Harry laughed softly. "Should I leave you to your view, then?" he joked. She seemed completely enamored. He stood and dusted himself off before looking around.

"No you don't have to do that." She looked down at him. "You know... from all the way up here... you are very short." She said smiling. "Extremely short." She added as a just because thing.

"Well, savor it while you can. As soon as your feet touch the ground, you'll go back to being short and won't have anyone over 12 to tease," he joked. Ginny really wasn't as short as he was making her seem but he had fun with it anyway.

She laughed. "Oh I'm not that short and you know it! I'm sure there's someone who is here that I'm taller then." She said with a nod, then trying to think of someone. "I think Hannah, nope she's taller then me. Susan, Susan is definitely... nope she's also taller. Padma or Parvati! They're both short."

Harry laughed. "All of two people... and they happen to be identical," he said with a laugh. He knew there were more than that and hoped that Ginny wouldn't go about measuring herself next to everyone to find them. She was bold enough to do something like that... He could picture her doing that, although she probably wouldn't.

"Oh so what, two is better then none." She said laughing a little. "Besides... there has to be more that are older then twelve and even my age. But then again I don't go asking people how tall they are and I don't plan on doing it either." She looked down at the ground again. She wanted to get down but didn't want to fall on the log. Not really thinking about it more she jumped. One foot landed on the log and twisted slightly as she landed. She sighed quietly and hoped she didn't hurt it too bad.

Harry laughed at what she said but jumped when she fell. Moving over to her quickly, he knelt beside her. "Are you alright?" he asked her, offering his hand. It was funny how fast he could go from teasing he to being worried because she fell.

She sighed being able to tell that he sounded worried. She normally wouldn't let someone help her but she took his hand and stood up. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said with a small smile. Her smile was somewhat forced because her ankle hurt slightly, but it wasn't totally forced.

Harry shook his head as he helped her up. He knew Ginny didn't like to be fussed over so he quickly changed his tone of voice. "You know, that wouldn't have been as much of a fall if you were taller," he said with a slight smirk. He watched her, though, to make sure that she wasn't just saying that she was ok.

She laughed and rolled her eyes at him. "It's not my fault that I'm short or that the tree is so tall." She said shrugging innocently. She knew she probably shouldn't have jumped. She could've asked him to move the log, but then that would've been her asking for help and she hardly did that. She glanced down at her ankle, just quick enough to see if it was swollen but also quick enough to where he wouldn't notice her looking. At least she hoped.

"Are you sure you're alright?" he asked her. He hadn't noticed her looking at her ankle. He just wrote it off as her looking at the ground. He was just being as protective as he usually was.

She sighed and rolled her eyes. She hated when people got protective or too worried about her. She knew it was because they cared but she still didn't like it. "Harry, I'm fine. Now stop worrying... otherwise you're going to start sounding too much like Ron. And that's a very scary thought, I only can stand six brothers." She said with a small smile. "Do you have your wand with you?"

"Yeah," he said, pulling it out of his back pocket and thinking about how Moody told him he'd lose a buttock that way. Of course, he never stopped putting it there but he thought about it every time. "Why?" he asked her. "Don't you have yours?"
Harry had taken to carrying his at all times as he thought everyone should in times of war... although it would explain why she hadn't used it to move the log instead of dragging it.

She shook her head, feeling foolish for not having it. "No, I left it in the room." She admitted with a shrug. "I forgot to grab it before I left. I blame that on Fred and George." She said remembering how they found it funny to try and prank her as she was leaving. The reason she was flustered before she had even left her room this morning.
She then took his wand and knelt down. She said a spell to heal her ankle and smiled as the pain instantly went away and the swelling was gone. She stood back up and handed him his wand back. "Thanks." She said smiling a little more.

Harry nodded and took his wand back from her, placing it back in his pocket and smiling yet again at the thought of Moody... and then Tonks' sarcastic remarks. Well, he would never doubt that Ginny could take care of herself. The girl was one of the most powerful witches in Hogwarts, that he knew of. She was dangerous with a wand. "Well... what are you planning on doing today?" he asked her as if there was anything else for them to do but wander the island.
