Setting: Settlement 1, Marketplace

It would have been a lie to say she'd slept restfully. Not in a strange house, not even with Charlie a few feet away in his side of the duplex. There were none of the sounds she associated with the Burrow. Birds sang in the distance but it was altogether too quiet. She tossed most of the night, finally waking around 6 a.m. to have breakfast with Hermione and Charlie, both of whom looked like they had slept like babies. Charlie left for the Ark just after breakfast and Hermione had stayed for another hour, catching Ginny up on things around "one" as the other settlement folks referred to their area.
Her own 'fridge' was empty but Hermione had showed her where her datapad listed a month's worth of credits - something that happens to everyone once the datapad "syncs" up on this side of the portal. She didn't have to report to the medical center until tomorrow but Ginny found herself restless once Hermione had taken off for the portal. It figured that Hermione would be in charge of it since it had been her discovery.
There was a wicker basket by the door and Ginny picked it up on her way out, settling it on her arm. She was dressed in jeans and an old Cannon's t-shirt, along with hiking boots that Charlie had insisted she would want to be wearing. Although it had been late when Kingsley showed her around, Ginny knew her way back to the center of the compound so she followed the dirt paths until she came out near the grouping of white tents and carts. Priority number one would be to find tea and something in the cheese family. She brushed her hair back from her face and stopped at the first cart, looking over its wares.

I visited him a few times at the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary and they had some kind of brewing contraption set up, so no, I wouldn't put it past anyone to do that if there wasn't any other supply of it. Admit it, even you were willing to give away your last credit for a shot of Scotch."
"It is hard to believe. Yesterday, I was hunting up my scarf and today I'm thinking about how nice it will be not to have to wear a robe at work," she admitted, nodding in agreement. The crowds were still all around but they were beginning to thin out a bit. "That would be nice, wouldn't it? Someplace you could try the new foods, too."

It wasn't butterbeer, but he figured this way he'd at least have something to offer Ginny if she actually did let him cook her dinner sometime.
Looking up and across the way, he quickly bought a jug of that cabbage-grape's juice as well and then rejoined Ginny at the Scotch tent.

A shot or two would keep the portal nightmare from coming back tonight. And sleeping on Charlie's couch. Just for tonight. Ginny flashed a smile as she looked over to Adrian and she opened her mouth to speak but her datapad beeped.
"Message from Charlie. Oh! He wants me to come out to the Ark," she exclaimed happily. Her expression softened and she quickly tapped a few keys on the datapad and then his beeped. "There, I sent you my address. Or you can find me at the med center. I'm so glad I ran into you. This place feels just a little less... weird now."
