This is part 8 of An Ounce of Prevention, a Naruto/Harry Potter crossover that I started as a giftfic for [livejournal.com profile] askerian.

Technically, it's an insertion of one HP character/plot device into the Naruto world, but that does count as a crossover of sorts. "An Ounce of Prevention" will not affect canon in either series; that is, it takes place during the Naruto timeskip, and significantly before CoS in HP.

An Ounce of Prevention, chapter 8 )

Back in real life, I am actually going to get a vacation this year! In mid-August, I will fly out to the Twin Cities. Vicky will meet me there, and we'll drive up to Cass Lake and spend some time on the island. I didn't get there at all last year, so this will be lovely. It's also a vacation -- a time to relax -- instead of a trip for a specific purpose.

I will get to go swimming. I will get to drive the boat. I will get to go hiking. I will get to be appallingly lazy for a couple days, should I be so inclined. (But only a couple days; I suspect Vicky will want to Do Things at least part of the time.) I will get to fill hummingbird feeders and leave peanuts out for chipmunks. I will get to refamiliarize myself with the scent and sticky-tacky feel of bug spray drying on my skin. I will get to watch the sun rise over three miles of open water. I will get to watch light filter down through a forest's worth of trees. I may get to fight whitecaps and howling winds, if the weather is unfavorable, or go waterskiing if it's calm. (Or at least drive the boat while Vicky waterskiis; she's more into that than I am.) I will get to say hi to the other people along the east shore, and maybe hike down to Unistar and see the latest crop of UU campers.

God, I miss the island.
