didn't do it on purpose.
