How was your day, Harry asks.

Terrible, Ginny wants to say. I cried an hour this morning. All I could think of was how I’ve no life of my own. How I’ve lost myself, how I don’t know what I’m like anymore. Seeing Luna made it even more terrible, because she doesn’t act or pretend to be anyone else, she’s able to be herself.

I don’t think I can do this anymore, she wants to say.

Ginny says, Splendid! I saw Luna, she is obsessing over yet another creature right now. Let’s eat this stew I made today, she says and smiles.

Because Ginny knows that Harry married her because she’s an outgoing, laughing person. Because she doesn’t fight with Harry. Because she makes Harry feel loved and normal. Because Ginny doesn’t cry in Harry’s presence - Harry can’t deal with crying girls. Because he wants to be part of the Weasley family. Harry married Ginny because she’s Ron’s sister.

And Ginny used to think she could take that, be all Harry wanted her to be, because she loved Harry.

Ginny always knew that it’s no good to get into a relationship if you want to change your partner.

She wishes someone had told her it’s not healthy to need to change yourself for the relationship, either.

Now, the only thing that keeps Ginny from falling into pieces is that Harry is Ron’s best friend.

With Harry, she can hang out with Ron as much as she wants. When she’s feeling really down, she can propose that they go visit Ron, and Ron always smiles when he sees them, and that makes breathing a bit easier for Ginny. When Ron is present, it’s easy to laugh and joke and flip her hair like that, so that it gleams nicely in the light and falls prettily down her shoulders, and makes Harry reach out to touch it almost unconsciously.

The difficult part is to leave it at that and not lick her lips or look suggestive, at least not when looking at Ron instead of Harry, but by now, Ginny has become quite good at pretending and suppressing her natural reactions.

The difficult part is to leave Ron’s house in the evening and go to bed with Harry.
