Authors' notes: Thank you minnow_53 for the beta.
Fighting back tears, Ginny walks slowly around the lake. She only has a few hours until the Hogwarts train returns them to London. The funeral is over and the school is closing. Absently-mindedly, she wonders if she'll get a chance to finish her education at Hogwarts, or under the tutelage of her mum.
As she walks, Ginny hears Harry's voice repeatedly in her head, telling her that he wants to protect her. That he loves her and only left her behind because he cares for her too much.
She wants to believe it. It is a noble reason and she should be happy she found such a brave, altruistic young man to fall in love with.
And then she thinks about another altruistic man: Remus Lupin, and how she and Hermione have talked about the fact that Tonks is a fool to believe all that bullshit from him. It’s obvious that Remus isn't interested in Tonks at all, and only caved in, temporarily, to shut her and the other women up.
I'll be just like Tonks: old beyond my years, pining for a bloke who only wants to pursue his ideals. And foolishly believing any platitudes he sends my way. It is a sobering thought, which makes her control crumble. She bursts out crying and sits down at the margin of the lake.
Covering her face with her hands, she doesn't see Luna sitting a little to the side, bare feet in the water, watching her curiously.
