r/HarryandGinny

*RANT*

One of my biggest issues with the Hinny pairing is the lack of a buildup between Harry and Ginny. In the previous books, there was no indication of Harry actually thinking of Ginny as a love interest but all of a sudden in HBP he starts to have desperate feelings for her? It just seems a bit rushed. We do see Ginny changing though. From her shy self in 4th year to actually being comfortable around Harry in 5th year, she develops as a character and matures as a person. But there is no change in Harry in that aspect. I think the scene after Harry and the others come back from St. Mungo's was a great chance to develop the dynamic between Harry and Ginny even more. Maybe Ginny opening about her fears about the Chamber of Secrets and letting out the trauma she felt. That would've been a good foundation to work on.

Make no mistake, I absolutely loved their dynamic in HBP but there was no buildup to it and their relationship was short lived. I know romance is a side plot to the main HP series and hence I'm here in fanfiction.

So, LF for fics where there's a good buildup. No slowburn though. A decent pace would do. And I would prefer the fics to be in their 5th year.

If i remember correctly it is AU where both Molly and Lily are both windows and then feel in love and are engaged and Harry and Ginny are step siblings through marriage of both moms.

What's the name of that story? I think it was a one shot story.

“SACRE BLEUUUUU!!!!!” Voldemort thought internally.

Long story short, I am once again out of fics. I have been reading a ton of harmony stories, and realized that I do not think I have a read a pure harry/Ginny story in years. I generally lean towards longer stories, in excess of 80000 words at least, and preferably complete! I usually read to fast and I have no ability to be patient when it comes to good stories lol. I am also a sucker for fluff, and prefer stories with the bare minimum of angst if anyone at all. In short, looking for Hinny romances that are complete and long with little amounts of angst and plenty of fluff! Any rating/time period is welcome! I am generally unfamiliar with the pairing, so classics who usually don't need to be recommended are also welcome! Only exception is the changeling, as it doesnt seem to be up my alley. Thank you for the Recs!

As we mourn Gracie's departure from the role and get ready to welcome a new Ginny, I got curious: what does Ginny look like in your head?

Does she have delicate features (kind of like Marta's design from artdungeon) or some of her brothers's features? That lanky, sort of narrow face, longer nose we see her with a lot in modern fan art?

Is she conventional or unconventional in any way?

Freckles or no freckles?

What shade is her hair for you? Darker red or on the orange side? How long is it at PS and how long does it get by Ootp and HBP? Does she ever wear braids?

Pin straight hair or does it have some waves? Side part or middle part?

What's her type of beauty for you? Striking and in your face or girl-next-door?

Does her depiction ever vary for you or you have a very fixed character in your head?

Is there any feature in particular you'd like to see on the show?

Any hinny fic recos that has grovelling tropes? Either harry or ginny but also not ooc 😅 just looking for something angsty but with happy ending

Gonna be travelling for quite a few days and need some good long fics to keep me company. Preferably fluff, nothing too angsty. What fics do you all read when you have a lot of free time on your hands?

Looking for recommendations for fics where the golden trio and Ginny return to Hogwarts to re-do their 7th year. Prefer Harry/Ginny focus, open to Hermione/Ron being included as well.

Essentially, Harry and Ginny go to Weasley wizard wheezes and see some sort of daydream product. Harry's daydream is obviously to see his parents again, but they accidentally get transported back in time to a couple of days before James and Lily die. When James and lily were alive. They bump into Sirius, convince him they're from the future and then meet Dumbledore. They tell Dumbledore about how Lily and James are literally about to be killed, and Dumbledore is able to overpower Voldermort and so jily and baby harry are saved. Harry and Ginny then return to the future and wake up one day - having lived the past 15 years in the AU - and have memories of both realities, where harry grew up an orphan and when he grew up with his parents. They also get together earlier on in the fic - when they're both at sirius' place before Dumbledore arrives. I'm pretty sure it's not multi-chapter and would LOVE some help in finding this. Thanks in advance!

Harry gets to finish his Hogwarts education and has more time for his relationship with Ginny while also getting more time with dumbledore to plan.

On the other hand, Voldemort also has more time to infiltrate the ministry by secrecy and plant spies

I keep seeing A Second Chance by Breanie pop up on this subreddit. It’s something that I started a long time ago but only got a few chapters in before I forgot about it.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about getting back into it, but have seen some people talk about issues with the fic.

The biggest issue I keep seeing is the untagged non con. Now, normally this isn’t too big an issue, but I prefer knowing in advance about it to decide whether or not I’ll give it a full read. I’m hoping to know if this Hinny fic is worth reading and if there’s anything I need to watch out for going into it.

I feel like I’ve explained why I ship them a million times, both in and out of the fandom, to the point where I’m completely exhausted from having to justify why I believe Ginny is perfect for Harry (and vice versa), as if it were some kind of crime. And it’s not just that: people constantly bring up other girls who would supposedly be “better” for him, as if Harry’s endgame partner were some kind of contest based on who was or could have been more useful to him in his mission against Voldemort, as if utility defines love.

This post isn’t about pulling out my thousand-and-one book quotes to back up my stance (though there are plenty, and feel free to drop yours in the comments). Tonight, during a late-night conversation with my brother, I realized the answer is actually much simpler than it seems.

Harry was drawn to Ginny, not some other girl. Attraction isn’t something you can control, we saw that firsthand with his crush on Cho, and yeah, haha. But seriously, going from a crush to marriage and three kids is a long journey, and I truly believe they chose each other for very specific reasons.

Harry needed someone outside the Golden Trio, no matter how much it might hurt fans of a certain ship. Ron and Hermione are his best friends, but they were too deeply entangled in Voldemort’s chaos to possibly be a refuge for him. Besides, they were clearly romantically interested in each other, I’d even dare to say since the second book, so they were already wrapped up in their own dynamic. Beyond that, I think Harry craved normalcy: to just feel like a 16-year-old who loves Quidditch and hangs out with his friends. But at the same time, it’s impossible to ignore that he also needed someone who truly understood the concrete danger Voldemort posed, not just as some abstract threat. And tada! Guess who fits that perfectly? Exactly. Ginny.

The way Ginny makes Harry feel is simply wonderful. She’s that future he didn’t even allow himself to dream of after Voldemort returned. She’s like a little ray of sunshine and a safe haven from all the mess Voldemort dragged them into, yet she’s never ignorant of him or how dangerous he is to the wizarding world. That’s why she fought, and that’s why she accepted Harry ending their relationship after the funeral so he could focus on his mission. And I truly believe Harry represents the same thing for her: that kind, brave boy who, without even really knowing her, nearly gave his life for her. Someone who values his friends above everything else and treats her family like his own, loving them deeply. What more could she possibly ask for? They’re just perfectly matched.

What are your go-to hinny fics that you can read again and again? Finished most of seriouslysam’s, annerb’s, & northumbian’s fics so I’m looking for some recommendations!

Are there any Harry/Ginny High School or Secondary fics that y’all enjoy? I prefer reading on A03 but really good fics from other sites are good too!

I just feel like reading young romance and Harry having a crush. I am listening to the full cast audio of HP7 but I must take several breaks because I keep crying. You’d have thought I haven’t read the books before with the way I am reacting lol.

I keep seeing fics pop where at some point during Harry's schooling, a "magical set of books called the Harry Potter series" appears and then they read them publicly, usually with some changes for a more AU tone.

But has anyone seen one of these actually get completed?

It's a fun idea, but I've never seen one fully run its course.

Hi! I dont really remember anything, sorry:(
I just remember its about harry and ginny, maybe on fanfic not shure. Ita about ginnys 7th year and she is with harry, but they are having problems and another guy from her class wants to be with her. I think harry travels (runs away) and she goes to the others guy house. Thx
