Hermione looked up, laugh stopping ubruptly as a very drunk Ginny stumbled out of the fireplace, tripping and landing on her rear. She looked up, eyes red.

"Merlin, Gin!" Ron hurried over, hauling her up and Ginny looked at him curiously, trying to remember.

"Oh I don't give a sod if I do remember." She sighed, hugging Ron who grinned, hugging her back,

"good enough, Gin, good enough." He beamed brightly at Hermione.

"Did- did you know," Ginny slurred, obviously pissed, looking up at him, "that I have a tab at the three broomsticks?"

"I do now." Ron laughed. Ginny nodded, walking sideways a bit with Ron hovering over her as she made her way to the table and flopped down, leering at Draco.

"I think you get on my nerves. I think you know that." He nodded, smirking and she scowled, "I also sink that Hermione is my favorite Weasley. If she washn't, she is now!" She beamed waterly at Hermione, "and I'm a sodding dick."

"What. Did. You. Do?" Hermione demanded coldly as Ginny leaned forward on her arms, drunkenly looking up at her.

"Rona- Ronnnn- Ronal- Ron says your right good at hexes." Ginny pointed a finger at her, "and I don't give a damn! Hex me, I deserve it!"

"I asked you what you did, Ginny Weasley, and you answer me right this instant!" Hermione demanded, "what did you do!"

"I appa- apparrae- I was drunk." Ginny nodded, "and I'm drunk now. And I don't...I did not remember it. Luna. I did not remember. I do not remember. I never remember anysing." She shook her head vigorously, Harry getting up and heading to the kitchens, "in facted, she sinks I did member and I prete- pretended not to! Hex me. Go on."

"Ginny Weasley!" Hermione snapped.

"I tried to kiss...kiss her and she blew her top." Ginny shrugged, "please?"

"Please what?"

"Hex me."

"I'm debating it!" Hermione warned.

"She cried Her-her- you. She bloody CRIED!" Ginny exclaimed dropping her head on her arms. "and she's a sodding angel."

"You're damned right she is." Harry growled, slamming a potion down, "and you're not staying here with Rose that bloody drunk. Drink it." Ginny looked up at the uncorked vial and nodded, slamming it back like a shot and dropping her head again.

"s'not poison." she complained.

"No, it's a sober up." Hermione snapped, "which you need to do."

"No, I need to drink some more." Ginny moaned, holding her head, "bloody hell, I remember how bad those hurt."

"You deserve it." Hermione snapped, "you need to go back and apologize."

"Aunt Ninny? Is that you?" Ginny gasped, head snapping up and brown eyes narrowing in on the smaller version of herself. Her headache slammed and it slammed into her hard, like the bludger that had knocked her down. Hermione was talking to the girl while Ginny stared and Ron stood there looking helpless.

a red headed, screaming mess, passed to Ginny's arms that quieted instantly.

a fluffy pink teddy bear.

Her favorite color was pink.

Ginny gasped again. Harry was saying something to her, he was worried.

First words were Daddy, then Ninny, then mum.

"I love Aunt Ninny the best."

"you're not a bear Gin."

"Oh Fred." Ginny sobbed, choking and gagging, "ROSE!" she leapt up so fast the chair slammed to the floor with a crack, startling everyone and she slid to her knees, scooping the tiny girl into her arms. "Rose! Rose! I remember Rose! I remember everything!" She couldn't have been pried from Rose if she'd been killed and no one tried. Everyone just stood there, shocked and watching. "call George, call mum, I don't care." Ginny breathed, "I remember."

"I told you she'd remember me." Rose snapped, patting Ginny's hair, "I like your new haircut, Aunt Ninny."

"I love you, bugbug." Ginny breathed, "with my whole heart."

"I love you too, Aunt Ninny." Rose grinned, kissing her cheek. Ron was in the floo, despite the late hour, shouting to everyone. Ginny didn't care. She didn't pay attention to a single person until sleepy eyed children wandered up and she had so many hugs to give, remembering when each one was born, and how they loved Aunt Ninny the best.

Then she was up, hugging and kissing each one with proclomations of love, saving George for last.

"I died." she told him, tucked under his chin and looking at the others, "I really died. I went to King's Cross and Fred was waiting for me." Harry stiffened, spinning around, "he told me to tell you he loved you. He loves you and he's watching and- so Merlin help me- he said he'd be there to take each of us on the train but it wasn't my time." George was sobbing and Harry was sobbing and then everyone else was crying. The children began to cry then, confused, and they all had to suck it up for them.

Then, they took them home. Ginny put Rose to bed, reading her a story and promising to come back later. She sat with Rose late into the night and hugged Hermione, the last one standing, before heading for the floo.

"I'd love to stay but-"

"No." Hermione frowned, "I understand. Go make it right. We'll see you when you emerge and I'll let everyone know." Ginny winked, stepping into the floo, head still pounding and vanished in a burst of green flames.

Luna sat on the couch, dozing without a blanket. Ginny sighed, looking at the time, it was three am. Shaking her head, she grabbed a blanket and gently tugged the book free, looking up to see Luna looking accusingly back at her. Startled, Ginny leapt back, looking at the ground as Luna sat up, snarling, and snatched the book, swatting her hard in the arm.

"YOU BLOODY HAD ME WORRIED SICK, GINNY WEASLEY!"

"I'm sorry, Luna." she jumped as Luna swatted her again, "oy!"

"YOU DESERVE IT! I TRIED TO STOP YOU WHEN YOU GOT IN THAT DAMNED FLOO-"

"I didn't see you-"

"I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE ALL NIGHT TRYING NOT TO CALL THE AURORS!"

"I'm a grown-"

"HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?"

"Yes, but I'm sober. Hermione-" Ginny blinked as Luna slammed in to her, hugging her tightly, unsure of what to do. She still didn't remember everything, probably never would, and she still didn't remember the night with Luna. But, she was excited to tell her the news and wondering if she'd get smacked if she spoke. She decided to try it. "Luna, I'm alright and I am sober. I went to the Three Broomsticks and got hammered. Then, i went to Hermione's and tried to..." Ginny paused seeing some of the strawberries were missing in the open box on the table, "and tried to get her to hex me-"

"You're daft." Luna snapped, looking up. She was about to cry again. Ginny groaned, sagging in defeat and ran her hands through her hair, Luna's arms still tightly around her waist.

"Come on, Luna, don't do that."

"You deserve it."

"No one deserves that. Not even Voldemort." Ginny snorted pitifully, "that's awful."

"You're being dramatic." Luna grinned, still holding on to her. Ginny wasn't sure what that meant but was sure as hell not going to find out by asking. She knew better than to risk any wrath and Luna was smiling.

"I wanna talk to you." she took the plunge anyway, "I have a lot to say."

"Me first." Luna tugged at her, sitting to face each other as they had before, only this time, Ginny had her long legs stretched out, slumped into the cushions, head leaned back to look at Luna while she spoke. The girl wiped at her face and actually looked sheepish. "I'm sorry..." she looked around, "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'm sorry I took all that out on you when you don't remember-"

"But, Luna-"

"I'm not finished!" Ginny's mouth snapped shut. "I shoudln't..." Luna sighed heavily, sagging, "I shouldn't have taken that out on you when I had no proof what so ever. It was just... the children we went to school with...it doesn't matter. None of it matters. I really care for you and... and, if you'd like to kiss me, then, yes." She nodded, blushing hotly. She finished quietly, "I'd like you to." Ginny blinked at her, shocked. Heat pooled in her belly, head still pounding hard. Luna risked a hurt glance up, "are...are you going to?" She asked shyly.

"so many times." Ginny breathed, sitting up. She climbed across the short space, coming up on her knees and took Luna's face in her hands. "but let me tell you this, first." Luna winced, "no, love, it's important." Ginny stressed, "I saw Rose. I saw Rose and I remembered. I... I don't remember what happened with you still, there are pieces missing but I remember most everything. I need you to know that." Luna beamed brightly, light shining from within,

"that's bloody amazing!" Ginny tossed her head back, laughing at Luna's harsh language. It was adorable.

"I'm not done." She chuckled, "and I remember the children at school. I remember hexing more than a few, Luna, on your behalf, with my bat bogey. I had a lot of fun doing it. I can tell you that... whatever happened with us, it had shite to do with that. You are not Looney Lovegood. You're Luna Lovegood. You're beautiful and amazing and perfect and I was a sorry sod." she paused, dipping her head to kiss Luna because if she waited another second, her entire brain would burst through her skull. Luna whimpered, pressing her silky lips closer to Ginny's and Ginny gasped, moving her mouth, darting her tongue out to play with Luna's. She didn't give a damn if the strawberries cost six hundred galleons a piece, Luna tasted amazing and she'd happily pay for them.

She was in awe of the tingly feeling Luna's hands gave her, easing through her hair and the heat pooling in her belly. Luna tugged them more tightly together and Ginny gasped as a searing pain went through her skull, wincing.

"What?" Luna whispered, tensing, "what is it? Ginny?"

"My head." Ginny moaned, "the soberup."

"Those are hardly safe." Luna sighed, letting go. Ginny clung to her, "let me up, Gin, I promise I'll make it better, alright?" She stood, going to the kitchen and Ginny stretched out on the couch, watching. She was wearing the sleek white dress again and this time her nipples being hard had shite to do with the chill. Ginny groaned as Luna sat down, "I know it hurts, here, take these."

Ginny snorted, shooting back the potions and stared at Luna's body while she waited for them to take effect. Luna leaned forward and the dress gaped, revealing her breasts, as she took Ginny's wrist in her hand to feel for a pulse.

"Your pulse is racing, Gin. Maybe I should have used a different potion?"

"It's shite to do with the potions," Ginny growled, dragging her eyes up to meet Luna's, taking just long enough to make sure Luna realized she was looking. Luna blushed hotly but made no move to hide them away, fingers tightening on Ginny's wrists. "I absolutely adore that dress." Ginny growled, headache fading away, "I'm going to buy you one in every color."

"I don't like orange." Luna offered, making Ginny laugh, reaching out for her. She tugged the blonde on top of her and Luna was more than willing, stretching out along Ginny's much harder, Quidditch toned body. "you don't need to be having sex, Gin," she whispered, twisting her hips around, "you need to rest."

"Is that a no?" Ginny purred, pausing her reach for Luna's waist. Luna fidgeted again, frowning and chewing her lip. "I'm not going anywhere, Luna. I want you. All of you. All of the time. I can wait, if you want me to or need me to. I'll do it happily. I want you- will you date me? As in long term, all mine, I'm all yours, date me?"

"Yes." Luna frowned, "obviously."

"Obviously." Ginny grinned, dropping her hands, "I won't touch you then, love. If you think I need to rest- do I really have to?"

"Yes." Luna breathed, "yes. You really... have to." She shook her head vigourously, sitting up and Ginny placed her hands behind her head, staring up at Luna adoringly.

"Feel free to just sit there." She grinned. Luna rolled her eyes, looking down at her hands and her hair fell about her face loosely. Ginny sighed, "but, I do have to rest. If I don't get in the bed, with you out of my sight, you're not going to be able to stop me, Luna. Fuck, you're so bloody gorgeous."

"Er... thank you." Luna blushed a little redder, sliding off. Ginny stretched herself out and up, kissing Luna quickly and bidding her goodnight before heading to her bedroom door, knickers and trousers suddenly very uncomfortable. "I suppose, since you're remembering so much, you'll be making breakfast?" Luna asked as she stood in the door. Ginny looked back and winked, nodding,

"you bet. Anything you want." Luna smiled, heading for her own room as Ginny shut the door, peeled her clothes off and flopped into bed.
