HOME The Burrow, Ottery St. Catchpole.
MOTHER Molly Weasley (nee Prewett). 1950.
Molly is a boisterous woman, her priority always is and always was, basic love. This is how she got along with her family, as a child, as a young adult, and as an adult. Ginny surely gets her sweet, affectionate side from her mother, though it has been mixed greatly with the many personalities in her family. Molly was an extremely affectionate child, though not as affectionate as she had become after the first war. Well, when in Hogwarts, Molly and Arthur had been caught snogging on more than one occasion, but Molly was usually the one to start it. You see, Molly is one of those people who knows she can't show too much love, or so she believes. Besides, Arthur was never one to deny the girl. Molly has always had somewhat of a tease inside her, which also tends to show in Ginny at times, and even in Fred and George, though she says she has nothing to do with that.

Molly can't bring herself to say it, but it's most obvious if she had to pinpoint the moment her worse fears were formed, it would be at the very moment she found out her brothers were killed during the first war. It took quite a bit for Molly to give any kind of reaction at first, it shifted from complete shock and silence to about a year or so of sorrowful, sobbing nights. After Molly recovered, she was both stronger and weaker than she'd been before. She was more apt to give into her fear, but was motivated to love her family more, to let more things go and to promise herself she'd be there before, and if anything happened. This family loss also pushed Arthur and Molly into an elopement, and although it may seem a bit dismal, the death around them forced the two to be fully and dramatically in love with one another. Molly was twenty when she gave birth to the first of her long line of sons.
FATHER Arthur Weasley.
Arthur Weasley was, in terms we can understand, physically shaped like Ron, and well, emotionally like him, too. He was a bit of a doofy boy, too tall for his own skin, and had the ability to blush on all different parts of his body and to extreme shades of red. He was basically easy going, but often let his curiosity and naivete get the better of him. However, upon meeting Molly, he was completely smitten by the short girl and would not do well to deny her the small kisses she planted on his cheeks. They were most likely the epitome of the cheesy, lovestruck couple, even in Hogwarts, when they were merely children. Arthur actually grew up in the Burrow, though it was much smaller then, and he simply gained possession of it after his parents had died a few years before the brunt of the first war started.

Although Arthur was still a bit of a goof even in his young adult years, Molly seemed to pull him together more than he, himself, could even do, and this is how, Arthur admits, the two made it where they did. However, Molly says they wouldn't have gotten much farther than Hogwarts if it weren't for Arthur's complete loyalty to her, and his self sacrifice. This was all brought to the attention of the two when Molly went into hiding after her brothers were killed. Arthur spent a great deal of his time sitting outside of her room in the house she grew up, a house quite similar in content to the Burrow, waiting for any noise he could hear, and emitting small coos through the crack in the door when he could hear her sob or inhale sharply for air. Arthur was even a bit surprised with his dedication, though he didn't see it as any sort of dedication, seeing as he wanted to be in the room with her, but he wasn't about to break down the door and scare Molly more than she already was. Arthur, did, however, find his way into the room. He didn't have to kick it down, but he sent a few soft spoken "love"s, "dear"s, and "mollywobbles" through the crack of the door, and he felt the lock of the door undo and this is when Molly began to recover from her loss, and when the two became all that more strong.

Arthur was actually the one to suggest the two elope. Surprised by his initiative, and scared into commitment, Molly accepted and the two were married and settled into the Burrow, a home which Arthur's parents had owned, which actually started off much smaller then the present Burrow, as the family expanded. Arthur started a small job at the Ministry right after the two eloped, basically as a paper boy in the Department of Magical Cooperation. Arthur was, perhaps, even more enthusiastic about having children, seeing as he was a basically lovable guy, though he never showed too much excitement about it, though Molly could spot the small bounce in his step and the look of pride that shone on his face whenever he spoke of his growing family. You see, Molly was always the worry wart of the two, at least in their married life, and most certainly when they became parents, especially considering the turmoil at the decent of the first war.
SIBLINGS Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron.
EXTENDED FAMILY Ginny has two uncles on her mother's side, Fabian and Gideon Prewett who were murdered during the first war, and so she's never met them. Arthur also has two brothers, giving Ginny a total of four uncles. Molly is Sirius' cousin by marriage, seeing as somewhere down the line, a Prewett married a Black. Cedrella (Black) Weasley is Ginny's grandmother on Arthur's side. Cedrella's marriage to Septimus Weasley, Arthur's father, caused her to be "blasted" from the Black Family Tree because they were blood traitors, but Ginny has never met her great grandparents, Arcturus Black and Lysandra Yaxley.
FRIENDS Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, TBA.
ENEMIES TBA.
PETS Arnold, the pygmy puff.
BACKGROUND It would be logical to start Ginny's history at the moment she was born. However, as with everyone, there is history that begins even before they do. In Ginny's case, there's quite a lot of history in her very last name, in her family, and in the traits she's inherited. Ginny is the seventh daughter, and the latest daughter in a long line of female-less Weasleys. Born into a long line of purebloods, the branch of Weasleys and Molly's family, the Prewetts, who were married into the Black family, Ginny and the rest of her present family are still considered blood traitors, burned off of the Black family tree, and on bad terms with the other side of the purebloods. However, Ginny was brought up and grew into the belief that what's right and wrong doesn't depend on name or background, but on merit and heart.

The present Weasley family was also formed a good number of years before Ginny came around. Bill Weasley was the first of Arthur and Molly's children, born ten years before Ginny. He was followed two years later by Charlie, then Percy three years afterward. Two years later, Fred and George were born. And no, those two didn't discourage Molly and Arthur from having more children because two years later, Ron was born. This is when Ginny makes her first appearance. Ginny is a year younger than Ron, ten years younger than Bill and born a hot, dry day in August.

About eleven years later, and our main character is brought into the mix.
It was a muggy August, one of the muggiest there's been, but for a whole seven days, the moisture in the air that had recently clung to Molly Weasley's frizzled hair, to the wood of the roof, and lingered near the surface of the small pond a walk down from the Burrow, had ceased. For seven days, the air had dried, and on the last day, August 11th, Molly Weasley, her large belly and a newly, only slightly balding Arthur Weasley had been introduced to their daughter. The small girl was mellow and smug in her wrapping, her bright brown eyes opened most of the time, and a small mess of red hair clung to her round head. It took only a few days for the girl to become animated, and quickly took to her brothers, finding a lovely little niche as the Weasley girl, she had an immediate connection to her youngest brother, Ron, who was basically a baby as well.

By the time Ginny was born, all of the Weasley children were still at home all year long, though Bill received his Hogwarts letter the next year. To be blunt, the Weasleys were more than a handful of similarly proud, freckled, and redheaded people. Having much more than the occasional argument, daily shouting and family Quidditch games. By the time Ginny was born, the family was certainly ready for the arrival of the first female Weasley in generations. She was loved greatly and accepted quickly as a Weasley, almost always in someone's arms, dangerously picked up by the young Weasley boys, drenched in sloppy boy kisses, given pieces of dough to mold, and given her due play time when she smiled for them.

Ginny and Ron, the youngest of the Weasley would usually sit, well, Ginny would be propped against a pillow, Ron crawling around her, and make small noises at eachother. Well, Ron would usually do the whining, and Ginny would coo quietly, laughing when Ron had to be carried away by their mother. Even as a young child, Ginny was watched most intently by Fred and George, which, in their case, meant making sure she wasn't near the stairs, near anything sharp, and wasn't crying. Apart from that, they didn't do much watching, but kept her great company, knowing better than any of the other Weasleys, how to make the small girl laugh. Even now, Ginny has acquired most of her facial expressions from the twins (and even Charlie at times, especially her body movements). However, though Ginny did retreat to Fred and George when she was in her more fiery of moods, when Ron was pleasant, the two of them were closer than the others. They were forced, to be put simply, to spend time together. Ginny was never one to deny company, especially as a child, and she enjoyed asking Ron questions and seeing who could throw gnomes farther or who could yell the loudest. Ginny won every time, but was quite good at blaming the noise on Ron. Although this connection may not be as obvious in the two children's teenage years, it is there, and can be spotted in Ron's expression whenever Ginny withdraws her wand, defends someone, or spits insults at any Slytherin.

To the older boys, Ginny was always loving. Charlie was the cuddliest out of them, held her hand the most, and Bill had a talent at winking. Percy and Ginny got along quite simply, based on Ginny curiosity. Of course, Ginny did save a lot of her questions for Ron, because she tended to enjoy the flustered look on his face when she stumped him, but when Ginny and Percy were ever on their own, which wasn't as often as the others, she probably had some of her more meaningful conversations. Although Ginny is far from an intellect, she did often seek her older brother out for his opinion. Of course, there were times at which his pride and knowledge often frustrated her, even when they were younger, and she would never say much to him, but remembered his offenses, as she often remembers all offenses.

Ginny, in her infant and toddler years was usually off with the boys, ushered around by her father. Ginny was a rarity, you see, and Arthur always had a spark in her eye, and a small grin on his lips when Ginny was near him. He found her fascinating, really, a specimen unlike his six boys, much more artistic and beautiful a specimen. Arthur often spent time just watching her, touching her hands, and was usually guilty of holding her in his arms for too much of her young life. Arthur also played somewhat of a refuge to Ginny. She got along well with her mother, but when Ginny was upset she was usually found running to her father, especially when she was younger, simply because he was the "good guy", which meant he didn't make her wash her face as much, and didn't fuss over her dresses being wrinkled. However, as Ginny got older, and Arthur became more involved in his job at the Ministry, Ginny had grown closer to her mother, even as she grew more like her brothers, she learned to confide in her mother and speak plainly to her in a way in which she couldn't with the others simply because, well, they were boys, which implied immature and insensitive in these cases. While Molly babied her like mad, Molly was, well, a mother, and it was her job to fuss over a few things concerning her daughter. Ginny also began to enjoy her mother's company because the two of them often exchanged glances when one of the other Weasleys did or said something eye roll worthy.

As Ginny grew older, however, and gained a voice of her own (a voice which could argue and yell just as loud as any of her brothers), she soon was teased for the way her mother babied her and Ginny soon began to roll her eyes when Molly would try to clean her face or brush her hair. As she grew older, and her brothers grew meaner (and into that competitive phase), Ginny was soon pushed out of activities, like Quidditch practice and conversations she just "wouldn't understand", Ginny was actually being placed right at home among the boys. Although the boys were equally as guilty of smothering her when they were younger, she soon had to argue her way into everything. She felt completely comfortable and happy doing this, though, and soon earned her place among the boys in her family.

Ginny, a sociable and cheery child, though one who could easily be tempered when she was pushed too far or told she couldn't do something, soon formed relationships with each of her siblings. Because the three older of her brothers were off to school before she had reached the age of seven, Ginny spent most of her time with Fred, George, and Ron. Of course, Fred and George were often off scheming by themselves, and when they were feeling nice, Ginny was welcomed into their scheming, especially if Ron was being a baby and pushing Ginny around. Fred and George were somewhat of a refuge to Ginny (like the friend you always have, may not see often, but make you feel perfectly comfortable, and you have a small moment of sadness that you don't spend more time with them), and the three of them were often partners in seeing how red they could make Ron turn.

The attendance of Fred and George at Hogwarts was one of the first events in Ginny's life that she could remember troubling her, and these are the years in which her and Ron bonded the most. Ginny missed the twins terribly and easily bounced up and down even a week before it was time for them and the other boys to come home for holidays. This gave Ginny and Ron two years by themselves, in which they often played outside and dug through the dirt or Ginny forced Ron to play games (preferably some variety of tag), and when Ginny's twin-like qualities were displayed on those occasions in which Ron decided to complain or reject Ginny's offers to play. Ron was actually the cause of Ginny's first sign of magic. Put simply, Ron had frustrated Ginny beyond that of any frustration the cheery girl had felt in her first few years of life. Ginny claims she had found a gnome's hat in the Burrow's garden and she decided she was going to keep it, and Ron told her to throw it over the fence before grabbing it out of her hands and threatening her with a mock pose of a baseball pitcher. However, before he could throw the thing anywhere, Ginny stood, completely insulted by his grabby hands and his bossiness and she stomped her food, let out a scream and the small hat, or whatever it may have been, caught fire in the small boy's hand. He let out a yelp, a horrified glare, and ran inside to their mum. Ginny was a bit frightened by the feeling, but was more upset over the fact that the small hat was now, not thrown over the fence, but a small pile of ashes.

By the time Ginny was ten, Bill and Charlie had already left Hogwarts safely and Ginny was glad to have them momentarily back at home for those couple of years before they soon went to find their place in the wizarding working world. This is the year that Ron received his Hogwarts letter, an event that both surprised, insulted, angered, and hurt Ginny. She had spent a good few minutes questioning Ron about it, at which all of the answers she received consisted of "I'm older than you", "It's my turn", "I have to go", or "Go ask Mum if you don't believe me." Ginny huffed at all of these answers and marched up to her mother, unpleased with the similar answers her mother presented her. After realising it was the truth, Ginny's anger slipped quickly into envy, where she asked her mother if she could go with him ("No,dear"), which then slipped slowly into sadness. Ginny began to cry quite loudly and reminded her mother Fred and George left, too, which means Ginny would be at the Burrow alone. Molly tried to calm her daughter, but Charlie was the one to calm his sister down in the end and her loud crying turned into small sobs, sniffles and eye wiping. Apart from small occasions, this was the first time Ginny could not persuade anyone to get what she wanted, and was her first strong feeling of humility and acceptance. It may have been the small turning point the child's life in which she realised she couldn't get what she wanted by being charming or based on the small fact that she was a girl.

This year was one of the most temperamental of Ginny's young life, she stewed and brooded for the few months that Ron, the twins, and Percy, but mostly Ron, were in school before their first holiday. Although Ginny folded her arms more than any other time in her life in these few months, she was also the most emotional she'd been, and often contradicted herself, giving her mother blunt if not rude answers, but asking nicely if she could sleep in her parents' room, or if she could help Molly cook, or look through Arthur's growing collections. Stubborn, but soft, Ginny would either eat dinner quietly or tell animated stories, depending solely on her mood. This was also the time in Ginny's life in which she caught glimpse of Harry Potter, the boy who lived. The love for adventure, nobility, and heroism, Ginny began to form her crush on the boy whom she carefully watched as the Weasleys helped him enter the platform on his and Ron's first day of school. The very idea of the boy was what her crush was fueled on, but Ginny, who was never very good at being subtle, spoke magnificently and much about the boy, especially when Ron was home, only slightly jealous Ron had made friends with him, but also using it as a way to ask Ron question after question about his new friend, and this is when Ginny formed from the little girl, to one of the boys, to one of the boys who happens to be a girl.

To the now eleven year old Ginny, the year of complete abandonment, or so she refers to it when she tries to make Ron feel bad, was coming to an end and she felt a beam of pride go through her when she received her letter, snatching it from Ron's hands and demanding they let her read it aloud.. whilst standing on the table. Molly protested, and Ginny read it aloud whilst standing on a chair instead, and holding onto Fred's shoulder for stability. After reading through the letter, she gave a curt nod and scurried up to her father and asked if they could go to Diagon Alley, but Molly cut in to tell her most of what she needed was upstairs in Bill and Charlie's room, and so began Ginny's introduction into the world of second hand everything, apart from clothes, and even then, she could fit into some of her brother's childhood clothes. Though Molly had promised her they would go to Diagon Alley closer to the first day of school. Ginny would have been nervous and frazzled, but her confidence and pure victory in being accepted into Hogwarts, where she could join ranks with her brothers. However, a few days before she was to head to Hogwarts, she was packing up her last loose articles (as Ginny was never the most organised or neat person), and was indeed brought to face with someone, the whole situation frazzling her enough to last a week or so. Harry Potter was in her house. Her huge, messy, strange house, which she became just a bit aware of. The boy who lived. Ginny felt a mixture of giddiness, fright, anger, and embarrassment. The only thing she could really do, or the only thing her body would let her do was to run away, and quite Ron-like, dropping a few of the small tokens she was attempting to remember to pack. This is where the embarrassment comes in. She hates running from things, but blames this act of cowardice on her young, school girl crush, which she says she would never do now.

That day had gone from exciting, to frightening, to excited again, and then a strange mix of the two. Ginny still laughs when she thinks about the whole floo incident that occurred between the Burrow and Diagon Alley. Of course, Ginny was extremely worried when Harry didn't show up at Diagon Alley where the rest of the Weasleys were headed on their way to Flourish and Blotts. Ginny was pushed and pulled into Flourish and Blotts by her mother once she had fussed over Harry and his dusty condition after coming from Knockturn Alley, and after visiting the Weasley's bare vault in Gringotts. Seeing as Molly had been paying so much attention to Harry, Ginny was a tad bit grudging toward her mother, and this is when Ginny first began to form a small relationship with Hermione, the girl she was left with when Ron and Harry and the other boys decided to ignore her. Besides Ginny admired the way Hermione could throw Ron off, sometimes, more than Ginny. This is the scene in which the Malfoys and the Weasleys have a bit of a face off. Arthur and Lucius eventually being fighting, Ginny says, obviously because the Malfoys just had to make comments on their money and her no, decidedly, friend's muggle parents. Draco also had to have his hand in the insulting, and had at it with Harry and his unwanted attention from Gilderoy Lockhart. This is when Ginny first spoke in front of Harry, but her pride and perhaps ambitiously naive loyalty to the boy forced her to tell Malfoy off with a simple "Leave him alone", at which she blushed madly when Draco replied with something along the lines of "You've got yourself a girlfriend."

Flourish and Blotts was also the scene set for an important moment in Ginny's history. This is when Tom Riddle's journal was placed slyly into her cauldron. However, the next day was Ginny's first day of school,and she forced herself not to be flustered by the prior day's confrontation with Draco. After the six struggling students rushed and grabbed and tugged to get all their things together and get to the station, after many returns to the Burrow for forgotten items, the Weasleys plus Harry had made it to Kings Cross. Ginny was especially escorted through to the platform, as she was extremely excited, but her mother could tell she was also a tad nervous, and what with Ginny's increasingly odd behaviour since Harry's arrival, Molly made sure she had gotten her worn out boots onto the floor of the train before taking a step back.

And so, the rushing pair of Weasley women went through to the platform, followed by the twin and Percy. Ron and Harry were the last to go through, and we all know what happens at this point to those two. However, once Ginny got onto the train, she was a bit upset that she couldn't find Ron or, in turn, couldn't find Harry. Ginny's eyes only swelled up with a bit of tears when she became just a bit overwhelmed and although Ginny was a bit nervous because of all the people around her, she soon did what she did best, stand out, apart from her long mane of hair which set her apart enough from the others that Fred had been able to grab her arm and ask her where her boyfriend, Harry was. After Ginny gave him a glare similar to his own, and trying to blink away the tears in her eyes, he told her to follow him. Ginny did so, frustrated with herself for being frightened, hoping her face wasn't red as a beet, when she was actually quite pale, which she had been for most of her time in Hogwarts that year.

The Great Hall was, well, even greater than Ginny could have guessed from her brothers' ramblings and mentionings of it. The sorting ceremony had her only slightly nervous, though she wasn't exactly sure why, seeing as it took only a few seconds for her to be placed in Gryffindor. And her pride swelled so much it wouldn't have been surprising to see her heart at the surface of her chest when she giddily skipped up next to her brothers at the long table. Hogwarts was, in a rundown, a head rush for Ginny. She couldn't help but throw out a few "My brother said that once..." or "Charlie once told me about..." that is, until she had set her charming, sociable whims into the ring and made a few acquaintances, most in Gryffindor her first year, though she had no qualms with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw at this point. She did, however, per family tradition, hold a bid of a bias for the Slytherin house, despite her promotion of anti bias.

What happened of the enchanted journal? Ginny simply mistook it for one of her normal school books for a couple of weeks. That is until, one day, she was ignoring an essay she had to do, which she did often, and saw the nicely bound, small book and not one to deny herself curiosity, she opened it and looked through it. She found, as we all know, nothing. however, the way she stumbled upon it's powers is somewhat how Harry did. Considering she had a quill nearby already, it took only a few minutes for her to write something concerning her silly crush on Harry or her childish worries in it. And thus it all began. From this point on Ginny had grown peaky, physically, mentally, emotionally and spent a lot of her time retreating to her dormitory or a secluded area she scarcely remembers. Ginny actually remembers very little from it, apart from dismal and utter fright when she would try to remember what she'd done, and a sinking feeling of despair, quite like the very moment you find out a close friend has died or the stirring and whirring you get when you cry yourself to sleep, or perhaps a mixture of the two. Whatever the feeling was, it made Ginny absolutely sick, and shortly after Halloween, when the writing on the wall appeared, Ginny was peaky as ever.

Ginny found her first year being chopped into frightening bits, remembering only parts of it and losing her own character when she was able to remember herself. There were periods in time where she was herself, if only for a few days. One of these days was when Ginny recalled her Ron and his groups discussion of the Death Day party, and when she would have small, mundane conversations with the acquaintances she had made, but were losing substance to quickly. The rogue bludger episode is an incident which Ginny held some sort of memory of. She was concerned, of course, but was nearly passed out the whole day from journal-elated duties just prior, and was extremely shaken up, or so it seemed, by the petrification of Colin Creevey.

Quite awhile of time went by peacefully, and this is when Ginny was most conscious, though still shaken in what memories she had. This is when Ginny sent Harry, or didn't send him the "secret" singing valentine. After Professor Sprout had began her preparations for the maturing of Mandrakes to help the petrified people, everybody was a bit relieved for a few moments, but in the midst of the news, Ginny, nervous and pale as ever had sat herself near Harry and Ron. After Harry asked her if she wanted to tell them something, Ginny nodded slowly, feeling sick in her own body, only to be interrupted by her brother Percy, which annoys Ron beyond belief and declared to Percy that Ginny may have known important information about the Chamber of Secrets, though Percy had blown it off as something else. This is the same that Ron and Harry had found the crumpled piece of parchment in Hermione's petrified hands. It's when Ron and Harry rush to tell McGonagall what they had discovered that they hear McGonagall, Dumbledore and the staff talk stiffly about a girl who had been taken into the Chamber, and that "Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever."

Ginny had been utterly frightened by the attacks over the course of the year, and Percy had been upset about her terror and nightmares. Ginny did in fact know something about the attacks, or else she, a pure-blood young witch, would not have been taken into the Chamber of Secrets. Perhaps Ginny could have been saved had she been given the chance to confide in Ron and Harry, or perhaps not. At any rate, Percy was absolutely distraught by her disappearance, as could be expected. This is when Harry and Ron make their way, with the help of Harry's parseltongue, into the pipes, into the Chamber. We all know Ron was left behind to aid a dense, memory-less Lockhart, but Harry had entered the Chamber to see Ginny, who had, as she lived for most of her first year, unconscious, unaware, and dying. Ginny remained this way, perhaps having her soul seeping slowly out of her by the minute, but she had laid unconscious throughout Harry's whole battle with the Basilisk. Gasping for breath, her body breathing in what she had lost when she was unconscious, for the past few minutes and the past few months.

Ginny was brought, sobbing, apologising left and right, grasping onto Fawkes' tail feathers, and rubbing her eyes on her dirtied sleeves, and diverting her eyes from most people, most specifically Harry, out of the Chamber. The next day, Ginny, Ron, Harry are in Dumbledore's office for quite sometimes, Ginny's eyes puffy and her head still hung a bit low. Though, after having a few words with the Headmaster, she was comforted, and brought into the office to see her mother and father, who were flung upon her within seconds. The Weasleys asked Harry about the events in the Chamber, and Ginny, looking desperately, and for the first time since the events, at him, wasn't sure what he wanted him to say. however, Dumbledore encouraged the boy to explain the enchantment of the diary, as to spare the girl her shame. Ginny spent the last days of her first year in the Infirmary, where Dumbledore said she should relax, though she just sat somewhat quietly, more relieved than she'd been all year, but still troubled. Ginny had to face a fear she didn't know how to escape; herself. She survived and this is when her shy demeanor while in Hogwarts began to deteriorate.

In fact, the girl was troubled for a good few months after she had been in the Chamber of Secrets, but the process of recovery started moments later, the day she left the school. She had decided not to spend her time trying to catch up with the acquaintances or answer a great amounts of questions she didn't know the answers to, and spent her train ride home with her brothers, Hermione and Harry, keeping quiet most of the time. Ginny did, however, divulge what she'd seen Percy doing, well, snogging a few days before, pleasing Fred and George to the point that Ginny let a small smile creep onto her lips.

During the summer, Ginny recovered quite well, still having the occasional nightmare, a few desperate moments in which she'd prefer to be alone and with someone at the same time. She was still a confused young girl, but she had been smiling much more, and found a lot of comfort in watching her family interact, especially when Fred and George decided to mock Percy for his new girlfriend and his utter sappiness. Ginny, proven herself stronger than she was the year before, was ready to enter her second year of Hogwarts a bit differently. And so her second and even her third year were calm and simple compared to her first, apart from what she experienced second hand from Ron, Harry and Hermione who had since become some of Ginny's closer friends. However, Ginny spent these two years focusing on her studies and getting back to her sociable self, and she remained in equilibrium, letting these years be rather enjoyable and easy for her. Of course, she made her own adventure, though they were never as dangerous as the Trio's. Ginny had always been a resentful that she wasn't involved in the Trios work, but instead, let herself be reintroduced into the Hogwarts student body.

Friendships that had been misplaced or put on hold from the prior year were remade and rebuilt, and she was soon considered one of the more popular girls in her year, based simply on her friendly demeanor and her more confident self. It wasn't until her fourth year, however, that Ginny formed into who she would be as an adult. Walking swiftly into the Hogwarts scene, her fiery hair streaming behind her and her somewhat intriguing personality and quick, sarcastic comebacks and sharp witted tongue, she had gained the attention of not only her classmates in general, but of the male section of the student body. Tiresome of coming second to Ron, and even more tiresome of her giddy and childish (and futile) crush on Harry Potter, Ginny took the advice of Hermione Granger and tried to let the crush go, which she did, at least on the surface and in the way she acted. It was in this year that she became a large fan of the underdog, taking particular interest in Luna and Neville, trying to understand their quiet heroism, which she enjoyed beyond belief. And while she wasn't completely innocent at narrowing her eyes or furrowing her brows at the two of them and their strange comments, she had formed great loyalties to the two, and never missed an opportunity to put someone in her place on their behalf. The train ride to Hogwarts this year was frightening for Ginny, perhaps sending her into a momentary relapse of the year before. The Dementor surely triggered some sort of memory of the past year. Or it may have been simply the sight of Harry and the Dementor.

Ginny's third year was also the year she attended the Yule Ball with Neville, opening her options and her personality to other boys in the school, making friend with students from other houses. However, Ginny had made friends with Neville and wanted to attend the ball, and so took up the boy's offer, finding, which she won't admit, that she likes dancing, despite her slight lack of grace the first few times Neville had asked her. However, being rhythmically and gracefully inclined, she found her foot soon after. Ginny still had a sinking crush on Harry, despite her attempt to move on, but gave Ron a wrinkled nose when he told her to go with Harry and walked away, only blushing a little, her main whipping behind her as she stalked off. The Yule Ball is also the scene in which Ginny met Michael Corner, a dark haired Ravenclaw who she'd struck up a conversation with at the punch bowl. Michael Corner and Ginny had talked occasionally after the Ball, Ginny usually finding him standing somewhere near him when she had a moment to spare, continuing the last conversation the two had had. This was the beginning of the relationship the two would have not long after that.

The summer before Ginny's fourth year was spent, quite excitingly, in preparation and reestablishing of 12 Grimmauld Place. Ginny found the whole experience interesting and liked staying in the creepy house, despite being screamed out by various paintings and being forced to clean out dusty old infected rooms. However, she had almost fully recovered from her first year, and was now willing to share it. Of course, not outwardly and at random whims, but she certainly used it to show an indignant Harry that his stubborn, unpleasantness at not being appreciated for his trials, that she was the only other person who could relate to him. She would have done a victory dance in front of him to show that he could show him up, but she was troubled by it, and kept a stern face, her eyes burning slightly.

Ginny had spent the summer around old Aurors, old family friends, her family, Harry, and Hermione, listening to what each of these people believed, her beliefs forming to that of her own. Ginny had learned to enjoy the odd company she shared in Grimmauld Place, and was only slightly troubled by the turmoil in the Ministry, the Order, and the rest of the wizarding world. However, the adventurer in the young lioness fed on the adventure she had felt ahead of her, despite her lingering worry.

Ginny's fourth year at Hogwarts had just begun, and Ginny nicely found her own niche in the community. That is, until peace was disturbed. That is, until the utterly awful Umbridge came to Hogwarts. Ginny was trying her hardest to be involved in any of Ron, Harry or Hermione's conversation, dying to add angrily to their complaints, but she had also learned to be a bit patient, know she had to keep quiet, and learning how to do so just a bit while living in such a hidden place over the summer. She jumped at the organisation of the DA, and prides herself in being the one who named it (No, it wasn't Cho, it was her). Still dating Michael Corner at that time, Ginny had made a good amount of friends in Ravenclaw, and even recruited a few members into the DA, also a fact in which she's proud of. Completely enthralled by the idea of the DA, Ginny was always happy to sneak off or whispers comments to Hermione about meetings.

Apart from the DA, Ginny's fourth year was monumental in that it was the year she joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Of course, the acceptance to the team wasn't one of great stature, being the replacement seeker for a recently banned Harry Potter. Not all that bad a seeker, Ginny had learned and also proved to her brothers who would refuse her participation in their childhood Quidditch games, that she was decent, if not impressive for such a small statured girl. Not only did this swell her pride, it gave her a small bit of confidence which fed her recently stifled supply of it. Quidditch also happened to be the end of her and Michael Corner's relationship. This break up also gave her a bit of self confidence, in which she learned all she needed was herself and who she already had. The Battle of the Department of Mysteries was one which Ginny will remember until her dying day. Not only did it feed her adventurous side, it fed to her dutiful, noble, and strong side. She demanded she go with her friends, her brother, Harry and Hermione, reminding them she is older than they were when their own adventures began. This night, as well, opened her eyes to the real world of war. As much as she wants her and her family's cause to live on, she found thrill in the flight of that night, not only proud of what she did, but glad she was there to see it, to help. As exciting as it may have been, it was indeed and eye opener for the girl. Sirius' death had hit her hard, and she retreated, for a month or so, into herself, emerging as a full grown lioness.

It was in Ginny's fifth year that her tempered patience began to wear thin, where she took very little nonsense from people, whether or not the nonsense was actual nonsense or just someone or something she didn't like. It may have been the pressure and fear her family was feeling, the pressure her allies were feelings, or perhaps the pressure on the entire wizarding world. This year she planned on getting her OWLS done satisfactorily, playing Quidditch, fighting for what she could, and being herself, roar and all. This school year started fiercely, Ginny was not made a prefect, joining the ranks of the twins, but then again, she always had a more twin-like school career with less pranks, and more boys, but Ginny was granted the very prestigious honour of being asked to join the Slug Club after displaying to Professor Slughorn her patented and sure fire Bat Bogey Hex at the lovely Zacharias Smith. Quidditch this year for Ginny resulted in her making the team as chaser, only once filling in for Harry as seeker when he, of course, had a detention.

Although trying to stay focused on her schoolwork in her OWLS year, Ginny couldn't help but eventually be distracted, either by arguments, a physical fight or two, or boys. She was a teenage girl afterall. She had a basically physical fling with Dean Thomas, which she was picked at about, especially from Ron, which led to many heated arguments between the siblings followed by long periods of the silent treatment, however, in March when Ron was poisoned, Ginny was quick to forgive and forget, or perhaps be forgiven and forgotten. Ginny and Dean's relationship didn't last long, either because physical flings never last very long, because Ginny didn't like him beyond any of that, or because her other distractions this year included the occasional patter of her heart in her chest when near Harry. However, since her second year, Ginny had learned to ignore that. This strength of ignoring was wearing thin as well, but she tried her hardest, proving to be a much harder task than many other trials she'd faced, she appeared uninterested in the boy she had liked at such a young age. And she did. Or so she told herself everyday.

In April of her fifth year, though, during the manic excitement of the post Quidditch Cup celebrations, Ginny and Harry's relationship was initiated as something more than "he's my brother's best friend" or "he's my best friend's sister" and with the awkward, Ron-like blessing from Ron himself, this is when their relationship started.

It was only a small amount of months later that the frightening events began to unravel at Hogwarts. Ginny, along with Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna, tries to protect Hogwarts when Harry and Dumbledore are away, along with the help of what was left of his Felix Felicis potion, which Harry had given to her, Ron and Hermione. They, and many other members of the Order end up fighting with the Death Eaters that have entered the school aided by Draco Malfoy. In many heated, passionate battles of protection, anger, bias, and duty, Ginny escaped without injury, telling Harry that "if we hadn't had your Felix potion, I think we'd all have been killed, but everything seemed to just miss us."

Ginny does not know the details of the Prophecy, and Ginny and Harry's brief relationship was ended at the funeral of Dumbledore, where Ginny nodded in response to the boy's request. With Ginny's keen intuition, emotional ableness, and understanding of Harry, she had claimed she expected it. And it all made sense to her, she supposed, her sense of duty fully capable of knowing what Harry was doing was the smartest, not the most popular, way to go about it. Moved by the boy's noble ideas, ideas which Ginny is a sucker for, Ginny accepted Harry's request, turning her due attention to the honour of Albus Dumbeldore, promising herself and him that she wasn't going to go away, though, and was content on helping her family, the Order, or whoever it may be in the war, which has certainly started from this point on.

personality.
FIRST IMPRESSION "Weasley."
BEHAVIOUR We all know Ginny Weasley. She is the epitome of a lioness, from her fiery mane to her strong courage and sense of protection and kin. Ginny cannot help but be impressed by anything that she perceives to be regal, noble or important. Generally, she tends to have the power to be a leader of a group, which she certainly could, but having grown up in such a colourful family, she has learned to lead in her own way, and decipher when it's time to stand up and when it's time to follow who she trusts. When she does stand to take charge, or convince her brothers she is very capable of doing a hard task, she will so so with such a disarming warmth and dazzling smile (not the mention a few incredibly undeniable facts of her personal strength) that nobody ever truly take offense, unless, she claims, they've already made bias judgments against her, in which case, they're not worth charming, but deserve a bat bogey hex to the face. Perhaps those around Ginny sense that she was born to rule as well as dictate styles, customs and manners. Regardless, any attempt to usurp her authority is destined to meet with failure, that is, unless, she loves you. This is when she may give up her power. however, if she feels she is right (which is more often than not, she will either outwardly and personally change it, or try her hardest behind the scenes to make sure her friend doesn't do something stupid). Ginny is a sentimental soul, invariably blessed with vivacity, intelligence, grace, beauty and appeal. She often pretends to be sweet and harmless or smooth and calm because it is a ploy that works marvelously for her, but she is far from shy and submissive. Far too proud and dignified to take any nonsense, that is, of course again, if you're Fred and George, in which case, she expects it and enjoys it, and often tends to inherit their nonsense.

Ginny basks in compliments, but prefers them to be original and creative, she also plays calm and collected, usually seeming as though she's paying little attention to her surroundings, which may be in some cases, but she makes for a talented actress in that she can remain calm when she's not, or convince her mum she was not the one who brought the gnome inside. While Ginny finds it impossible to exist with flattering appreciation, she has little use for individuals who show no strength of character. This is where Ginny's loyalties begin to form. She is very sociable, able to make friends easily, but how does she choose which are potential friends and which are not? It's based mostly on their personality, on their heart, and on the basic principle of "are they good people?" Of course, there are exceptions, someone who is nice, but completely naive and unable to have any self respect or an ounce of courage somewhere, is less apt to gain Ginny's respect or useful time. Still, she refuses to allow anyone to insult her, or any of those people she has deemed worthy of friendship (whether or not a friendship has yet to be formed) with a condescending attitude and in her mind, she is definitely not the weaker of the sides in a fight.

Ginny is athletic and enjoy Quidditch, either by nature or by family interest, but is essentially magnetised and transfigured by theatrical events, fascinated by the role of the heroine. Ginny is a complete fan of the underdog, the ability to shine even in the dingiest of means, and the whole "never kick your dog because he's just a pup" is one she lives by. It is inherent in Ginny to occasionally be arrogant and vain, or as some may say, "completely and rashly overconfident". Those around her seldom resent the sentiment because when Ginny is warmly loved and respected, she can be the kindest and most benevolent of females, one who harbours a deep compassion for people, as well as the helpless and the forsaken, relating to her respect for the underdog. Ginny tends to be so gracious and dazzling that most people happily give her credit for being out of the ordinary, mostly her family, like the deep confidence Fred and George have in her strength. In truth, she probably is just that, being intelligent, witty, strong and capable, while remaining essentially feminine.

A little flattery goes a long way with the Ginny, though her intuition, inherited by her mother, can often detect the difference between sincerity and just plain lies, but confinement inside four walls and under one roof can soon rob the girl of her sparkle. She must engage in something to be happy. There can be times when she loses her dignity and poise, which is more often than other girls, apart from her natural poise, because of her male influence in life, since there is a flair for pure slapstick here. She can easily succumb to roaring with laughter but when the moment has passed, the regal bearing will return, though she often either wears a blank look, a rather Fred and George like stare, or a bright smile. There are very few others who can so expertly and contemptuously squelch a fresh remark or rude question than Ginny. She does not appreciate familiarity from strangers, although she will clown around and be surprisingly casual with intimates. Still, outsiders are always expected to keep their place.

Confident, elegant, graceful and natural, the small Weasley is selective when it comes to her friends and acquaintances. She is open-minded but cautious about letting others get too close too quickly. She is open to friends, but quiet to the point in which she can learn about someone before becoming too close to them. This is a girl who likes to be in control, in the end, but has learned that she simply can't control everything, especially in her family of Gryffindors. Extremely proud, Ginny never forgets an insult and always cherishes a sweet memory. The girl is blessed with a sympathetic personality and good social qualities. By nature and with very little effort, she seems to possesses a regal bearing. Because Ginny has such dutiful standards in so many parts of life, others can often not live up to her expectations. Still, this does not necessarily worry her unless the individual in question is intimately involved in her life. Ginny is capable of showing love, forgiveness and kindness to complete strangers or mere acquaintances, but is often critical and almost unkind to those close to her if she feels they have failed her in any manner. This varies, as Ginny often does, on the specific situation or the personal insult. If she believes they truly mean the insult they dish out, she will stalk off and try to solve it herself or get someone to help her thwart the other person, but as she's matured, she's learned to stand behind the person, just a bit angrily and with her arms folded, but fight on their side, perhaps just when she thinks it is time to. Ginny strives to be a model of self-esteem, strength and confidence.
FEARS Somewhat like her mother, family death and destruction is up there on Ginny's list. Paralysis is another one of her biggest fears.
HABITS She is a nail biter. She has a habit of absorbing other peoples' habits, though. Ask anyone who has heard her disapproving moan, it's quite like her mother's.
MENTAL HEALTH Sane enough.
BOGGART Desolation.
PATRONUS A clydesdale.
ANIMAGUS Quite simply, a small lioness.

appearance.
HEIGHT 5'3"
WEIGHT 130 pounds.
EYES Her eyes are a bright brown, and probably the most expressive part of her, save her mouth, which usually gives hints to her emotions, despite what she may say other. They're round and light brows and lashes outline her eyes.
HAIR Long, dark red, usually kept down. It has a slight wave to it, but it's basically straight and is usually strewn over her shoulders or flowing down her back. Ginny doesn't spend much time doing her hair in the morning.
VOICE Molly can be heard in Ginny's motherly, sympathetic voice. When Ginny is calming a friend down, comforting a stranger, or criticising the way Ron wears his pants, it's almost frightening how you can hear no difference in her voice from her mother's. Apart from that, her voice is steady and strong most of the time. There is very little white noise.
COMPLEXION Fair, with a tiny of pink in her cheeks, and, of course, her patented freckles, which remain all year round on her face, arms and back.
EXAMPLES

miscellaneous.
FAVOURITE BOOK Ginny likes "A Tale of Two Cities", which she's read a handful of times, but only for the end.
FAVOURITE COLOUR Burgundy.
FAVOURITE SCENT Her mother's cooking, dirt, her father's sweaters, mildew.
FAVOURITE ACTIVITY Quidditch. People watching.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Ginny forced herself not to be flustered by the prior day's confrontation with Draco. After the six struggling students rushed and grabbed and tugged to get all their things together and get to the station, after many returns to the Burrow for forgotten items, the Weasleys plus Harry had made it to Kings Cross. Ginny was especially escorted through to the platform, as she was extremely excited, but her mother could tell she was also a tad nervous, and what with Ginny's increasingly odd behaviour since Harry's arrival, Molly made sure she had gotten her worn out boots onto the floor of the train before taking a step back.

And so, the rushing pair of Weasley women went through to the platform, followed by the twin and Percy. Ron and Harry were the last to go through, and we all know what happens at this point to those two. However, once Ginny got onto the train, she was a bit upset that she couldn't find Ron or, in turn, couldn't find Harry. Ginny's eyes only swelled up with a bit of tears when she became just a bit overwhelmed and although Ginny was a bit nervous because of all the people around her, she soon did what she did best, stand out, apart from her long mane of hair which set her apart enough from the others that Fred had been able to grab her arm and ask her where her boyfriend, Harry was. After Ginny gave him a glare similar to his own, and trying to blink away the tears in her eyes, he told her to follow him. Ginny did so, frustrated with herself for being frightened, hoping her face wasn't red as a beet, when she was actually quite pale, which she had been for most of her time in Hogwarts that year.

The Great Hall was, well, even greater than Ginny could have guessed from her brothers' ramblings and mentionings of it. The sorting ceremony had her only slightly nervous, though she wasn't exactly sure why, seeing as it took only a few seconds for her to be placed in Gryffindor. And her pride swelled so much it wouldn't have been surprising to see her heart at the surface of her chest when she giddily skipped up next to her brothers at the long table.
