Re: Ginny Weasley // Harry Potter // 2/?
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 with six brothers and as the youngest of seven children has left Ginny tough and more than able to stand up to both her friends and enemies. Though she was initially shy and withdrawn around Harry, away from her crush she is a confident, personable girl who has a wicked sense of humour and who does not cry easily. She also, however, has a wicked temper and this can lead her to be quite mean to the people who upset her.
As with her brothers, Ginny is a keen flyer and Quidditch enthusiast. She has been borrowing her brothers' brooms in secret since she was six years old, after her mother forbade her to fly. Indeed, of any of her brothers she takes most after Fred and George, with that same mischievous streak and knack for talking her way out of trouble. She also, as is fitting for a Gryffindor, incredibly brave and gets frustrated when she is treated as incapable just because she is the youngest.
As she gets older, Ginny shakes off her shyness around boys and is among the first of the main cast to start dating. As with everything else, she's not afraid to go after what she wants, though her techniques aren't always successful as her Valentine's Day poem to Harry in her first year clearly demonstrates.
Other: Ginny's Patronus, once she learns to use it, takes the form of a horse. Her "signature spell" is the Bat-Bogey hex, which she eventually becomes incredibly adept with.

Re: Ginny Weasley // Harry Potter // 3/3
It's not fair. Ron's going to be going to Hogwarts in September, and then I'll be the only one who doesn't get to go. Or, well. Bill's already left and Charlie's finishing soon but that's different cus they got to go already. Why do I have to stay home just cus I'm the littlest? I'll be ten in August and that's totally old enough to go. It's stupid, that's what it is. [The full stop is rather larger and darker than the rest, as though the quill has been pressed to the same spot for a while]
Ugh, mum's calling. Probably found another list of chores to make us do so we don't get into trouble. I'd better go before Ron calls all the less horrible chores and leaves me with the icky ones.
Third Person: Ginny carefully crept down the stairs, pausing to make sure her mother hadn't heard her. While she sometimes hated that things were so quiet during term-time, she had to admit that it did make it easier for her to sneak around when there were fewer brothers to catch her. She just hoped that Ron hadn't decided to have a flying session of his own - the other downside to most of her brothers being at school, there were fewer brooms for her to borrow.
Keeping as quiet as she could, Ginny stole a glance towards the kitchen where she knew her mother was likely to be. Sure enough, Molly had busied herself keeping the kitchen in some sort of order and Ginny was free to continue making her way to the broom cupboard. Taking care not to bump into anything or otherwise do anything that could alert her mother to the fact that she was even downstairs at all - and with Molly, it didn't take much - Ginny quickly made her way to the cupboard and carefully opened it, grinning as her eyes took in the broom she was after. Technically she wasn't allowed to fly but for the past three years or so she had been teaching herself in secret.
Glancing over her shoulder to make sure neither her mother nor Ron were nearby, Ginny carefully took the broom and headed for the back door. Even still on the ground she enjoyed the feel of the broom in her hands, anticipating the sensation of freedom she always found when she was flying. On the ground she was simply Ginny Weasley, baby of the family and treated as such by her parents and brothers. In the air, however, she was free of their over-protective ways - and until she was old enough to start at Hogwarts, those brief hours spent flying would have to be enough.

I'd better go give him back. Even though I could look after him way better. Don't want mum throwing a fit cus I "stole" him. 'sides, it'll be funny to see how Ron messes up once he's at Hogwarts and doesn't have me or Mum to fix it.
