Ginny Weasley

Coda

Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:17:55 GMT

GINNY WEASLEY recovers from her trauma and is released from Order custody back to her family in late September. She lives at the Burrow until late October, then goes back to Hogwarts to finish up her NEWTs. However, by early December she's back at the Burrow -- being at Hogwarts is just too difficult. She winds up doing independent study for her NEWTs with a tutor (paid for out of the remaining money from her modeling days) and gets acceptable though unexceptional scores when she sits the exams in the spring.

Living at the Burrow, she turns to physical activity as something that doesn't re-trigger her trauma, and rediscovers her love for Quidditch. She winds up playing for the Holyhead Harpies for a few years, although she suspects it's more that having a war hero on the team gives them cachet than because she's actually good enough to play professionally; she spends a lot of time on the bench. After retiring from the team, she becomes a sports reporter.

She and Luna stay close friends.

I wasn't able to stay long at Justin's funeral yesterday, because -- well, they're not letting me out yet without minders, and everyone had things they needed to be doing other than minding me. So I didn't get to talk to you.

But I wanted to tell you I am so sorry for your loss.

From things I've overheard I'm pretty sure Justin killed Ptolemy Baddock. And I wish I could have thanked him for that.

How are you doing? Is it true you have ~~Lana Sandoval's~~ your sister? Half-sister, I guess.

Private message to Ron

Thu, 27 Aug 2015 16:17:14 GMT

As you probably noticed, they gave me my journal back. I asked for it so I could write to Mum and Bill, because I still don't really want to see them yet. Charlie said he thought I was allowed to take as long as I needed. But I thought I could write to them, anyway, that would be something.

~~I feel like I should tell you~~

I told Luna today that I feel like the worst Gryffindor of all time. I couldn't -- when they took me into the interrogation room I told myself I wouldn't say anything, I'd hold out, but it wasn't much time at all before I'd told them everything I knew, everything I thought I knew, and started begging them to stop cruciating me. (They didn't.) When I joined the Order I told Hermione Granger I'd die before I told them the Order's secrets, and that turned out to be a lie. I mean, if I could have died I would have. I'd have done anything to get away. I mean, literally anything. If the only way to kill myself had been setting myself on fire I'd have done it. I tried to kill myself with a bed spring, later that night, but they caught me and took it away.

So she was right about me, after all. I was a failure as an Order member. I was a failure as a family member. If they'd offered to stop cruciating me if I'd killed one of you I'm pretty sure I'd have done it. As it was the only way to get them to stop was to break Mum's heart and I did that.

When they caught Neville, he had Hydra break his mind with cruciatus. He ASKED her. To make sure he wouldn't do what I did, and give everything away. Hermione and Draco held out until they were rescued and saved all of us.

I didn't.

Luna said I should think of it like her lycanthropy. Once a month she loses her mind, more or less, because that's what lycanthropy does. And this is what cruciatus does to people, it strips away ... who they thought they were. It breaks them apart. That I can't blame myself for what they did to me any more than she can blame herself for what they did to her.

But Ron it's so hard.

I don't

Seeing you is still too hard.

I understand now what they did to me. That they made me remember things that weren't real. But they still feel real. Healer Hadresham says that over time that will get less true and things will get easier.

I've asked if I can come stay at Hogwarts to be closer to all of you and Healer Hadresham said she'd talk to Madam Pomfrey and they'll think about it.

I've been trying to catch you in person but it seems like any time I'm at the castle, you're not. Was the second full moon any less awful for you than the first? If you ARE here and free this evening, I'm here! and free! and we could go take sandwiches out by the lake or something. (If you're not, well, I'll keep trying.)

Order Only: Private message to Alice Longbottom, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black

Mon, 06 Jul 2015 02:43:37 GMT

I sent Mrs Longbottom the list of people Honoria and I talked to this week and whether they're solidly Order, solidly not, wavering, or if they refused to talk to us. I wish we could go into New London, there are so MANY people I want to talk to there, but I guess it's going to be a while before that's not too dangerous?

The people who aren't on our side think the fake Phoenix attacks really are us. The people who ARE on our side don't believe it for a minute and think it's the Death Eaters. Oh plus there's this one bloke who thought it was some third group I'd never heard of and I think he'd made up. And we heard some other odd theories. People are strange.

Anyway, Honoria and I made up a list for next week of people to visit. For some of them we're thinking there are people we'd like to bring with us, unless they're too busy to consider it. Madam Pomfrey for the people who have connections to St Mungo's, Pansy for some of the more uptight purebloods (she's better at being charming than Draco is), we're thinking about a few others. If they have time. Anyway. I hope this is helpful?

You know that room full of papers and things that Rachel and Bill and everyone brought back here from the Ministry? Rachel asked me and Honoria to start going through all of it and we've been working on it. There was this locked cabinet I finally got open this morning that's full of wands, tagged with their owner.

One of them is tagged 'LONGBOTTOM N, 23DEC1997, CHERRY/UNICORN.' I'll bring it up to your office but I just wanted to let you know it's here and we found it.

There are also wands for loads of the people we liberated from Azkaban, like Astra Morgansen and Doria Hibbings.

Aloysius Archer's wand is here, too.

Private message to the 7th Year Hogwarts students

You should know that yesterday, I used polyjuice to take Ron's place guarding the Great Hall, so that he could slip away and go to help with the plan that was used to kill the Lord Protector (who's dead, really dead, just so you know. Dead forever.)

Anyway for most of the afternoon and during the battle until the polyjuice wore off, that was me you were seeing, not Ron. When Desai had Pansy cruciated -- that was me doing it. So, don't blame Ron for that. Although if he'd been there, I think he probably would have done it too, because the purpose of the singing was to create a distraction so we could all get our wands back.

Pansy, I'm really really sorry, though.

I know you want to be able to tell your friends and family who aren't at school about our thoroughly exciting evening, but maybe take your noses out of your journals a bit before our Head of House decides to incinerate your journals lest they distract you from exams?

Lana Sandoval had the Gryffindor prefects slip calming potions to all the younger Gryffindors this morning.

But apparently the Headmaster also dosed EVERYONE with calming potions. Not a full dose, though, I guess just a little bit.

Is that dangerous to the younger Gryffindors at all? Being dosed twice? Walburga Hornby fell out of her chair at lunch and someone carried her to the Hospital Wing. The rest are having a lot of trouble staying awake.

Order Only: Private message to Justin and Harry

Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:08:46 GMT

I'm worried about Ron. Justin, I'm sorry to bother you but you at least were at dinner tonight. I tried to find Ron earlier and I couldn't, and he hasn't been at any meals, and

~~I know they made him do horrible things. And you, too.~~

Ron never -- I mean, he almost never loses his appetite. Even after our Dad died he was still eating. Not much and not like he was enjoying the food but there was food around (because people brought it) and he was eating it.

I mean maybe he's just getting sandwiches from the elves or something but could you check? He told me if he wanted someone to act like Mum he'd just answer her message. I'm TRYING not to hover. I'm trying to give him space. I'm just really worried.

Okay.

So they're making people fight each other. Mostly so far they've been having councilwizards kill muggles but they've had them kill a few wizards, all of them Irish.

They've been announcing the names.

The muggles were from IMA, I guess. They didn't exactly say that but from what they said I'm guessing that's what they meant. There was:

Desmond Flannagan
Chevaun (?) Malone
Aiden O'Bierne
Connal Boyle
Fintan Delaney
Rosheen O'Faolan
Ryan Braden
Niall Friel
Quin Devlin
Oran Lynch

I was watching for Sean Finnigan but I haven't seen that one.

The wizards were all Irish, I guess. There was:

David O'Connor (that's who Seamus Finnigan killed)
Deirdre O'Connor
Killian O'Connor
Jermeth (?) Hearn
Lorcan Doherty

They all got defeated and then Voldemort told the people fighting them how to kill them. Deirdre was killed with the entrail-expelling curse and Jermeth was killed with some spell that made all his blood come out.

I know Neville's post might have you worried so I just want to let you know.

I'm fine.
Ron's fine.

He didn't do anything to either of us other than make us lie on the floor of the Great Hall through dinner. And I don't think I'd have had much of an appetite anyway.

How are you, Mum? Bill? Any excitement with the dragons, Charlie? What's new with the shop, Fred and George? Ron I guess I just saw you earlier this evening so there's not that much to get caught up on.

The Twins came by a little while ago and got Mum out of bed with ice water. She was pretty cross. They told her it was for her own good.

I think they were actually glad she got cross, she sounded more like herself.

Anyway we had tea together (Mum and I did, while the Twins dried out her bed and so on) and talked about my classes. She found my book list. I guess I was worried over nothing; she just wanted to know how I was going to keep myself safe around Dolohov. How worried do you think I actually need to be? He's never treated us any differently from anyone else, as far as I can tell, it's not like he actually has a blood feud with our family even though he killed two of our uncles, and Percy, or at least Mum thinks he was responsible for Percy. (Because of the galleon she found after the funeral.)

I had all my arguments ready for why I ought to take Dark Arts, but she didn't seem cross, exactly. It was like having a conversation about it with Sirius, almost, she was sensible about it.

I saw Honoria Sandoval today because we met up in New London for ice cream. ~~I just needed to~~

Anyway she told me her sister Lana Sandoval-Pennifold is going to be the new Dark Arts professor. Not for the NEWT students, just all the younger ones -- Honoria was relieved about that because she says she can't imagine ANYTHING worse than having to have a class from Lana.

She was a little surprised because she doesn't think Lana will be a very good teacher (and she certainly hasn't ever acted interested in teaching!) but apparently Dolohov is going to tutor her personally in Dark Arts so she can 'have her Mastery,' what does that even mean? I mean there are standards for Mastery in Potions and that actually means something, like you're allowed to brew certain very difficult potions and people can trust them, so what's a Mastery in Dark Arts for, exactly?

Honoria had no idea but said her sister's a Ravenclaw through and through and they'll do ANYTHING for more knowledge and they'll stand on their head and whistle if that's what it takes to get a special paper saying they're the CLEVEREST AND BEST EVER. (And then she admitted Luna's nothing like that, but she thinks Luna should've been Sorted into Gryffindor with the two of us, anyway.)
