A/N: Hello again! I come back with a little drabble. I suppose this sort of contains a ship, I personally have found this ship enjoyable in the past even if I don't actually ship it all that hard, it's quite cute in my opinion. So yes, you could say they are together.

This was written for Round 5 of the Houses Competition, I acted as a reserve again.

Prompt: Camping [Activity]

Word Count: 645

Mini Summary: Luna understands completely why Ginny doesn't fully enjoy camping.

"Come on! I've found the perfect spot!" The blonde haired girl called, making sure she was waving with extra force so she could be seen. After all, there were plenty of trees in between them both by this point.

Luna was referring to this perfect open space amongst the forest that she had just found while trying to decipher if this was actually going to work or not. She was rather fond of the word "decipher"...

Putting that thought out of her mind, Luna glanced around again while Ginny came up to her. It seemed that the trees around them were fully in bloom and quite healthy, which was comforting. Seeing harmed or dead trees was always such a sad sight. The clearing was very green and so full of good grasses that it felt magical in it's own little way.

"Is this it, Luna?" Ginny leaned against her shoulder as she too admired the view. "It's quite a nice patch."

"Yes."

She moved over to kneel down by the ground, and putting her head against it, nodded again. "There's nothing horrible coming. We're safe."

The redhead standing over her chuckled and pulled her back to standing. Soon enough, they were setting up their tent. Luna went to cast a few safety spells around the area even if the concept seemed a little out of whack. Why would they need safety spells if there weren't people out there looking for them? This wasn't still taking place four years ago where that would have been a reality - but it comforted her. She didn't quite have the words to describe why it comforted her, but it did.

Ginny would never ask such questions anyways. This was a trip for them. The two of them were supposed to be enjoying their time alone and away from the rest of the world.

Later that evening, Luna found herself sitting against the back of the tent, staring into the sky as the sun set. She found a sort of peace within herself at the prospect of getting to be this way for a few days. It was so out of character for Ginny to want to leave the comforts of home that she knew she had to make it good for the other girl. While neither of them had been huge on camping in childhood, Luna took a certain comfort with the outdoor world that Ginny didn't have.

"Luna?" Ginny came and sat down beside her having appeared suddenly out of the blue.

"Yes?"

"Nothing. Just...making sure you were still awake." There was a soft shrug added at the end of the sentence. "What are we going to do for three days?"

"I have all of these wonderful things planned and yet you sit here still doubting me."

"I want to make sure you are certain on your choices. I mean, this is the outside world, Luna, it does do unexpected things."

"Why are you so scared?" She turned to look at the other. "What got into your head that has made you like this? We're going to be fine, Ginny."

There was a tense silence and Ginny gave a sigh. She clearly wasn't sure herself what was wrong. Luna wanted to know so she could make it better and not have this be an awful trip.

"I've been scared of camping ever since… ever since… ever since I didn't think my own brother would come home from that... It was so long ago, Luna, yet I can't get the fear out of my head that this is how it's going to be for anyone who goes away. That they'll simply be taken away."

Since Luna had already suspected such a fear, all she could do was sigh a little and wrap an arm around Ginny.

"I'll make this okay. I'll make it better. I promise."

And she did.
