A.N. — I nearly did not post yesterday, but it clearly says "every day" in the story's summary. I was feeling weary like Errol and ended up posting a tad later than my usual posting window. Today is one of the owl's brood, whose fandom presence is all over the place. I chose to focus a kinder light on her.

223. Ginevra "Ginny" Weasley

She would not let Tom Riddle define her. Ginny Weasley was her own person and was used to proving so.

Overcoming the taint of the diary's possession would be a painful process, but Ginny had experience to draw on. Being the youngest child of an extended family was a hard shadow to step out of, but having six older brothers had toughened Ginny — her mind, body, and resolve. She fought for the scraps her siblings discarded, the fleeting moments her parents paid her attention. Coming from meagre means didn't defeat her; Ginny'd sooner die than let a shade best her.
