Re: Ginny Weasley || Harry Potter || Reserved || 2/3

At the start of Ginny's fifth year, she was inducted into the "Slug Club", a select group chosen by new Potions teacher Horace Slughorn after he witnessed her casting her signature Bat-Bogey Hex at Zacharias Smith. She tried out for a Chaser position on the Quidditch team and easily made the roster. But her relationship with Dean was causing tensions with Ron and the siblings grew frosty toward one another, even more so once Ron started dating Lavender. But when Ron was accidentally poisoned on his birthday things improved between them and Ginny's relationship with Dean was slowly but surely falling apart. In the April of her fifth year, she finally split up with Dean and instead began spending more time with Ron and Harry. This culminated in Ginny and Harry kissing while celebrating Gryffindor's win of the Quidditch Cup. With Ron's grudging consent, the couple dated for a brief time but following a Death Eater attack on Hogwarts during which Dumbledore was killed, Harry broke things off with Ginny as he prepared to take down Voldemort once and for all.

That summer, Ginny remained at home with her mother while her father and brothers assisted in transporting Harry from the Dursleys' home. She returned to Hogwarts, now under the rule of Snape, and revived Dumbledore's Army with the help of Neville and Luna. During the Battle of Hogwarts she was initially forbidden from joining the fight, due to the fact that she was underage, and was sent to wait in the Room of Requirements. However, when it transpired that Harry needed the room to find a Horcrux, Ginny was able to join in with the fight. She was nearly killed by Bellatrix LeStrange but her mother, Molly, stepped in and saved her.

When the war was over, Ginny and Harry were free to pursue their relationship. Ginny went on to be a professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies for several years, after which she retired to start a family and became senior Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet. She and Harry had three children together: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna.

But all of this is in this Ginny's future, as she is being brought in from the same timeline as the rest of the bb!cast.

Personality: Growing up as the youngest of seven children and as the only girl has been both a blessing and a curse for Ginny. On the one hand, it has left her tough enough to stand her ground with her brothers and to hold her own in a household where she is very much bottom of the pile. On the other hand, she has not yet crossed the line from “holding her own” to standing out. Maybe it’s from being coddled by her mother and older siblings, maybe it’s a means of self-preservation but either way, Ginny tends to keep to herself and prefers not to draw attention to herself. That doesn’t mean that she won’t stand up for the people she cares about, but being centre of attention doesn’t suit her and this means that she can be quick to back down after her initial outburst. This is something that will improve over time but for the time being, Ginny is, if not happy existing somewhat in the background, willing to accept this as a consequence of her current insecurity.
