Ginny squinted suspiciously at the bottle Luna had set down upon the tabletop. "If you don't mind me asking, Luna, what the hell is that?"
"Calcium pills," was Luna's ever-serene answer, accompanied as always by a crooked sort of grin. "They're non-magical, but they should help with your broken ankle--calcium's good for the bones."
"Non-magical? What, so that's a muggle medicine of sorts?" Ginny frowned slightly, eyes slitting. "Why do I need muggle medicine? Can't Madame Pomfrey fix this thing, for heavens' sake? She can heal anything, I'm certain of that."
Luna hefted a sigh, closing her eyes as if summoning up enough patience to deal with Ginny's snappish irritability. "These are Death Eater inflicted wounds, Ginny. I don't suppose you've heard the incantation your attacker uttered when he hexed you into this position? It's a cursed wound--healing spells or potions won't have any effect. It'll have to heal naturally, but I'm quite certain that these non-magical pills can help speed the process. Non-magical folk are unappreciated, and Death Eaters so easily overlook their few strengths."
"I don't like it. It's not reliable. How are you sure that this thing would help? And since when have you been an expert on muggle-related items like these?" the redhead scowled, crossing her arms in the most defiant and dignified posture she could manage while wrapped up like a mummy in the sheets of her hospital bed. "Did you take Muggle Studies as one of your exploratories? I never remembered that. And I very much doubt that they'd ever taught students about these types of--"
The young woman was cut off very suddenly by a uncharacteristically fierce kiss. Luna's lips were pressed more heavily than usual against Ginny's, her tongue pushing into Ginny's mouth to flick at Ginny's own in a rare display of dominance. Needless to say, Ginny Weasley was very much surprised at this vicious--but certainly not unappreciated--attack. Luna was seldom, if ever, as commanding as she was acting right now.
And just as swiftly Luna's weight was gone and Ginny blinked, moaning softly in deprivation. The blonde Ravenclaw merely shrugged a shoulder, but cupped one of Ginny's cheeks affectionately. "I love you. Now please shut up."
Ginny accepted the muggle medicine without further question.
