"Are you sure you can walk, it looks pretty bad," Ginny whispered, looking at Hermione's ankle. It was nearly swollen to twice its normal size.

"I have to, don't I?" Hermione asked. "We're nowhere near the camp and I think I broke my wand in the fall. Do you have yours?"

"No," Ginny answered, softly. "Luna didn't have hers and I lent it to her to start the fire. I'm sorry! I thought a girls' camping trip would be fun," Ginny said. Hermione gave her a weak smile.

"I'm fine, Ginny. Here, help me make a splint. I can use some of my jumper to wrap those sticks and immobilize it until we can get back to camp and fix it," Hermione said, putting a hand on Ginny's shoulder. Ginny smiled.

"At least I know how to make a splint," she muttered. "Part of being on a Quidditch team, learn first aid. Heck, if I manage to lose my place, I should be a healer," she added, pulling the yarn tightly. Hermoine winced, but tried to not let Ginny see how much pain she was in.

"Ready?" Ginny asked. Hermione nodded, allowing Ginny to help her to her foot. She leaned on Ginny as the pair headed back to camp. Before they even made it to the site, they could see smoke billowing in the air. Hermione stopped causing Ginny to pause. Both of them looked up at the large cloud of smoke.

"Looks like Luna got the fire going," Hermione commented, mainly saying anything to keep her mind off her ankle. She was pretty sure it wasn't broken at least.

"Pretty big fire," Ginny replied. "You don't think..."

"Something happened?" Hermione finished, her eyes meeting Ginny's. Ginny nodded, her entire face showing panic. Despite the fact neither of them would admit to it, Hermione was fairly certain Ginny and Luna were in love with each other. She wondered if she'd only been invited on this camping trip as an excuse for them not to be alone together. Then they'd have to confront how they actually felt.

"Go," she insisted. "I'll stay here, I'd only slow you down. Go make sure she's alright," Hermione insisted. Ginny shook her head.

"But it could be dangerous out here, alone."

"Ginny, Luna might need you. I can sit on that rock and be fine," Hermione stated. Ginny nodded and took off running towards the campsite. Hermione shook her head, sat down on the aforementioned rock and waited.

She had counted three owls, twenty-one sparrows, a handful of squirrels, three random birds she couldn't identify, a dragon, and one very fat brown rabbit before Ginny finally returned. Luna was following her, a slightly worried expression on her face. Hermione couldn't help but notice both of their clothes were more than a bit rumpled.

"Everything alright then?" she asked. Ginny nodded, pulled out her wand and quickly healed Hermione's sprained ankle.

"There you go. It wasn't broken," Ginny stated. Hermione nodded, rubbing her ankle through the split. It would still take a moment for the pain to reside.

"I got a little carried away with the fire spell," Luna said. "I thought if I made a big enough one, it would show the name of my true love in the smoke."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"And did it?"

"Yes," Luna said, giving Ginny a huge smile. Ginny returned it. Hermione just shook head, undid the make shift splint and headed back to camp with her friends. She had a feeling she was about to become the third wheel on this trip, but seeing Ginny and Luna happy more than made up for that.
