Happy birthday, Sheep!—

i

She lies in bed, eyes unblinking and mind unsleeping, her mind haunted by past experiences. The possession, the bloody dungeon... Ginny weeps.

ii

The day's sun rises as usual, a hopeful beacon peeking out from the tones of dawn. Ginny rouses herself, exhausted but smiling: she lives.

iii

Gryffindor's common-room is a welcome sight; a home away from home, more or less. The redhead waves generally and then leaves for breakfast.

iv

Piling her plate with sausage and eggs, the youngest Weasley recalls her lessons for the day. Meanwhile, her friends grow even more worried.

v

Luna confronts her at lunch, striding up to the red dining table where a Weaslette eats alone.

"This isn't like you," she says. Ginny flees.

vi

She camps out in her bedroom, stomach growling, but Ginny's still willing to wait for Potions class. Anything to avoid the airy Ravenclaw.

vii

Snape isn't pleased with her late arrival, and so she lands a detention. Everyone knows that he has a bias towards his House, but Ginny is still sickened.

viii

That night, still restless, the second-year ponders upon the Chamber of Secrets, the Basilisk, Harry. She grins weakly; the two wrongs brought a right.

ix

She doesn't know when or how, but somewhere in between her insomnia-fuelled musings, Ginny falls asleep.

For once, the girl suffers no nightmares.

x

Like ivy scaling along a dilapidated cottage's wall, Ginny was admirable for her ability to adapt to the darkest situations.

Her fight was won.

Pain is temporary. Victory lasts forever.

Author's note: Just some snapshots from Ginny's second year, whilst she's still 'infected' with the memories of being possessed, ect. This didn't turn out how I wanted it to (like, the segments are so scattered that it makes me cringe), but it's alright...

You know, considering I loathed Ginny in the books, I seem to enjoy worming my way into her head OwO
