Girls with Red Hair
Maybe he was biased but in Harry's opinion the very best thing about Ginny Weasley was that she was always ready, willing and able to wade into dangerous shit with him.
This time it was catching leviathan hunters even though they were really supposed to be on their honeymoon.
Harry was going to leave it alone—he'd sworn up and down to a number of different people that all he wanted to do for the two weeks he was away was relax on a lovely white-sanded beach with his lovely, new, 100%-more-likely-to-sunburn-than-tan wife.
But then the skeleton of a baby leviathan had washed up on shore, and the pod had started attacking swimmers, and he'd just happened to overhear that the two friendly looking Americans who said they were from California, and who Harry'd just assumed were gay, were actually here to capture and kill the bull leviathan, and now the resort owner's daughter had been kidnapped for bait and really he was the only one (besides the aforementioned sun-challenged wife) who was really equipped to deal with the situation so—
"Okay," she said, dropping their brooms on the sand side-by-side and slathering more suntan lotion on her nose and the back of her neck—wide-brimmed hats being unsuited for rescue missions."So they've taken her out to the maelstrom, right? And they're just going to, what? Drop her in?"
"Not sure," Harry admitted, "That's what the owner thinks is going to happen because of the legend but we should be ready for anything."
"Okay, so what do we do?"
"Well," Harry said, "I have a plan."
"Is it a good plan?" she asked.
He blinked at her.
"I have a plan."
"Right then, what was I thinking," she laughed, "So I'll just prepare for destruction and mayhem then, shall I?"
"Knew there was a reason I married you."
"Thought that was because Potter boys have a thing for girls with red hair."
"Nah, that was just a bonus," grinned Harry, towing her in for a quick kiss, "You ready?"
"Let's do this."
(Spoiler Alert): Our newlywed heroes rescued the damsel in distress, defeated the bad guys, and saved the island...and despite all precautions Ginny got terribly sun burnt.
AN: Done for the 'write about what you hate' challenge on HPFC for the Pairing You Hate Most category.
