#ginnyxharry

This is what I was talking about in this post

She had an crush on the boy who lived but fell in love with Harry Potter himself.

Many say she's perfect for Harry ( which is true) but people forget how perfect Harry is for Ginny. Do you agree?

Notes from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 

I read the sixth Harry Potter book in Edinburgh, including in the Elephant House café, where J.K. Rowling wrote much of the first two books, and I carried it with me up Arthur’s Seat, where the wind caught at my hair and the sun came out just long enough. I finished it after watching the sun rise from within Stonehenge, just after my train pulled into London from Salisbury.

“he killed enough people to make an army of them, of course”—it does not get stated enough that Voldemort once had a zombie army

Luna’s “It was like having friends”—Neville learned “loads” from Harry—it gave them all what they needed, including the Trio

Harry’s love potion smells like treacle tart, broomsticks, and something he smelled at the Burrow (just want to say in support of headcanon bi-Harry that in addition to Ginny, these could all also smell like Bill Weasley)

Harry’s only correspondent is dead and Lupin isn’t writing back 😭

good friends don’t laugh at each other when they know it’s important—Ron at the Malfoy thing, Harry at Ron strutting for Lavender

I sometimes forget that I was on Hermione’s side with the trying out spells from the potions book thing mainly because Harry was trying out the spells on random people in the hallways and dormitory

there’s a Hogwarts scholarship program for Tom Riddle? This made me wonder whether the Weasleys turned it down or whether they somehow don’t qualify?

Harry is never jealous of HermionexRon, just worried about whether it will hurt their friendship

I really enjoy in this book Ron’s increasing awe and respect for Luna

I’m really into GinnyxHarry, but once upon a time (first 4th book read-through), I shipped LunaxHarry, and all I’m saying is even up to this point, I could still see it happening—although I do also appreciate that Harry has so many legit female friendships

I forgot that Felix Felicis literally manages to break up both Lavender and Ron and Ginny and Dean

I love GinnyxHarry so much, from Harry getting hit by bludgers watching her play to him calling her the “life and soul of the team” to her absolute fierceness to their excellent first kiss

Hermione being rightly insulted that Harry doesn’t think the Half-Blood Prince could be a girl

Can “aguamenti” only work into a bowl? Could Harry not have used that spell straight into Dumbledore’s mouth?

Malfoy as smarter than people give him credit for, failed on purpose, as afraid, as secretly wanting Dumbledore’s approval, his voice trembling when he hears that someone has died

Dumbledore being awesome: “You care about me saying ‘mudblood’ when I’m about to kill you.” “Yes, I do.”

we don’t talk enough about the fact that Fenrir Greyback eats children when he’s not in the form of a wolf

never forget that Snape could have just left but takes a second to turn around and make Harry feel awful and light Hagrid’s hut on fire

Harry could have taken the Felix with him but he gave it to Ginny, Luna, Neville, Ron, and Hermione, and it saved all of their lives

love, love, love that the way that all of the professors argue about the school staying open vs. closing is in line with their Houses—Sprout says “if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil”—McGonagall worried about the stain on history and the failure—Slughorn says that parents will want to protect their own

Ginny: What?

Harry: Where-are-my-auror-robes?

Ginny: I, uh, put them away.

Harry: Where?

Ginny: Why do you need to know?

Harry: I need them!

Ginny: Uh-uh! Don’t you think about running off doing no derrin'-do. We've been planning this dinner for two months!

Harry: The public is in danger!

Ginny: My EVENING is in danger!

Harry: You tell me where my robes are, woman! We are talking about the greater good!

Ginny: 'Greater good?' I am your wife! I'm the greatest *good* you are ever gonna get!

Harry: *sigh*

I believe that Harry and Ginny fight harder than Hermione and Ron do. Let me explain. Hermione and Ron argue whereas Harry and Ginny fight. Even though Hermione and Ron do it it more, when they fight, albeit occasionally, oh my god. It lasts days. There’s a lot of anger and tears, too. And don’t get me wrong, Ron and Hermione do fight like this but they bicker more, so it waters it down.

The main reason I think it’d be harder for Ginny and Harry is because they are both stubborn and hot-headed. They also talk without thinking and to hurt. Examples of this were when Harry rowed with Ron in GoF ('Something for you to wear on Tuesday. You might even have a scar now, if you're lucky ... that's what you want, isn't it?) or Seamus in OotP ('If you've got a problem sharing a dormitory with me, go and ask McGonagall if you can be moved ... stop your mummy worrying-- ') or Remus in DH ("I think you're feeling a bit of a daredevil," Harry said, "You fancy stepping into Sirius's shoes--"). It’s clear he has a past of being cruel when angry.

Ginny also has this habit, not only does it run in the Weasley family, but we see it first hand when she’s arguing with Ron ("Just because he's never snogged anyone in his life, just because the best kiss he's ever had is from our Auntie Muriel –"). So put two very stubborn, hot-headed, can-be-cruel people together and feelings are gonna get hurt.

They don’t bicker on small things like Ron and Hermione do, I think most of their fights are on things like Ginny being mad at Harry for buying something too expensive or Harry being mad at Ginny for putting herself in harms way and not letting him protect her (see: room of requirement, deathly hallows). This is why I believe Harry and Ginny must’ve of had a big fight after Deathly Hallows, not immediately but around summertime. And it’d still be an issue later on. The only time I see them fighting over small things is when one of them is in a mood and row gets stirred up. Oh and they’re great at blowing things up, sure the argument started on one thing but now they’re just being mean.

I think their fighting has these common stages.

Stage 1: Unspoken Tension. This is usually from Harry’s side since he isn’t good at communicating and would rather brood. If Ginny is the one mad, then this stage is usually skipped.

Stage 2: Spoken Tension. This stage, usually started by Ginny, happens quickly. Since they swiftly move onto the next one.

Stage 3: Arguing. This is when they are arguing but they’re not out-right rude, they’re more of just laying their cards on the table here. This stage, is again short; like I said they escalate things pretty quickly.

Stage 4: Rowing. This is when it escalated to shouting and such. They’re getting a bit ruder but they’re not cruel yet, and they’re still on the main topic. But you can see their anger building.

Stage 5: Fighting. Definitely shouting. This is when they start saying things they regret, often low blows. They may be close to crying or slightly are. They have definitely lost what the issue was, a bit. Oh and they’re both obviously pissed.

Stage 6: Leaving. Eventually, one of them will say something too harsh or they’ll be called away, so they leave. Depending who initiates this stage, they may go to Ron and Hermione’s house, The Burrow, the Auror Office or Luna’s house.

Stage 7: Reconciliation. This happens awhile after stage 6. They’ve both had time to stew and think clearly without anger getting in the way.

Stage 8: Make Up. See the song Make Up by Ariana Grande. Kidding. But yes this is when they make up, through usually one way but sometimes others.

To be clear, these stages aren’t always in this order, include all of them or happen only once. They might miss some or repeat them. Like it most often goes stage 1, 5, 8, 7 or 4, 6, 7, 8 or maybe even 2, 3, 4, 8, 5, 6, 7. (What do you mean you didn’t memorise the numbers?!)
