Author's Notes: These are related to my Court This Disaster / More Than Our Abilities universe but will hopefully make sense even if you don't know that universe.


Ginevra Molly Weasley Potter

1.) The Girl Who Was Left Behind. That's the nickname Rita Skeeter coined for her in the Witch Weekly articles she penned about her and Harry after the war. The truth was, even though it was hard, she knew she couldn't go with Harry on the Horcrux hunt. She still had the Trace on her and there was no way her parents would be able to explain why both she and Ron would not be attending Hogwarts that year without drawing more suspicion on their family.

Besides, she accomplished more that year with Luna and Neville than she would have tagging along with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

2.) Her clearest memory of those first few days after the diary had been destroyed was being afraid that everyone would all hate her for what she had done. It's not till Hagrid visits her with a chocolate sampler from Honeyduke's and tells her she's not to blame for what happened to his chickens that she understands it really wasn't her fault.

3.) She really did like both Michael and Dean. Michael could be a lot of fun and he knew about her trying out for Quidditch and supported her. They didn't have a very deep relationship – it mostly consisted of talking about Quidditch, playing Quidditch and occasionally snogging – but that was all they wanted and that made it perfect.

And Dean was an amazing kisser, the most thoughtful boy she knew and very romantic. Almost too romantic. Dumping Michael had been easy because they both knew it wasn't going to be a forever sort of situation but Dean – Dean was different. He really did care about her and she felt the same, just not as much as he wanted her to.

4.) She rarely cooks. It's not so much a lack of talent (though, that's a big part of it) as a lack of time and patience. Harry does more of the cooking out of the two of them.

5.) Ginny leaves the Daily Prophet after hexing Rita Skeeter for an expose she wrote on her children. Ginny wasn't fired - they were willing to forgive the former Harpie's Chaser and wife of Harry Potter – she quit.
