Hinny 💍 - The One With No Voldy and Where Everyone Lives

AU, where Harry happens to hear a conversation between his grandfather, Fleamont Potter, and his father, James. Fleamont, who has been looking weaker by the day, tells his son he knows his and Euphemia's time is coming to an end, and his only regret is not being able to witness Harry grow up and get married. This bothers Harry, and while on a playdate at the Burrow, he confides in Ginny, who responds as if it were the most obvious solution: "Then let's get married."

They persuade their families to arrange a gathering, and they con the Weasley brothers into decorating the backyard. Ron stands by Harry's side as his best man, while Luna is Ginny's bridesmaid. All it took was one look from Harry and Ginny to convince Sirius to turn into Padfoot to be their ring bearer/flower girl; his outfit consisted of a bowtie and a tutu (James, Remus, Gideon, and Fabian nearly fell off their chairs laughing so hard).

They made each other's wedding rings. Harry's ring was made from the metal from his grandma's old Auror badge (which Euphemia gave to her willingly) and the very first snitch he caught for the first time and gifted to her. Ginny convinced Fabian and Gideon to transform into a ring. Ginny's ring was made of her favorite green bubble gum (that was suspiciously similar to Harry's eye color) and twigs of their broomsticks as the band, which Harry convinced his dad and Sirius to smooth out and place an unbreakable charm on with an auto-replenishing charm on the bubble gum.

They both dressed themselves for the occasion, and Harry asked his mom and godmother Marlene to help him pick flowers for Ginny's bouquet. He smelled each one and was very picky persistent it had to smell like Ginny's hair. It took Harry HOURS until he was finally satisfied with the arrangement. Molly volunteered to make their wedding cake, and a few days before the wedding, Ginny told her dad in a very grown-up tone to wear a bowtie because he was walking her down the aisle on Sunday. Hinny asked Hagrid to marry them, and when it was time to kiss the bride, Harry was just about to protest/lecture Hagrid about how he should have asked Ginny for her consent instead of giving him permission "to kiss the bride" (the boy was Lily Potter's son and a true feminist at heart), when Ginny pulled Harry down and gave Harry a big kiss on the lips. The kid was frozen for a solid minute and then couldn't stop smiling as he followed his 'wife' around all day.

They made Fleamont and Euphemia's wishes come true.

Then, 16 years later, they got married again.

I want to rec The faintest trace of you by GingerBaggins it’s one of the most beautifully sad fics (with a HEA) I’ve read in a long time

Thanks!

The Faintest Trace of You - GingerBaggins - E, 20 chapters, Words: 158,234 - A love told over two timelines. One of two adversaries, who learn to love in secret. One of two lovers, separated by the dividing line of war. In the centre, the hearts that thread them together, beating in tandem.

Unpopular opinion #3 (since people seem to like these stuff)

I'm gonna get hate for this but

Hinny feels forced and out of nowhere to me.

They had the perfect set up for a cute romance. Best friend's younger sister whom he's used to take care of, but suddenly she grows, doesn't seek his attention anymore and he slowly gets to know her as her own person instead of his buddie's sister. He find himself drawn to her and feels guilty about it for the typical reasons, only to realize she feels the same way, always has, and boom, their feelings finally clash in a passionate kiss after months of sexual tension and years of mutual pining. Beautiful.

Or at least that's what could have been if we saw them interacting more after the Chamber of Secrets thing, but we don't. Ginny practically dissapears after that, we only know of her through others' pov, and when she finally becomes relevant in harry's radar is when she's dating other boys and shows her skills in the quidditch field. Then suddenly, he notices how beautiful and funny she is, even though they're from the same house and they've surely seen each other often, either at the Burrow or around the common room.

They don't have a proper built-up, or any relevant interactions that hints at harry's interest in her, at least not enough to showcase the epic endgame couple they're supposed to be. It feels to me like the recurring trope that when a girl is in love with the protagonist long enough, she's bound to end up with him. Or the when someone is in love with you for so long, you must give them a chance.

I think one of the reasons it pisses me off so much is ginny's wasted potential. Because we could have had an amazing and compelling story about personal growth with a girl that, sick of being in her brothers' shadow and overlooked, finds the courage to forge her own path and make people recognize her for who she is, not as another Weasley. A story where, instead of fooling around to "make time" until her crush to notices her, she moves on from him and starts to date boys because she actually likes them and enjoys dating.

But no. Instead, all that development from her part is reduced to "hermione told me you might like me if i acted more like myself" "she told me to date other boys" bla bla bla

In conclussion:

Hinny had great potential as a love story, but it was done poorly

(REMINDER: This is just my opinion, and by no means i intend to force it unto other people or offend anyone. if you like hinny as a couple, good for you. I won't attack you because of it)

The Weasley Family

[violetthistle1]

**Sirius, while being questioned under veritaserum**

“What are your intentions with Remus?” Molly surprised everyone by asking. 

Sirius’s eyes went wide, as his mouth answered without a filter. “I love Moony with all my heart, I always have and always will. I intend to stay by his side until I die or he forces me away. I intend to provide for his every need and desire, and grow old together.” His cheeks were growing crimson with the blush that developed during his confession. His eyes darted to the newest onyx and gold ring added to his right ring finger. Molly followed his eyes and noticed the placement of the ring, but said nothing about it.

Narcissa Malfoy has officially been inducted into my Hall Of Badass Moms. She lied for Harry... for her son. And then when she had her child she fucking STALKED off the battlefield with him. She said Not my boy.

And Molly? Molly Weasley? She became the Champion for her disposal of Bellatrix...

Ginny Weasley 🧹- aka 🧨

GINNY WEASLEY AESTHETIC

My au.

Ginny had been staying with the order all summer and was getting really annoyed with everyone and everything; expesaly all the secret keeping.

Once back at school, she was resorted back into Gryffindor but hated Ron's attitude when Harry was sorted into Slytherin.

Also that Zabini has been bugging her since she went to see Harry in Slytherin for the first time, and it's starting to get annoying; Ron's not liking it either.

She had fun trying out for the Quidditch team as a seeker and was extremely pleased when she got in.

FIC REC!

Title and author: Mothers by @turanga4

Summary: "...he could have been levitating toy cars and…making Dudley’s toy soldiers fight, and…goodness knows what else, if we hadn’t…”

“If you hadn’t what?” asked Ginny, in a dangerous tone.

“...discouraged him,” answered Petunia, voice a little quieter but her eyes still defiant. “We swore, when we took him in, that we’d raise a normal boy.” 

“Right,” replied Ginny, standing suddenly from the couch despite her changing body’s protests. “Listen. This is how it’s gonna work now.”  A perhaps-belated visit to Number Four, Privet Drive.

Leading ladies: Ginny Weasley and Petunia Dursley

What's to love: BAMF Ginny Potter. It's Ginny versus Dursley, mother-to-be against mother-who-wasn't-quite-mother to Harry. This is an amazing fic that highlights the themes of week 2, Mothers, both in presence and absence of motherhood.
