    Summary

    'I would like to be seventeen,' Luna said - that slightly dreamy tone of hers, always. Sometimes, all they wanted, back then, was for a moment of peace that never came, for the scared, second-year boy that sat in the corner of the room with his arms wrapped around his knees, to finally stop crying.

    'Here, it's for you,' Luna smiled, dropping the ring into Ginny's palm, a piece of gravel charmed to be mounted like a gemstone. It resembled the face of a horse. 'It's after your Patronus.'

    Ginny nodded, that night, tried to force a smile over her features, something that meant: thank you. She slipped the ring down the fourth finger of her left hand and thought of her Patronus. Thought of Harry, too.

    Summary

    The memory hit him, a white tent seen out her window. Ginny’s lips crashing into his, her body pushing him urgently against the bedroom wall. The shine in her eyes of the tears she didn’t show him, tears she must have dropped afterwards, when Ron opened the door. “My seventeenth.”

     

    She flicked her gaze back to him, shoulders thrust forward. “What of it?”

     

    “When we kissed. When you kissed me. You were saying goodbye.”

    Summary

    'Elbows in, Ginny. Stagger your grip a bit more, and you can make the broom feel what you want from it.'

    Her eyes watered from the speed as she completed the first circuit, cold air expanding her lungs, sparkling exhalations dissipating into the pale morning. A small part of her wondered whether, if she stayed out here long enough, flew enough laps, the pitch might eventually revert to the way she’d seen it last: overgrown and wild, off-limits. Empty.

    A Quidditch story.

    Summary

    The orchard is a wild, thousand-flower, crumpled-gate, fall-down-fence sort of place, where things grow that you never asked for, that you’d never expect. The summer of ’96, the story of something flowery he thought he might have smelled at the Burrow.

     

    Canon-compliant, oneshot, summer between OotP and HBP. Non-linear narrative, flashbacks/flash-forwards to DH. Harry/Ginny.
