Title: Chocolate Frogs and Glowing Pumpkins Pairing: Ginny/Luna Rating: G Summary: Luna and Ginny spend Halloween in the Room of Requirement.
Once, twice, thrice, they go. Around, around, carefully, carefully. It is a dance, in a way. The timing must be impeccable. A tiptoe here, another there, and then a quick dip behind a statue, all in a swish of black robes as they dart between shadows.
They must not be seen here. Some of the tension lifts as they lock themselves safely in the Room of Requirement and they can look at each other, and laugh.
"We must be mad," Ginny says, but she is laughing and she is smiling. She hasn't done so much of that.
Luna pulls from the pocket of her robe the pumpkins, small but bewitched to glow, and the candy. She presses one into Ginny's hand.
"It's lovely," Ginny says. "I thought of candles at first, but they seemed too plain." She sits cross-legged on the floor and arranges the rest in a circle. "There is one for everyone."
Ginny's smile fades some, but Luna shakes her head. "We have to celebrate for them, until next year. They'll be here to celebrate with us then."
Ginny nods then, slowly. Luna takes her hand and they eat chocolate frogs in the glow of the pumpkins.
