"Ginny, are you up? It's me... Harry!"

At the door of the tent that Ron had just visited last night, Harry cautiously shouted again. This was not the first thing he shouted. It was just a few soft calls in a row, but it didn't get him anything.

The response made Harry feel somewhat uneasy.

Obviously, if he was not on a mission at the moment, he would definitely not be so nervous and in a dilemma.

But just because he still doesn't have the confidence to convince Ginny to open her heart, that's why he is hesitant and uneasy like this.

Yes, although Lockhart had indeed given him some advice that at least sounded reliable, when it came time to put it into practice, he began to worry again.

"Ginny"

After calling a few more times and finding that there was still no movement in the tent, Harry could only tell himself that he would come back later. But when he turned to face the sun that had just risen in the east, he sighed slightly.

, he suddenly heard a series of shuffling footsteps behind him.

"Ginny?"

Suddenly, Harry turned around and saw the curtain at the tent door being lifted open, revealing a familiar light golden color.

"Oh, uh...Luna?"

Although the long golden hair looked a bit dazzling in the morning sun, Harry quickly identified whose head was peeking out from behind the curtain.

"Harry?"

Luna rubbed her sore eyes vigorously, and after yawning, she narrowed her eyes and said:

"Good morning...is it time for breakfast?"

"Breakfast?" Harry was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Ah! Yes, I think it will be soon... Luna, is Ginny in there? Has she gotten up yet?"

"Well?"

After hearing this, Luna scratched her forehead in a daze, turned around and glanced inside the tent, then turned around and said:

"She's gone... Well, it seems that she either got up early or didn't sleep at all. Oh, but at least she came back last night, because I was still talking to her before I fell asleep.

She’s chatting!”

"Really? Thanks!"

Although Luna's answer sounded a little off-kilter, it at least made Harry understand one thing. Ginny was obviously no longer in the tent.

"Well... then I'll leave first. I'll see you in the open space later!"

After saying that, Harry seemed to turn around and leave, but before he could take more than two steps, he heard Luna behind him speak again.

"Wait a minute," she said loudly, looking at Harry's back, "if there is pudding for breakfast today, save one for me! Last night's pudding was snatched away in the blink of an eye, and I almost cried...

…I mean it!”

"Well"

Harry paused, turned around and nodded, somewhat speechless.

"I know, I will save it for you...I mean, if there is pudding again today!"

"Oh! It's great to have you as a friend!" Upon hearing this, Luna clapped her hands happily and said, "By the way, if you want to find Ginny, I suggest you go directly to the breakfast distribution point over there in the clearing!"

"Where to go?" Harry couldn't help scratching his head and said hesitantly, "But, I just came from the bonfire?"

…

It turns out that Luna's suggestion was correct.

Even if Harry did leave from the clearing in the first place, it's impossible to guarantee that the two of them wouldn't go astray, right?

When Harry hurried back to the center of the camp and took a look, he saw Ginny preparing part of today's breakfast with Hermione, Ron, Hannah...and Alice, the girl Maka had just brought back yesterday.

But even with Harry's slowness, he immediately noticed that every movement of Ron seemed to be a little stiff?

Of course, he has to be aware of it, and he actually doesn't have the time to care about others now. Because right now, his own actions are not much "softer" than Ron!

After being stunned for a moment, Harry rolled up his sleeves, took out his wand, and joined in the work of processing the ingredients.

Speaking of which, every meal in the camp actually consists of two parts. One part is brought by a team to the nearby wizard restaurant, which they ordered after leaving the London fog; and the other part is

The camp prepares the ingredients themselves.

In this way, not only can the camp be maintained for a longer period of time by saving expenses, but it can also provide more work for some people.

After all, the refugees in the camp are currently just waiting in place, and accidents are easy to happen if they are left idle for a long time. A plan like this that forces people to do something can actually make the camp much more stable.

It can be seen that after Harry also joined in, several other refugees who usually couldn't sit around soon arrived here early and joined in together.

"Ron, go to the back and get the sesame seeds."

Watching Hermione order Ron around, although it was basically like this on weekdays, today Harry always felt that Hermione was a little more serious.

On the other hand, Ron, who was being manipulated, seemed to be very happy and followed Hermione's instructions very diligently.

After Ron finally ran back quickly from behind and put a bag of sesame seeds in Hermione's hand, he looked at Ron who came to him and asked:

"You...Ron, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel so stiff when you walk?"

"Have it?

After Harry mentioned this, Ron seemed to realize that his appearance just now might be very conspicuous, but he could only let it go.

"Okay..." He thought for a while, then suddenly changed his words, "Harry, have you gone to talk to Ginny?"

After Harry heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment because Ron changed the topic too quickly.

"Ah, not yet," Harry said, "I was planning to go find her this morning, but when I went to her tent just now, Luna was the only one there."

"Oh," Ron said immediately. "Then why don't you go over now?"

As he was speaking, he paused again, seemingly hesitantly, and then said apologetically:

"Harry, I'm sorry to say that...I also went to see Ginny last night, and...well, I messed up a little bit and made her a little angry."

Facing Ron's apology, Harry was obviously very confused. After he stood there and calmed down the matter, he immediately shook his head.

"I think it should be fine... Ginny won't get angry easily. I think she should have calmed down by now."

He said this, but he suddenly didn't dare to go there.
