The camping trip had been great so far. Harry and Ginny have been enjoying themselves immensely. They busied themselves during the day with easy hikes over the Scottish countryside, with frequent breaks for Harry, picnic style lunches, and long conversations. Harry and Ginny reconnected as they laughed and carried on like a couple of lovesick teenagers who hadn't seen each other in months. They snogged in broad daylight on their picnic blanket and made love to each other under the stars. They chased each other through the meadows and play fought around the campfire. This holiday was long overdue and was exactly what they both needed. Harry loved hearing his wife laugh and giggle and got to hear it extremely often. Ginny loved making Harry feel wanted and needed despite the problem with his leg. They both were having the time of their lives. Once the sun had set, Harry would build a fire using the muggle method, which Ginny found quite interesting. She asked him why he used the muggle method when using magic would be easier and faster. Harry told her after resting at home not doing much of anything for the past couple of weeks, it gave him a sense of satisfaction to be able to build a good fire just using his two hands. Ginny just left him to it. Dinner was always an adventure and Ginny came up with some great on the spot recipes that Harry genuinely enjoyed. She made sure to make note of a couple of them to make at home for him.
