Characters: Sam Capper and Ginny Weasley
Setting: Wednesday evening in their dorm, following Fleur's post
Summary: Ginny's gonna need comforting like woah.
Rating: TBD

Sam had been relaxing outside, safe from the post class noise of the crowded common room. Like usual she'd tossed down her journal and let it lay open beside her as she reclined against her tree and smoked, watching the ripples of the lake. When the ward from Ginny popped up she expected a plea for her to come back and snuggle or complaining about something. She didn't expect to see that shaky scrawl spelling out just her name. Reading it caused Sam's stomach to lurch and asking questions didn't help any either.

It only took a few moments for Sam to realise she needed to be upstairs and shoved her things into her bag hastily. She flicked her cigarette away toward the lake and scrabbled in the rocks as she stood and took off running for the castle, flipping her bag over her shoulder as she sprinted up the castle steps.

Sam wasn't built for running and the rush to get all the way to the top of Gryffindor tower wasn't the easiest feet, she slowed down to a walk a couple of times but always fell back into her rush, ignoring the strange looks it earned her. By the time she'd reached the tower she'd already yelled at and threatened a couple of slow moving first years.

"Ginny," Sam burst through the dorm's door and looked around anxiously, eyes glancing between her own bed and her girlfriend's. Before she said another word she rushed to her side and pulled her into her arms, hugging her tightly. "What happened?"

	"I know, baby," Sam rubbed her shoulder, feeling a pang inside over the fact she couldn't do anything for her. "We'll wait and see," she knew they could get Ginny out if they had to but she knew she would either have to go with her or be separated. But if Ginny needed to get out and see Bill she was prepared to do anything to help her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There was a lot riding on Ginny's shoulders this year, it was becoming harder and harder to juggle all the responsibilities she had, especially when all she wanted to do half the time was spend hours in bed with Sam. "Wait and see," Ginny snorted, the words tumbling out of her mouth before she could stop them. "That's all I've been doing this whole year. I've been useless."

"You're not useless," Sam said firmly. "I just meant...if we have to get you out of here, we can." She didn't fault Ginny for her attitude toward the changes in the school, even if they frustrated her. She completely understood how it seemed most appealing to wait and watch, it was certainly a lot more sensible. "You're recruiting. You're organising meetings, Gin. That's not useless."

"I'm not leaving," Ginny responded, her voice just as firm as Sam's, leaving the last word unspoken. She'd never leave Sam, not with the way things were now. "I can't." At the girl's protests, Ginny shook her head. "Sam, all I've done is chase Hopkins away." She sighed and wound her fingers through her hair in frustration. It was difficult for Ginny to admit she'd done wrong and this self doubt didn't come naturally to her, but it had been bubbling under the surface for some time now.

"He was a prat anyway," she said with a shrug. She didn't know much about Hopkins but Ginny was upset and if the bloke had chosen to cut and run on the DA then her assessment couldn't be too far off.

She gave Ginny another squeeze as her tone dropped back down to a serious one and she pressed a kiss to her temple, leaving her lips there while she murmured. "I'd come with you," she didn't want to leave her brother alone in the school, not the way it was, but if it came to Ginny she couldn't just let her go alone.

"Well, yeah," Ginny conceded, waving off Sam's shrug. "Of course he was, but that's not the point. We need everyone we can get and I go running prats off."

At Sam's words, Ginny pulled back slightly and stared at Sam for a moment. "Sammy, I love you." She said, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend. Although Sam had been talking about leaving school since practically second year, Ginny knew she was not only serious about it, but what an important sacrifice she'd be making, leaving Quincy alone. She couldn't find the words to say all that though and instead fell back on a less serious emotion, quirking her lips to the side after a moment and gently stroking Sam's cheek. "You know you just want to get out of school."

	Sam fidgeted slightly while Ginny stared at her, unsure what the other girl might be thinking. When she professed her love Sam relaxed again and returned the hug. She pressed her cheek toward Ginny's hand and linked her free hand with the other girl's. "You know me so well," she said softly, allowing Ginny her displacement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well you are my best friend," Ginny murmured, trying and failing to keep the frown off her face. Although being with Sam made things feel better, made that ache leave her chest, they weren't. Bill and Fleur had still been attacked, Merlin only knew how he was doing and all she could do was whinge about her girlfriend maybe being hurt. "I do know a thing or two about you."

	"And I know a thing or two about you," she muttered, cupping Ginny's face in her hands and kissing her lightly. "Come here," she whispered and pulled the other girl back into her arms, wishing desperately she could erase the trouble expression from her face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Allowing Sam to tug her close, Ginny tucked herself up against her girlfriend. "What am I going to do?" Ginny asked, after a long moment, her voice small and quiet. She couldn't separate herself enough from what Fleur had told her to figure out what to do about Bill, the DA, Harry... everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You don't have to do anything, baby," Sam whispered, resting her face against the top of Ginny's head. "There's nothing we can do now but wait to hear more. And it'll be okay, I know it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ginny hadn't just been talking about Bill, but wanted to believe Sam's words about her brother. "How?" She couldn't stop herself from asking petulantly. Even though she knew she sounded like a child, she couldn't stop herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He's alive," she said gently, lifting her hand to slowly stroke her girlfriend's hair. "You'd know if he wasn't and as long as he's alive, it'll be okay." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Holding Sam tight, Ginny breathed in her scent, for a moment thinking of how she never wanted to do anything but be here, in Sam's arms. "You know," she said, after a long moment. "I love you." She'd said it before and she knew she'd say it again, and yet she still didn't feel like those three words could express how grateful she was to have Sam. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I love you too," Sam promised as she continued to stroke her hair. "And yeah, I sort of knew you did." She pressed a kiss to Ginny's forehead. (Reply to this) (Parent)
