dittany of secrets | ginny

THE POTTER'S HOME ALWAYS LOOKED LOVELY TO Luna. Even after it had been rebuilt from the ground up, it had a busy little buzz to it that she'd found absolutely divine. Plus, their stove made the very best tea, but that wasn't why was visiting this time around. She'd quite forgotten that this sort of visit was necessary - most of her Christmas break was spent raiding their attic and wrangling the Nargles, whom had bred with a frightening speed over the winter term that Luna hadn't been home.

No, Luna realised a little late that she hadn't seen Ginny since Harry had returned. She quite suspected that Harry had told her of her part in his disappearance - she'd never taken him as a liar, and she didn't resent for doing so. Better that it be in the air, so that they could clear it together. Luna had brought a rather unruly bush of dittany, which she'd pulled from her garden just that morning. It was a plant of healing, something they were all in dire need of. But, Luna had also gone to the trouble of hanging things from it like a miniature Christmas tree.

The fragile branches were hung with sparkling tinsel and little iridescent bells. Candy canes were scattered at the base and every time she walked another fell. It took her a little longer than usual to make her way up the Potter's front path, but she got their eventually. When she arrived, she twisted her wrist and the door popped open on its own. It had been a long time since she'd had to knock, and she didn't even think twice as she stepped inside.

"Ginny?" Her melodious voice filled the echoing foyer and she stopped, peering around her very large, very loud gift. "I'm quite certain you're home," She said softly, setting the tree on the stairs as she peered in to the living room and then the kitchen. "Your chimney's going very enthusiastically." At that she smiled to herself, picturing it like an old man puffing a very large pipe. "I brought some dittany." She added, as if it was quite typical.

JANUARY 2, 2025

It had been four days since Harry had returned to the Potter home after months of being gone and presumed dead. He had explained everything to her, something that Ginny all but demanded from him. He had put her through hell since he left that day, and she was not letting it go. She was quite shocked to learn that Luna, a close friend of the family’s, had been in on this whole thing. Luna had made it clear that she didn’t know anything about his disappearance, no one did—not even Hermione nor Ron—the golden trio (or rather duo) was left in the dark about his leaving. And now, she learned that Luna had known the whole time. While Ginny was a little bitter, she didn’t blame Luna—the girl had merely kept the secret because she had been asked too.

Ginny was doing a bit of laundry in the mudroom just off the back porch and near the kitchen when the sound of the door opening was heard. Was it Harry coming or going? She wasn’t so sure anymore, at least, not until a female voice was heard with the familiar musical tone. “I’m back here Luna, give me a moment!” she called out as her friend seemed to talk about her chimney and just as she finished putting a load in the washer, a load in the dry and had the sheets folding themselves with a bit of magic, she grabbed a little towel and moved towards the kitchen and foyer area, whipping her hands with it. “Did I hear you say dittany?” she questioned with a smile, putting the cloth down and drawing closer to Luna, “It’s lovely to see you Luna,” she said truthfully. Talking to her about the whole Harry situation would likely come after pleasantries, though she didn’t want to ruin this visit. “What brings you by besides dittany?”

IT WASN'T OFTEN THAT LUNA ALLOWED TO FEEL unsure of her own intentions. She always put 100% faith in herself and her decisions, no matter how they may fail or free her. But, lying to Ginny about knowing that Harry was alive had been somewhat difficult. Of course, she'd done it without much question, but it was still a betrayal of sorts. And, she felt like she could finally make up for that now that he had returned in good faith. So that Luna might again trust her word and her judgement, though she may not once she knew of her involvement.

"Yes!" Luna said cheerfully, the basket spilling at the seams. "I'm quite proud of the soil combinations," She added sweetly, reaching over to thumb a delicate leaf. "They've created a formidable plant." It was just as it always was, easy and cheerful, but she saw the dark circles under her friends eyes. The paleness in her cheeks, which were usually flushed and full of life. Though, as always, Ginny was straight to the point. Having lost her memories, one might have thought the young woman would have lost a little of her fire - she had not. Luna didn't doubt that for a moment.

"I thought you might prefer if I came to you," Luna spoke with a nod, her owl eyes blinking as she peered in to her friends face, trying to see past the easy happiness of being in friendly company. "Seeing as Harry has returned, I imagine you're quite busy!" Celebrations a-plenty, the papers had certainly boasted. The return of such an infamous character in wizarding history. Luna had just been happy to speak freely with her friend once again. "I suppose he's told you that I knew?" Luna whispered, her eyes drifting across the foyer, from the polished banister to the row of shoes by the door. "I've come to give you something of an explanation, I suppose..." Her soft tone almost seemed as if she were unsure, but she wasn't. She was very sure indeed.
