**Ginevra Molly "Ginny" Potter**, née **Weasley**, is a canonical pure-blood witch and Hogwarts student. She was in the year below Harry and was sorted into Gryffindor, in whose Quidditch team she played chaser and (when Harry was forbidden to play during the 1995/96 school year) seeker; after graduation she became a professional Quidditch player in the Holyhead Harpies and later Quidditch correspondent, and eventually sports editor, at the *Daily Prophet*. During the 1992/93 school year she was possessed by Tom Riddle, who used her to open the Chamber of Secrets; later she was a member of Dumbledore's Army and fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower and the Battle of Hogwarts. Sometime before 2004 she married Harry, with whom she had three children: James, Albus and Lily.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Ginevra Weasley** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Her birthday is 11 August.

Ginny had a crush on Harry at least since the time she first met him, as a ten-year-old following her brothers to King's Cross Station, but it would take a long time before he saw her in a similar light. In her third year, she went to the Yule Ball with Neville Longbottom as friends; during it she met Michael Corner, and the two started dating "at the end of [the] year" (it is unclear if this refers to school year or calendar year) – something she kept secret from her family until Hermione mentioned it to Ron a few weeks into the Fall semester. However, she broke up with him the next year after he complained about her team winning the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw Quidditch game, and within a few months she instead started dating Dean Thomas. This relationship lasted through most of her fifth year, even though she found his solicitousness toward her annoying, but she finally broke up with him in late April; by then, Harry was ready and they quickly became a couple.

## Non-canonical information

### *The Code*

In this slightly AU story, fifth-year Ginny seems to be "getting over her crush on the boy-hero" and has an active social life, dating at least three different people during the Fall term (not counting Liam O'Flannery, who she insists she only "hung out at the library" with). In January, she attends a "rather exclusive" pool party in the Prefects' bathroom hosted by Pansy Parkinson (but also including many from the Neutral party), and a few weeks later Terry Boot asks for a Valentine's Day date by serenading her in the middle of the second floor hall together with the Hogwarts show choir; she keeps up appearances in public but later turns him down in private.

Her mother wants her to go into healing like she did, but Ginny has problems with Potions and considers becoming an attorney instead (professional Quidditch sounding fun, but less "useful").

### *The Girl Who Loved* and *Violence Inherent in the System*

Here, the Sorting hat is said to have wanted to place Ginny in Slytherin, and she might have agreed had it not been for Harry being in Gryffindor. Her obsession with Harry is exaggerated compared to canon (or possibly just more highlighted); throughout the two stories, she repeatedly considers potions as a possible countermeasure to any sign of Harry being interested in anybody beside her (but when she finally does use one it is on herself instead, to redirect her interest to somebody she has a chance to get), and she is said to be the leader of the Harry James Potter is Dreamy Fan Club. She herself notes that her childhood friendship with Luna Lovegood might have lasted longer if she had let the other girl play the bride at least one of the many times they played "Marry Harry Potter".

### *The Power of Seven*

In this story, Harry realizes that he is a horcrux already in sixth year, whereupon Hermione finds an old ritual that she believes will destroy it without harming him. It requires him to create soul bonds with seven witches; Ginny is not happy, but finds the alternative unacceptable and insists on being the first. Once done, the mental connection created by the bond quickly removes her worries; in fact, she finds herself aroused by seeing Harry with other women. The other bonded, they decide, are to be Hermione, Luna, Demelza Robins (who is said to be a year-mate of Ginny's), Susan Bones, Katie Bell and Fleur Delacour.

## Shipping

Ginny, being the canonical partner of the main character, is often paired with him by default (see Category:Hinny) but may also show up in several other pairings, especially when the author prefers a different pairing for Harry. However, these other pairings are seldom central to the plot unless they are polyamorous and include Harry (see Category:Ginny in harem and Category:Harem for Ginny).
