Harry/Ginny - multi-chapter and still at Hogwarts
Although this is the most common het-pairing for Harry, there are surprisingly few lists around and those that I'm aware of only have links and titles. As I myself prefer to read a story not just from a rec but also from having a quick look at the summary, I decided that I'd have to make a list of my own if I wanted it done to my tastes.
I don't expect this list to ever be complete but I'll do my best.
What I take:
- Harry and Ginny are still at Hogwarts when their romance starts.
- Complete stories or lengthy WIPs.
- Novellength or (chaptered) novellas - but no one-shots or drabbles.
- No PWPs.
- The romance between Harry and Ginny doesn't necessarily have to be the main focus of the story but it should be a central part. I won't take stories where H/G is really just a background-story.
- No Harry/Multi.
- No fics where Harry and Ginny date for a while but then give up on each other. I will, however, accept fics where Harry and Ginny first dated someone else before realizing that they actually love each other.
- No crossovers.
I will also add links to sites that (primarily) archive H/G-fics and other rec-lists if I'm aware of them. And communities that are primarily dedicated to H/G (provided they are actually active). If you know of other H/G-lists or sites, please tell me about them.
When you rec stories for this list, please don't leave just a link. To put them up in this list I also need a Summary. Status (WIP, Complete, Abandoned or Hiatus) and Rating would help as well!!!
Thanks. :-) And thank you everyone who contributed to this list.
## I absolutely love this fic. It's really outstanding and original.
# Great fic, definitely worth a read.

Just before leaving for Hogwarts finds a letter from his future self: "Get to know Ginny. Fate owed me." This leads to Harry and Ginny soulbonding the moment they meet at the station before Harry begins his first year at Hogwarts.
The original version goes till the ending of OotP, the new version only is a few chapters so far (end of PoA right now) but as good as the original story was, the edited and corrected version is infinitely better. Not only are most of the spelling errors, etc. corrected, it's also a lot longer and more detailled (what originally was told in four chapters now spans over ten!) Well worth the wait to get the corrected version up to that point.

It's the summer before Harry's 6th year, and Harry is wracked with grief. But what happens when Harry makes a vow to himself to take control of his life? Harry's life takes a sharp turn when he gets an unexpected visitor one night, who helps him on his way to finding himself. (Dumbledore is slightly manipulative but well-meaning and Harry's friends Ron and Hermione are a bit obnoxious: Hermione keeps pressuring about suppressing is grief, absolutely convinced that she knows best. Ron is a bit more self-centered than in canon and very much against Ginny dating, and by his behaviour also drives a wedge between himself and Harry. I expect this to be resolved soon, though.)
