the people who claim ginny’s “personality” came out of nowhere never fail to amaze me with their inability to actually comprehend the text

it’s literally shown in PS (fleetingly) on the train platform and talked about as early as CoS that ginny weasley is a certified YAPPER. she’s a talkative, opinionated gal. ron points out that her quiet / shy behaviour is very unusual for her, so if one does have basic comprehension skills, it is pretty clear that the ginny we see in the earlier books (which are from harry’s pov) is not who she really is. ginny says as much herself in HBP, “i never used to be able to talk in front of you remember? hermione thought you’d take more notice if i was a bit more… myself”? like are we comprehending this? it’s not rocket science…

as the books go on, her confidence around harry grows the more she detaches herself from the idea of harry that she grew up with, and the actual harry. this journey is slightly impeded by the fact that harry saves ginny’s life in CoS, which she feels a significant amount of guilt and embarrassment over (which harry himself picks up on this in PoA), not to mention she’s still processing the trauma that accompanied that experience (as seen in the way she reacts to the dementors — she is the only one who has a strong reaction to them, like harry). in the years following, we find out in CC (whether you take that to be canon or not), ginny explains she was very lonely during and after the diary debacle, as she felt very isolated from everyone else. this would also cause her self-confidence to take a severe battering, therefore her true personality is not able to shine, especially not in front of harry potter aka her crush aka the boy who saved her life and almost died doing it.

in GoF, harry (and in turn us, as the readers) start to see glimpses of her playful personality - she’s close with fred and george, she calls her brothers out when they’re being unkind, she goes to the yule ball with neville (turning down the opportunity to go with harry, because she doesn’t want to go back on her word), she gives ron’s owl a silly name and she starts to let go of her childhood crush, and takes a chance on another boy who’s actually shown interest in her.

by the time we see her again in OotP, OF COURSE she has undergone some serious character development. she has a boyfriend now! she has a group of friends now! she’s able to be herself around harry! she has a better support system now, her self confidence has returned, and with it, her sense of self worth. she calls harry out on his shit when he needs it, she also comforts him and gives him the space to share his worries without judgement or admonition, she stands up for what’s right, she kicks ass at quidditch (which she’s been wanting to do for the past four years bc she has been practising since she was six years old!), she joins the fight at the DoM, risking her life and dumps her boyfriend for being a sore loser! because she deserves better than that!

the ginny we see in HBP has gone through So Much. but she has only continued to grow as a character - with so much heart, wit and spunk. of course, harry is paying attention now and of COURSE he’s a flustered mess trying not to fall for his bestfriend’s sister for nearly 800 pages but he can’t help it!!!

a lot of ginny’s development happens behind the scenes, in quiet ways, but if you actually pay attention, it’s very obvious who she truly is. the reader slowly becomes more fascinated by this girl as more and more of her story unravels — as does harry. and that’s the beauty of it.

Despite the rumors and the appearance, you may find that Ronal Speirs...

Can actually be kinda soft!!

[insidejobramble]

inside job photo dump, also I still miss inside job, it’s literally on the popular section of Netflix now, people obviously like it, and they liked it before it got cancelled too??? Like hello? I just genuinely don’t understand why they didn’t atleast give one more season

[pooks]

honestly, i think every Weasley are protective of Percy because he may be a pompous nerd, but he is their pompous nerd and no one messes with them. :))

so what happens when some poor soul decides to date their nerdy cinnamon roll? they will come with the threats if Percy is treated wrong

Bill: uses his "eldest big brother" card to threat them. remember, he's a fucking Cursebreaker and knows some nifty Egyptian curses. Charlie: shows off his buff muscles and threats to feed them to his dragons. he tames fucking dragons for a living!

Fred & George: yeah, they tease Percy a lot. but he's their favorite brother and they will threat with their prank products. the untested ones, if you may.

Ron: hurt Percy? you don't even get a second of warning before he pounces on the culprit and beat the shit of them or sicc his excellent girlfriend Hermione on them.

Ginny: she's a spitfire and Percy took care of her growing up when their parents had their hands full. she will threat DEATH upon anyone who hurts Percy.

Molly: oh please, she's the Mama Bear™. the second locks eyes with someone wronging her sweet, responsible and proper baby son, it's too late. you better pray it's over quickly.

Arthur: no one believes it until they see it. he's the most protective of Percy. it's his son who looks like him and wants to be just like him, working at the ministry and all that jazz! he's all smiles, but you can just feel the fury of death radiating him. it's always the calm one you gotta watch out for!

conclusion? the Weasleys loves Percy, even if they tease and prank him a lot. they have one rule about dating him: treat Percy well and you may live. if you don't, you're dead meat.

bonus, cause we deserve a live reaction of our favorite nerd Weasley

Percy: :o

Y’know I find Speirs so fascinating bc he acts like one of the coldest bitches around. People are literally terrified of him and he actively cultivates that aura around himself. And then he turns around and is also one of the most caring and affectionate officers around.

For example, caring for Lipton, ordering him to bed and feeding him schnapps and strudel. Looting his way through Germany/Austria and sending all his treasure to his wife and child. Holding Grant’s hand when the doctor is examining him. Then going out of his way to find a brain surgeon. Almost killing the private responsible.

It feels like he cares too much so he hides his feelings behind a blank face and scary rumours (most of which are true) but as the war progresses he just lets it go.

Deruth: That’s my son 🤧🥹 That’s the boy I raised

"My father will hear about this!" is actually healthy child behaviour

So one of Draco's most iconic lines (from the movies at least, but the same sentiment is in the book) is "My father will hear about this" or "Wait till my father hears about this".

It's usually used to ridicule Draco from what I have seen...but to me it makes Draco a more relatable child character compared to the trio.

As a kid, and even as an adult, I was very open with my parents. I told them basically everything. They were very involved in my life and I felt comfortable going to them with all my problems.

Admit it: would you prefer kids like the trio who go off on dangerous adventures, leaving adults in the dark or would you prefer a kid like Draco who will loudly tell you what's bothering him?

This is what these lines tell me about Draco's relationship with his dad and himself:

Draco has a close emotional bond with his father. He is ok with telling his father about his daily life which should be healthy child behaviour.

He believes his father cares about him and his safety. You don't complain to a parent who does not care about you.

And of course, the rebuttal is that children should not be overly dependent on their parents and they need to learn how to handle problems on their own.

Well, I have a news flash for you! If your kid is being abused by teachers or feels they are being treated unjustly at school, they should not be made to handle it on their own!!! Maybe Harry would have benefitted from having more of Draco's attitude. And then maybe Umbridge would not have been able to torture how many kids without hordes of angry parents descending on Hogwarts!

As problematic as the Malfoys are, I genuinely believe they have one of the healthiest nuclear families. Neville's grandma is...let's just say that it's a tragedy that JKR made Snape Neville's boggart when his grandma is ultimately responsible for Neville's self-esteem issues. Didn't one of his uncles throw him out a window as a kid?? Harry's family are hella abusive. Ron had a broken wand and feared going to his parents about it which is a huge red flag! You know given how dangerous a broken wand is! Hermione doesn't seem to give a damn about her parents. We don't even know their names. And I truly fail to understand why some muggleborne kids were never removed from school. Hermione was petrified and her parents sent her back the following year? Either Hermione never told them, the school hushed it up and/or the parents couldn't care less. Either option is bad.

I don't care what the antis think about Draco. When/If I have a kid in the future, when they have issues I hope they will feel secure saying "My mom will hear about this!".
