Ginny Weasley
1. It was love at first sight.
Can a girl fall in love at ten years old? Ginny did. It was Ron's first year going to Hogwarts, and a boy, later found out to be Harry Potter, asked her family for help getting on the platform. Ginny loved him instantly, even before finding out he was famous.
2. It was love at first site.
And it was her secret. She was her father's daughter, and she, too, loved muggle things, especially electronics. She once found a computer and found the internet. No one had to know, but Ginny was amazed by websites.
3. She owed him everything.
Harry had, in short, saved her life in her second year. For that, she was eternally grateful. In fact, his rescue made her love deeper. She knew in her heart that he hadn't really done it for her, but because it was right. Still, it felt nice to fancy he loved her back.
4. She had nice nails.
That is, until she chewed them off due to the nervousness of Harry being in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Her friends kept asking where her nails had gone, and she would lie and say that she stubbed this finger and the nail broke, or that one got caught on something, when truthfully, she couldn't have cared less about her nails. All that mattered was Harry getting out alive.
5. Love can be contained.
She "got over" Harry around her fourth year, started seeing people. Each one had some flaw that side-tracked the relationship. After a fight, she would sit alone, thinking how Harry would never do this, or if she was seeing Harry, that wouldn't have happened. It felt unfair to lead the boys on when she loved Harry, but she couldn't just sit around and wait.
6. Her fifth year was the best.
At the end of it, Dumbledore died and Harry broke her heart, but she still had the time with him in the middle. So what Voldemort was back? What could he do to her that he hadn't already done? He couldn't take back her memory, that was for sure.
7. It should have been her.
When devising a plan for battle with George and Fred, she had suggested she go off in a certain direction, but Fred decided that he should, instead. Ginny agreed, not thinking much of it, and hugged her brothers before splitting up. She didn't know she would never see Fred alive again.
8. She proposed to him.
After they got back together and spent a couple years dating, it was Ginny who asked Harry for marriage. At first concerned about the idea of marriage, Harry's mind raced, but then he thought through it, and Ginny Potter sounded rather nice.. His response was to let him buy her an engagement ring and ask her in front of her whole family. They'd have been rather mad if they missed it.
9. She actually did have a say in the naming of her children.
In fact, James Sirius and Lily Luna were both her idea. She felt that the first boy could have only one proper name; he had to be named for the two bravest men his parents knew. She thought that Lily Luna could only be named for one of the most courageous women ever born and her own godmother. As for Albus Severus, that was Harry's idea.
10. She hated being the youngest.
Once she realized that being the last born meant likely being the last dead, Ginny dreaded the thought of Death not for herself but for her brothers who she would have to see all die before her. It was a thought that kept her up at night. It was a thought that made her cry herself to sleep. Seeing Fred die and having to move on made her realize that she had no idea how she could make it through the same situation five more times, plus two for their parents.
