r/HarryandGinny

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.

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!

I recently read a spicy Truth or Dare fic titled "The Marauders' Deck" on AO3, and I appreciated the creativity of its format. I would appreciate receiving recommendations for similar types of fiction. Rated T to Explicit are fine.

My first Hinny story.

In a world where Voldemort never existed, there are a lot of changes that can happen. But some things remain the same. In this world, Harry Potter's greatest challenges aren't Horcruxes; they're Quidditch matches, a nagging mother, and a secret he's desperate to keep (maybe even from himself). Harry thinks he's being subtle. He thinks no one notices the skulking, the frantic worrying, or the way his focus slips whenever a certain redhead is nearby. He is wrong.

So...Harry Potter has a crush on Ginny Weasley. Here are the ten people who discovered his crush and their perspectives in the moment leading to their discovery.

It’s going to be 5 chapters with two different perspectives/POVs each chapter.

I’ve got the first three chapters written and plan on posting a chapter each week. The other two I’m…still working on

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me find a Hinny fic where Voldy cursed Ginny into a mermaid during the final battle. Years passed and Harry is now a professor at Hogwarts when he sees Ginny, who goes by another name. The fic was nearly completed last I read it, with Harry close to breaking the curse but I didn’t bookmark it so I don’t know if it was ever completed. Appreciate any help 🫶

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

About a week ago, I finished reading A Second Chance by Breanie which was my only read for two weeks straight, and I think it kind of broke me because I haven’t been able to read any Hinny since. It was a painful read especially because of how slow the author was to actually get Hinny together (I knew that from the start, but let’s be honest, we like to suffer). And if I’m being honest, I couldn’t stop reading.

I’ve tried starting some fanfics from my recommendation spreadsheet, but I just can’t get into them. Right now, I’ve been sick with a cold for the past three days and have time off work, and I feel like I’m completely wasting it.

I think I need some of that clumsy, oblivious Harry who’s deeply in love with Ginny the kind I absolutely adore. I don’t know, something with a lot of romance between them, something comforting, without so much waiting.

Please help!!!!!

Hi people… just trying to track a few HG fanfics from the golden era posted in checkmated. These are from Velvethope: 17, Clumsy and Shy, its sequel: in Essence and From Answers To Questions.

Just posting here hoping for some luck!

Thanks!

I just got to Harry and Ginny’s first kiss and it really surprised me. It felt really special like I was in the room. It was really cool to hear the crowd cheering and then silence. If you heard it did you like it ?

Just posted a new chapter of my Harry Potter fic *For Dust to Settle*.

Post-war story following Harry as an Auror dealing with the aftermath of the war, while building a life with Ginny and the Weasleys.

This chapter includes:

– A Burrow birthday scene

– Teddy & family moments

– An Auror case involving Umbridge

– A darker turn with cursed Muggles

Would love any feedback or thoughts!

Summary: Nobody built anything for Harry Potter. He's been thinking about this, sideways, the way he thinks about things too large to look at straight on, for the better part of a Saturday afternoon.
