Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I do have the books though but I don't think that counts.
Title: Everlasting Love (corny I know but it's the only thing I could come up with)
Summary: Ginny Weasley has always felt alone. But when she gets hit hard by a Bludger and falls into a coma, she's thrown back in time where she meets a wizard who changes her life. But what can Ginny do when she finds that her love from the past is actually her worst enemy from the future? The first chapter kinda skips ahead in time abruptly but I couldn't figure how else to get to the point.
*In this version, it wasn't Ginny who was possessed by the diary so she hasn't no idea of about Tom Riddle being Voldemort.* May contain spoilers.
~Chapter One~
Ginny Weasley was beginning her fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was excited but at the same time, she wasn't.
Ginny sat in her room finishing some last minute homework, listening to the muffled voices on the other side of the wall. Harry and Hermione had been invited to stay at the burrow the week before the year began. Ginny couldn't help but feel jealous. Her friends were never allowed to stay as long as Harry or Hermione. Ginny felt as if she wore an invisibility cloak at all hours of the day.
'Maybe I should ask Harry if I could barrow his.' Ginny thought bitterly. 'Then it won't feel as bad to be non-existent.' Ginny was so engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't hear her mother call up for dinner. she was startled when she heard a knock at her door and George stick his head in.
"Are you coming Ginny? Mum called up for dinner five minutes ago."
"Oh right, I'll be down in a second." Ginny answered distantly, moving to cap her ink bottle.
"Ginny are you alright?" George asked coming into Ginny's room. "You haven't been yourself lately."
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked.
"You've become so quiet. Kinda expected you to gloat a bit about last year."
"Hard to gloat when no one knows you were there." Ginny replied before she could stop herself. George just nodded.
"Ronnekins is getting all the glory while you're put out to the cold." George crossed his arms over his chest. "Ginny you have a classic case of Other Child Syndrome."
"Other Child Syndrome?" Ginny questioned. "What's that?"
"In large families like ours, every other child feels that they have to be better than the one born before them." George explained. "For examples: Charlie wanted to be better than Bill, Mum tries to get Fred and I to be better than Percy, and you want to be better than Ron." Ginny leaned her head to the side.
"That actually makes sense." She said smiling slightly.
"Of course it did. I said it, didn't I." George said smugly.
"The all-knowing George Weasley." Ginny joked. George smiled.
"That's the Ginny I know. Now let's go eat, I'm starving." George let Ginny lead the way down to the table set outside.
"Ah the missing Weasley returns." Fred said as Ginny sat between him and George.
"Is everything okay dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Everything is great." Ginny lied. Mrs. Weasley nodded and started to set food on the table.
Hermione noticed Ginny's distant look as she picked at her food.
"Did you hear the news Ginny?" Hermione asked. Ginny looked across the table at her.
"What news?"
"About Quidditch this year." Hermione said. "Since Harry is back as Seeker and captain, you're automatically a chaser now."
"That's great." Ginny said, more enthusiastically than she felt. She liked being the Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. But Ginny knew what Harry wants, Harry gets. At least he allowed her to still be on the team. He wasn't a jerk after all.
*~*~*
Ginny finished what little food on her plate and excused herself from the table. She quickly went up to her room and closed the door. Ginny went to lay on her bed and stare at the ceiling. The Hogwarts year couldn't come fast enough for her.
*~*~*
Ginny handled life so much better now that she was back at Hogwarts. She didn't feel out of place with her friends. Ginny felt happy for the first time since last year ended. But some of that happiness faded as the Quidditch season began. Harry again started taking all the fame. Never mind Ginny who was making countless goals giving Harry the sign he was free to catch the Snitch.
"Hello? Ginny are you in there?" Ginny snapped out of her thoughts.
"W-what? I'm sorry Hermione. What were you saying?"
"I was wishing you good luck. It's the first game against Slytherin." Hermione looked Ginny over. "Are you sure you're feeling alright?"
"Yes I'm fine. I was just thinking about things." Ginny quickly said. Hermione didn't look convinced but decided not to pressure Ginny.
"If you say so." Hermione said. "I'll see you after the game."
"Okay." Ginny replied watching Hermione leave. Ginny then headed to the locker rooms to change into her Quidditch gear. Ginny met the rest of the team before entering the field.
"Everyone knows the plays right?" Harry asked the team. Everyone nodded. "Okay then, have fun."
"And now for the Gryffindor Team: Sims, Jacob, Binder, Bichsel, Weasley, Weasley, Potter!" Announced Dean Thomas, the new Quidditch announcer. The team took off, mixing red robes with green robes as the game soon began.
*~*~*
"And the younger Weasley makes another goal for Gryffindor. They lead Slytherin 100 to 80."
Ginny was lost within the game. All she cared about was getting Quaffle and getting more points for Gryffindor. She raced for the Quaffle which was on the Slytherin end of the field. Ginny stole it from the Slytherin chaser and headed back for the goal. Ginny was very close to throwing distance when.......
"Ginny! Look Out!" Harry shouted from his position above her. Ginny turned just in time to see a bludger heading straight for her.
Ginny didn't have time to move out of the way.
The Bludger made contact with Ginny and Ginny completely blacked out.
