[rs=2] | we all know the story of ginny potter, the youngest weasley and the only girl born in the family in generations. we also know that ginny has been in love with harry pretty much since she saw him, although it has matured from a childish crush to teenage infatuation to mutual respect, and finally to marital bliss. even up to now, how many years and three children later, ginny still loves harry. she even sometimes feels like she returned to her seventeen year old self when she serves him his dinner, late after a particularly long day at work. she never takes him for granted, and she's always thanking the stars and whatever higher being there was that harry returned to her, safe, though not always unbruised. but all that ever matters is that he's back, he's alive, and ginny can finally breathe a sigh of relief and she can touch him as proof that he hasn't left her yet. it's not that she's clingy. nor is she jealous or distrustful. she has just gone through so much in her life in regards to him - from her teenage years of confused signs, to him leaving her to do his whole hero thing, to his dangerous job and the risks it had - that when she goes to sleep at night, she likes being able to feel him there. she finds it a little harder to sleep when the bed is cold and empty and there's no warm harry body beside her. it's another reason why she always tries to solve any problems or issues between them before they go to bed, so that there is no excuse that she go to bed alone. and really, who wants to toss and turn in bed thinking about problems, right before they go to sleep? who can relax that way? their relationship has always been one of respect and love. she would never look at another man the same way she looks at harry - never has, in fact, despite her various boyfriends while in hogwarts. her love for harry has then passed on to her children, who she also loves dearly. she likes having three - not too little, not too many - and she tries her best to spend as much time with them as possible. she's not incredibly strict with them, but not incredibly lax, either. she believes in a healthy balance - if she shows them love and respect, they'll show her love and respect. of course, like any other family, they have their moments, but ginny always tries to not hold a grudge against her children's mistakes or wrongdoings. ginny tries not to hold grudges, period. however, there are instances where it can't be helped. she has forgiven draco malfoy some, because she's seen scorpius around and she prides herself in being a good judge of character and if roxanne trusts scorpius enough, then by golly, scorpius is not the draco malfoy of ginny's time. she will, however, not be able to have a change of mind on lucius malfoy, even if his actions in the war showed that he was only looking out for his family. she has marginal respect for narcissa malfoy because ginny knows she saved harry's life, and it was really through narcissa that the war was won, but never will she trust or even marginally like lucius, and she's sure that lucius feels the same way about her and her family. she's always encouraged her children to make themselves. she knows about living in shadows. she understands ron and how he felt when his best friend was one of the most famous wizards alive. she herself knows that she could hardly compete with hermione if she wanted to. so she understands what her children might be going through, what pressures they are facing, as the children of the wizarding hero, and she always tries to encourage them to become their own persons. this is the case especially with albus, who always seemed to want to grow up faster than either james or lily at his age. he's always wanted to be independent, always wanted to be his own boy (and lately, man), and ginny let him stand on his own two feet, all the while trying to show him that she and harry are always there to catch him if he stumbles. she doesn't exactly know what he gets up to in school, but she does have an inkling, and while she's a little disapproving that he chooses to find himself that way (and she's given him stern talking to's - that he doesn't pay attention to - and words or warning and advice and threats - that he doesn't care for), she lets him go and grow up on his own because she doesn't want to trap him. her only hope for her middle son is that he wisen up and become a man that not only he can be proud of, but her and harry and everyone else, as well. she hopes that he doesn't throw away his privileges and opportunities, and that neither he nor anyone else blame the spotlight on him for his growing up, because ginny has tried her darnedest to raise him as best as she can. she also tries to encourage lily to grow by herself. when lily was still a child, ginny worried a little that lily would grow up like the boys, and as boys distance themselves a little when they grow up, that lily would be hurt if she felt like she was being left behind. ginny was therefore really thankful that lily had two years before following her brothers into hogwarts, and that lily used that time to learn more about herself and do the things that she loved to do, rather than tagging along after the boys all the time. ginny then became lily's close friend, the one lily goes to whenever she has something she wants to get off her mind or discuss books with (ginny didn't really care much for fiction, but with her growing daughter, she figured that lily would want someone who could at least keep up with the stories, so she tried to read them, for lily). they'd spend afternoons in the garden, where lily discovered her green thumb, and those two years bonded mother and daughter. ginny can safely say that of her children, her softest spot is for lily, not only because she's the only girl and the only one who inherited the weasley red hair, but because lily is the most innocent, soft-hearted child of ginny's three, and ginny can't help but marvel at the beauty of her youngest child. of all her children, she worries about james the least. it's not that she doesn't care about him - rather the opposite. when james was younger, her biggest fear was that he wouldn't be able to cope with the fame, that it would screw him up. she feared that the potter fame would turn james two ways: either he'd misuse the fame, or be perpetually disturbed by it, resent it, rebel against it. she thanks the stars (the same stars that she thanks when harry gets home safe) that james has a good head on his shoulders and has insofar not been troubled by the fame. she knows that it sometimes irritates him, but he's always been a good, mature man, despite the outward show he presents. she respects james for what he must have gone through, and she thanks that he hasn't been turned into some mistrusting harpy because she knows that he must have encountered some 'fans' while at school. she's glad that he's not exactly following in his father's footsteps, that he's finding his own man, but that he also doesn't try to overshadow his own siblings and cousins. she loves james and trusts him the most, because that boy has a good heart and a good head and ginny knows that james can listen to both and know which one to follow. she considers all her nephews and nieces like her own children, especially rose and hugo. however, there is no one closer to her heart than teddy lupin. she considers him her first son, even though she was no older than seventeen when teddy was entrusted to the care of harry. while ginny and harry were helping with the clean up of the wizarding world, they usually left teddy with andromeda, but at the end of every day, harry would always go back to andromeda's house and spend time with teddy. ginny would accompany him most days after fred's funeral, and teddy would be their reminder that they won the war, even if it was bittersweet. teddy was their relaxation, their reward, and teddy helped their minds heal from fighting a war too young. harry would be completely confused about how to look after teddy, and ginny would step in and help him. teddy was another thread that bonded her and harry. when she was accepted on the holyhead harpies quidditch team and harry into the auror department, they both juggled their jobs with looking after teddy. most of the time, it'd be ginny who looked after teddy, and often harry, too, when the latter came in late and tired. but harry never forgot to spend some time, no matter how short, with teddy, and ginny would sometimes find harry fast asleep on the couch, glasses still on his face and the telly on, with teddy also sound asleep on his chest, hair jet black after the whole day of it being her own bright red, and a peaceful smile on his face. and ginny would smile gently at them, and think that she had her own family now. ginny knows that teddy must have felt it a bit unfair for him when the potter family grew (and the weasley clan around them), and she'd worried for a while when he became reclusive and snappy, but she never pushed him, never reprimanded him. she felt sorry that she didn't do something more when teddy began to drift away from them, but she hopes that he'll come back when he's ready. she's never asked him to return the spare key to their house, and while she used to send regular post enquiring about him and his health, after a while she slowed the number of times she sent post when he didn't much reply. she still considers him her first son, and he's always a special place in her heart, but she knows that he's an adult now, and he'll return home when he wants. after playing for the holyhead harpies as chaser and captain, she was offered a position with the ludlow teucrians as coach. she turned it down, feeling as though she would be betraying the harpies by coaching a rival team (it's almost always the harpies, the teucrians, and puddlemere united at the top of the tournament). she did a brief stint with the daily prophet as a sports journalist, before realising that writing was not really her strong point. she was then offered a spot on the england national team, felt that she was a bit too old for it, really, and was then offered to coach it, to which she accepted. her first international game was in 2018, and she did passably enough for her first game, placing englad at sixth place. by a lot of luck and a complete fluke with the seeker in 2022, she managed to get england to third place, being beaten by chile for the final match by just ten points. she hopes to get at least runner up at the next match. while she's not training the england national team, she reads muggle fiction books in order to keep up with lily. she also has a thriving greenhouse out the back for james, and has been contemplating setting up another, smaller one, just for her daughter. she also tries not to worry too much about her middle son, or her husband, and sometimes brings harry lunch at the office. she also spends time with her friends from hogwarts, like luna scamander and neville longbottom and his wife hannah. she's also close with her brothers' wives, even old phlegm, and often helps looking after the children on their holidays. every day is an adventure of ginny potter, and she likes it that way, hoping to keep it up until she can't walk anymore. ginny is also casually trying to wandlessly cast the bat-bogey hex. she and this hex in particular have been well known over the years, and due to her proficiency at it, can cast it non-verbally. she's now trying to cast it without a wand, so that random bats just flies out of someone's face and attacks them on the instance that she simply thinks it. mwahaha! |
