A/N: This is for hpshipweeks, 2016! I have so many other hinny one-shots that I’ve been working on since last year… and then I decided to start something completely new? Why do I do this to myself? I was originally going to make 27 full chapters of HBP missing moments, but I have a 3 month old and very limited time, so, here are twenty-two very short missing moments from Ginny’s POV. All mistakes are entirely my own. Enjoy.

Available on FFN & ao3.

I. (All Year Four)

Watching him is fascinating… until he falls for Cho and her pretty smile and perfect hair and swear to Merlin shit Seeking. Then it’s just a train wreck. While he bumbles about, making a beautiful fool of himself, Ginny feels sick all the time. She catches him with a faraway look in his eye one dismal afternoon in the common room, and her stomach twists itself so tightly she can scarcely move, because she knows who he is thinking of, day dreaming of, and it is not her.

II. (When Everyone but Harry Knows)

She isn’t aware of it at first. After all, she’s given up hope, or so she tells herself (over and over and over again). She has Dean now, the most attentive boyfriend she could have ever asked for- did she ask for this? Blimey, what a pain in the arse. But then there is a loud chortle at her side, and Demelza digs her elbow into Ginny’s, almost knocking her face first into her porridge.

Ginny checks the tips of her hair for food, then looks up at her friend with a sleepy glare. “What the hell?”

Demelza is grinning ear to ear and whispers, “Harry Potter is staring you down.”

She is suddenly wide awake. “What?”

Sure enough, when she whips her head around like an idiot and finally spots him several seats over, he’s hastily looking away from her general vicinity. Her heart launches up into her throat.

“He wants to get in your pants.”

They roar with laughter, Ginny’s face pink as she protests, “Demelza!”

This person is talking about the final fic in my HP Eighth Year trilogy. My response (which wouldn’t fit on my little iPhone 5 screen to capture it):

Hello and thank you! Right now I’m not really working on anything, unfortunately [psst, Sherlollians–I am writing for Sherlolly week!] … job/major lifestyle change and I’m having trouble adapting and finding time to write. At any rate, the last section of In Love and War and The One Where Mary Gets Involved will both be finished first, so the “school-year fic” is way, way down the line … next year at least, quite possibly 2019. (I know, I know, I’m slow!!)

Not sure I can say any more about it than I already have (although I do lose track of what I say where, so you may not have seen all this info): in addition to what you said, it will be a combination Hinny/Romione with Bill, Charlie, and Percy as the Wealey POV characters and run from September 1, 1998 to the day the girls leave Hogwarts (sometime in June or July 1999). Couple-y stuff with Hinny, couple-y stuff with Romione, Ginny & Hermione friendship (and Luna), more of George’s struggle with grief, Weasley boys stuff with the oldest three and various combinations of them with George and/or Ron, and continue some of the conflicts set up in FSWC and ILW, like Harry telling Ginny about being a Horcrux and Hermione rebuilding her relationship with her parents. I may even get ambitious and add in some Auror cases.

Hope that helps!
