Two things!

[Behold Ginny Weasley, the camera enchanted to float in front of her as she broadcasts this from... Her broom? That's right; she's back where she belongs, up in the air and the summer wind pulling at her hair and clothes, face alight in a smile. She looks infinitely better than she did a week ago, that's for certain.]

Firstly, I believe I owe drinks to quite a few people for the madness that was a few weeks ago. The Anonymous people graciously paid me in liquor from my world for helping restore the Hall of the Missing and it's not like I can drink all of it by myself—have you seen me? I'm too small for all that firewhiskey.

Priority goes to all my doctor friends, because I said so.

Secondly, FLYING LESSONS!

[Yes, it's about as loud as capslock.]

I usually offer this earlier in the summer but there's that little matter of a City-wide rebellion and being struck down with a magical plague, so I decided I'd best wait it out until people were a little more available, myself included.

I know I've spoken to a few people about this—Sulu? Stiles?—but it's open to anyone who's interested in brooms and isn't afraid of heights. I've never had anyone fall while I'm in the air with them, so don't worry! It's fun.

And if someone just wants to watch, come along. This is something I love, why not share it in any way I can?

That's all!

[AND OFF SHE ZOOMS, the camera following her for a minute as she speeds around the Quidditch pitch the twins built, corkscrewing and ~soaring, tumbling, freewheeling~ through the air. And it cuts out as she whips past the device.]

[Well, still a little thin around the edges, but there's no mistaking the full colour in her face and how happy she is to be flying again.]

And that's one for Dr Wilson!

[Improvement is improvement - it's a process, and embracing a positive attitude and engaging in normal activity are always good to help it along.]

Firewhiskey is definitely a new one for me, though.

[That, and she's finally unloaded all her war issues on someone after bottling for a year. Good all around.]

It's just got more of a burn to it. Spicy, maybe? I can't really describe it but I thought it'd be fun to share.

[That, he would certainly be happy to know.]

Well, there's no harm in trying something new, right? At least usually.

[When she's cursed. Maybe.]

That's why we're here, isn't it? Apart from being so interesting that we had to get pulled away from home to be collected or something.

Well, it's one way we can make the most of why we're here, since apparently we failed to be boring enough to avoid capture.

I really thought I had that in the bag, honestly.

You're not boring, Dr Wilson!

[He's clearly amused.]

Well, I am very glad for the vote of confidence, though I do sometimes wish the City wasn't as interested in me as it seems to be.

I reckon we both do at this point, but I can't say I entirely hate it with the people I've met over the years.

No, I can't say that I do, either. It's strange how after long enough with the right people, even the most absurd and impossible situations can start to feel like home.

Yeah, when anniversaries start being less and less depressing, you know you've been here too long. Then again, have an anniversary at all's enough of an indication, I think.

Certainly having multiple anniversaries is. But they don't necessarily need to be depressing, they're a sign that you've endured, that you're adapting and surviving, that you're probably capable of more than you thought...

[ sigh ]

Talk like that is definitely an indication.

Talk like that is another reason why you should have some firewhiskey.

[A pause.]

Maybe I should save a bottle for if I'm still here in December.

Well, it never does hurt to plan ahead. Just in case.

It'd be five years, Dr Wilson.

098.
